Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

Also had weight issue converting bike into electric with custom lifepo battery, which ended up being almost 30kg alone. Rear wheel was shot after like 20kms. But the bike was so cheap it wasnt surprising.

Too bad i came across this bike after finishing the build, might've got it instead. https://youtu.be/QV88C5ZK0x0?si=C9Ik2iCy_xDxlNbb edit: look like you cant buy it anyway
