Nah most of the time you wouldn’t pedal it off the stand with a big load. You can’t really when the weight on the front is more than you, the rear wheel doesn’t touch the floor when you are seated.
Often people get caught out when they take the key out to change batteries (you can’t remove it unless the wheel is locked)- or if they are doing one of many drops and lock up to enter the building. Just rolling it off the stand with a big load can quite easily break a spoke or two.
