NASA’s original Lunar Roving Vehicle (LRV) is essentially a battery-powered four-wheeled rover used on the Moon in the last three missions of the American Apollo program (15, 16, and 17) during 1971 and 1972. What you may not know is that they were all built by Boeing, with each weighing in at 460-pounds and having a maximum payload mass of 1,080-pounds. They were transported to the lunar surface folded up in the Lunar Module’s Quadrant 1 Bay.
The rover could transport two astronauts, equipment, and lunar samples at a top speed of 8 miles per hour. However, it actually achieved a top speed of 11.2 miles per hour. After being unpacked, they were driven an average distance of 19-miles on each of the three missions, without major incident. The NASA LMV v1 motorbike would complement the LRV perfectly for gathering samples.
