What? That’s faster than track cycling world records! The 200m flying start record is 9.1s which translates to 79km/h. The makers of this device are proposing to let humans run faster than a world record track cyclist!

Maybe I got the unit conversions wrong. The theoretical maximum speed is shown to be on par with world record track cyclists.
