The front still house all the heavy stuff like the engine, battery, transmission, and etc, but engineers put it as far back as possible...relocating the centre of gravity all the way back...help evening out the weight ratio.

Thanks, this is the kind of thing I was looking for, not a debate about 45 this 47 that. That picture of the frame is pretty cool.
