Isn't the biggest risk that you can't shift your weight enough in emergency braking? The stopping distance must be horrible.

I never found the braking distance to be a problem. To brake you basically just sit down and it kicks the motor into reverse. Because it uses the motor to rebalance the other way its much faster than if it were something like a disc brake.
