You are right. I did omit those. Maybe that extra weight is why the GEM has 72 volt batteries, but only has a maximum range of 40 miles with the 9-8 volt batteries.

The 4 wheel hydraulic brakes is a good selling point, but I wonder if there is a significant difference when you are travelling only 20 mph?
