I found that having no batteries in the front box
of my E16 makes maneuvering in a foot deep of plowed snow, on an incline,
somewhat difficult to nearly impossible to turn from sideways on the incline to
up the slope; the front wheels just slide on the compacted snow. This was
while on a grassy area covered with plow compacted snow (do the Eskimos have a
word for that?). I definitely have to add some weight up there. The 150
lbs of batteries in the rear box worked fine with chains (and my 180lbs), on the
grass and the driveway.
Oh, the tires are (probably) original.
