I think there would be a big difference between 25 and 40 lbs. I myself am a 6’2 dude with a dad bod so bigger would no doubt be better. But I can’t buy the idea that there is some kind of one-size-fits-all model everyone should ride?
One question. At 25 lbs it does not sound like it would be infeasible to ride even without the motor should the battery die? Should that be possible? Like do escooters work ok as push scooters in a pinch?
