Had my friend with me last time and he held the bike up; if I had been alone was prepared to use my shoes for a "stand" to protect the display (I use "regular" tires on mid-drives since they're being used off road).
This bike I'm converting has a double kickstand, so it will stand up on its own even with one tire removed, depending on which end has more weight on it.
It's also a steel frame and fork, so hopefully that will help it be not quite as harsh as an aluminum frame bike.
