A bike stand provides stability, keeping the bike upright for easy storage, repairs, or loading. It prevents damage to the frame or components and offers convenience for maintenance, parking, or quick access without leaning the bike against surfaces.
Electric Bike Stands & Mounts
Bicycle stands are pivotal for convenience and bike care, they offer stable support, safeguarding bikes from damage and falls.
These prop-stands and mounts facilitate effortless parking in diverse settings, from urban areas to trails, ensuring bikes remain upright, preventing scratches and falls. They encourage organised storage, optimising space and allowing easy access for maintenance or quick getaways.
Side stands offer a surprisingly big boost to convenience on electric bikes, especially considering the extra weight most e-bikes carry. A sturdy kickstand makes it easy to park your bike wherever you happen to beāwhether youāre stopping for a coffee, unlocking a gate, or loading up your panniers for the commute home. Instead of hunting for a wall or rail to lean against, you can simply flick the stand down and the bike stays upright and stable. This is particularly helpful on e-bikes fitted with racks, child seats, or batteries mounted high on the frame, where balance can otherwise be a bit more challenging.
Varied designs cater to different needsāportable, wall-mounted, or floor stands, providing flexibility in usage. Sturdy materials and adjustable features accommodate various bike sizes and styles, enhancing their versatility. Bicycle stands aren't just about parking; they're a foundational accessory promoting bike longevity, ease of use, and the seamless integration of cycling into daily life.
Theyāre also a real asset when it comes to everyday practicality. A good side stand keeps the bike secure during charging, cleaning, or minor adjustments, so youāre not wrestling to keep it upright while working on it. Many e-bike-specific stands are reinforced to handle the extra weight and offer adjustable height settings, ensuring a solid lean angle on different surfaces. For riders who treat their e-bike as a daily toolācommuting, shopping, or running errandsāa reliable kickstand simply makes life easier and reduces the risk of accidental tip-overs or damage.
Whether or not your bike needs a mount to attach a stand will depend on the type of stand being used and what allowances the manufacturer of the bike when during the design of the bike. As a general rule, most our of Haibike models use one of two stands across all models and have a different mount to attach them to each bike. Cube however, on bikes designed to accept a stand, mostly use the same stand mounting. This is the same for the Orbea Vibe, for example, which regardless of model, uses the same stand which fits a "designed in" mounting point.
The amount of weight a bike stand can handle depends on several factors but largely comes down simply to the design and materials used. As a general rule of thumb, most stands will tolerate the weight of the bike plus the maximum luggage capacity of any factory fitted rack. In most cases, this would be about 50kg (combined).
Most e-bikes benefit from a sturdier, e-bike-specific side stand. Because e-bikes tend to be heavier than standard bikes, a reinforced kickstand helps keep the bike stable when parked.
Not always. Side stands come in different mounting typesāchainstay, seatstay, or center-mountāso youāll need one that matches your frame design. Many e-bikes also use proprietary mounts, so checking compatibility is important.
When properly fitted, a kickstand wonāt affect your ride. Modern stands fold neatly away and are designed not to interfere with pedalling, cornering, or the rear wheel.
Absolutely. Quality e-bike stands are built from robust alloys and designed for everyday use. Theyāre made to support heavier e-bike frames, even when carrying luggage or shopping.
Yes, but opt for a reinforced stand if you regularly load up with panniers. These stands offer better weight distribution and reduce the risk of the bike tipping.
Many full-suspension frames donāt have standard mounting points, but there are aftermarket options designed specifically for them. Itās worth choosing a stand made for your model or asking us for advice.
A well-designed stand wonāt damage your frame. Many come with protective rubber inserts or shaped mounts that spread load evenly. Proper installation is key to avoiding marks or pressure points.
