Abstract:
A portable towing system for a motorcycle or similar vehicle, such as a trike, the frame of which can be lowered to ground level to facilitate loading of the motorcycle or similar vehicle by pushing or riding the vehicle onto the frame without risk of the vehicle falling off the sides of a steeply inclined ramp. The towing system may be assembled, raised, lowered, and disassembled by a single person, if desired. The raising and lowering of the frame is effected by a lifting and lowering mechanism connected with the wheel assemblies.

Claim (Index 2):
A towing system comprising:\n a) a frame to support a vehicle; b) said frame comprising two wheel assemblies removably connected with said frame; c) each wheel assembly configured to raise and lower a portion of said frame connected with said wheel assembly; d) each wheel assembly comprising\n i) a frame insertion member insertable into said frame; \n ii) a wheel attachment member; \n iii) a wheel attached to said wheel attachment member; \n iv) a first plate member connected to said wheel attachment member and comprising a mounting aperture; \n v) a lever insertion opening, said lever insertion opening structured and arrange to receive a lever to assist raising or lowering the portion of said frame connected with said wheel assembly; \n vi) a second plate member comprising a mounting aperture; \n vii) a disc connected to said frame insertion member, said disc comprising at least four apertures comprising a centrally positioned aperture and at least three locking apertures spaced about said centrally positioned aperture; \n viii) a spindle connecting said first plate member with said second plate member, said spindle positioning said first plate member and said second plate member so that said mounting aperture of said first plate member and said mounting aperture of said second plate member; \n ix) said frame insertion member connected to said first plate member, said disc, and said second plate member by a pivot shaft passing through said mounting aperture of said first plate member, said centrally positioned aperture of said disc, and said mounting aperture of said second plate member, and rotation about said pivot shaft raises and lowers the portion of the frame connected with said wheel assembly; \n x) a releasable locking device that engages one of said three locking apertures spaced about said centrally positioned aperture and locks rotation about said transverse pivot shaft; and \n e) said frame may be raised and lowered between at least two selectable heights, one of said at least two selectable heights corresponding to a height permitting pushing or riding the vehicle onto said frame and another of said at least two selectable heights corresponding to a height for towing the supported vehicle.
