Will a larger bike always have more momentum than a smaller bike?

No.
Momentum is a combination of weight and speed, so something lighter travelling faster can easily have the same momentum as something heavier travelling slower.
So, if the bigger bike also is the heavier bike, and the bikes are always travelling at the same speed, then it will have more momentum.
Otherwise, anything goes.

Rider and bicycle will be going at the same speed, but the rider will be a lot heavier.

What is better smaller or larger front sprocket on a racing Go-Kart?
Small sprockets reduce the weight of your bike so that's always a plus. Also a smaller sprocket doesnt get in the way and they look cooler :)
How can a racing bicycle have the same linear momentum as a pickup truck?
Momentum = mass x velocity The bike has a much smaller mass, but if its velocity is great enough and the truck's is slow enough, the product can be the same. mass(bike) X Speed(bike) = mass(truck) X speed(truck) for an example, Speed(x)=0 and speed(x)=0 therefore, the two momentums are equal.
What size bike should a five year old boy use?
It all depends on how big he is. If he is small for his age he will need a smaller bike or if he is big a larger one. Best thing to do is ask the attendent at the bike shop.
If a truck and a bike have the same momentum which would be harder to stop a truck or a bike?
The truck it has more weight behind it.
What trucks for sale have sufficient size truck beds to fit a dirt bike?
Ford focuses are for sale and they have sufficient size truck beds to fit a dirt bike. I would check the specific measurements as my bike may be smaller or larger than yours.
Does momentum make a bike move down a hill?
Momentum is the product of mass and velocity which infers motion taking place. If the bike was moving then yes it would make it go downhill. The real culprit would be gravity if the bike was not already in motion. The hill is an incline and the bike is being pulled by gravity down that incline.
A person is riding a bike at 5 m's due west The mass of the rider plus bike is 95 kg What is the magnitude of its momentum?
Momentum = mass x velocity Assuming you mean the rider is riding at 5 m/s, the momentum is 95 x 5, which is 475 kg-m/s
Why do you keep moving after you slam your brakes on your bike?
Your momentum wants to keep moving forward.
Why can you let go of the handlebars on a bike and the front wheel stays straight?
Angular Momentum!
How do you start after an emergency stop on a bike?
After an emergency stop on a bike, you need to start on a low note and low speed. You will keep accelerating as you gain momentum.
What is the momentum of a 45 kilogram bike going 7.6 meters per second?
Momentum = m V = 45 x 7.6 = 342 kg-m/sec
You are riding your bike And you hit a pothole which stops your bike What happens to you and why?
If your front wheel stops abruptly, you'll likely go over the handlebars - the forward momentum will rotate you and the bike over the front wheel.
