I stumbled upon this while trying to find information
about Flickstand. Apparently, it's no longer manufactured.
I bought this alternative:

It works VERY well, even better than Flickstand! Easier
and more convenient to use. I have it mounted on my Trek
Step-thru frame.
The downside is it's a little expensive, but it's worth it.
IIRC, the Flickstand had the additional benefit of stopping
the front wheel's rotation, making the bike even more stable.
I stop the front wheel (but don't lock the steering) when
parked by use of a sort of stair-stepped wedge thing crammed
into the upper side of the squeezed brake lever. Blackburn
used to make them.

I make my own, varying the design depending on the brake lever.
Lacks a feature. Yours won't flip down and lock while riding
no hands. "a little expensive, but it's worth it"
