Weights & Measures

9 Mar 2010, 5:12pm
I thought this might be useful to the chaps still building - It may be of interest to other owners as well - but here are the figures that VOSA recorded for the Gooster:

Weights & Distances:

Wheelbase (mm) = 2620
Distance from datum point to Axle 1 (mm) = 170
Centre of gravity height (mm) = 310

Kerb weight - Axle 1 (kg) = 392
Kerb weight - Axle 2 (kg) = 424
Weight with driver - Axle 1 (kg) = 418
Weight with driver - Axle 2 (kg) = 482

Design weight - Axle 1 (kg) = 550
Design weight - Axle 2 (kg) = 700
Design gross weight (kg) = 1250

Loads:

Passengers (2), Distance from datum point (mm) = 2100
Luggage (2), Distance from datum point (mm) = 3020
