  • I built a small motorcycle workbench for moped wrenching. This moped workbench was built with mostly reclaimed items minus the garden hose hanger used as a wheel stop.
    The idea behind it was to be able to sit on my small bench seat, wrench and get off the floor. Also to keep it low enough that I wouldn't need a ramp. I wanted to be able to move it out of the way and store it up against the wall in my garage.
    The base is made of two 2x1 wood studs as a foundation to hold various 1-inch boards as the base of the workbench. This piece was sourced from work, some equipment was shipped on it and it inspired the project.
    I had some scrap 2x4 that I cut in half mostly. I cut the 2x4 into 11-inch pieces. I screwed those to the front of the workbench.
    I had a neighbor who was redoing his kitchen and didn't like how his drawers came out and were throwing them away. I liked one piece to use as a cubby and doubled it as a brace for the 2x4 legs.
    To finish it off, I used a milk crate to support the rear of the workbench.
    I have been using it for about a month since this upload, and it has been great. It holds the weight of mopeds well. I would not recommend getting on the moped while it is on this type of workbench. The height is what's great about it, its simple to pop the moped off and get on it to turn it on and put it back on the workbench when needed.
    Some issues with my workbench could be the length. My workbench works with mopeds that still have a center stand. As the rear wheel hangs off the rear. I haven't had an issue with that yet, but I will probably resolve it with adding another milk crate to hold the rear wheel. Then strap the bars to the wheel stop.
    The mobility of this design is one of the features I like about it. I can load this into the back of my truck with my toolbox and service mopeds around town.
