Begona Bike Stand Vertical, Bike Parking Rack Floor Stand Space Saving Bicycle Rack for Garage Apartment Storage with Wheel Stabilizer Strap, Super Stable Fit Almost 20-28in Mountain/Road/Kids Bikes

Love that it sits the bike upright and opens up son space. Just don’t run into it…

The media could not be loaded.  It does work. Better than lean against the wall

Easy to put the bike in, pretty compact way of storage.Falls to the sides even if someone walks past it.

My preferred choice for a bike stand is always a freestanding vertical floor stand where the bikes are oriented in the same position as if they were on the ground (essentially the rack makes them look like they are floating). I really like the racks from the now defunct "Supergo" company which are similar to the RaxGo floor stand racks here on Amazon. I like freestanding racks (esp for apartments) because they don't require putting them into the wall to work (and damaging said wall). I also like them because you don't have to manipulate the bike from the position it's in when you bring it to the rack. You just roll up and then lift the bike off the ground and onto the rack arms without turning the bike at all.However, I was recently faced with a situation where I needed to temporarily store my bicycle upright during some house repairs. I needed a stand of this design. Is it as stable as the larger 2 bike rack I own? Not at all. I wouldn't feel too comfortable bumping into this with anything other than a light bump.However, I never bumped into my other rack with any great force, so I don't think I need to fear that here.I was able to mount a Specialized Diverge Comp E5 Gravel Bike with relative ease (Approx weight 25lbs). It looked good, and fit in the exact space I needed. I would not recommend this design for those with weaker upper body strength as you need to pull the bike upright. It's probably not good for riders 5'5" or shorter either for similar body mechanics issues. If you have two or more bikes to store this won't save you any room versus a floor standing rack for two bikes. However, if you only have one bike and space is at a premium get this.

I've been looking for stands for my bikes stored in our garage that would not only allow the bikes to take up less space but also easy to reach and can be used to do repairs when needed. So, when I saw this vertical bike floor stand from Begona I decided to give it a try. I like the look of the stand and how it does help the bike take up less space by storing it vertically. I like the black, chrome and red look of the stand itself. I like that it has a hook for the top tire that seems to work well and comes with a Velcro strap to help keep the bike in place. I like that with the bike in a vertical position like it is with this stand I can work on the bike easier. A few concerns I do have is that it doesn't have any wheels or slides on the bottom making it harder to move the bike and stand across the garage floor. And I don't feel it is as stable as it could be so I feel you have to keep your hand on the stand and bike to make sure it doesn't accidentally fall off or fall over. The chrome section of the stand itself feels a bit flimsy and does feel very strong. It was also a bit of work to put together and the directions are really not very clear. Overall, I do like this stand but feel it could have been designed a bit better for more stability. 4 out of 5 stars.

We have a one-car garage, so keeping a bike in there is problematic. This rack is a little hard to put together just right as the hook part at the top is a bit counter-intuitive. I didn't find this rack especially great, but it was an improvement, as it does take up less room horizontally. And it would probably be good if you had a storage space at your apartment or wanted to keep it in your apartment or home, but space is at a premium.

Considering how small this stand is when not in use, it does a really good job. We got this for my husband's bike, which is currently in our storage unit, so we can't hang it from the ceiling or store it "creatively."We were actually pretty impressed. Is the bike held super still? No. But it's also not falling over, and considering the small size of the stand, it does a good job of keeping the bike in place. It took a few minutes of adjusting (the strap is a must - it helps stability considerably) to get it as secure as possible, but no part of the process was overly difficult or time consuming.If you have little kids or pets, you'll probably want to look for a different option that would be harder for them to tip over, but for adult use or storage purposes, this is great.
