Wait so this particular failure mode occurs if you’re in a forward lean when it approaches its top speed? And as soon as it isn’t able to push hard enough to offset the lean the front dips so that it catches the edge and the rider flips off of it?
If simply exceeding the top speed leads to catastrophic failure, and there’s literally no way to safely engineer in a speed limiter, that’s an inherently dangerous design.
