That bothered me the first time I read Ringworld, and it bothered me when I read it again. This sounds like the skycycles are moving at a steady rate, which means they're NOT accelerating.
Acceleration involves an increase in speed. With steady acceleration, they'd soon be racing out of control.
I wish I could have edited that.
