I’m going to divide those looking for a bike repair stand into two distinct groups: weekend and daily mechanics.

I know about the dropper, it may be better to clamp it by the fixed part or by the frame. It was our first time filming with a professional crew and had so much to think about, setup lighting etc so I only thought about it after the video was already shot. Also, I rotated the bike just to unscrew the pedal The PRS-33.2 is single-sided but can be made into a double arm stand, each independently operated, with the addition of the PRS-33.2 AOK Add-On Kit. Can be mounted directly to the floor using the included oversized gussets, or attached to the 135-33 Repair Stand Base (sold separately) for movability. If you are interested in hoisting your ebike for maintenance or repair, here are some of the best ebike stands. When your bike arrives final assembly will be required. Don’t worry we’ve got you covered. Our step by step instructional video can be found here as well as our easy to follow instructions.

We’ve selected four heavy-duty bike stands that are well-suited to being used for an electric bike. We’ve taken into consideration how much weight they can hold, value for money, stability, portability and ease of use.

The ebikes that we show you in this blog are front and rear hub drive electric bike conversions and mid drive electric bike conversions. The Sport Mechanic uses plastic adjusters that might not last as well as the sturdier fittings found on some of the more expensive models. Overall Verdict These stands often include a tool holder. But here the holder comes equipped with an integrated magnetic compartment and a telescopic arm that holds the handlebars in place when you do repairs on the front wheel. Secondly, it has a much higher bike weight limit of 100 lb (45 kg), which means that it will have no problems with even the heaviest of e-bikes and cruisers. Just make sure your workbench can handle that much weight!The easiest way to fix these broken wires or perform regular ebike maintenance is use a stable ebike stand that can handle the weight of a motorized bicycle. Here we repair a 55lb ebike with the best ebike stand Just remember: you won’t be able to take it out on the road with you. And once it’s mounted to your wall or worktop, you won’t be able to move it around your work space. So make sure you have enough room to work around it.

With a delivery price well in excess of what most people are prepared to pay for an entire bicycle repair stand, the Hirobel Carbon Frame Clamp is going to remain pretty rare even among diehard home workshop fettlers. But if you have a fleet of bikes, strange carbon aero shapes, or very short exposed lengths of seatpost, this may well be the workstand accessory you've been looking for all these years. It will save you a load of floor space. And even better, they’re usually more stable and much cheaper than their floor standing cousins! The removable magnetic tool tray is particularly convenient. You can always separate and fold it for easy storage and transport. It can be a pain to perform even the simplest ebike maintenance if you need to kneel or lay on the ground to work on your bike. Well-featured throughout, the lever on the main clamp is particularly nice, spinning to tighten before finishing with a cam-style flip to allow for easy attachment of the bicycle. Once mounted into the stand, retention of the bike is relatively solid, as is the stability provided by the three mid-length legs.

LifeLine Essential Mini-Maintenance Stand

John has been writing about bikes and cycling for over 30 years since discovering that people were mug enough to pay him for it rather than expecting him to do an honest day's work. The disadvantages are pretty obvious. The stand will not be able to support more than 15 kilograms. It will not hold the bike's frame, so you won't be able to access and repair certain parts. The rubber paddings will protect your bike's paint, all while keeping your favourite vehicle nice and steady.

Last but not least, the usual non-skid feet come fitted with holes for screws, meaning you'll be able to definitely secure the stand to any surface. The only issue is that you'll have to occasionally re-tighten the screws. Combine this with the difficulty of clamping increasingly thinner-walled and strangely shaped hydroformed alloy tubing or complex 3D carbon layups, and what's an honest fettler to do? Enter the Hirobel Carbon Frame Clamp.

Feedback Sports Sprint Bicycle Repair Workstand

We’ve got a separate guide to electric bike types, but you can find almost any kind of bike with a motor. While most workstands will accommodate most bikes, owners of carbon fibre bikes should shop carefully for one that will lift a bike clamped by the seatpost to working height, or use a race-style repair stand. Seeing as there are some constructive comments under this article I will try to answer some concerns and questions. There have been several times when working on an ebike that we needed to run the motor on the stand to fully diagnose and fix the ebike. Likewise, stands like the IceToolz or even the Topeak Flash Stand are half way houses that are going to be frustrating to use and will ultimately be replaced by a proper stand!
