Took about 2 minutes to find a two wheeled open seat vehicle powered by a motor (definition of a motorcycle) with most of those requirements. Look up the SWAGTRON Swagcycle. All for about 800€

A step backwards just for changing the pedals for footpegs and adding a throttle control? I think it’s a great step forward, you don’t have to get tired anymore.

Why not evolve all the way and get a motorcycle?

After shooting themselves in the foot for cheating on emissions for a profit, now smooth brain CEOs think that threatening to take the work to a country without worker rights and with cheap child labor is a good idea to recover their image and reputation.

In Valheim it was quite real and comfy at the same time. Weird I know.

We have all heard this song before and know how it ends.

Missing a red dot in the middle of rural Albacete. El Bonillo is an independent nation.

Although true, it isn’t the point I’m trying to get across. My view is that weight limits aren’t a great metric. You don’t have to go for niche sports, the traditional xc/trail bike is what everybody starts with on mtb.

Say this example xc bike has a weight limit of 150Kg. Rider A is at 170Kg buys this bike ignoring the limit and just rides smooth local fire roads for some excersise.

Rider B is young, athletic 70Kg build. Buys this SAME bike and goes on rides with friends that know all the fun trails. Rider B is getting faster and stronger, and the bike starts to show it’s limitations.

It’s clear which bike will fail sooner. Weight alone doesn’t matter, and both riders are using the bike for it’s intended and designed purpose.

Manufacturers cannot reliably slap a max weight to their bikes because of all the other factors involved. And if they do, it will be way conservative to avoid getting into legal trouble.

Weight limits on performance bikes are total nonsense. Probably are there just to comply some law. A pro enduro rider weighing 20kg less than me would destroy my setup any day.

I find hard to believe a traditional 26er with 36 triple cross spoked wheel from a reputable manufacturer can’t hold up to any rider capable of moving on their own and sitting on a saddle any amount of time.

Unless they are heading to Whistler’s a-line

I know, not the same, but I built my kid a cheap “Gaming” laptop from an old corporate PC that was going to be scrapped because it restarted every hour of use.

Cleaned the cooling fins and fan, repasted both cpu and gpu, got a cheap ssd and extra sodimm of ram. Was good for about a year or so until he got my Ryzen rig :)
