That engine is going to burn through that tiny tank of fuel is less than a minute..

with all that propulsion on one side... I seriously doubt you'd be able to ride straight... or even at all...

Yeah the problem with the scooter was that the thrust was vectored slightly downward. As long as the thrust isn't giving lift then it should work.
