Like what you would use for a car engine, but for a bike engine.

No wheels though.

My super low budget stand. Just needed a coping saw, scrap wood, and cardboard to make a pattern. No, it doesn't have wheels or allow you to spin the motor upside down but it worked for me.

Great idea.  Another id would be to find a used crap frame for your bike and cut the tubes and have someone weld a stand.
