Feedback Sports RAKK 2.0 E Storage Stand Review
An effective, collapsible, and easy to use storage and charging stand able to fit e-bikes of all shapes and sizes.
Even when considering e-bikes with kickstands, a significant amount of storage space can be wasted by the bike’s natural sideways lean. If your apartment or garage is already a tight fit, you may want to consider a storage option that takes up less space.
Feedback Sports produces a variety of storage options, including the e-bike-specific Rakk 2.0 E storage stand, to keep your bike(s) stable and organized.
The Rakk 2.0 E features a steel base with a small footprint, a V-shaped wheel slot, and a spring-loaded swing arm with an adjustable wheel pulley. It can hold e-bikes weighing up to 75 lbs with wheels ranging from 20”-29” in diameter (and technically even 16” with an optional adapter). It can also accommodate tires from 23mm to 4.5” wide!
A charger can be secured to the stand on a textured tray with a velcro strap to make recharging an e-bike easier. The Rakk 2.0 E also comes with two magnetic attachments with zip-tie slots to connect and route cables, keeping them clean and above the floor.
We tested the Feedback Sports Rakk 2.0 E Storage Stand to see if it lived up to the hype. Continue reading below to learn more about it!
- The Rakk 2.0 E accommodates bikes of nearly any size and style, with the ability to adapt to tires from 20” to 29” in diameter and 23mm to 4.5” wide.
- Staying organized is easy with a textured tray that securely holds a bike’s charger and two magnets to route cables.
- The stand is tailor-made for most e-bikes, with a high weight capacity of up to 75 lbs.
- Bikes can be stored with either their front or rear wheels.
- It’s compatible with a Wheel Adapter that can accommodate smaller 16” diameter wheels.

- While we liked that the stand could fold flat, we’d have preferred a more robust mechanism and a quick release for the wheel pulley on the swing arm.

Feedback Sports RAKK 2.0 E Storage Stand Review – Setup
The wheel pulley can be mounted in one of three configurations; the lowest is intended for bikes with 20” wheels, the second fits 22”-26” wheels, and the third accommodates e-bikes with 27.5”-29” wheels. To change the pulley’s position, a bolt needs to be removed and a guide on the swing arm aligned with the intended configuration before reattachment.
Once installed, a charger can be secured to the charger tray with an included velcro strap. Grip tape is provided to help keep it in place, though it seemed to work best on chargers with rubber feet. The RAKK 2.0 E includes two magnets that can be attached to charging cables with zip ties and then mounted to the stand itself as desired.
All in all, I thought the process was simple, and an assembly guide video is available on the RAKK 2.0 E’s FAQ page on Feedback’s website. A quick-release mechanism would make changing the wheel pulley’s position easier, but assuming that most users will use the RAKK for a single bike, it should not be a significant concern.
Feedback Sports RAKK 2.0 E Storage Stand Review – Use
I tested the RAKK with a selection of e-bikes with as much variation in weight, wheel size, and tire width as possible. This included models weighing between roughly 40 lbs to 85 lbs (which, to be clear, is beyond the stand’s advertised weight capacity). I also tested bikes with 20-29” wheels and tires ranging from 40mm to 4.5” in width.
In all cases, the stand felt stable and held each bike securely. With the charger in place, there was inevitably some portion of its length to manage when not connected to the bike, but the magnetic cable attachments were an effective solution for routing the cables.
Once the tray, the charger, and the bike were in place, the stand felt like a true charging station instead of simply a parking spot.
Feedback Sports RAKK 2.0 E Storage Stand Review – Teardown
In its flat state, the stand measures approximately 17.5” W x 20.625” L x 4.5” H (at the wheel pulley).
Overall, the process is straightforward, but I found the release pin on the bottom of the arm to be somewhat difficult to use. I would have preferred a more robust release mechanism with easier access, but the process got easier with repeated use.
The stand is functional, sturdy, simple to use, and generally well-designed, though not without its flaws. It seems best when set up and left in place instead of being collapsed and unfolded again regularly, but that also makes sense with its included charger tray and cable routing magnets. All in all, we give it two thumbs up!
