I keep seeing the cheapest of the cheap with 80cc engines on them.
What gives? Why would someone put a fellow human on what is a death trap by any other name?
Sure that coaster brake or crappy rim brake might slow you down from 35 to 40mph a few times, but what then?
Once that brake gets hot there goes your stopping power.
Not to mention the stress dynamics it (frame+forks) was engineered for are multiplied by a factor.
I tend to agree with that , I remember my first motorcycle pretty much a scooter with fairing it was fifty cc and it had a lot more frame mass than these bicycles with those 80 cc engines they're selling today,,, better brakes too,
