fully automated center stand for bicycle

grabcad

This innovative bike stand features high-torque digital servo motors that intelligently deploy and retract landing gear on both sides of the bicycle. Motion sensors detect when the rider dismounts, automatically activating the motors, while forward motion triggers automatic retraction. Audio feedback is provided before each automation. The system can share power from a bike's headlight or use a dedicated battery. When the pivot arms touch the ground, the bike lifts and locks into place, with a mechanical stop preventing further movement. Retraction is initiated by pushing the bike forward slightly, unlocking the stand and causing the servo motor to reverse current for full retraction. The system can be easily attached or removed without tools in minutes, using compact hand twist knobs at three integrated locations. Its lightweight aluminum frame and sticky rubber pivot tips ensure stability and compatibility with various wheel sizes, thanks to interchangeable polyurethane bushings at all mounting points.
