Can one person lift the bike onto the stand? Curious to know ease of operation for one person with no help. Technique advice welcomed!

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.

I can do it pretty easily... but I am a big guy. The biggest challenge is if the bike is on the side stand the angle is a bit difficult to navigate. It is very easy if someone stands and holds the bike vertical.

Yea u could. But go slow to make sure ta bike doesn't fall ova the other way.

Yes, one person could lift the rear of the bike. It's pretty easy after doing it a few times. As for how to do it I would recomend looking on you tube, in the search bar type "how to use a rear bike stand" or something like that.

I would suggest getting someone to help. First you need to remove the stand. Also, you need to get a bracket kit that is compatible. I bought mine at Best Buy.Mine was not difficult to figure out once the bracket kit was attached. But, I had a handy man in my building help since it was a bit heavy to lift.

I have a HD Ultra classic. It lifts it just fine, just make sure the jack is centered in the right place. If someone sturdies the bike it will move OK, it needs to be on flat concrete surface.

The stand is stable. It works great for my kids bikes (ttr-125 & ttr-125 big wheel), but in my opinion, it is too small for my bike. I have a DRZ-400 and it is hard to get the tires off the ground without some adjustment and even then, they barely come off the ground. Great for smaller bikes, not so great for bigger bikes. Good quality and price, but if I had to do over, I would buy something to get my bike a little higher. Hope this helps!!!!

There is a red button "pull up" release behind the upright rack post. Pull up and the post tilts downward allowing access to the lift gate. Pretty awkward if there are bikes (more than one) on the rack but easy to use. The actual support bars for the bikes fold down with a red toggle at the top of the rack for use if you want to leave the rack in place (without bikes, of course).

Yes you can spin the wheels. I kid you not. This stand is solid. Very professional. I thought about the price also and the quality. You will be happy with this stand. If you don't like it you always have the option of returning the item, but I seriously doubt you will when you assemble the stand, and see how sturdy the bike stand is.

I have been able to do it, but you have the full weight of the bikes to worry about. If you are strong, you won't have much trouble.

As long as the bike has a kickstand or something stable keep it upright, you can operate it alone

Yes, it can be done without much issue. Still much easier than a regular tent even with one person. It is a little heavy though so take it slow and easy and park close to where you will put it while unloading if possible. Have fun!

I am very satisfied with the rack... It serves it's purpose.. I believe there is always a solution to the request you are asking .. I unfortunately do not have the knowledge or know how to accomplish that.. But I can state that I have four bikes(2) on each arm and have had no problems.. My wife would like me to anchor the rack to the wall in case it might crush our daughter .. I again have no knowledge to know how ... THULE The name you know ..!!

No. The stand will keep the bike upright. With the weight of a rider on the seat, it would tip over and probably damage your rear wheel. A proper trainer would probably be what you would need. Perhaps your could borrow one.

It sounds like you have a unique situation and it's difficult for me to give you a 100% thumbs up/down answer. Our joints are new & unique. They can be operated with 1 hand (you click to release the joint, rotate to the desired setting and click to lock it in place). If the person use the stand in a common location, little adjustment is usually required after the product has been set up correctly. Call/email if there's anything else we can do for you. thanks.

Not a good idea. you cannot sit on back rack so no where for 2nd person to sit. but we are pleased with the bike so far with one rider at a time.

Unloaded one person can lift it, otherwise it depends on what you load into it.

I have a DH bike that weighs 45lbs and the stand works great with it. Check the park tool website to see if there's a weight limit before you buy.

no it is not easy enough for one person....maybe once it is broken up and down a few times I think Ican get it up if one of the legs is in a fixed position like tied to a tree. But then I'm a girl.

Possibly, the mechanism is is fairly tight but not overly hard to turn. I haven't used it enough to "break-it-in" yet so the jack will probably get easer to operate. Right now, I would say that a good 1/2" drill motor would lift and lower the jack, but have no idea if it'll pick-up a bike.
