Can I flip my bike upside down to do maintenance work?

[Silver Surfer]

Hi all,

Fairly new to this hobby. I Installed a 80cc motorized kit from amazon on a pacific cruiser.

My back tire came loose and I was wondering if I can flip my bike on the ground to do maintenance work? Will that mess anything up?

I don't think that will mess anything up, but these tanks don't seal well, so you'll probably make a mess. Just spend the money for a dual legged stand that will lift the back off the ground

Take the gas tank off or empty it first if your gonna flip the bike over
Solution is to get a Center stand

Here is the center stand I use for my bike...very stable works great as my bike weighs in at 80 or 90 pounds.

Here it is holding up my bike...Been using it on two different bikes now for at least 7 years that I can remember.

I bought a center stand for my bike from a local bike shop. It wasn't long enough or sturdy enough to hold the bike up. Where do I get a good one that'll work good?

It is the same one you see in my bike pics above your posting...I have transferred it from a broken bike frame to this one and have been using it for at least 5 years that I can remember...My bike weighs in at somewhere between 80 to 90 pounds so I guess you could call it a Solid piece of work...lol.

I also have that kickstand. I went with the heavy duty ebike version. It is a sick kickstand
