kinda offtopic Sinclair Zike question and A-bike

[SwedenBob]

Hi All C5 ´er..
ill like to buy a Zike but since im quite big "180 long and around 100 kg" ill like to know if i can even ride that bike..
i have since before a Sinclair A-bike and there the max ratio is 85 kg..
about the A-bike .. is 85 kg the real maximum for what a rider can weight
i was thinking if i ride it light.. can i use it?

Cheers
Robert

I don't know about the Zike, but if you are a big lad like me ( similar weight), then no the A-bike isn't for you!

I had one and kept falling backwards on it when I tried moving off. Even once I did get going the wheels are so small that even clipping a small pothole meant you are going to fall over!

I've got a ZETA II instead and fitted that to my normal bike, but it's not a patch on the C5!!
