Can't you just weigh the bike? how much weight does a motor+batteries add? And anything that isn't super light would get heavier scrutiny.

- cheeze 2y agoBikes are at a point where they can be lighter than the UCI mandated minimum weight. Aero has been the name of the game for a while as well, so it's possible that a riders bike already is heavier than expected for aero benefit
- alistairSH 2y agoBikes can already be built WAY below the minimum weight set by UCI (6.8kg), so that doesn’t help - it’s easy to install a motor, battery, and still come in right at the limit.
