I just bought these after watching this video, they work awesome. Mine has improved velcro straps instead of the rubber bands. I couldn't be happier with them and highly recommend this product. Made taking off my rear wheel off a breeze.
I use two 99-cent spring clamps from my workshop. Clamp 'em on the handlebars and turn 'em upside down with the bike. Works perfectly... very small and very light. I keep 'em in my rack bag.. Thery do the same thing as these very expensive doohickies.
You just need 2 pieces of pipe insulation sponge cut to size and cut down long edge. press onto handlebar or grips. Can also be stored in your bag or just pressed onto any part of your frame while not in use. Find some off cuts in a builders dumpster or friend/neighbour etc. if you dont wanna buy new.
The other thing this could include is a rolled up mat that could be placed under your seat. This would help protect the seat from scratches caused by turning the bike upside-down on gravel, concrete or asphalt. The mat could be rolled around the tripods when they are connected for storage. A velcro strap could be added to help keep everything grouped nicely in your gear bag.
How safe is it to replace built-in electric bike battery? Can it cause electric shock? Should bike be completely discharged first? Another question is folding a bike (which disconnect controller from battery) reduces chance of battery fire?
Literally 2 minute job, If you have the ergonomic flat palm handle bar grips twist them so they point upwards upper most and use either allen key or philips type screw driver to lower your instument display tucking it out the way, as you flip your bike upside down, it gives you loads of clearence, works great on my Engwe E26. cost Nowt!
watched your video on tire flats and flat out being the winner. Thanks for this as I got stranded in the middle of nowhere with a rear flat. I managed to get back with my air pump. I know I was lucky to make it back! I will be watching all your videos as you really show so much information about bikes Just the best reviewer and I Thank you for all your energy doing this Sheila Vancouver BC Canada
I just bought and use a "handlebar extender" for this. It's offset by a few inches from the main handlebar, so when I turn my bike over the extender makes all the contact with the ground, and nothing on the main handlebar touches the ground at all. These extenders cost something like US$10-20 depending on size and material. You can even remove it from the original handlebar when you wish if you don't want it on there all the time...just install it when you're working on your bike. I bought a fairly long extender bar so the bike is less likely to tip over. If I leave it mounted all the time, it's great for unexpected repairs on the road... However, the temptation may be there to just put more accessories on the extender handlebar...but of course that then defeats the purpose of buying it to support the bike during repairs.
Thanks for the review. Wife and I recently purchased e-bikes (love em) and on a recent ride got a small thorn. Fortunately, made it home without noticing until the next day. I woke up this morning realizing that I do not want to turn this new brute over on the side of the road with all the "very important" stuff on the handlebars. Plus the grips are a beautiful brown leather. So, half awake, I started thinking of inventing something to support the handlebars. After coffee, I decided I better check and see if someone else already thought about this (typically true). This is much better then my pre-coffee invention.
Cool gadget i like the compact feature. I've been using heavy duty 2" spring clamps from harbor freight to do the same thing. The bike sits 31/2" of the ground I clamp them on handlebar grips and flip bike over.
I bought one of these handlebar jack stands when I bought my bike from Ariel Rider Kepler. I've recently had to use them after getting a rear tire flat. It worked brilliantly
bike flat for me are a thing from the past , over ten years past i'd say => "Stop Flats" i use two in each tire and reach way over each side , i have removed everything from my tire metal screws , electrical cable tacks ,nails , thorns but never since had a punctured inner tube . this jack is very ingenious as are the stop flats liner , cheers & hope spring will be here asap
I have a idea but haven't tried it yet. Super-sized pool noodle that you cut two sections off and slit up the middle. You slide one on each hand grip for upside-down emergencies and the slit allows you to stowe them on your frame when not being used but could serve the purpose of bump guards like old bmx pads. What do you think?
I just bought that tool. It's the same brand and everything, but mine does not have the rubber bands. My handlebar jack stands has Velcro straps. I got mine from the Ariel Rider website. Which is where I bought my bike. I bought the Kepler. I'm loving it.
BRILLIANT! Thanks for this info. An E-bike can carry stuff like this or a rechargeable electric air pump with no weight problems. TIP: protect yer seat by resting it on yer cycling gloves or helmet.
If I was going to make something for this, I'd try to design an inflatable stand (with saddle protector). However, I rather like the simplicity of the spring clamps, and will try that out now!
Not gonna kid, AWESOME invention. Small, compact and well thought out. Been riding e-bikes for years as a way to commune five out and back from work and? Got VERY good at repairing flats on the spot going to and from work with my own repair kit. Usually only takes 20 minutes and I'm good to go which beats pushing your bike for one hour plus, THEN doing the 20 minute repair. When I get a flat on my way to work? Simply whip out my cell phone and let them know I'm going to be 20 to 30 minutes late and then get to work on the flat. Always carried the tools to remove the wheel, tool to remove the tire and had a spare innertube on me and... that dang small and pain in the butt hand pump. Upgraded lately and have a portable electric rechargeable air pump the size of a beta VCR tape. Yea, it's quite small AND powerful save it's digital display for air pressure? WAY OFF! Set it for 50 psi and a tire made for 40 to 60 and? Innertube BLEW UP! LMAO. Pretty sure it inflated by tire closer to 90 psi. Knew that tire felt too rock solid! But hey? As long as the tire has SOME give when I push my thumb into it but is still fairly solid? Good enough WITHOUT overinflating. Disappointed with the digital display but besides that? Awesome, small, powerful electric air pump. Bonus? Got it seventy percent off at Wallmart so? Probably discontinued.
Just got my first E mountain bike and came across this video and just bought the handlebar jacks. I had a flat tire the other day on the trails and could not flip my bike upside down because of the controller. I fixed the flat but was a pita. Unfortunately these jacks are out of stock for the next month. But these are going to be a great tool. Thanks for the information.
I have a rad rover, and I love your detailed style, simple and straight- forward, I look forward to your videos on improving my bike, I am an ancient Canadian, who rides everyday, 6ooo km a year, I don't want speed, but I want power. and better tires, brakes pads etc.
Thanks for this presentation... I watched it a few days ago and was so impressed, I went to the website and ordered the v2 bundle. The experience with purchasing and even the shipping was great. My package arrived today, and first thing I did was test it... This really rocks!!!
Well Kyle, another great vid to watch. I am a New and first time owner of an ebike. I went with Himiway for three reasons 1. Didn’t research much. 2. Price 3. 750w motor (Canadian province limits of speed suites 500w). Only have had bike for 3-4 weeks and have over 600klms on it. I guess that being said I am happy with the bike. Since buying I have checked out a few others, I think if I was looking to get another bike I would seriously look at Bolton bikes. After watching your helpful informative videos I get the feeling you really care about owners and future owners of ebikes. Thank you very much for all you do making these TH-cam videos. Regards. Ken Spock
bought them way back when you first exhibited them on your channel Kyle... have used them many times thru the years... still holding up great one of my best on the go tools....
Thanks for this review! I just ordered my first e-bike and didn't think about how all those controls are on the handlebars. I ordered a set and will feature it on my channel soon.
I bought a trike, and I am installing a front motor hub. But I had given some thought on how to change a rear flat tire. What I came up with is 2” PVC pipe, one piece going from side to side.with each slip fitting into four way joint, and pieces slip fitting into one leg fore and aft. Then you would insert a vertical piece into the remaining legs, on top would be a T-fitting with the top cut off, so each side can support the cross frame. So you would lift the bike up to set on the stand, and it would hold the rear wheels off the ground while making the repair. Because everything is slip fitted and not glued, when done pull it all apart and stow the pieces in a small tote bag. Haven’t gone shopping for parts yet, but I guess total cost would be about $20!
nice jacks! just found your channel today while shopping for my 1st ebike. Im 63 6"6"217lbs so yeah maybe an ebike? I live in the woods and have an mtb thats ok,but an ebike? the jacks would be great, but Im in the woods on real trails most of the time. really appreciate your information as I need to learn about these things.
These are a good compact idea. My ebike (Aventon Level) has rear fenders which makes it damaging to flip backward as you showed. Given it’s 62 lb weight it’s difficult to turn over. Any ideas on how to get it and similar bike on to seat and handle bar jacks?
I got a flat on my aventon sinch yesterday, back tire following spraying wheel cleaner for car rubber, the spray it and forget it kind. I think that was what caused it anyway, because it is so slick and gets down into the seal and for tires that only take a small amount of air, when that stuff gets down inside the rim, your seal is useless. So I propped the bike up on the curb so it stood on the kickstand on the curb and I held up the other side against my body and painstakingly got one side back inside the rim and then the other, pumped it up, relatively fast, then rode about 20 yards and it completely went flat and came off the rim. This was about the time I realized the tire dressing was probably the cause of this. But I got the tire back on again and this time took bungee cords and wrapped my tire around the top and sides so that when I pumped it up it would stay inside the rim. I thought I was pretty smart but I didn't have anything with me to clean up the tire dressing residue so I didn't even get 10 feet and it's like the rim was rotating by but the tire was lagging behind. Sorry about my scratchy grammar. Basically these handlebar stands will come in handy. I just had my roommate pick me up and i ordered a new set of road tires this time. Anyway, I'll see if I can buy these grip stands as well. Thanks
What a fantastic tool. They should sell it in some sort of tough bag that fits over a bike seat to protect the seat while the bike is upside down on the stands. Then keep the stands in the bag when you're not using them.
Got to have the humor, cuz these bikes aren't cheap! I have a DIY stealth bomber with about $4,000 into it....... I'm a dumbass I thought do-it-yourself meant cheaper!
@@johnhoggan9568 It would be if you stuck with the simple cheap route but we want a little better.... Just like designing your own computer but in the end it's better than an off the rack dell.
I'm making my guess @2:20 The invention is a centerstand that replaces the kickstand. Its like the centerstand on some Sport-Touring motorcycles, but it is adjustable, and spreads wide when down, allowing you a sturdy base to lift the rear hubmotor off the ground for a tire change or repair.
I just finished watching the video. So I was wrong. But I still prefer my idea, of a universal, adjustable, expandable centerstand. Not out of ego, 3 reasons. 1, I am interested in POWERFUL, All Wheel Drive e-bikes. Production or homemade, I expect it to be heavy. 2, I also want fenders, and I don't want to risk damaging fenders, rear-mount batteries, or anything else, trying to flip the bike onto its seat & bars. And 3, ebikes are a great step up from a normal bicycle, and they are still great exercise. But my end goal is to transition to an electric motorcycle, and exercise other ways. I want to get used to working on a motorcycle, that I can't just flip around like a bicycle.
Much appreciated, gonna order from the link for sure!I have come to rely on your content and very much appreciate it! Looking to make a trip out to the shop next time i need a new bike, its not far from Tahoe.
The black foam pipe insulation that is split down the middle works great. A couple of short sections weigh almost nothing and could be stored on a part of the frame/ tube.
which dimension foam pipe insulation do you use? you got an amazon link for it? I am thinking a few donuts of that foam pipe insualtion could be useful when leaning bike up against something by sticing them on bike frame strategically. maybe even using them for cushioning the seat when flipping the bicy over too?
@@manp1039 , Get several inside and outside diameters and strap em together with Velcro tape. Weighs almost nothing. Costs almost nothing and use it as it works for your handlebars as protection from scraping. Have double parts of foam so you can balance the angles.
@@mikemorgan8588 this has been a huge problem for me too.. how to protect the instuments and displays and accessories on top of handle bars when flipping bike over.. and after watching this video and thinking more about it.. I got an idea.. to use a pair of the plastic spring clamps i got at 99 cent store.. i think it was 99 cents for 2 of them.. and they worked great by clamping them onto each of the handlebar grips and then flipping bicycle over onto handle bars and resing on the 4 ends of the clamps.. here is pic i took of the clamps used as a stand and close up of them.
yes great tool I will buy thanks now very interested in your trip in ecar to deliver a bike wanted to know how much the cost to recharge your car amazed at no mention of cost at the recharge station to add electric to the battery ??? please inform us as I have not experienced that system as it is building out across the usa
Great product just purchased one I have a Park Tool bike service stand but this bit of kit is great for urban travel great vlog and Hi from a very damp Manchester UK
A couple of small blocks of EPP, trimmed to fit the Handlebar Grips, (expanded polypropylene, softer variations are what a "pool noodle" is made from, stiffer variations are used to pack expensive electronics in boxes for shipping). Easy to Pack, and Much lighter. Still, it's a Gr8 idea ! 👍
Bought one for a bike on back order. Just used it. I like it but the legs close up a little too easily so I would recommend the manufacturer change that to be harder to open and close the legs. However, it was excellent for keeping my LCD display, throttle, and brake connections away from the ground. And was certainly more stable than my bike would have been just laying on the handlebars alone. Thanks for all your reviews and tips in general and specifically the review to show me this product which I purchased only because I saw it on your TH-cam channel
We have an older heavy type ebike.. Male to female type battery charger connectors... Femile inside bike needs replacing.. What do I buy? What are they called? And cheapest way to do it? Did it once with music type connector.. But didn't work long.. Any ideas gratefully received.. 🙏Thanks
Way to go Andy, great invention, good to see there are still thinking people out there that can look at a problem and come up with a simple yet, highly useful tool to solve the problem. I'm going to buy me a set of handle bar jack stands. 🖖😎
I got a 29 inch bike with front and rear disk breaks. ordered a phone holder, rechagable front and rear lights, a rack and saddle bags. put heavy groceries in the saddle bags and light things in my backpack.
Kyle very good video, I learned a few thing myself, thanks for sharing. We are riding a trike. And ride with one of your patrons from time to time.😉😎🇦🇹
What about bar ends? Riding with these already installed will serve a double porpose. You can re - position them with an Allen key to do the same thing. What do you think?
Just ordered, Thank you Thank you for your purchase! Hi Larry, we're getting your order ready to be shipped. We will notify you when it has been sent .
I bought a set after I saw this a while back. There are soooo many guys on the Tube showing You what junk they are setting their bars on while they do work on their bikes. I can't believe this product is not more well known !!!!!
Please note that Kyle was reviewing an older model and the current handlebar jacks come with a hook and loop cinch strap with a silicone backing to keep things in their place.
Yes Andy. I just said that so all others might read that. I'm so impressed with Your little Perfect invention. I wondered how the gang on Shark Tank would react. I bet Lori would spend some money - ->>> It's a speciality item though so maybe not. What else You got cookin ? Let Us know.
Dude I so need that, I got so much junk on my handle bars, I used to have to take everything off the handlebars in order to fix my flat, definitely one of the greatest bike inventions, why didn't I think of that😀
SOLD!!!!! Very cool stuff my man. I’m getting into Ebikes and 2021 will be the year some for some commute and for fitness. Great page thanks. Stay safe ✌️
I definitely want a set of these! We biked the Central Otago Rail Trail in New Zealand last weekend - two 75km days on our ebikes- and on day 2 we got two punctures. One was a puncture, the other a split tube due to hitting a rock. The whole turn the bike over thing didn’t seem like a good idea, so my wife and her friend held the bikes by their rear carrier while I removed the wheel, swapped the tube, and put it back on. This is not an ideal option, especially with the 100km per hour winds. By the way, when I hit the rock I was doing 45kph not peddling, just wind assist!
Can you use theses on a bike with hydraulic brakes. I’ve heard of problems with hydraulic brakes not functioning properly after turning bike upside down. True or not true?
Been searching for a small ebike stand to lift my 2 wheel boat anchor just high enough ( couple inches) to rotate rear wheel with crank to clean and lubricate chain and rear gears...my aa2 has fenders and weighs a ton,flipping bike not an option, same with a vehicle single ebike trailer hitch bike mount,nothing under $800 except black widow rack,loading my 80 ebike is a struggle, heavy and odd weight making rolling heavy bike up short steep ramp a challenge unless you have help.
Watched 5:43 seconds and thought what the heck! Why not use bricks or Books that does the same job instead. Because 95% of the time when I get flat tyre in the middle of no where, quick tyre sealant works for me.
I saw someone make a handlebar screen protector a few years ago, but it was bulkier than this and I don't think anyone would take it on a ride. This is really well designed
Bolton you are a TOOL and a sellout. If you can't take the rear tire off an Ebike while it's standing, then you shouldn't be riding an Ebike. its what you might use at home in the garage if you don't have a bike maintenance stand and I just use a couple of bricks instead BUT NEVER on the trail. This is a CON JOB. DONT BUY IT!!
Cool product. So the handlebars don’t move around on those small contact points? Your floor is flat and not likely to be on the road. Will it rock? I have paddle style grips but think I can still mount them. Maybe.
Quite cool....I 3d print all sorts of things...I also have a Surron electric bike, and its 115 pounds...would these be able to hold my bike in this way?...the weak part of this would be the connections of the three legs and where they stop in place...3d prints can be quite strong but just wondering if they would hold a heavy bike.
I use a milk crate the grips straddle the ridges of crate the gauges are safely upside down suspended in crate ( note: for garage use only, or break down by a supermarket
I just bought these after watching this video, they work awesome. Mine has improved velcro straps instead of the rubber bands. I couldn't be happier with them and highly recommend this product. Made taking off my rear wheel off a breeze.

good thinking. thank you.
I have those and in a year I have needed them twice. Very reliable build quality.
You just need 2 pieces of pipe insulation sponge cut to size and cut down long edge. press onto handlebar or grips. Can also be stored in your bag or just pressed onto any part of your frame while not in use. Find some off cuts in a builders dumpster or friend/neighbour etc. if you dont wanna buy new.
The other thing this could include is a rolled up mat that could be placed under your seat. This would help protect the seat from scratches caused by turning the bike upside-down on gravel, concrete or asphalt. The mat could be rolled around the tripods when they are connected for storage. A velcro strap could be added to help keep everything grouped nicely in your gear bag.
I just put bar ends on my handlebars which not only keeps the handlebars off the ground but gives me an alternative grip. Thanks for sharing.
How safe is it to replace built-in electric bike battery? Can it cause electric shock? Should bike be completely discharged first? Another question is folding a bike (which disconnect controller from battery) reduces chance of battery fire?

Ok... Two things. The Handlebar Jacks look so great. And, loved the little add on EV segment at the end.
Haha, those tiny handlebar jack stands are adorable. I might try some spring clamps to do something similar and see how it works out.
Does it have one for the seat section too? - always ruin my seat like that I do... 😉Will buy these for sure thanks.
This Handlebar Jack is a fantastic idea. I've been racking my brain how to flip my bike upsidedown to work on without damaging the display. Sold!
I bought one of these Handlebar Jacks.. it works great! Thanks Kyle...
just purchased and it was lower than I anticipated.....thank you for showing it to us!

Sir , you are too cool, I'm 76 and that is not common words for me ! Just ordered the bike jacks, Thanks for all you do , Judd .
Tis very handy but how cool if each one fitted inside the handle bars 🤔
Hi Thanks for the tip about the handlebar jacks. Paused the video and ordered it right there. Will take some days to get it since I am in Sweden. 👍

You can accomplish the same thing for short $$
Pool Noodle! Cut into 2-3” sections - $5? Free?
Weight- a few grams?
I always recycle pot noodle pots. They stack and are nearly unbreakable,sand around top and they're passable to drink out of aswell.
What a fantastic tool. They should sell it in some sort of tough bag that fits over a bike seat to protect the seat while the bike is upside down on the stands. Then keep the stands in the bag when you're not using them.
Was just going to make exactly that comment. Store these in a tough bag you can pull over your seat as a protective cover.

Got to have the humor, cuz these bikes aren't cheap! I have a DIY stealth bomber with about $4,000 into it....... I'm a dumbass I thought do-it-yourself meant cheaper!
@@johnhoggan9568 It would be if you stuck with the simple cheap route but we want a little better.... Just like designing your own computer but in the end it's better than an off the rack dell.
Bricks and a towel?
I'm making my guess @2:20
The invention is a centerstand that replaces the kickstand. Its like the centerstand on some Sport-Touring motorcycles, but it is adjustable, and spreads wide when down, allowing you a sturdy base to lift the rear hubmotor off the ground for a tire change or repair.
I just finished watching the video. So I was wrong.
But I still prefer my idea, of a universal, adjustable, expandable centerstand.
Not out of ego, 3 reasons.
1, I am interested in POWERFUL, All Wheel Drive e-bikes. Production or homemade, I expect it to be heavy.
2, I also want fenders, and I don't want to risk damaging fenders, rear-mount batteries, or anything else, trying to flip the bike onto its seat & bars.
And 3, ebikes are a great step up from a normal bicycle, and they are still great exercise. But my end goal is to transition to an electric motorcycle, and exercise other ways. I want to get used to working on a motorcycle, that I can't just flip around like a bicycle.
But thanks anyway.
Love it... purchased as my bike is way too heavy for me to deal with. its going to be hard to flip it over but i will find a way
Much appreciated, gonna order from the link for sure!I have come to rely on your content and very much appreciate it! Looking to make a trip out to the shop next time i need a new bike, its not far from Tahoe.
The black foam pipe insulation that is split down the middle works great. A couple of short sections weigh almost nothing and could be stored on a part of the frame/ tube.
which dimension foam pipe insulation do you use? you got an amazon link for it? I am thinking a few donuts of that foam pipe insualtion could be useful when leaning bike up against something by sticing them on bike frame strategically. maybe even using them for cushioning the seat when flipping the bicy over too?
@@manp1039 , Get several inside and outside diameters and strap em together with Velcro tape. Weighs almost nothing. Costs almost nothing and use it as it works for your handlebars as protection from scraping. Have double parts of foam so you can balance the angles.
@@mikemorgan8588 this has been a huge problem for me too.. how to protect the instuments and displays and accessories on top of handle bars when flipping bike over.. and after watching this video and thinking more about it.. I got an idea.. to use a pair of the plastic spring clamps i got at 99 cent store.. i think it was 99 cents for 2 of them.. and they worked great by clamping them onto each of the handlebar grips and then flipping bicycle over onto handle bars and resing on the 4 ends of the clamps.. here is pic i took of the clamps used as a stand and close up of them.
my prior comment with link to picture got deleted by youtube or the aurhor of this video
@@manp1039 , I can see both of your comments... plastic, metal springs and possible breakage and scratching, I’ll stick with foam rubber.
I just bought a pair of handlebar grips with horns. Works a treat.
yes great tool I will buy thanks now very interested in your trip in ecar to deliver a bike wanted to know how much the cost to recharge your car amazed at no mention of cost at the recharge station to add electric to the battery ??? please inform us as I have not experienced that system as it is building out across the usa
Great product just purchased one I have a Park Tool bike service stand but this bit of kit is great for urban travel great vlog and Hi from a very damp Manchester UK
So where is the link for the handle bar jacks and discount ?
Same question
use the code "BoltonBikes2020" at checkout get 10% off
A couple of small blocks of EPP, trimmed to fit the Handlebar Grips, (expanded polypropylene, softer variations are what a "pool noodle" is made from, stiffer variations are used to pack expensive electronics in boxes for shipping). Easy to Pack, and Much lighter.
Still, it's a Gr8 idea ! 👍
From Sydney Australia. Just received mine. Great product and well built. Very impressed.
I want to buy that. Where can I get them?
I have a set of Handlebar Jacks and use them all the them. They are awesome!
Bought one for a bike on back order. Just used it. I like it but the legs close up a little too easily so I would recommend the manufacturer change that to be harder to open and close the legs. However, it was excellent for keeping my LCD display, throttle, and brake connections away from the ground. And was certainly more stable than my bike would have been just laying on the handlebars alone. Thanks for all your reviews and tips in general and specifically the review to show me this product which I purchased only because I saw it on your TH-cam channel
*stable not ‘she table’
We have an older heavy type ebike.. Male to female type battery charger connectors... Femile inside bike needs replacing.. What do I buy? What are they called? And cheapest way to do it? Did it once with music type connector.. But didn't work long.. Any ideas gratefully received.. 🙏Thanks
Thanks Kyle these work GREAT... actually bought them and am using them to install my Juintech/Bolton M1 hydraulic calipers...
Way to go Andy, great invention, good to see there are still thinking people out there that can look at a problem and come up with a simple yet, highly useful tool to solve the problem. I'm going to buy me a set of handle bar jack stands. 🖖😎
I am sure Kyle is very good at what he does...but he really drags things out.....GREAT TOOL!!
You're right - what a great idea! Bought one a few minutes ago.
Use your shoe pair.. It gives cushioning and grip which keeps it steady..also enough clearance for all the handlebar stuff.
Got it! I love it. And have used it on the trail.
Just ordered mine! Thanks for the discount!
I got a 29 inch bike with front and rear disk breaks. ordered a phone holder, rechagable front and rear lights, a rack and saddle bags. put heavy groceries in the saddle bags and light things in my backpack.
Kyle very good video, I learned a few thing myself, thanks for sharing. We are riding a trike. And ride with one of your patrons from time to time.😉😎🇦🇹
What about bar ends? Riding with these already installed will serve a double porpose. You can re - position them with an Allen key to do the same thing. What do you think?
Did not realize this video is old. The product looks upgraded and better! ❤️❤️
It is improved for sure!
Very bright nice solution.
The solution is also at your dollar store and can have other uses in your tool/ camp pack. It's a spring clamp.
Just ordered, Thank you
Thank you for your purchase!
Hi Larry, we're getting your order ready to be shipped. We will notify you when it has been sent .
very cool tool
I bought a set after I saw this a while back. There are soooo many guys on the Tube showing You what junk they are setting their bars on while they do work on their bikes. I can't believe this product is not more well known !!!!!
Amazing product, great idea, congrats.
What protects your seat and fenders
Pretty genius tool, I don't have an ebike but I would definitely buy it once I get one, or maybe if I win a bolton bike 😄, thanks for the video.
I still wish I had a good strong stand at home but this is genius for on the fly repairs.
I put a square frame together out of scrap 2x4 lumber. Works fine for me.
Please note that Kyle was reviewing an older model and the current handlebar jacks come with a hook and loop cinch strap with a silicone backing to keep things in their place.
Yes Andy. I just said that so all others might read that. I'm so impressed with Your little Perfect invention. I wondered how the gang on Shark Tank would react. I bet Lori would spend some money - ->>> It's a speciality item though so maybe not. What else You got cookin ? Let Us know.
Where do we buy them?
Awesome! I just ordered a pair and look forward to getting it!
I have a shop stand but this is awesome for on the road.... Ordered!
Dude I so need that, I got so much junk on my handle bars, I used to have to take everything off the handlebars in order to fix my flat, definitely one of the greatest bike inventions, why didn't I think of that😀
SOLD!!!!! Very cool stuff my man. I’m getting into Ebikes and 2021 will be the year some for some commute and for fitness. Great page thanks. Stay safe ✌️
6:40 handle bar jack
I definitely want a set of these! We biked the Central Otago Rail Trail in New Zealand last weekend - two 75km days on our ebikes- and on day 2 we got two punctures. One was a puncture, the other a split tube due to hitting a rock. The whole turn the bike over thing didn’t seem like a good idea, so my wife and her friend held the bikes by their rear carrier while I removed the wheel, swapped the tube, and put it back on. This is not an ideal option, especially with the 100km per hour winds. By the way, when I hit the rock I was doing 45kph not peddling, just wind assist!
Hydraulic brakes?
great bit of kit ,just ordered mine
Can you use theses on a bike with hydraulic brakes. I’ve heard of problems with hydraulic brakes not functioning properly after turning bike upside down. True or not true?
Been searching for a small ebike stand to lift my 2 wheel boat anchor just high enough ( couple inches) to rotate rear wheel with crank to clean and lubricate chain and rear gears...my aa2 has fenders and weighs a ton,flipping bike not an option, same with a vehicle single ebike trailer hitch bike mount,nothing under $800 except black widow rack,loading my 80 ebike is a struggle, heavy and odd weight making rolling heavy bike up short steep ramp a challenge unless you have help.
Watched 5:43 seconds and thought what the heck! Why not use bricks or Books that does the same job instead. Because 95% of the time when I get flat tyre in the middle of no where, quick tyre sealant works for me.
I saw someone make a handlebar screen protector a few years ago, but it was bulkier than this and I don't think anyone would take it on a ride. This is really well designed
Thanks for the tip. Ordered one today. Great tool for on the road stuff.
I'm new to To electric bikes And I'm loving it
Wow and to think I've been using a scrap piece of 2x4 I cut in half. Now I can buy a new tool.
You can never have too many tools... Now shut up and take my money! :)
Bolton you are a TOOL and a sellout. If you can't take the rear tire off an Ebike while it's standing, then you shouldn't be riding an Ebike. its what you might use at home in the garage if you don't have a bike maintenance stand and I just use a couple of bricks instead BUT NEVER on the trail. This is a CON JOB. DONT BUY IT!!
Oleg, you are and must be the ultimate Tool!!
Cool product. So the handlebars don’t move around on those small contact points? Your floor is flat and not likely to be on the road. Will it rock? I have paddle style grips but think I can still mount them. Maybe.
Quite cool....I 3d print all sorts of things...I also have a Surron electric bike, and its 115 pounds...would these be able to hold my bike in this way?...the weak part of this would be the connections of the three legs and where they stop in place...3d prints can be quite strong but just wondering if they would hold a heavy bike.
Good job using a light 20" bmx for the demonstration!!
What about using some rope/ lanyards? You can work on the bike while the frame frame hangs off a pole/tree branch.
I don't have room on my bike for rope, pulleys, and such, besides there are not to many trees in the desert.
@@VTXrider how about room in the bike?... But I kinda agree with you on the desert part
I use a milk crate the grips straddle the ridges of crate the gauges are safely upside down suspended in crate ( note: for garage use only, or break down by a supermarket
