I got this one from Amazon. Same day delivery as well. Real sturdy and works great so far. Bikehand Pro Mechanic Bicycle/Bike Repair Rack Stand

I used a Feedback Ultralight stand for many years and was perfectly happy with it. Untill I bought an e-mtb...

The Feedback won't break, but it's not stable with that kind of load. So I sold it and bought a Parktool PRS-25 instead and that really is a stable workstand, even with 23kg's in it.

It's not cheap, but I would definitely recommend it for use with a heavy bike. And it will last for many many years so the price is justified imo.

I bought one of these seven years ago and it is still in A1 condition, despite me also using it as a stand when I'm washing the bikes.

This looks just what i need but before i buy it will it take the weight of an e bike 22kg easily?

The cheap and cheerful ones in Halfords take my Levo quite easily I’m sure the ones Aldi sometimes have on offer are the same too and even cheaper

Bike stand is not a problem, but how you lift 20kg plus bike, hold it with one hand until you clamp it in to the setpost.(only good option for Levo)
That is really pain in the ass for me, with no upper body strength, already hurt my wrist doing that.

It takes my 20.4kg easily, but I wouldn't want to be levering away at a bottom bracket on it. Mind you I don't do that on my grandson's 11kg bike either.

I have one from Halfords which does the job . As it is normally in the same position in my garage, I fixed a hook to the wall behind it and use 3 bungees from the hook, round the stem of the stand and back onto the hook, loosely fitted, so that it can’t fall forward. If you want to move it elsewhere, just remove the bungees.

Hi Guy and Gals , if you are looking for a custom bike stand we are developing a crankstand for ebikes with hollow cranks. Please check out our page on Facebook and Instagram our crankstands are neat and portable. Fjmcustombikestands. I would like to develop our current models see pics below to fit ebikes. I know we can make one to fit a Levo with the praxis cranks. Also would like feedback on the types of cranks on ebikes.
