Video Transcript for All You Need to Know About the 6 Bike Floor Stand

Hi everyone. It's Evangeline here at etrailer.com, and I like to ride bikes. But after my bike ride, what I tend to do is just find any spot in my garage and just leave it there with the kickstand up. Or if I don't have a kickstand, I just find somewhere to lean it up against like a shelf or my garage's wall, which is not ideal. So today, we'll be taking a look at our Swagman Park It 6 floor bike stand here at etrailer.com. This is the six bike version.

So let's say you have a large family. Everyone has a bike and you need somewhere to store them all. This is a great option. Or if you're the type of cyclist that has different types of bikes, like your road bikes, your mountain bikes, your fat bikes, you can use this just as much. This is made of solid steel tubing, which is durable but also it feels lightweight.

As I was moving it around, it was very easy to maneuver and place into position. If you are carrying extra heavy bikes, though, you do have the option of bolting this down to your floor. This is how my garage usually looks like. I have bikes leaned up against the wall, bike here, bike there. And I come in after a bike ride, and I'm trying to find a spot for the bike I was just riding.

You can see how much space this takes up. So you've seen how all our bikes look like spread out. Let's see how they look like all fit together in our one stand. Okay, there we go. As you can see, we have a lot more room in our garage.

Now this will definitely depend on the length of your bike, your wheel bases, and the size of your tires. But in this case, we have an average bike size. This one has a 41 wheel base, 39 wheel base. And your overall length here is 115 inches. Now if space is an issue and you want this because you want the most compact way to store your bikes, we can also use this in the one side position, and let's take some measurements just to see how much clearance you have to work with. For the length of the stand, we have it at 35 inches. Now the actual space it uses depends on your handlebars. Now I know you have bikes of different shapes and different sizes, but as you can see, the way that your wheel is mounted to the bike stand, it doesn't come past the end of our bike stand. So let's take some measurements there. From the end of our stand, to the end, to the other end, which is right over here, it sits at 26 and 1/2 inches. For the overall length, from the end of the bike stand to the end of our average size bike right over here, it is 68 inches. Another thing you can pick up if you want to secure bikes to your bike stand is the etrailer cable lock. Now this is 10 feet long and is plenty of room to wrap around your bikes and secure it to deter theft. This can fit your regular sized tires, as well as your fat tires. So for distance between bars for your regular size one, it's two and 3/8 inches. And for your larger space, this one's between bars is four and 1/2 inches wide. My final thoughts about this bike stand is I can see it's really designed for indoor use. If you are looking for an outdoor bike stand, we do have the Saris Mighty Mile, which is a little bit more corrosion resistant, but if you need something to organize your garage and to keep your bikes upright and safe, this is a good option. I also like how it's lightweight but also has the option of bolting it down. You can also use dual sides if you need to. Whatever you need to do to make your life a little bit easier and your bike rides a little bit more fun. This is a good option for you. And that was a look at our Swagman Park It 6 floor bike stand here at etrailer.com..
