E bikes stands

[spurty30]

Hey guys , what stand do you use to do work on your E bikes? I have a workshop stand but it can't cope with the weight (24 kgs) . I've tried taking the battery out but due to the sloping top tube on my cube stereo the front wheel sags till it touches the ground. Seen some pics of stands that go under the motor etc(like my old mx bike stand , that I now wish I still had).
What's everyone use?
Cheers

I found the workstand a bit of a ball ache to keep setting up + taking down. Made up a wooden triangle and mounted that to a wooden shelving unit. Bike then hangs from the saddle. Front wheel touches the ground but its hardly a problem unless trying to true discs etc. Then just put the bike upside down on the floor instead.

It's a shame it won't fit, because it looks a nice bit of kit.

Can't you attach it to the handlebars right next to the stem?

You'd think this might work, but just about any time I've tried to suspend the bike on the handlebar to either side of the stem, the bike leans annoyingly. One other option if you're in a building or on a patio with something overhead that you can attach a strap to, you hook around the stem and suspend the front of the bike off the floor/ground when you need it totally suspended...of course with the back end suspended in a bike stand or such.

However, if the fake top tube bar allows you to lock the bar so it doesn't rotate, then clamping to the handlebar either side of the stem might indeed work...locked at the handlebar and locked at the seatpost. Not sure...haven't tried that.

II tried that but the whole bar was then through 90 degrees and the seat post end wouldn't fit. The two ends would not rotate with respect to each other. I didn't try to force it because I wanted to take it back for a refund and didn't want any scratches on it.

You enablers got me thinking that I needed a Feedback Sports Pro HD stand, so I ordered one last night. They're not cheap. It costs five times what I paid for my Bike Hand. As the evening progressed, I started wondering if the Feedback is five times better than my existing stand. Eventually I came to my senses and cancelled the order.

Hi, a newbie here with a recently acquired 2019 Haibike FullSeven LT3.0. I made a simple wood floor stand from scrap wood so that I can service the chain/drivetrain. Not a complete solution since I discovered that the Yamaha mid-drive motor cover does not sit stable enough. I have to use a wheel stand to keep the bike upright. The wheelstand came with the bike, so it's free so far.

are there any companies in the UK that make the stands that the BB sits on? While I have a decent Park Tools stand that can handle the weight I’m looking for something a bit smaller and portable for chucking in the van.

I'm also using two very expensive bits of wood

Now that’s very clever, practical, efficient etc. is this suitable for all-weather use? And why use exotic and rare wood? Plans, hardware used?

Dragonworks MX bikestand firm a Czech company - highly recommended.

You should be using a false cross bar with a carbon frame. Halfords sell them for £20

I use one with my cheap Amazon stand and it lifts the bike okay.
The park tool will be a lot better, but it's also a lot more expensive.

Baught one of those then found I couldn’t use it because of the cable routing into the headset. Also the gap between headset and bars was too small.

I've been using one on my Cube stereo with headset cable routing with no issues, admitted since lowering the stack height I can no longer close the clasp on the bar but I just placed a rag around the stem to protect the cables.

I only use it to hold the bike in the work stand though, never for actually transporting the bike.

I only wanted to use it in the workstand but there wasn’t enough space in the head stack,, the cables also didn’t help. I bought it from Halfords so don’t know if mine is particularly thick. If the clamp ends revolved I could put it around the handlebar.
