**Larger Rear Wheels**

[smoove7410]

I understand that the rear wheels will be 15 and 16 inches. I don't understand why they can't be larger? The vehicle would look so much better with matching front and rear wheels. Before, it was a matter of the in wheel electric motors not fitting properly, but now with only one motor and a differential, I don't understand why it can't be done. I really hate the look of the way too small rear wheels....almost ruins it all for me. :cry: Obviously, the smaller rear wheels will be cheaper to purchase from a manufacturer, but stepping up to an 18 inch rear wheel would not be too much more.

One of the 'problems/challenges' with larger REAR wheels is also having the body clear the Power Pod during 45* tilts. I'm sure it can be done, but it would radically change the design, look, visibility, and room in the rear 1/3 of the vehicle. Not an impossibility, but for sure another LARGE delay in getting the Vv to PRODUCTION.

^^Very true. I think it could be done, though, with just changing the shape of the upper rear portion fo the pod for clearance. THis would not drastically alter interior space. Hopefully they consider this, or after the v1, the v2 or whatever other vehicle that leans comes out, will incorporate this.
