Oooh, another thing is that a heavy enough load may imbalance the vehicle enough to make it unsafe on turns. Anyone see anything else? permalink fedilink source hideshow 14 child comments replies: [–] chocrates@piefed.world 39 points 1 month ago* (1 child) Yeah, non uniform suspension or adaptive suspension might be important. Probably not a good idea for 70 miles per hour but it might be a kick ass farm truck permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blarghly@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago That was my first thought. Either the load will make it uneven, or the lack of load will. Also, very weird wind resistence at speed. But fine at low speed permalink fedilink source parent [–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 14 points 1 month ago Large enough load would escape when braking. No wall up front. Add one and visibility goes to shit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BeUnique@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 month ago Heavy enough people? Take a 300lb person in the front and a 200lb person in the back and you're gonna have a bad time making a quick turn permalink fedilink source parent [–] pigup@lemmy.world 1 point 1 month ago A enough load would block the entire left window. the driver would be unable to see to their left. permalink fedilink source parent [–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 1 point 1 month ago With a big enough load, the driver's entire left-side visibility could be blocked. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tartas1995@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 1 month ago Wouldn't wind resistance be a problem that higher speeds? Like with 30km/h, it probably doesn't matter but 90km/h? Idk. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 point 1 month ago My first thought was weight distribution, but I imagine there's suspension technology these days to account for that. permalink fedilink source parent
