Question about maintenance stands for heavy e-bikes

[pagheca]

I’m looking to buy a maintenance stand for my e-bike, ideally staying under €100 (less if possible). I’ve found quite a few options, but I can’t quite understand the practical side of using them : the issue is lifting the bike and getting it into the clamp.

My e-bike is quite heavy. If I will mp it first and then try to raise it, it seems extremely difficult and potentially dangerous, unless you go for motorized stands, which are far too expensive. On the other hand, if I will raise the stand first and then try to mount the bike, it also looks hard to manage alone.

So I’m wondering where I’m going wrong. Are there stands with a simple crank mechanism to raise the bike once it’s already secured? I can’t seem to find any, yet it feels like the most straightforward solution. Maybe I do not understand how they work.

Looks pretty much perfect, I especially like that you can use a drill to lift/lower.

Alleluja... that's EXACTLY the design I had in my mind. It's SO easy to imagine this solution! I am really surprised this is not the most common design.

Unfortunately... it doesn't deliver here. But I will try to contact the company.

One question: do you see the price on amazon.com? I don't.

I have a heavy Cube Katmandu, I just take the battery off and if I'm not working on the wheels take them off as well and then use a any bike stand.

The price here is USD255.

Cool, do have any impressions or comments about it? Seems like a cool idea at a decent price.

Not too much, considering that it looks like a proper design manufactured using good material. I found something similar on Alibaba but I'm not convinced about it.

Thanks again for your help. Apparently is one of a kind. I have to find out a way to get it directly from the manufacturer, except the name of the company ("Cyclists"??? ) is so generic I can't find it over the internet. I found that it is based in Taiwan (not unexpectedly...).

POSTEDIT: got it: Professional Bicycle Tools Manufacturer | CYCLISTSTOOL. I contacted their sales dept...
