Where do you hang the 30ish kilos Ebike on the repair stand?

[Karm]

Interesting about which is the safest way to hang a super heavy ebike 24/7 without causing damage. Hanging on a seatpost seems not so stable for 30 kilos.

If the frame is carbon I wouldn't use it as a mounting point.

Carbon is off the chart. That thing doesn't increase speed at all.

The Seatpost and Toptube are the best bets depending on the frame geometry.

I generally use the Toptube in a Feedback Sports stand since the dropper post is not as strong... you can also use a center stand if you have a hollow crank spindle.

Not sure about that Feedback stand. The high limit of it is just around 30 kilos. It can fall easily with a bunch of torque applied. I'm using a Automotech and some chains for bikes just so you know. If I need a real one, I might go with Parktool PRS

I clamp the seatpost but depending on what bike I'm working on the top tube also works. I just find that the seatpost location is the most stable point of contact as the clamps are designed to fit snugly around most of them.

Park Tool stands are constructed of steel tubing with sturdy weight carrying capacities of up to 80 lbs which is ideal for e-bikes. I have one of the earlier PCS models which isn’t very compact but since it's used specifically for home use, I’m fine with it.

Here are the correct weight limits for the bike repair stands... the red line all have a tripod base capable of supporting 85 lbs.

I almost pulled the trigger on a Feedback but the sale price on the Park was too good to pass up. The Sprint is an interesting stand in that you can spin the bike around without having to move. As with all of their stands, portability has been a great selling point.

I pull out the battery and remove the seatpost on my 60 lb Espin Sport. Probably ends up close to 50lbs and my Yahteech 75 dollar stand gets hooked right to the top tube no problem.

85lbs is 38kg. It doesn't look stable enough for a heavy e-bike. Another 8kg down force can easily drop the stand.
At least Parktool has 100 lbs/45kg. New Super B stand has 50kg.

I have a Feedback stand and for light repair/chain lubing I just hook the nose of the saddle in between the wide open jaws. Otherwise I use the seatpost for more aggressive repair work. My steel drop bar bike has a dropper post so I am forced to use the top tube for it.

watch out for the park folding stands both of the ones I have ten to start slipping and will dump your bike if you leave it in the stand. I drill a hole right above the clamp and put a rod in there.
