![]() Pair 65mm heavy duty u bolt exhaust clamps Heavy Duty 400mm (16”) stroke length (from Ebay) £33.24 The PRS-25 is adjustable in height from 114 – 152 cm (45” – 60”) and this adjustable portion seemed right for motorised lifting the e-bike on the basis that I could lift the bike a reasonable height on to the stand and then the motor could do the rest.ġ500N (150 kgs – 340 lbs) Linear Actuator 12V The Park Tool PRS-25 is lightweight stand that can take the weight of an e-bike (max weight 45 kgs (100lbs) and seemed the most appealing for my purpose so one was ordered to replace a cheap Chinese stand that was barely sufficient for my hybrid bike. I wanted a workshop stand that would fold, be easily transportable and not take up much space in the workshop. As a dropper post will be fitted this makes the seat post an even more undesirable lifting point. I do not feel happy about supporting from the seat post as it is not the natural balance point and would put unnecessary strain in the post and the stand so somewhere along the top tube would be better. Firstly, the raising of a heavy e-bike and secondly where on the bike to support it safely. Physically lifting a 35 kgs e-bike high enough to comfortably work on it while simultaneously tightening a clamp is getting near impossible for an older person. The project started as I have a Riese and Muller Superdelite e-bike on order and have had serious concerns about lifting it on to a workshop stand for cleaning and maintenance. I hope this will be of interest to anyone wanting a motorised workshop stand, who can’t afford to pay the extremely high cost of a professional stand and has a reasonable amount of basic DIY skills.
