Shouldn't the "thrust" be on the low side?

I'm never going back to training wheels.
I hated them even in 2d grade.

The tech being tested is the thruster, not the training wheels. |

Doesn’t seem like there would be enough thrust in that shot to have much effect.

Did you read the article. I thought the same thing until I read it. Why, yes I did. " you hear a loud hiss as your bike vents pressurized gas to counteract the slide and help right your bike." The visible gas release is on the high side in both photograph and video. In the video there is no visible movement of any gravel as surely there wold be with a gas release strong enough to help slightly raise a sliding motorcycle. |

One vector resisting centrifugal force and the other increasing downforce, And another vector sending the rider next to you into shallow Earth orbit. I don't know of any vehicle that uses rocket thrust on public roadways. Except maybe the Batmobile. |

In the video there is no visible movement of any gravel as surely there wold be with a gas release strong enough to help slightly raise a sliding motorcycle. They probably shouldn't have said, "help right your bike." It's clearly designed to give downforce and give back the lost traction. |
