Goofs
When Olive is too heavy for the sidecar, the rear motorcycle wheel lifts up. The combination would not have tipped up as Olive was sitting over the side wheel and as there are only three wheels in total, there is no other way in which it could have tipped.

When the sidecar separates from the motorcycle, the extra wheel that allows it to keep going can be seen.
