My friend has ordered two 700s staggered over the last couple months.
Both have had a kickstand mounted more to the rear.
Yeah, you could call it old news now. That post you replied to is a couple months old. Just days after that, I posted a picture of a 700 ST with a rear mounted kickstand here:

Then a couple days ago, a grey 700 XR with a rear-mounted kickstand was dropped off at my house by FedEx, and I was just riding it a short time ago. lol I'm glad they made this change before I ordered mine, and I beat the tariff price increase:
Kevin Dugger of Ride1Up stated on FB today, "China/US Trade War: E-Bike Tariffs of 25% are scheduled to return Sept 20th. Prices will be rising if nothing changes (for all companies). " Reference: https://www.facebook.com/groups/264729534163214/permalink/639820253320805/

So, if anyone is interested in any Ride1Up bike, buy it before March 10th to save $100.
