Assuming a constant acceleration, which it is not, that's 0.74 g's.

I.e. the driver has to pull horizontally on his handlebar with a factor of 0.74 times his complete weight. Considering that the torque curve varies, there must be a peak G that is much higher.

Of course, the seat helps too. But it muste be a good kick in the butt.

Practice lots of chin-ups before attempting a drive...
