I see a potential problem: a variable distance between the saddle and the pedals, depending on load. To my understanding, you're supposed to adjust this to match your anatomy.

@perestroika @poVoq it looks like you can make that longer for bike fit, but yes, they have suspension in there which will impact it a little bit. But that shouldn't be a big deal.
