OK you may be on to something with boots. Outriggers are cool, though. I've always liked the idea, and the Monotracer sports a nice set. As for the linear comment, if you go back to the Monotracer movies, there's a clip taken where a racer loses it on a wide turn. The bike slides itself around, rear-end first, on its side. Of course, the engine being in the rear, the vehicle is just following the heaviest end, and the motion is linear and predictable.
As for electrical or gas fires, we see vans and buses on fire every day in all parts of the world. As for being inside a structure while in a crash or a slide, it's a good idea. I put my head in a helmet, a structure if you will.
Actually I envision a monocoque structure for me and my fat head, a strong, lightweight vehicle outrigged like the Monotracer, with a 4KW or larger motor coupled to the same BMW tranny. With the choices of batteries, the vehicle could even weigh less than the BMW Monotracer.
