Weight and balance of eGolf

Included are the original posts to ease comparison.

Measured weights no fuel
Borrowed some digital scales.

Lbs                     L        R     2674       
  F                    897    750     147    62%  
  R                    502    525     -23    38%   
Difference        395    225               
                         52%   48%

W/153lb Driver    L        R    2827   
  F                      953    774    179    61%
  R                      555    545      10    39%
Difference          398    229   
                          53%    47%

Best current guess is the car will gain 500lbs to 3200 lbs total w/o the driver.  Most of the weight gain would be in front of the rear wheels under the rear seat with batteries.
