Intrigued, it's so hard to get my front wheel out of the HF chock I have (it's not anchored so it just slides along the floor) that I just wind up using my floor jack to lift it up and out which is a real pain.
I have the black HF chock anchored to the floor, gotta grab the bag guards to help rock it back out but it does the job!
From what I see, the lever is pretty far forward. With my stubby legs I have trouble reaching the jiffy stand, much less reaching right behind the front tire.
the lever doesn't look any harder to reach than the jiffy stand. and you don't need to hit the lever with your foot while you're in the seat to remove your bike, only when you ride in.
Ok thanks. I was looking for a video to see how it worked. The lever I THOUGHT you pushed, was the one that you push down to exit. Their website does not clearly show the lever you push to lock in. That lever does come back farther.

Are you OK with the wheel clamp grabbing onto the rear end of the front fender like that? Or maybe I am looking at the "Release" foot lever near the fender. Mine clamps onto the wheel itself and pulls the bike INTO the chock. I agree these Wheeldock Chocks are great for getting these heavy *** bikes in and out of them...just roll in and out.
Yep love my wheeldock. got the short man blues at 5'9 so pulling out of a condor wasn't a option. Wheel dock and I use it in our toy hauler also. works great. Best money spent for the bike but not on the bike.

Seeing that its locked in when docking and unlocked from the side I can see it working even for us shorties (5'6"). I have the drive over seesaw type and it was work even for the sportster. If I have my riding boots on and the Ultra was docked perfectly straight I could use it on the ultra. However it took me a out 5-6 hard pulls grabbing the front brake to not lose the 1" of movement I just gained.
Last time I used it in my shop I had to have the wife help me pull the bike off the darn thing. I am pondering a way to use a foot lever to help me roll it off for next time.
