side stand

A side stand is the foldable stand on the side of your scooter or moped that allows you to park the vehicle upright without it falling over. You fold it down with your foot, position the vehicle at an angle on the stand, and fold it back up when you ride away. It is an indispensable part for daily use.

When choosing a side stand, pay attention to the length (in centimeters) and the mounting system that fits your make and model — a stand for a Vespa Ciao is a different size than one for a Honda MT or a Chinese scooter. On this page, you will find side stands in various lengths and designs, including both original and suitable alternatives, for a wide range of brands.
