Well, take a shock only intended to be used on a one-rider bike and stick two riders on it and that is hardly a surprising outcome. If it is an air shock you can try pumping it harder. Don't blame me if you blow the seals though.

It hasn't got the power, end of story. Maybe try pedalling simultaneously to help the motor out.

Dream perhaps? Not many 300 lbs cyclists out there. Or they bite the bullet and buy a scooter instead. Or stay on rigid frames.

Er, what?
Either the gearing can be too low, in which case you'll be spinning your legs like crazy w/o feeling any resistance. Solution: get a bigger chainring or a smaller (set of) sprocket(s). Spinning like crazy means more than 100 turns/minute. If you're below that, do some cadence training instead.
Or the gearing can be too high, in which case all gears will feel too heavy. Solution: Get a smaller chainwheel or a bigger (set of) sprocket(s).
Sometimes the chainring can be replaced separately from the crank, sometimes they have to be replaced together. The ridiculously named "specification" doesn't tell which.
