Ebike stands?

[Rob Rides EMTB]

Well folks,

I took the plunge and purchased this and got it delivered from Italy. I do have a proper ‘bike service stand’ very similar to the Feedback stand but for me, as this stand lifts both wheels off the ground and they way I am used to washing and servicing my analogue bikes this is a much better option for me.

The plate underneath the motor is padded and also adjustable up and down. The point that connects to the downtube is also padded so it is a well thought out design.

Mounting the bike was tricky the first time as you need to line everything up but now it is ‘adjusted’ to suit my bike which took a few minutes it can be mounted and unmounted in seconds.

Really interesting product. Can you put a review in the review section?

Not

This part just presses on the crank bolt?

Yes, that is correct.

Not sure what ebike you have?

On my Levo there is a 6mm hole that goes right the way through the middle of the crank bolt. The crank is also hollow so the bit you are showing inserts all the way through the crank bolt hole and into the hole in the crank and butts up against the stopper (the disk bit showing in the picture)

I will try to get some time this coming week to do a review. I am currently writing a long winded thread on the Levo/Kenevo post as I have carried out a few upgrades since my purchase off ccrdave which may get a few interesting comments back.....

I don't have a Levo but it's a Brose motor too. Are you saying that the crank bolts are completely hollow? Mine are not and I was thinking about drilling them...

That is not going to be an easy task to do especially if the bolt is hardened, been there tried that and it took absolute ages and killed 3 drill bits ?

You will be please to know that you can buy a bolt with a 6mm hole pre drilled through it off Ebay or any Internet seller. You only need one for the left hand side. What cranks are on you bike?

I have Miranda Delta cranks. I searched (poorly apparently) for bolts with a hole but couldn't find any. Will try harder Thanks

Hi, I had a look at the Miranda delta cranks. Can you check if the bolt that attaches to the ISIS fitting has a 15mm diameter? Also if the head of the bolts diameter is 22mm then what is pictured below is what you will need. It has a 7mm hole and is also self extracting as well ?

 

[eFat]

Yes, it's 15 and 22mm. Not sure about the length, I have the impression my bolts are longer, there is about 18mm of M15 thread.

I was thinking of making a stand to support the underside of the chain stays on my bike then low & behold what pops up on embn.......
(Nice tip on using walk mode for chain cleaning! 13:30ish)

 

[The Berminator]

I use my old cheap Halfords stand and clamp it onto one of the handlebar grips. The bike Levo then will support itself while I get an axle stand and put it under the motor. Bingo, rear wheel is off the ground.

I used a good old fashioned Park shop stand.... it's pretty flexible and practical, folds pretty flat, and allows you to move the bike around. I've had it so long that I used to use it on the top bar of the frame.... I guess I don't have a picture of it with my ebike in it....

Here is the link for the modern version of my stand... PCS-4-1 Deluxe Home Mechanic Repair Stand

Check out the video link... it does stuff I didn't know it did and I've had it for 15 years.

walk mode is awesome for lot's of cools stuff, not just cleaning but when you throw your chain, pull it in a couple rings, shift up, and then lift and press walk mode... bam... back in business

care to share? Am looking for a stand myself and a nice compact one would fit the bill.

 

[steve160]

Well over-engineered but does exactly what I wanted it to do. Quicker and easier than bike work stand when wanting to just wash the bike or oil the chain.

I searched Ibera bike stand on eBay , but only available in US by the looks of it

 

[Tubby G]

I have a couple of these and they’re nice & sturdy and easy to rotate the cranks for cleaning / lubing etc:

Rear fork stand "Stilo" - Ideal to be used like display stand

Due to the 2 adjustable hooks, it is suitable for every type of rear fork and wheel diameter, do not interfere whit wheel spokes

Currently around £23 on Amazon

I have one of those and am very pleased with it.

 

[Pigin]

I got a workstand that I'm very pleased with from Manomano.co.uk. They seem to have a few to choose from.

 

[Kernow]

That Gioma stilo stand looks ok for cleaning etc , £28 on eBay but better than the strap method I think

I have one of these

Not cheap, but works well

Same here. It's simple, takes up minimal space when not being used and just plain works.

Can you still turn the cranks on the stand

 

[Darryl]

Can you still turn the cranks on the stand

Yes. I use mine for whenever I’m cleaning the bike + chain. Very stable.

I had something similar made that mounts to my bike rack, great for lubing the chain after long drives as well as quick adjustments if needed.

Perfect! DIY or commercially available?
