Lubing an eBike chain

[Chazmo]

Hello everyone,

I have a Cannondale Montera Neo 3 mnt ebike and am experiencing a problem's lubing the chain.
I cannot find a bike stand to fit the conformation of the rear triangle (and hold up the back wheel) that would make turning the pedal possible.
Anyone else had this problem and do you know of any solutions?
I need something that I can use on my own as I don’t have an assistant.

Kind thanks
Rowena

Rowena, can you get a kickstand? For a heavy bike, you’ll be glad to have one.

edit: oh, sorry, I didn’t realize this thread was over a year old. tallyho.

My Himiway Cobra Pro with BaFang M620 mid-drive doesn't rotate the chain backwards when I need to clean/lube. I do the lean the +98lbs ebike on the kick stand to raise the rear tire, rotate pedals forward to clean/lube the chain.

I have a Cobra Pro as well and I hang my bike from the rafters in my garage using ratchet straps. Works well, that way I can rotate the tires freely for whatever I'm working on.

I've even looked into motor cycle lift stands to see if that might work for my Cobra Pro or Rad Rovers. Just haven't research deep enough to figure out center lift or front or rear wheel lift could work on either ebike. Cleaning the chain on the ground and flipping upside down for tire/brake work seems to be my 99% solution for now.
