Maintenance stand for emtb

I have a Park Tool stand in the garage for most service work, but I recently purchased this “Tune-Up Station” by Topeak for travel. It’s compact and lightweight and provides storage for a charger and tools in the base. You can adjust the height to hold the rear wheel off the ground and turn the cranks. Rated to over 70 lbs and holds my 50lb ebike stable. Seems perfect for condo/apartment use.

Does the design of this TopPeak assembling rack get in the way when you need to access the rear derailleur, cassette or – if it’s fitted in reverse – the brake system? Because it’s attached to the rear swingarm, or rather because it clamps onto the swingarm, the frame would be in my way... I see the advantage of the Dragonworks in the completely unobstructed access to the components.

@Shamanic - you can position the stand at several places among the chainstays and seatstays. No clamping, it just rests on the clips whose positions can be independently adjusted. It shouldn’t cause any access issues. Here’s a pic that may help you see how the bike is supported -
