I built a scooter Lift 4 years ago when I got my 250cc scooter. I wanted something to have the scooter elevated so I could do a good PDI on it. Since then this lift has proven to be one of the best things I ever built as it is used all the time for doing scooter maintenance on not only my scooters but my dads also. Well over time space in the garage has become very valuable. So I decided it would be nice to be able to fold the lift up to take less space in the garage. After a bit of thinking on it and measuring I found that with it folded up It would be just about the same height as my other benches so when folded up to move out of the way it could double as a work bench.
