Electric Repair Stand 2.0

A 28 kg road bike on a manual stand asks the mechanic to lift it to working height twice; the same mechanic lifts a 65 kg e-bike to the same height fifteen times a day, six days a week. The back math doesn't work. The Unior Electric Repair Stand 2.0 lifts that 65 kg bike for you at the press of a button, parks it at the working height the mechanic actually wants, and clears the next bike from the queue without a recovery break.

This is the second-generation Unior electric stand, redesigned around a one-piece aluminum column with all wiring routed internally. Stable, clutter-free, and rated to lift bikes up to 70 kg (700 N).

How it works

The 2.0 lifts the bike via an endless-height drive; no preset stops, no fixed-position pin. Press the button (or step the foot pedal) and the column travels until you release; the automatic stopping system holds position. A knob-controlled travel limiter with memory returns the mechanic to a most-used working height without re-measuring. A built-in load display reads the bike's weight at every lift; the safety system halts the column on overload.

The clamp is the Unior Master Shop Repair Clamp 1693.1M, the same clamp specified across Unior's pro repair-stand line. Anti-slip jaws hold carbon and aluminum frames without coring tubes.

• Two-way control: button-panel and foot pedal.

Who it pays back for

The 2.0 is the right call for shops where the bench mechanic is lifting bikes more than ten times a day; high-volume retail service, e-bike-heavy service catalogs, and mechanics whose backs are starting to log the cost of repeated lifts. For a shop that turns four bikes a day and runs mostly road and gravel, a manual stand stays cost-justified.

Built in Zreče, Slovenia

Unior has been forging hand tools in Zreče since 1919, and sponsors professional road and mountain-bike race teams. The 2.0 is the V2 generation of the stand; the aluminum column, the updated control board, and the protocol that pairs with the wireless remote (1693EL.20) and the Height Extension Kit (1693EL.11) are V2-only features. Full user-serviceability and published repair instructions carry over from Unior's hand-tool line.

Pro tip from our mechanics

The 2.0's value is in workflow, not in lifting power per se. The lift saves a few seconds per bike; the consistent working height saves an hour a week per mechanic by removing the small posture corrections that compound over a shift. The electric stand sits at the top of the workshop-stand decision tree; whether it pays back for your shop depends on the lift cadence more than on the catalog mix: How to choose a bike repair stand →
