The scooter does balance by itself on grass (it dampens the movement). Sometimes it does start to oscillate as it is tuned to have the weight of a person on the platform.
Gearbox backlash is not significant enough to cause problems. New riders notice it more but only for a few minutes as they get used to riding.

Nope. If anything fails I fall off. It hasn't happened yet.
