I think that's exactly it. With a centre axle you would be more likely to put weight at the back. With the current design, you're almost guaranteed to put it forward.

Imagine yourself on a hill and your bike being picked up from the back and being thrown into traffic



OP - are those touring bars I see on that bike?
