So a bicycle would fall under powered armor? ;P Conceptually I don't
think there is much difference from powered armor and vehicles ... hmmm
... what about fudging with whater chassis then for install a "seat" at 5
CF (6 - 1 [see Weight and Space restrictions pg 118 Rigger 2]) then say
that the standard Load represents the amount of additional wt that can be
carried and use the speed increase design option to represent increased
speed (from the wearer's walking movement rate)
:)
Just a though :)
