Can this weird €200 motorcycle gadget actually save your back? After a recent spine injury, I tested the Eastbound MotoWinch to see if a solo rider can really lift a heavy bike alone. In this video, I unbox and test the MotoWinch, a self-rescue tool designed for adventure motorcyclists. I've been struggling with spine damage after a car accident, and my doctors warned me against heavy lifting. That makes finding a reliable way to ride my bike during off-road training essential. I share my honest first impressions, from the satisfying 'bloop' sound during assembly to the real-world frustrations of using a ratchet strap as a winch. Is it a lifesaver for injured riders, or just an expensive stick? I dive into the 'ratchet jam' issue and why the strap quality surprised me.
