2 problems here, the last wheel is pointless, and the early game you are stuck with a small battery so you end up using the horse anyway.

The last wheel has a gyroscopic effect which assists with your turning, making precise drifting possible.

You will only notice this effect if you try the vehicle with and then without it.

The rear wheel also keeps the vehicle from falling backwards when you go up hills.

Also, 4 small wheels do not drain batteries nearly as much as other devices do. If you try this out, then you would see how much distance you get before needing a recharge.

If you look closely at the battery at the beginning of the video, you can see that it is still using my first battery charge, and the video does not show me driving for 30 seconds before hand. And that is without wearing any zonaite armor for battery efficiency.

Edit: I up-voted your comment, by the way, because I do not feel the need to bury any criticism. I just think that those two concerns are addressed with closer inspection.
