Whoa!!!! That would scare the hell out of me.  It does sound unusual, kinda like an RC car.

Glad to see they got the front brake figured out...and it was a little bit funny. Not because the guy got hurt but maybe ironic is a better word that the creator/designer couldn't handle it.

Subway cars have 2 150 HP electric motors and weigh 75,000 lbs. Now you put one on a dyno and it has 600 ft lbs of torque at the shaft.
