Kickstand advice needed

[PRed]

Hi,

I'm new to the forum and need advice please (apologies in advance if I use the wrong terms, I'm new to mountain biking as well!).

I just recently got a Forme Lathkill FSE and need a kickstand for it. I cant seem to find one as the bike doesn't have pre-drilled holes for a standard kickstand. Also, the ones I've found that fit on the rear swing arm doesnt seem to be able to hold the weight of the ebike. Any help will be appreciated.

Hebie has some kick stands. AX - Hebie. Since 1868 made in Bielefeld, Germany.

Thanks @Sander23. I emailed Forme and they advised against using a kickstand due to weight of the bike although I have seen many ebikes with kickstands so tbh I'm a bit confused now.

I have this one on my bike and it works fine.

Take a break whenever you like. The 500 chainstay stand is easy to mount and easy to use, letting you stop anywhere.

thas bs! I have one on mine to. I had that hebie kickstand and worked fine. My bike is 27 kg! Unfortunately I had to replace it due an accident with the bike.
Now I have a small adapter from xlc where I can mount any kickstand.

I thought the same...thinking that they didnt consider it when making the bike and now using it as an excuse! Thanks for the advice.
