How fast can i3 go in reverse

[Blue20]

Just a crazy thought as I was driving home today.....as i3 uses a single speed electric motor, the motor should be able to go in reverse as fast as forward. Did anyone tried full speed in reverse and see what is the 0-100km time? of course going in reverse will have to deal with added air resistance due to the body shape, and asymmetric tire pattern. It would make a good car chase movie scene :-o

It's speed limited - here in Top Gear US they did a test of how fast they could go in reverse - Season 4, Episode 7
One of them hacked to go faster in reverse...

I've tried and think it limited to 16mph can't be sure as i was looking the wrong way.
