Gyroscopic forces are quite distinct from torque reaction. On motorcycles you would not normally notice gyroscopic forces, unless racing at modern speeds (over 200 mph at the top level).

FWIW even MotoGP has an electric race series. And there has been an electric TT for 9 years, now lapping at 120 mph but they only do one lap because of battery capacity. Top electric speeds must be near 200 mph now, on (closed) public roads.

50 E-Bikes though some may never make it into production of any volume. The French Postal Service seem to be using E-trikes in Cities like Vichy. Delivery vehicles are an obvious choice - and we did it years ago with Milk Floats. Lundun should lead the way, but Lundun does wot Lundun wants!
