My Puma with all the fancy seating and lead is 96kg

Are you sure?
Two group24 batts is 26kg each, Two motors is around 26 together. So thats 78kg alone! And theres no wheels or frame or seating or actuators, control system, etc yet?

Hmm.. Its been a few weeks since I looked but those are the numbers my PA wrote down. I'll check tomorrow at the hospital (don't have a power-pack for my scales yet).

I think you might be in for a shock! If you look at the chassis tag, it has the weight in KG on it, with the specific batteries it was delivered with, usually 60Ah. So it might be a few kg heavier than it says.

My salsa says 185kg, the Storm 4 explore was 190kg... My own lithium BM2 is way way way less. Well under half of that. Because no seating options, stripped to basics, 50lb saved on lithium over lead alone. Suspension and swing arms binned in favour of fat tyres. A big pile of other stuff thrown away...
