Allow Onewheel riders to set custom pushback behavior

Allow Onewheel riders to set custom pushback behavior

The Issue

Every rider has their own style and needs, including safety thresholds.  

For younger or inexperienced riders, having a pushback occur sooner is a great way to keep them safe, while for more experienced riders, riding with the nose of the board in the air at higher speeds (above 15mph) is both uncomfortable and unnecessarily dangerous.

Some people even claim that the stronger pushback of the XR is preventing them from going over 15mph, and several have reported accidents related to the sudden and strong pushback of the XR.

We understand that since the behavior has been changed with an application update in the past, that it must be possible to make this something that can be set like the 'shaping' modes that are already included in the application.

Please update the application to include a configurable pushback, with settings for speed threshold and angle of pushback.
