Work stand for eMTB - heavy man!

[Dog Star]

I am sick of bending over, kneeling on the freezing floor etc etc to maintain my eMTB.

Can anyone recommend a very sturdy work stand - got to be able to take a bike in the 20-25kg range without real risk of it going over.

The Park Tools one look like they're pretty strong - anyone use one for an ebike?

I use a cheap Amazon one to work on our e bikes. Similar to the ones regularly sold by Aldi/Lidl.

As long as you remove the battery the weight won’t be excessive. Ours have all sorts of commuting gubbins attached too.

I bought this one six months ago and it’s been perfect I was not expecting it to be up to much but it’s great https://oypla.com/sports-leisure/outdoor-sports/ho...

I have Park Tools PCS-10. Although, I don’t use it for an ebike (I have a self-powered 650b MTB), I am absolutely certain that you will have no trouble with it for what you need. If memory serves, I think they are rated up to 35kg. They’re not cheap but it really a case of you get what you pay for and I wouldn’t be without it.

Another shout for the Park Tools PCS-10. Holds my eBike and is very stable.

I can also recommend the Park PCS 9, it's £50 cheaper than the 10, with the only noticeable difference being you might have to turn the handle on the clamp 3 or even 4 times, rather than flipping over the lever on the 10, which may or may not need doing 2/3 times to make sure it's right

I have seen guys using this to attach on the seat-post and handlebars then the stand clamping to the false crossbar.
Saves clamping to the carbon frame.

I just clamp the bike seat-post to the work-stand, so no need for that really. Handy idea, though.

I have an electric winch fitted to the roof joists of my garage. I wrap a strap around the bike frame at the point of centre of gravity and winch it up so the part in working on is at head height.

I've just bought the £90 Sportneer from Amazon, I watched this https://youtu.be/5KPbDeZpJBQ and decided on it. It's very good holds my Giant Trance easily, just cleaned the chain and lubed it. Nice piece of kit in my opinion.
