How do you store your bike?

[deronmoped]

I have a collection of E-bikes now and I gotten into straightening up things around my place. So I was thinking, is there a ideal way to store E-bikes. Some way that they would take up less room and be easier to get at. I was thinking of hanging them off the front wheel, but they are pretty heavy to lift to get the front wheel up and over a hook.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Kick the wife's stuff out of the garage. I've got his and hers garages, and the main garage, and still have the same problem. I used to have a path in the his garage to get to stuff, it's buried in bikes. In the main garage, I keep the two ebikes I ride the most, and two bikes my wife pedal rides. Wall hangers are ok, but only for the lightest of bikes, even mtb's are a bit heavy for the wall.

If you have the garage height, for my favorite Ebikes I used these HF bicycle lifts http://www.harborfreight.com/bicycle-lift-95803.html. Replace the cheesy rope though. Makes working on the bike easy as well.

You will need to make more space by getting rid of things either by selling or giving stuff away, my mailing address is sent in a pm for anything free e bike (bike) related

I just take over more of everyone else's space to make more room for new ebikes. The family van got kicked outside to the elements long ago. I've got at least 6-8 more ebikes to go before I have to kick one of the kids out of a bedroom, which will probably coincide nicely with a birthday, since my daughter will turn 18 in less than 10 months.

Bikes are linear except for handlebars and pedals. For storing bikes long term like for the off season and such and assuming one has some available floor space but to consolidate it, for all my bikes power assisted or not, I remove the pedals and turn the handlebars sideways at the stem. This allows them to nest to each other without pedals hanging up on spokes, scratching each other or tugging on cables that get tangled.

I am in the process of obtaining a small trailer for storing my bikes. The wife is getting impatient about the livingroom situation

Garage (or when at work, behind my desk).

I think dingo is right in my case.

I have plenty of room, just waaaay to much crap. I need to let go of some stuff that I have been hanging onto forever. Stuff that I never use. A friend of mine put it like this. Get rid of the stuff that is keeping you from enjoying what your really interested in doing.
