The Bikonic Gas Stand
Doing all the heavy lifting — gas-spring assisted bicycle maintenance stand
Why Do You Need the Bikonic Gas Stand?
- Do you work on ebikes?
- Does your back hurt when you lift the bike into a workstand?
- Do you think an electric bicycle workstand is too expensive?
What is it?
A new alternative to an electric bike workstand. Designed to lift heavier bikes like ebikes, commuters and mountain bikes. With the Bikonic gas-stand you no longer lift your bike into a workstand - instead the bike is clamped into the stand with its wheels firmly on the floor and the gas-spring does the heavy lifting. Just like an electric maintenance stand but at a fraction of the cost.
Patent pending.

How does a Bikonic gas-stand help?
This workshop-quality stand helps to keep your spine healthy - that's a very cool USP for a bicycle workstand. Lifting a heavy bike like a mountain bike or an eBike puts a huge strain on your back muscles and spine. This is made worse by the juggling act you perform while resting the bike on your chest to clamp the bike into the stand with your free hand. Our stand removes both the 'lifting' and the 'juggling' strain. With the Bikonic stand the bike is clamped into the stand while still on the ground, the gas spring then lifts it up to your preferred working height. The gas spring takes most of the weight - like lifting the tailgate of your car - and the bike feels practically weightless as you move it up and down. The idea is to use physics to help you lift and lower the bike instead of expensive electric motors. (..and yes, it works beautifully with fly-weight road bikes, too).
(you don't pick the bike up at all. There you go - need we say more?) Oh, OK then....
Benefits
Solid-steel levers, passivated silver-gold finish
Big, solid-steel levers and controls, finished in a passivated silver-gold for maximum corrosion resistance, perfectly complement the stand's 'over-engineered' look and feel.
Hammered powder-coat for durability
The hammered powder-coat is beautiful to look at, but it was chosen because it will stand the test of time. This stand is built to last.
Gas-spring lift, fully rebuildable
Designed specifically as an e-bike maintenance stand, it is a premium piece of workshop equipment with a patent-pending lifting mechanism.
Gas-Spring vs Electric
- Cost - a quarter of the price
- Manoeuvrability
- Compact footprint
- Reliable
- Durable (but fully rebuildable too)
- Simpler with less to go wrong
Premium Quality, Fair Price
£625 + VAT
Not compared to an electric workstand. Even though this stand was designed for pros working in bike shops, we were determined not to price it out of reach of the home mechanic — just above the price of a static workstand, at a quarter of the price of a typical electric bicycle maintenance stand.

Advantages over electric stands
- It's manoeuvrable, either by lifting it or by rolling it on the roller-wheel mounted in the base
- It has foldable legs, for easy storage. You can even dismount the clamp if you're really pushed for space
- It's very compact, with the same foot-print as an ordinary workstand
- Alternatively you can order the stand in a floor-mounted configuration to bolt directly to the floor
- You can also order a heavy steel floor-plate to add to the floor-mounted stand if you don't want to bolt it permanently to the floor
