Weight limits for bicycles need to be higher and more transparent, especially if the majority of people want to use them.

    Yeah, I haven’t seen anything for a more sturdy seat post. Im willing to bet you could find an aftermarket seat and post though, because it looks like it’s a pipe-in-pipe attachment to the rest of the bike. As long as it’s got the same diameter.

    Or fill the stock one up with JB weld or something. Give it some extra stiffness.

      Stock post is suspension, and given that it’s a trike I’m not sure a suspension fork would do much. In any case, getting a solid piece custom made would likely be my best option. Thanks.

        Old thread, but I’m loving this suspension post with my xpress. Rated for 264lbs, but that’s underselling it. It has an extra spring you can add in for heavier riders that really ups the stiffness, but still has great give. The design is way more seriously engineered than Lectrics generic style spring post.

        The 31.6/450mm long is what fits my bike with the lectric stock seatpost clamp.
