Center of mass.
And how does this torque turn into linear Force?
Have you noticed?
Did you expect anyone to answer yes to this question?
The weight of the board is not related to whether you fall off the back
Personally, I don’t shift my weight at all when I ride. a rigid car is a good comparison
How do you turn then?

better yet, increase your leverage and keep the weight the same. (longer drag car, and longer race skateboards )
and then go for downforce wings at the end of that leverage. (like drag cars)
then… if you still have more thrust to give, you can consider the less effecient means of countering the rotational torque of adding more mass.
you do tho. you just don’t do it anywhere near enough to need an extra water bottle.

There’s no need for a water bottle and not an advantage We.can lean. we can shift the mass as we lean forward. The limit of how far we can lean being determined only by the ability of grip tape and shoes to stick, or could use bindings.

That’s because your motors are weak.

I’ve ridden boards that have so much torque they just lift off the ground. A weight strapped to the deck would help. There’s no reason to hold it in ur hand.
Don’t forget the strength / material of the ankles (glass or otherwise)
I’ve never seen ankles break from acceleration
