Hyst Reverse is just like double-tapping the brake (while stopped) to switch to reverse gear. A full-speed reverse gear, just the same as drive, except the other direction. And you are in full control the whole time, no magic.
I agree that esk8 is quite fun yes. However in the 7 years I’ve been building and riding I’ve never come upon a situation where I needed the reverse function. Which is why I asked earlier about situations others enjoy using it. Thanks for your input though
