Need Stand

[Johng1010]

Hi All
I have recently purchased a Prorider E-Wayfarer folding bike
http://www.proriderleisure.com/leisure/electric-bikes/e-wayfarer-electric-folding-bike-red.html
I would like to get a maintenance stand (hope that is correct name) for this

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Hi John,

Welcome to the forum.

From time to time Lidl sell reasonable workstands for £30, it's identical to this one from Decathalon http://www.decathlon.co.uk/one-workshop-stand-id_8309301.html

Because of the extra weight of electric bikes you need a sturdy one with good strong clamps.

The design of the frame is going to make using a work stand awkward.

I don't think the stand clamp will grip the main part of the frame.

The clamp, turned vertical, might grip the seat post.

You would certainly need the battery out, and it could be there is a battery mounting rail welded to the seat post which might hinder the grip of the stand's clamp.

One of these would solve the problem of clamping the frame.

I don't bother with a stand, I put Mountain bike horns on the handle bars (I'm sure they have a correct name) - the ones that stick forwards. adjust them up so when the bike is put upside down it rests on these and the seat. Flip the bike the correct way up and just keep flipping it over as required. Occasionally if required I suspend the bike from the roof of my shed with a rope, but a stand - you have to store that and it takes space as well as money!!

Try managing without a stand Johng1010, you'd be surprised at how much of a good workout you get!

I have hooks on chains screwed into my garage joist/crossbeam. One hook holds onto the handlebars about the centrepost, the other hooks onto the back of the saddle. Adjust the length to suit your needs. They can be lifted up on themselves when not wanted

Hi
Quite like this idea
Can you find the correct name?
Do you have a picture of them?

Thanks

 

[Wicky]

Like these handle bar ends...

 

[JamesW]

That's them wicky!

Wicky - I don't want to hijack the thread but can I ask which seat post you have fitted to your eRaceP and also how do you like it? My bike's the estyleP so the same one would would probably fit and I could do with a bit more cushioning for my back end!

Jim,

This thread has some good pointers to seat posts in it:
http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/winter-riding.18990/

I just ordered a new one from Germany today with suspension in it based on d8veh's recommendations.

Jim - http://www.rosebikes.co.uk/product/detail/aid:614120

Makes quite a diffrence esp on the bumpy roads. Easy to fit and swap saddles - just a couple of bolts to undo. I was lucky as I had a 10% off voucher so effectively free P&P.

James & Wicky,

Thank you both. Maybe Santa will oblige.

I've just purchased and used this stand for the first time...

http://oypla.com/sports-leisure/cycling/home-mechanic-folding-bicycle-bike-repair-stand

It's rated to carry 30kg and it coped with my KTM eLycan fine. It seems like a very well made stand and incredibly good value for £30 delivered!

Hi

Thanks

Hi
Not quite sure what this does
Is the idea to clamp this onto seat and handlebar stems to create a crossbar?

Thanks
