Abstract In our country, manytimes we noticed that one person is handling a breakdown Bike/Scooter and another person is pushing this Bike/Scooter by using his leg. This method of towing a vehicle is unsafe for everyone on the road. In foreign countries, there may be some development on solution of this problem. 2-wheeler towing dolly prototypes are there, but the towing is carried out by a 4-wheeler or by a heavy vehicles. And also this type of dolly occupies more space in garage. During the conversation with some Garage Mechanics, We noticed that,they have no any two wheeler towing arrangement, therefore they take risks by towing a vehicle by his single leg. In some cases, there may be a breakdown Bike/Scooter is towing by 4-Wheeler or by heavy vehicle. But again if a mechanic, who doesn’t have a 4- wheeler, he cannot tow a 2-wheeler. Our goal is to make a towing dolly. It would be used to tow 2- wheeler by using another 2-wheeler. It consists of two wheels and two adjustable supporting arms. The dolly will have a slit in the middle of the dolly which is adjustable and it can increase and decrease its spacing as per the diameter of the wheel of the 2-wheeler. The front wheel of the vehicle will be placed on the dolly, while the last wheel be trailing on the road.
