There's been several attempt it, two very good attempts in Glasgow, all gone that I know of (there's bike shed in London but think it's more of a £20 cocktail place rather than a spend 2 days rattling a seized swing arm bolt out of some junker type of place).
My two cents on the attempts I've seen so far, people who are cheap enough to do it themselves (or because they prefer to or can't trust garages) don't want to pay rental time, even though its obviously less than the cost of the lift /heated workshop space/tools/helpful knowledge. Even getting £5 an hour out of folk is hard wokr sometimes.
We are gonna have a bash at storage, and as a sweetener, there's a bench /lift table/wheel machine maybe /air line and a smattering of decent ish tools included in the price. If I can't get people for that at £60 a month (one third the price of an unsecured, unheated, no electrical supply garage anywhere near here) then I'll find something else to do with the space.

Ok that's interesting. Means I might be able to get a Daytona after all! Keep us updated please.

That’s interesting, a lot of what you’ve said there is my take on it too. The old adage of “it only takes one seized bolt...” would definitely be a concern for me if I were trying to rent out a lift by the hour/day too.
I think my mates plan will happen in some sense because he’s got the space anyway, and it’s more about having multiple revenue streams so I guess we’ll see what happens

Where would this be? I'd be super interested in this type of arrangement.

Similar to Brickman’s question, and asking out of curiosity and on behalf of a mate - would anyone on here be likely to use a hire-a-lift type scenario? Ride in, bike on the lift, get your servicing done. Hourly and day rate. Basic tools supplied, oil etc available to buy. Not in London, before anyone gets too excited.
