It seems like almost every time i read a post that has to do with rider weight, the majority of the people are 220+ pounds or something.
am i seeing a trend here?
like bigger people deciding to put engines on their bikes to avoid having the pedal them?
I don't see how a 220+ pound person can fit on a 26" bicycle comfortably and how can the bike last(especially with an engine trying to pull that kind of weight)?
Not that i'm poking fun at the bigger people, i'm just curious.
I'm also wondering if so many of the engine & bike problems that are listed here are related to rider weight.
I'm 160 pounds and i have never had any problems with any of my bikes or the engines.
but then i read a post for example that says "loud knocking coming from engine......"
then you read more and find that the rider is pushing 300 pounds.
i don't mean to offend anyone, i'm just wondering if weight is an issue with the majority of the problems that so many people experience.
