Custom EMTB stand

[EMTB Rider]

I custom made this yesterday out of heavy wall steel tubing for my Trek Rail when it arrives in a few weeks. It will allow me to rotate the pedals while the back tire is off the ground to oil the chain and adjust the gears

Hey, how did you get that to work?
Are your cranks hollow?

I wanted to get the Feedback Sports Scorpion for my Powerfly FS 7 2019 - but when I check, it seems my cranks have bolts on both sides.

Did you have to remove bolts from either crank on your Rail in order to fit your stand?
Thanks in advance!

It didn't work out for the rail. I made it before it arrived

Oh, okay, thanks so much!
But in the photo - which bike is that? An e-bike?

Hey, appreciate it!

I am not sure this will fit any ebikes as the cranks aren't hollow they're now full of an electric motor.

Certainly won't fit Spesh bikes with the Brose motor

The Bosch gen4 motor spindle is hollow but the crank bolts are not.

So I found a portable stand that works for my Trek Powerfly.
It's the Ibera Bike Stand (chainstay stand - purchased from Amazon).
Need to be careful, but stable to enough to rotate pedals (forward) and lubricate the chain, clean bike, ...
