Q: Weights

[Guffe]

Sorry if this is at the wrong forum, but I didn't know where else I could ask this.

Question is: what's the total weight, fully loaded weight, of Syclone?
I have found the curb weight 3613 lbs. but I haven't found any documentation that says the fully loaded weight, passangers 80 kg (176lbs) each + full cargo.

Any official information about these would be nice. I am planning to import first Syclone to Finland, and I would very much like to register it as a van (the import tax would be significantly lower) and there are regulations that total weight minus curb weight must be over 525kg (1157lbs).

-Guffe, no syclone - yet.

some fat people, 20 gallons of gas, and the load capacity of 500 lbs.. its math.

at your specs, 352lb (people) + 500 (bed load capacity) + 130 (6.5lbs/gallon of gas) is 982lbs.

I found some interresting information from the driveability_service_reference_manual.pdf at sportmachines.com.

It says at the part B 'Unique driveability characteristics' subpart 'Towing': "The Syclone is designed for towing total weights up to 1100 pounds. The total approved gross weight of this vehicle is 4800 punds."
That last part is the interresting information. (gross weight) 4800 lbs. - (curb weight) 3613 lbs. = 1187 lbs. what makes 539.55 kilograms.

Is that gross weight for real? If it is right, then I don't have any problems. Just needed to find Syclone to buy...

-Guffe. please, sell me a Syclone!!
