Interesting that it has an e stand...
Rather than directly influence the controller’s output with the radio signal, a mass shift was used to simulate a rider leaning forward and back.I think it simulates "e-stand" with a physically shifting weight, rather than doing true "e-stand" with software only.

Not much info to go on, so I could be wrong here.

It looks like it is just doing the basic reverse pendulum thing, with a servo at the top with a weight attached to the servo horn...

If they had put the post in the center of the platform, it would not look like it is trying to do e-stand.
