Standing Up on ebike: safe?

[LuLu5]

Hi All,
New to bike forum..Is it safe to stand when riding an e-bike? I ride upright and concerned that it may be difficult reaching gears/controls if I'm am standing up.
Secondly, how do I get responses by email? Didn't see a place for that in my account.
Thank you!

I stand up frequently, LuLu. I actually don’t have any problem reaching the controls when I’m doing that. Of course, I have to bend over slightly to reach controls. If your bike has a throttle, you might find that to be convenient for occasional corrections while you’re standing (and not pedaling, of course).

I too stand up quite a lot especially over rough patches of ground.

I got the motor so I wouldn't have to stand up on hills. Ugh, the bad old days when I would crest the hill at 6 mph, standing while pumping the pedals for most of it.

Like teskow, I still stand when I see bumpy stretches coming,

I've stood on my pedals and waved my arms in the air.

Is it safe??
