I suppose the reason for needing a seatpost is to clamp on your stand. E-bikes get heavy, like 30kgs / 65lbs isn't at all rare, I wonder how if thats good for a seatpost?

Removable battery is as good as a removable power cable right?

Seatposts support hundreds of pounds of human flesh also, so the weight usually isn't the concern. But if your bike looks like more of a motorcycle, it's probably not going into my work stand.

On the point about the power cable, this is more directed at hub Drive motors. If I can't disconnect your motor to remove your wheel, I'm not going to fix your flat tire.
