There's no question that a diamond frame geometry would be subject to less stress, but I think the susceptibility of a U-frame to flex and break depends to a great extent on the weight distribution of the rider between the front and rear wheels. In the case of the zport, the rider's weight is biased heavily over the rear wheel, so the bending moment on the frame should be minimal.
We'll see.
