The electric starter as reverse has been used in production rides. Older golf carts come to mind. Something else you mind find interesting if you don't know is older two strokes sometimes you would have to shut the engine off, push a reverse button, and then the engine would crank backwards for reverse. Going back forward was exact opposite.
I ride in the woods often making my own trail and use reverse all the time. On my trail/mud truck we back out enough stuck I have a winch on the rear of it as well as the front. Electric starter wouldn't have enough torque out there or spin the buggy tires fast enough to keep the lugs clean/grabbing in mud or grab and jump over a stump.
