turning e-bike upside down

[paul]

last time i got a flat i had to loosen all the controls to move them so they didn't get crushed then take off the speedometer and anything else on the handlebars that might get destroyed when flipping the bike upside down. another one of the nice things about an electric bicycle is you can turn it upside down to work on and not worry about gas and all that stuff. anyway i took pvc pipe fittings cut a notch in them lined with a little duct tape so they were snug. i get a flat or want to turn the bike upside down to work on i just slap them on and they keep the bars just far enough off the ground to protect every thing. they actually work very well

obviously the batteries arent an issue.i guess most are removeable?
i know little about the electrics.

mine battery slips right off however i have a small bag on the back of bike on top of battery with tools and junk in, so i flip and it sits on that

If you turn the battery upside down, won't all the electricity leak out?

not a bad idea to protect everything i normaly just use the floor jack ans a small strap to fiddle around with wheels since mine is a 2 stroker
