I've read a lot of great things about several center stands in this forum. I appreciate your opinion of the Wheeldock, but I'm looking for a comparison of the $99 stand to either the Wheeldock EZ-Up stand and/or the OEM stand.

Thanks!

I got you 50% of the way there, now you just have to hear from someone with the $99 stand

Actually, I'm no farther than I was when the original question was asked. Like I said, there are plenty of posts out here about the stands that folks have used, but how this $99 stand from Debrix Cycles compares to those stands is still unknown.

What would be good is if someone who has used both stands could chime in here and tell us how the $99 stand compares to the others. Seems to me that you typically get what you pay for, but considering the price tag of all of these stands, when one comes along for 99 bucks, I'm thinking someone may have figured out that there just isn't enough material in the stand to justify the dollars these vendors are asking and even at $99 they are still making a profit. So the question remains....

From the lack of replys it seems as though no one has risked the $99 when they know they can get a quality stand from Wheeldock at $239 or whatever they are. You buy it and tell us!

I am probably going to do that as the $99 price tag is a relatively small risk, but then again, I would not be able to provide a good comparison as I've never used any of the other stands myself. Therfore, my submission would only be based on one stand and without the knowledge of what the other stands compared, I don't think there would be much value....

Perhaps it's time to solicit MCN and see if they'll do a review.

Remember that you get what you pay for. Put the $99 towards the Wheeldock. Very easy to install and use. I have no problem getting my Ultra up, hehe.

Us that have paid the price for the Wheeldock have no need to spend another $99.00 for a "test". Again, you could be the first to have both! Let us know......

I wouldn't waste my money on that center stand. From the pictures, the bolts and the thickness of the metal does not look half as strong as the Wheeldock Center Stand.

Just my 2 cents. Plus if you have any problems with the Wheeldock, they are awesome people and stand behind their product. If the stand is not correct for your scoot, it will be extremely hard to put your scoot up on it. My Wheeldock stand works perfect and is easy to put the bike up on, and if it wasn't, I know that Wheeldock stands behind their product.

Lol... That's exactly what I was thinking. Why would anyone have both stands....
