so I've now got 6 hours on my bike, with an average speed of 22 miles an hour that's over 130 miles. So far I haven't even had to tighten a motor mount or even adjust a chain tensioner. The only sort of problem I have encountered is that the other day I had to take the wheel of so I could get the bike in a truck, I discovered that getting the wheel back on with such a heavy bike is extremely hard with nothing to lean it against. If I were to get a flat tire I would have to put the bike down on its derailleur and it would be hard to get the wheel on. Does anyone know of a kick stand that keeps the rear wheel off the ground even if there is no wheel on the back of the bike or does anyone know of any solutions I could carry in my bag since I carry a large bag with me when I ride, maybe some sort of stand. Thanks for the help

Here read this thread, it talks all about the center stands

I have looked at a whizzer stand, @DAMIEN1307 uses one that he is quite fond of.
It's easy, all you have to do with the stand I bought from Amazon is remove the regular kickstand and put this one in its place.
