I hope bikes like these aren't allowed on most trails. The erosion from basically a 50 lb electric dirt bike occurs much faster than an average mountain bike. Im all for these for certain use cases but there is also a reason dirt bikes aren't allowed on most mtb trails.

What about riders with an extra 25lbs?

They tend to produce a little less power as a trend so it evens out.

The imaginary people in this imagined scenario are not so easily mass produced as the real bikes this discussion is about.
