well, I know with the controller I'm working on at Synkromotive, its got inputs for a tach/hall sensor. So if you had an accelerometer, you would know how the weight is distributed due to the vector feedback. If would tell you if there's acceleration that is parallel to the bike, or if its a little forward of the rider, this can be immediately sent to the motor to put it in regen, thus braking and making that vector more parallel.
You can also sense if the bike is starting to slip, if the speed of the bike (even around a curve) does not equal the speed of the rear tire, back off until it matches. This can be done many many times faster than the reaction time of a rider (10's of ms). It could stop you from spinning out. Total active braking. Its like ABS and a limited slip diff, but with an electric motor. Just remember to turn it off if you want to do a burnout :) But yeah, its something I've thought of, and until the final rev of the board is done, I won't know. If there's interest, I can do some testing. I would only need to cobble a board with an accelerometer together to interface. Its going to require lots of vector math, so maybe I'll crack my engineering books open. On another note, we got the Pocket PC Dashboard working... No more shitty analog meters, this is all PDA baby. I'll try to take some pictures! It reads all the important stuff through the isolated serial port of the Controller.
