I have just put the rear seats back in the Moke - so it is now 15kg heavier. How will this impact performance.

It will go from slovenly to speeds only matched by glacial creep .

I don't think it will affect performance at all.
15kg extra in a three wheeled moke won't change a thing.

In my mind i can only see it as a preformance enhancer. sure the power to weight ratio will be affected my consider the extra aerodynamic downforce created by the seats. Your enrty and mid corner speeds wil be greatly enhanced :lol:

Cheers

Be cautious adding passengers to the seats, You may not have enough front traction to get going.

On a more serious note... for WSID Drags I took the passenger seat, spare wheel, fire extinguisher, rear seat cushion and rear sear backing out of the car and just ran my seat only. No idea how many kgs this was but I swear to high heaven she went harder...
