A motorcycle ramp which is installed in a rear passenger compartment of a wheelchair converted van to allow a full-size motorcycle to be loaded into, transported within and unloaded out of the van by a single person. Parallel supporting rods are mounted to the floor of the van at an incline so the front end of the supporting rods are higher than their rear ends. A plate onto which the front wheel of the motorcycle can be driven and secured is movably provided mounted on the support rods. The plate is provided with a first reversible motor, activated by a first three-way switch in order to move the plate forward or rearward on the supporting rods. The plate is also provided with a second reversible motor, activated by a second three-way switch in order to simultaneously move a clamping member and rear pushing member toward a stationary upright member, thereby securing the motorcycle\s front wheel between the stationary upright member and the clamping member and between a front guide member provided on the plate and the rear pushing member. The second reversible motor also may be activated by the second three-way switch to release the motorcycle\s front wheel from the motorcycle ramp.
