I think it depends on the bike and the rider's position. My MTB has a high bottom bracket so my body and feet are further from the ground than when on my folder or road bikes. My body is more horizontal on my MTB and road bikes than when I'm riding my Mocha so I think the more upright seating position (of the Mocha) allows for a quicker transition from a riding to standing position as when preventing a fall on slippery roads.
