I'm not a huge guy. I weigh about 190, which seems like it should be within the range the bike can support.

Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance.
I weigh 235lbs, I own multiple folders, and the issue usually is the seatpost clamp on most folders isn't strong enough. Try getting a fatter replacement clamp, or use the allen key type. Otherwise, I highly doubt you're too big to ride a folding bike,...especially a Giant branded model. Their folders are strong.
