Something would have to apply an equal but opposite force to keep the faceplant from happening... With an electric motor, all that's needed is to cut power and the motor itself becomes a brake - a stepper motor would give more precise control...

It would be interesting to see the internals on that thing...

I would not ride it in traffic for all the tea in China. But a dis-used airfield with a 10,000 ft. runway and I would love to have a go. However 140mph? Would have to see on the day.
