I bought the Rockbros Brompton kickstand from Amazon.
It comes with additional bolts and screws and stuff you will need.
I have no knowledge of bicycles and I installed it by myself.
The kickstand is a little wobly maybe. There are better ones, I'm sure but this one was very affordable.
I chose Rockbros because I follow their Instagram and they have lots of affordable bicycle solutions.

But why? The bike can stand on its own.
It’s super useful! Specially if you’ve got the rack and using a bag. I have the Vincita Big Nash and the kickstand makes it super stable and accesible
Really useful on the G line. Wouldn’t bother on the 16 bike though!
I have the Vincita kickstand. It’s wobbly but it’s useful when you have something light on the back or need to do something real quick and don’t want to fold to hold the bike.
Looks good and a lot handier than constantly flipping the bike in half
If you like it then that’s all that matters, also most are wobbly they’re usually just rebranded anyway most come from the same manufacturer so don’t stress it.
Next you can fit an ashtray on it! 😜
I’ve been using this same kick stand since getting my bike last year and it makes everything so much easier!
It’s impossible to flip the rear wheel under when using the rear cargo rack, which is pretty annoying. So this solves a real issue.
I’m not a fan of this implementation, though. It sticks out far for daily use, and is very far back from the center of gravity considering I almost always have at least a few kg in the front basket (lock, water, camera).
I’ve seen people with some sort of prop they set under the pedals, interesting, but I don’t trust that, either.
I’m still on the lookout for good options, but for now I just deal with having to prop it up, and sometimes I’ll strap it.
If it works for you, good on ya, though.
Don’t forget to buy mirrors and maybe two training wheels so you don’t fall. Better be safe!
Where did u get this one from x
I like that, perfect for a commuter bike
Are your front forks and handlebars black too? My main body is green like yours, but orange on the rear triangle and front forks & bars
Kickstands are so great, really light, very discrete, and quiet indoors too. Faster than half fold and uses zero hands vs two hands. Loads of situations where it’s night n day. Not actually used the half fold since getting my kickstand.
I got the same one. My only complaint is thst my bike tips over when I put my backpack in the front.
