I did a search and couldn't find it, but I thought that I even mentioned it in a post one time, but hey, getting old sucks the big one...  I remember seeing a video somewhere on YouTube that at the beginning of it there was an overlaid tech sheet that listed the weight distribution of the M3W. I'm thinking it was like 69% front and 31% rear, but I would not bet my life on it. Has anyone weighed theirs front/rear to check out what the weight distribution is? Can someone help me out on this? Thanks in advance.
Dan

I know its forward bias, but my guess would be that it is less forward bias than that. Probably closer to 60/40, but I dont know if they have ever checked the bias on one of these.

My recollection is that it's close to 50/50 with two passengers, but I don't recall where I saw that...

With two bodies in the car the handling improves and the rear doesn't break free unless you work at it. I refuse, however, in carrying 3 50# sacks of sand with me as they are lousy conversationalists and just no fun.
What's your mileage? Who cares. Is it practical? See #1. What happens when it rains? You get wet.

Swissghost/Andy just PM'd me with his police derived weights with him sitting the drivers seat. - 360kg / 794# front - 220kg / 485# back That works out to a single up driver distribution of: 61% front 39% rear Total weight one up is 580kg / 1279# That's about what I remembered, I think... Thanks again Andy for your valuable information. At least it is to me!
