I suspect that
paddle tires would matter more than +/- 20 pounds? ... and, I doubt that many ride paddle tires on paved roads?
Where only a net weight spec is offered, I estimate
wet weight as follows:
258 pounds net + (6.1 pounds/gallon * 2.3 gallons) + ~3 pounds fluids etc. ~= 275 pounds

Riding
'on the beach' is
really tough going ... on two wheels; I don't see many Y.T. videos with bikes riding on the beach!
In Florida heat + humidity, I imagine that riding in beach-like conditions would REALLY wring one out?
Fun? ... maybe not?
