    Weight distribution: 53 % Front tires / 47 % Rear tires

    R r - the distance between the center of mass and the rear tires,

    R f - the distance between the center of mass and the front tires

    0.47 m · Rr = 0.54 m · Rf / : m

    0.47 Rr = 0.54 Rf

    Rr + Rf = 2.46 m

    Rr = 2.46 - Rf

    0.47 (2.46 - Rf) = 0.54 Rf

    1.1562 - 0.47 Rf = 0.53 Rf

    0.47 Rf + 0.53 Rf = 1.1562

    R f = 1.1562 m
