A lot of electric motorcycles have limiters on how fast you can turn the throttle to prevent riders who are used to ICE motors from throwing themselves off the bike with a massive wheelie due to the instant torque. I can't believe none of them thought to counteract the rotational force with an above-centre-of-mass propellor. Ingenious!
