Now, wouldn't this be an interesting addition to a maxi-type scooter?

I agree!

We used to have flexible sidecars in the UK as a sidestep to the rules which allowed 'starter' licence holders to ride motorcycles up to 250cc - in fact my RD250LC two stroke came with one fitted. I rode it once, popped a wheelie and nearly ended up in a wall because of the pull to the left.

Yes, the inertia of accelerating or decelerating would steer dramatically!

There's a trip down Memory Lane!  Recall those well, though never had one as I already had my full bike licence.
