Horizontal Ebike Storage

[1Tuna]

I'm lucky to have a vaulted ceiling in a double stall garage. It's also used as a workshop so floorspace is a priority. I already have a ceiling mounted Racor I think a hinged horizontal assembly would work best for eBike unloading/loading and short term or winter time storage. May build this using aluminum channel stock. I'd have to fashion some type of lifting system using a Harbor Freight worm gear winch and a cordless drill.

I just use a spare bedroom. Its super handy because I no longer have people trying to cop a free vacation stay at the beach since the hotel room is now a bike garage.

Yep thats like down sizing after the kids move out so there is no room for them the ever come back, LOL.

That's my wife's holiday decorations storage. I'm not even going to try that!

I'm satisfied now. Beefed up my Racor PHL-R Lift with some .125" x 1.25' x 1.25" angle iron on ends and back-to-back .125" x 1" x 1" angle iron at mid-point making a t-beam. PHL-R capacity #250 (distributed). With #80 on the rack and my Surly Disc Trucker 26" connected using kayak hoist hooks. For the 4' span of 't-beam' deflection is .0625". Vaulted ceiling just tall enough to suspend bike 9" above the Tacoma bed cover, near 60" off the floor. Takes a whole 2 minutes to move truck, lower lift/unhook bike/roll away/raise lift, and put truck back in garage.

That looks super handy to also load/unload your ebike straight into the Tacoma tray if needed!
