Is that 200 pound weight limit a rigid requirement?
No. That has to do mainly with the strength of the rear shocks, something that EMB increased for my Lectra, and for the range. Weight is a major factor in the range you get from the batteries. If I weighed 75 pounds less, for example, my range would almost double. (My riding weight is about 205 pounds or so.) So, the more you weigh over 200 pounds, the more disappointing the Lectra’s performance will be.
