My new road ebike didn't come with a kickstand, but with its heft, it was a pain not to have one, as there's not always a good place to lean it, and I didn't particularly want to have to lie it on the ground. My husband found this one and installed it. I was worried it might be too light-duty for my ebike, which weighs upward of 40 lbs, but no problem! No wobbles even. It works perfectly and is so much more convenient. I don't care if a kickstand is dorky; it does the job!
I know some will say this product is dumb because you have a bike and actually ride it hard, it will get scratched at some point. However, this was a GREAT purchase for my new carbon gravel frame. I searched every other option because I thought I could find something better and cheaper and ended up buying this in the end. It's a great product, very easy to install, and you can barely see it on my new Alchemy Lycos frame. Cleans easy and was actually quite fun to put on. Lots of options for install and would put on my next new bike too.
SRAM front and rear derailleurs don't come with batteries most of the time. I converted my TT bike from mechanical to wireless shifting and needed one more battery to complete the set up. It's nice that these are standard and can be moved between bikes so you don't need to have a bunch of them. I have another one on my AXS XPLR dropper post that I move to the TT Bike when I'm going to ride it now, or back when I'm using the gravel bike.
I works. I rotate it in with my other two batteries on the bike, so have only used it for one cycle. It is a little expensive for such a small battery and just in case spare battery. Wireless shifting is so much better. I have it for my 2x12 SRAM rival wireless. During the season of 2023 I was on two different rides where another rider had to cut their ride short due to a dead SRAM derailler battery. I can't remember that last time a cable broke on a ride However it did happen to me a couple of years ago, but was able to mod it to get me home.
