What Is The Recommended Maximum Rider Weight And The Recommended Maximum Load?
Rider + load 110kg-130kg(G line)
Load meaning bags and rucksacks weighing down on the tyres, not trailers being pulled.
That’s another reason I like the G-line and am suspicious of the “just buy a cheaper folding bike from Ali express with a Brompton style tri-fold”. Idk how much I would trust a bike to take a 100kg person if it didn’t explicitly say a carrying capacity.
