These are common in Japan. In my memory, you must have a frame that is made in expectation that such a kickstand would be fitted. Those kickstands are very heavy, but then Hebie is heavy too. My anticipation is that a kickstand under the bottom bracket is better suited for different loads that you might put on a bicycle. Also the center mounted kickstand serves better as a universal workstand as you may lift either the front or rear wheel.
