I am gathering from reading most of the info that you dont need help getting bike into stand and bike will stand by itself, is this true ???

With the bike running you can easily ride it into the stand. Yes, the bike will stand by itself once its in the stand.

This is true. You can push your bike in, or ride it in. This works for a Harley and a dirt bike. Once in, you can let go and they will stand by themselves. With the dirt bike; pull back on the bars and it's out. With the Harley, though; the stand wants to slide when trying to remove the bike from the stand. If it's anchored in anyway (or extend the stand the length of your wheelbase with sheetmetal, etc.); it works fine. Very good product!

If this is mounted one person can drive it into the cradle and get off ,however if it's not mounted it will slide on the floor and two people will be nesassary

Yes. It takes a little to get used to balancing the bike on your own but after you do it a coupe times or becomes easy.

Yes, as long as you secure the bike to the stand with the rubber rings. These rubber rings come with the stand.

In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.) There are bolts that go from the stand into those holes. (We had to have one replaced because it didn't fit! They sent us a whole new stand, we removed the one bolt that we needed, and shipped the rest of it back. Very sad.) Anyway, when you put the bike up on those bolts, it fits right in and lifts the back wheels off the ground. Easy -- IF the bolts fit. Be aware that you are sitting up about 2 inches off the floor so you have to be careful about balance and speed. And it is noisy if you set any tension against the wheel. But you don't have to worry about all those snow storms! <hehe> In the center of the back wheels there are small holes (I don't know the name of them.)

Once the bike is on the stand, it's very sturdy. The only times I need to be careful is when I'm either putting the bike on or taking it off. Sometimes I need to put my foot onto one of the support legs on the floor to keep it from tipping.

Not with my bike. It all went together very quickly and easily. No additoinal anything was needed and I use it daily. It's awesome.

Yes, that's the motorcycle I have and it supports my bike. The first time I did it I had someone there to help balance it just so I could see what it would do. I'm very happy with it.

I put a nail into a stud through the hole at the top of the frame. In that environment one bike on top, none on the bottom would be fine. Without that support I have more concerns about safety i.e; taking a bike of the top of a stand that is supported via balance only.

No. You'll have put the handlebars, brakes, etc together. I ended up taking it to sports authority and the finished it for me, although I'm not that handy.

It keeps the rear tire elevated off the ground and the bike strait up. The stand is not wider than your handlebars so as long as there is room for the stand to for between the wall and sofa the bike will stand freely on the ground without touching anything else.

No, but pretty easy to assemble. Still, once you do, I would recommend going to a local bike store to make sure it's been doom right. That's what I did.

Sorry, it's been too long since I assembled it to remember. I do, however, remember assembling the bike twice and thinking, how would someone who is not extrememly careful ever assemble this bike without breaking something? I would take S. White advice and check out the YouTube.

Yes and No &gt; the stand only supports the front or back wheel and it will keep the bike erect if there is no "adventurous" pushes as the back end of the bike or front wheel will rotate and tip it on it's side. My 5 year old granddaughter would inadvertently push it over by playing with the handlebars or "crashing" into it while running helter skelter oblivious to any obstacles in her path. I put my bike in the garage when my granddaughter visits as she always tries to ride it or play with it and yes it did fall on her during one of her escapades prompting the garage storage when she visits.

Sorry, we had no trouble at all with this bike, either upon shipment, during assembly or during usage. I suggest you take it to a good bike repair shop in your area and ask the question. Good luck!

That's a pretty heavy bike, but I think the stand is heavy duty enough because it's all steel and all the weight is basically sitting on the bottom bracket. One thing you should know is it uses the little approximately 2" x 1" square opening I have seen kick stands mounted, and it has a T-bolt allows you to fasten the bike frame to stand just behind the bottom bracket. I hope that makes senseAlso, I would suggest drilling holes four legs and bolting the stand to four foot plywood square to stabilize it from tipping, etc. Hope this helps.

Yes. However It's a little difficult as with all of the weight in the rear, it makes the bike want to tip. My bike has a sidestand which makes it possible. It's a little tricky but I do it all the time. It is easier with 2 people.

Sure! When you get the bike, stand next to it. Raise or lower the seat till it lines up with your hip while you are standing. Secure the seat and pedal away.
