Mine weighs 356 kgs. But I do have an extra battery, reverse drive system, electrical gear change, adjustable and comfortable seats, extra fuel pumps and more extra's. I guess if you build it as light as possible you could go to about 300 kgs. Lighter wheel hubs are also available at RTR. Sent from my S4 Active. I didn't expect to get so many answers  . Do you now how much the lighter RTR wheel hubs cost and what the weight saving is? Regards, Tom |

The RD lightweight hubs+uprights are now standard with the kit, they are roughly 4kg per side lighter.
Hispec also make a far better quality but but more expensive option, this is what I use on my tR1ke.

The best weight saving is putting the driver on a firm diet....  |
