Is it necessary to install a main stand for motorcycles?
1 Answers
It is necessary to install a main stand for motorcycles. It is generally used for maintenance and repairs. Below are the relevant explanations: 1. Side stand: The direction of force is upward, or vertical, not lateral. Additionally, the tilt angle of the vehicle is limited, and the upward force required on the side is not significant. The side stand supports the side of the vehicle, and the further outward it is, the less force is needed, which is based on the lever principle. 2. Support characteristics: The main stand is stable and can lift both the front and rear wheels off the ground. However, it is less convenient to use compared to the side stand but offers greater stability. Motorcycles, driven by gasoline engines and steered by handlebars for front-wheel turning, are two or three-wheeled vehicles known for their lightweight, agility, and speed. They are widely used for patrols, passenger and cargo transport, and also serve as sports equipment.
