Sorry' I was basing the question around my e-scoot which weighs 40 kg ready to ride and is simple and reliable.
Mine has too wide a Q for comfort but there are several down here of similar weight and normal pedal Q (width) still fully faired scooters.
If pedaled with the assist why would the hub have issues?

I could easily tranfer the running gear into my folding bike the only advantage would be easier to pedal due to the lower Q and a weight drop of maybe 5Kg ~ 8kg's and a loss of suspension, storage compartments, weather protection, indicators, horn,lights etc.

Again this is my least used ride but how do you legislate one and not the other?
