I'll admit it's VERY cool... but it weighs 87kg and is over £2000 !!!

It's a bit much to support a 20 kilo bike.

My £20 Aldi stand holds mine just fine but it needs the legs fully out whereas the normal bike they can be at 45 degrees with no fear of toppling so if it's got a small footprint it does have an advantage....

I don't know what would piss me off more, waiting for it to go up and down or the fact I spunked 2k on a machine that I don't use as I'd rather lift a bike onto it than wait.

I guess it depends how many 20+kg ebikes you're lifting regularly

Regularly would make it more annoying, taking the battery off first would help if you're a bit weak.

The more difficult bit with an ebike is finding somewhere the clamp fits that is vaguely near the balance point.

Not all ebike batteries are easy to remove these days

If you're mechanicing lots of ebikes all day everyday then this world be a godsend.
The shop that I bought my Whyte from has one ( or similar)

For some reason the video won't play for me, but the bike in the still is a knobbly tyred thing not a boring commuter bike. If you're into off road riding then being able to lift a 20kg should be a problem, even if you have to do it a lot

To me it has similarities with using a lift or the escalators to go up to a gym to use a treadmill.
