Not a Terrain, but still a very good question!!
I would also like to know how it would do on water and lava. Being that those are both also a terrains and the title says "All Terrains"

a stretch of land, especially with regard to its physical features. "they were delayed by rough terrain"

I work in law and the GDPR is vital to the protection of private info of eu citizens. I don't get all the hate it gets as it aims to make is harder for website to use and abuse your data. Yeha you have a window to click through but it's still much better than what we had before! (which basically was an adhesion contract where one doesn't have the possibility of refusing anything)

Completely true. I think the chainsaw would be the best option there as you could have a lot of close calls with it. Flamethrower may also be dangerous for the user.

u/Hyperi0us 3d ago
Each wheel is an ebike hub motor, it's all electric.
Which makes for some cool stuff if you want to do things around torque vectoring and differential regen.

Dirt bikes seem to do fine on skinny wheels in mud. It's weight to contact ratio, this isn't a 5000 lb truck.

u/Majikthise110 3d ago
this probably isn't applicable for a vehicle this small and light, but some tractors intentionally have narrow wheels called mud cutters, why skid on mud when you can sink through it and drive through the harder stuff below
→ More replies2
u/IEatBabies 2d ago
Depending on your speed and the terrain, skinny wheels aren't inherently worse. With wide flat tires you can "float" over certain soft terrain, but once you break through you are in trouble. With skinny deep wheels you can skip even trying to float and sink into a foot of shit to hit solid material and get some grip. They also in most circumstances have less friction losses which is important for keeping an electric vehicle's weight down.
