6 My bad back makes it unsafe to lift my heavy ebike onto a workstand. Is there a way to get a heavy ebike in a work stand with the wheels off the ground and without lifting the bike. Would the following strategy work in practice? Roll the bike onto a dolly. Clamp the bike onto the stand while the bike is supported by the dolly. Remove the dolly. Now the wheels are slightly raised off the floor Update: I am willing to spend several hundred dollars at most, ideally much less. This puts motorized workstands out of reach ☹️. I don't own my place, so I can't install anything to the ceiling for a pulley system. My bike is a Bulls Evo TR 2 Speed in size 48. maintenancerepairelectric-bikerepair-stand Share Improve this question Follow edited 6 hours ago Criggie♦ 131k1515 gold badges194194 silver badges452452 bronze badges asked yesterday PeachyPeachy 67711 silver badge1515 bronze badges 5 1 Can you lighten the bike by removing the battery? – Criggie ♦ Commented yesterday 2 @Criggie alas, the bike is still very heavy without the battery – Peachy Commented yesterday 1 There are electric-lift workstands for exactly this situation. – Adam Rice Commented 23 hours ago @Peachy would the building owner see a bike workspace as a long-term benefit? Are there other occupants who could use a shared space for working on their bikes ? Nothing ventured, nothing gained. – Criggie ♦ Commented 13 hours ago In some countries such a ceiling lift mounting point might even fall under accessibility laws, making it necessary for the owner to allow reasonable installations. – jpa Commented 7 hours ago Add a comment  |
