While I thank you for your concern I disagree that due to it's motorized cycle heritiage it's to big
or to heavy for a utility /commuting bicycle. Also it's NOT Lexan.....it's acrylic which is lighter by far.
As to any handling disavantage or change......
Anything that high up on a cycle of any kind requires more attention if it weighs very much. It's the
pendullum affect. That said since I've offered it only as a SLOW utility / commute option I doubt that
one would ride one, or no, handed . This small windshield wouldn't have anymore affect on these bike
than a full front basket would. Probably a lot less affect when it's all said and done. Heck even zipper
makes a shield for Mountain bikes and shows them used in......winter. Imagin that!!
