Bike Stands

[HORSPWR]

So what's everyone using, I'm not talking about workshop stands just general park my bike up stands and for cleaning.
It'd be great to see some pictures, I don't have one for my Merida e160 so I'd like to see what's out there.
Not being able to rotate the cranks and have the back wheel off the ground makes washing the drive train a pain. My non ebike has the one that has a spindle that goes through the bottom bracket but sadly it's too big to fit my ebike cranks.

I have a cheap eBay work stand for my old MTB but it can’t support the weight of my e-bike, so I made one using stuff I had lying around. Admittedly not everyone will have an engine stand and storm drain pipe, though! And it takes up a bit of space.

I like the concept.

I like the concept.

Try @Fjmcustombikestands - they made this for my levo. In this case with an 8mm spindle that goes through the hollow crank but they’ll innovate something else to suit as required.

That looks pretty slick!

Personally I’m yet to see a stand that won’t work for an ebike (they are significantly over engineered for analogue bikes), though sometimes the jaw setups leave a little to be desired and need a spot of adaption.

Love the tire size on your bike! Go big or go home!!!

Kinda hard to tell for sure, are the tires on the ground with that stand? Can you rotate the cranks 360*?

Feed back scorpion stand works great. Easy to put your crank either side into it and the rear tire is off the ground. I carry it in the car with me to clean and lube my bike after rides.

Thanks.

Back wheel is off the ground so you can spin the back wheel and yes, the crank still turns as normal

I did a search but it didn’t return much but like it was pointed out to you in one of those threads by another poster I’m not really interested in workshop stands.

Also if things were only discussed once then the forums would soon run out of steam and there would be nothing to discuss. As ebikes are fairly new and new products are coming out all the time then it’s fair to revisit products and technologies.

I couldn’t find anything I liked so I made my own out of Stainless Steel.

I’ve got one of these, it had a quick release system so can easily be folded away and stored in the boot/back seats. I tend to only use it at home but it folds down nicely and sits out of the way in the shed. It takes a few seconds to pack/unpack.

its a neat idea but I wonder about the "twisting" force it is exerting with 20+ kgs hanging off it!!

No problem with my Commencal Meta Power, with the battery off! You can change the angle of the clamp to match the top tube angle so it sits comfortably.

I have one of these

it'll fit any of my bikes and I use it for everything from washing my bikes, to storing the one I'm currently using inside the house to basic maintenance which doesn't require my workshop stand. it folds flat so is really quick and easy to store when not in use.
I also have 3 wall mount brackets in the house for bikes I'm not using at the time (I generally ride more than one bike most days and tend to keep at least 4 indoors) my less used bikes are stored elsewhere.
