We were are 98 lbs excluding bumpers and battery. We expect to come in

1010 extrusions are relatively heavy at 0.51 lbs/linear foot. But they are unbeatable for strength, rigidity, and flexibility of the non-mechanical kind. We offset the frame weight by lots of lightening in areas where the main structural support comes from the frame.
