Not an April Fool's joke.

I'd like to get the wife a FS bike, but, as it will be towing a Thule Chariot, she would like a kickstand. We want our cake and to eat it too.

The bike will likely be a Neuron:On 5.0 2019.

My question is, are there any Bike Shop/mechanically oriented folks who can say from experience, it's possible to get a kickstand onto this bike...?

I'm hoping we can add an adapter to the rear axle that has screw holes (so to speak) where a kickstand can be attached. Something like this.... for FS.

My wife's Focus Thron² EQP came with kickstand, mudguards, panier rack and lights as standard.

IMO a kick stand on any bike used off road or on rough terrain should be rear facing when not in use (like on the Focus) to avoid catching on anything, could lead to a nasty off if using a forward facing one and it catches on something.

I've not seen one that goes any other way.

I like this idea. I have an old Iron Horse Maverick 4.5 which doesn't have an attachment point and the rear dropout point won't work because it's a QR axle which I don't want to change and the lower set of frame bars that go between the dropouts and the bottom bracket tube are too high off the ground for any that I've seen available anywhere. How does this one stow while riding? Does it tuck up against the inside surface of the crank arm?
