Some weight specs now that the train is done

I weighed each pair of wheels with a scale under each of the back wheels then the front wheels.
Here’s the picture with no people and then +400 lb at ~24″ aft (L≈70″):

  • Rear (measured): 465 + 450 = 915 lb
  • Front (measured): 414 + 378 = 792 lb
  • Total curb weight: ≈ 1,707 lb
    Still runs great even adding two people (the 400lb)
    GVWR as stock is 2100lbs. I’m gonna be right there..
    I added more weight than I thought!

Just curious what’s Stock curb weight on your Gem. I know now it’s 2100lbs

According to what I could find on Google curb weight was 1280lbs. I bought it used last year so I can only go by what I can look up. So the new curb weight is 1707lbs. the 400 is when two people get on board.

I don’t post a ton of YouTube stuff, and almost never do any “setup”. My YouTube handle is plasmadrive56, if you want to see more.
