1) Small, fairly basic lift that has two rubberised lengths that sit 90deg's across the underside middle section of the bike when it lifts - basically around the floor pan area if I can call it that
2) larger, heavier lift that the whole bike sits on and many come with front wheel clamps.
I believe some people have used type 1 quite successfully, I just wanted to check it's safe and will cause no issues to raise the bike like this (it seems there is no need to remove the exhaust on the PCX, unlike other scooters, as long as it's not hot). They also seem to come in approx 20-28KG's which is not too bad to store and bring out when needed.
I would prefer type 2, however they mostly seem to retail about £350 (I would be fine with around £200) but the problem is their weight which is in the 130-160KG's area - much too heavy and cumbersome to store in house and bring out to the front yard - I have front door steps and modest UK size house - much smaller than many homes in the US
Any guidance would be appreciated as there are lots of work I really should start doing on the bike, despite it running like a dream & still giving 132mpg (fuelly) after 4 years and getting on for 16,000 miles (only front pads and rear tyre (both once) and oil 3 times in it's life - poor thing)
