"The invention of the rear-mounted kickstand was a super-helpful development for riders. Not only are they good for parking a bike, they are handy for washing your e-bike and especially helpful when applying lube to the chain because it doesn't prevent the pedals from being turned backward. But when it comes to other maintenance duties such as gear adjustments or brake bleeds, a proper repair stand is a necessity, and there are several options to consider hen looking for the best e-bike repair stand."
"Until recently, there weren't many repair stands that could handle an e-bike. Most were made for traditional road and mountain bikes that weigh less than 30 lbs. In the last couple of years some of the top companies producing tools for pro and home mechanics alike have begun introducing stands sturdy enough to make working on your e-bike a cinch."
Rear-mounted kickstands simplify parking, washing, and chain lubrication by allowing backward pedal rotation, but they are inadequate for tasks like gear adjustments and brake bleeding. Traditional repair stands were too lightweight for most e-bikes, but recent toolmakers have produced sturdier stands capable of supporting heavier electric bicycles. Important repair-stand features include high weight capacity, stability, compact folding for storage or transport, and a quick-release, adjustable clamp. The Feedback Sports Pro Mechanic HD holds up to 100 lbs (45 kg), offers a fast, easy-to-use clamp, and folds compactly for storage or travel.
