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!

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.

This one is a TV interview from 2 months ago. The last half is while it is dark outside.[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRLB3pvr3lI](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRLB3pvr3lI)  
This is just a short without the TV crew.. shot with a cell phone. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzklnfNM6A](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptzklnfNM6A).  
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.
