    5. Front Wheel drive also adds to stability Suspension Tom Burkland a number of years ago attached LVDTs to suspension and found that under 200 mph there is no need for a suspension. The spring rate of the tyres would suffice to absorb any One Speed Belt Driven Two miles to accelerate, pushed to speed, infinite variabliity with electric motor Aluminum front and rear wheels, we have a tyre on the front Front Wheel drive also adds to stability Suspension Tom Burkland a number of years ago attached LVDTs to suspension and found that under 200 mph there is no need for a suspension.
