Looking after it

Keep the ramp and the wheel channel clear of grit so the wheel rolls up cleanly. Check the strap for fraying now and then, since it is the part that does the securing.

About this product

Stand the bike on its back wheel and get the floor back.

A no-drill upright stand with a roll-up ramp, a vertical brace and a securing strap, for any bike with a wheel 25 cm or larger.

The bike stores upright on its rear wheel, so it occupies roughly its own width instead of its own length.

Nothing is drilled. The stand is freestanding and portable, which is what makes it work in a rented flat.

You roll the rear wheel up the ramp rather than lifting the bike, which is the difference between this and a ceiling hook.

The front wheel locks against the vertical brace and is held with a strap for stability.

It takes mountain bikes, road bikes, racers, children's bikes and beach cruisers, anything with a wheel of 25 cm or more.

A bike lying flat takes about a metre and a half of floor. Standing on its back wheel it takes a little more than the width of its handlebars, and in a hallway, a small flat or a full garage that difference is the whole point.

The usual alternative is a wall or ceiling hook, and the reason people give up on those is the lifting. Getting a bike up onto a hook means taking its full weight above waist height, which is manageable with a light road bike and genuinely awkward with a heavy hybrid.

This avoids the lift. The rear wheel rolls up a ramp and the bike pivots upright, so what you are doing is guiding weight rather than carrying it.

Once it is up, the front wheel sits against the vertical brace and a strap holds it there. That strap is what turns a balanced bike into a secured one, and it is worth doing up every time rather than only when the bike feels wobbly.

Because it needs no fixings, it moves. It works in a flat where drilling is not allowed, in a rented garage, on a covered balcony, or in a house where the bike lives in a different place in summer than in winter.

Still deciding?

Not sure yet? That is fine.

You can change your mind. This shop's own returns policy gives you 15 days from purchase to send it back in its original packaging with proof of purchase, and we refund the price you paid for the goods.

If it turns up faulty, damaged or not as described, that is on us. We pay the return postage and you can have a repair, a replacement or your money back, and provincial consumer protection law protects you whatever our policy says.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the bike go into it?

You roll the rear wheel up the ramp, bring the front wheel up so it locks against the vertical brace, then fasten the strap around the front wheel.

Do I have to lift the bike?

Not in the way a wall hook requires. The rear wheel rolls up a ramp and the bike pivots upright, so you are guiding it rather than carrying it.

Does it need drilling?

No. It is freestanding and portable, which is why it suits rented flats and anywhere you would rather not fix into the wall.

What bikes will it fit?

Any bike with a wheel diameter of 25 cm or more, including mountain, road, racing, children's and beach cruiser bikes.

How much floor space does it save?

A bike stored flat takes roughly its own length. Upright it takes roughly its own width, which in a hallway is the difference between passable and not.

Is the strap necessary?

Yes, use it every time. The brace holds the position and the strap is what stops the front wheel moving out of it.

Will it hold a heavy bike?

The roll-up loading is easier on heavy bikes than any hook. For a very heavy e-bike, check its weight and consider whether you can control it on the ramp.

Can I use it outdoors?

It is intended for indoor use and for covered sheds and balconies. It is not a weatherproof store.

Does it protect my bike from theft?

No. It is a stand, not a security device. If theft is a concern you need a lock, and ideally an anchor point.

Does it protect against weather damage?

No. A bike in the stand is as exposed as a bike anywhere else in the same spot. A cover or a shed is what handles weather.

Will it damage my floor or walls?

The point of it is that the bike is not resting against anything. That is what stops the pedal marks and scuffs you get from leaning bikes.

Is it adjustable?

Yes, it adjusts to suit the bike, which is what lets one stand take a child's bike and an adult mountain bike.

Can I do maintenance while the bike is in it?

The upright position makes a lot of jobs easier to reach. It is not a workstand, so it does not let the wheels spin freely off the ground.

Will it work on carpet?

It works best on a firm level surface. On thick carpet the ramp can sink slightly, so check the bike is settled before you let go.

Can I move it once the bike is in?

Take the bike out first. Moving a loaded stand puts a side load on the brace that it is not there to take.

Does it take up much room when not in use?

It is portable and can be stood aside or stored when it is not holding a bike.

Can I store two bikes on it?

It is a single bike stand. Two bikes need two stands.

Will it fit a bike with mudguards?

Usually, since the stand holds the wheel rather than the frame. Full wrap guards are worth checking against the wheel channel.

Will it fit fat tyres?

The stated compatibility is by wheel diameter. Very wide fat-bike tyres are the usual exception to any standard channel.

Does it scratch the wheel?

It holds the wheel rather than clamping the rim. Keeping grit out of the channel is what avoids marks over time.

Is it stable enough to leave a bike in long term?

Yes, indoors, with the strap fastened. It is designed for storage rather than just parking.

Can I use it on a balcony?

A covered balcony, yes. An uncovered one exposes the bike to weather, which the stand does nothing about.

How long does it take to set up?

It is described as quick and easy with no drilling. The setup is the stand itself, not a wall installation.

Will the bike lean against the wall?

No, and that is the idea. The brace holds it upright clear of the wall, so nothing rubs the paint.

Can children load their own bikes onto it?

A child's bike is light and rolls up the ramp easily, which is one of the reasons this style suits families.

What if my wheel is smaller than 25 cm?

Then it is outside the stated compatibility. Very small children's bikes are the usual case.

How do I clean it?

Wipe it down and keep the ramp and channel clear of grit, which is what keeps the wheel rolling up cleanly.

Does it come assembled?

It is described as quick and easy to set up with no drilling and no wall fixings.

How long does delivery take?

Five to seven days in Canada and seven to ten days to other countries. Delivery is free on orders of $100 or more, so this stand qualifies on its own; below $100 a delivery charge of $25 applies.

Can I return it if it does not suit my bike?

Yes. It is a stock item, so this shop's own 15 day change-of-mind policy applies alongside your faulty goods guarantees.

The complete guide

Storing a bike upright in a small home

4 min read SpaceSaver Canada

The arithmetic of a vertical bike

A typical adult bike is about 1.7 metres long and about 60 centimetres wide at the bars.

Lying against a wall, it eats 1.7 metres of that wall and roughly half a metre of floor coming out from it. In a hallway that is most of the hallway.

Standing on its rear wheel, the footprint becomes the width of the bars and the depth of a wheel. The bike goes up rather than along, and the space it used to occupy becomes usable again.

That is the entire argument for vertical storage, and it is why it wins in flats, hallways and garages that are already full.

Why rolling beats lifting

Wall and ceiling hooks achieve the same saving, and plenty of people buy one, use it for a fortnight and go back to leaning the bike on the wall.

The reason is always the lift. Getting a bike onto a hook means taking its full weight above waist height and holding it steady while you locate the wheel on the hook. A 9 kg road bike is fine. A 15 kg hybrid with mudguards, a rack and a lock on it is a different job, and doing it twice a day in a narrow hallway gets old fast.

Rolling the rear wheel up a ramp changes the movement completely. The floor takes the weight for most of the travel and you are steering rather than lifting. That is what makes vertical storage something people keep using.

Use the strap

The most common mistake with any upright stand is treating the strap as optional because the bike looks stable without it.

It usually is stable, until something knocks the bars, or a child squeezes past, or the front wheel turns and the balance point moves.

The brace positions the bike. The strap keeps it there. It takes two seconds and it is the difference between a bike that stays put and a bike that comes down on whatever is beside it.

What a stand does not do

Two claims get attached to bike storage that are worth separating out, because believing them can cost you a bike.

Security. A stand holds a bike upright. It has no lock, and it is not fixed to the building, so it offers nothing against theft. A bike stored in a shared hallway, a communal bike store or a garage that others can access still needs a proper lock, ideally to a ground or wall anchor.

Weather. A stand does not shelter anything. A bike on an open balcony in a stand gets exactly as wet as it would leaning on the railing. Covered space, or a cover, is a separate purchase.

The stand is worth having for what it does, which is to stop the bike falling over and to give you your floor back. It just is not a lock and it is not a shed.

Where to put it

Two practical points decide whether it is convenient or annoying.

Firm, level ground. The ramp works best on a hard floor. Thick carpet lets one side sink slightly, which makes the roll-up feel vague.

Room to swing. The bike pivots as it comes upright, so the handlebars sweep an arc. Leave enough clearance beside it that the bars are not hitting a door frame or a radiator on the way up.
