Pedego Interceptor DOUBLE leg kickstand rec's

[mandy landry]

I detest the stock kickstand option for my Interceptor. I bought an Ursus "jumbo," which rubbed against the chain when up/not in use. I am only looking for double recommendations. I'd love one that isn't gigantic! My major issues with the stock option is that it's unreliable, wobbly at times, and I don't like it in the way of the pedals. Thank you so much!

I searched in vain for a double leg stand for my Interceptor. If you do find one, please post a link. I've found on other bikes, that double leg stands work well on fairly level ground but I ride mostly trails with irregular surfaces. For trails, I much prefer a single leg stand.

The problem with the OEM kickstand on the Pedego Interceptor is, the ground contact point is too far forward. This makes it unstable, especially with weight on the rear rack. I solved the problem on my Interceptor by adding a shim:

This moves the ground contact point about 5" to the rear, making the bike much more stable

This solved the instability issue for me, even with 30# of gear on the rear rack.

The shim is made from a piece of 1" x 1/8" thick aluminum angle, available at Home Depot:

I used a screw to hold the shim in place but a metal rated epoxy works just as well.

This is a double leg kickstand where the legs fold up on one side and don't interfere with the chain.

I've got one on my first ebike (~80 pounds), and it's worked fine.
