    There is a speed where pressing the Start button will make it go into Park and a higher speed where it won't.
    I wonder what the cut off point is?

    Yes but I don't know what speed it is. I made the mistake of pushing the Power Button on my Gen2 while it was still rolling once, it make a rather resounding clunk as it went into park and shuddered to a halt, fortunately no damage. It is probably only 1 or 2 MPH but after that I've always made sure I was completely stopped. Going over 10 MPH or so it would also be safe.
