Here is a picture of our pop-up bike shop operation. We show up at the farmers market and some special events through out the summer. We haul everything in the Surly trailer. 2 stands, lightweight camping tables,canopy etc. This year I used an electric asset, last year I did the whole summer without electric assist.
Best regards and Happy pedaling!

Hi,
We've started to offer basic 'health checks' (gear and brake tune ups mainly, plus diagnosing major issues and signposting to servicing/fixes outside the scope of these checks) from a mobile rig Previously carried a Park Tools stand under one arm and had all tools in an army rucksack and cycled to events - not ideal though for my back (and couldn't ask volunteers to do the same really!)
I modified a broken trolley I found on the street & made a mini tool rack from leftover trolley tubing, broken broom handle and a bit of aluminium plate Also affixed another plate to the bottom of the Park Tools allen key holder to make a benchmounted holder All the tools fit in the Park Tools box as shown Gloves and lube, folder, first aid kit, rags, etc carried in the army rucksack Trailer easily carries two workstands and tools, could probably carry 3 stands with no problem Added detail of the hitch if useful...
Maybe a smaller scale than what you're doing? I wanted to keep things simple, also, we have very limited storage space in a high crime area - this 'trolley trailer' can be bought inside and stands upright, taking up very little room at the back of our workshop This design also allows us to bring our signage stand and cable it on site (making the stand able to used on windy days)
