“I like this bike a lot, but the kickstand looks like it would be a skid hazard in turns hanging down so low. Does it go any closer to the bike frame or is that as high as it goes?”

I own a SWFT FLEET ebike (purchased from my local BB location) and recommend checking and tightening ALL pre-assembled mechanical connectors (nuts/bolts) including brake mounts, rear axle, seat mounts and kickstand before use. Seriously...that's experience talking. When properly tightened, the kickstand does not sag and the pedal would hit the ground before the kickstand (taking corners that low in unnecessary and not recommended, not to mention dangerous and idiotic). Just for appearance's sake I'd like the stand to snap up tighter to the frame too, but it poses no interference as is. The factory kickstand is adjustable in length and you will probably find it works best if lengthened 1 or 2 positions and functions perfectly fine if the bike is left in stock condition...no baskets, no racks, no baby seats, etc. I've already replaced the factory kickstand with a center-mount two-leg stand as the factory stand was too wobbly with loaded panniers.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The kickstand length is adjustable with a set screw in the back, The kickstand is mounted to the frame, with a single bolt to a steel plate, that is very weak and will bend, changing the kickstand angle. You my need to bend the plate back to level it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.My kickstand rusted out in less than 10 months.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hey there! The kickstand placement cannot be adjusted however, it snaps in place to the bike so you shouldn't experience any issues while riding.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You'd have to be getting dangerously low to get the kickstand to skid. I've not personally encountered issues with the kickstand.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I haven’t skid and take some pretty sharp corners
