I've had my Aventure Step-Thru for a while now and have upwards of 500 miles on it and have thoroughly enjoyed it. Does anyone who owns the Step-Thru Aventure have or recommend a bike repair stand that can support this?
I don’t have the Aventure, but have the Pace 500.
After doing some due diligence, I settled on the Feedback Sports Ultralight.
It‘s a little expensive, but has a few nice features, including:
-Can support heavy ebikes. Max load is 85lbs, which should handle your Aventure, and definitely my 52 lb Pace
-Well built with metal parts. Should last over time
-Tripod base (many stands only have 2 ”feet”). Nice and stable.
-No assembly
-Lightweight to carry and compresses quickly into something I can conveniently store away
-Easy height adjustment
-Can rotate bike 360 degrees (not sure why I would though)
-Very easy sliding clamp mechanism. I felt this was important as I didn’t want to fiddle faddle with a clamp while lifting a heavy bike.
Here is my bike getting a little cleanup, maintenance and lube this afternoon:
Note that I removed the battery before servicing to lighten the lift. The clamp is rubber so as to protect the bike‘s paint, but I wrapped a small towel around my crossbar anyway.
My biggest concern was getting the bike onto it, as my back is a little tricky and I avoid heavy lifting whenever I can. I found it easy, however, to just lift the battery-less bike onto the clamp at its lowest setting, and then upadjust the mount arm a foot or so once it was secured.
