=U
 * Why it works = (example: to be inspired look at bicyclying science, david gordon wilson)
 * torque and power
 * transmission
 * center of gravity relationship to terrain
 * steering mechanisms (ackerman - why)
 * terrain (mud vs hard ground, why / effect on power etc)
 * efficiency (how to know and measure whether it is working as planned)
