Exactly. If we dropped a cim per transmission this would automatically be 5.5lbs less. Also the spur gear style transmission is heavier than a dewalt. Additionally this frame has more metal than yours. It is true we could possibly shave ~1-2lbs out of the frame, but the amount of machining might not be worth it if we know well ahead of time that we will make weight. A ~30lb drivetrain is imo very light particularly with a 2 speed transmission and 2 cims.

I am working on an updated version that uses custom hubs in the wheels and that has some more details added and Ill work on getting it up soon.
