The Worksman website says 210 lbs. but I know a guy weighing 230 has ridden ours several times over the years.

The bikes max capacity is 250 lbs. I know they sell a seat extender for taller people. That being said, if someone is not used to cycling for extended periods, its going to take a little time to get past the initial discomfort of a bike seat. After that its an easy and convenient way to keep the heart rate elevated.

I'm pretty sure that's too heavy. I thought the weight limit was 60-70 pounds for 2 bikes.

Hi Stan, when I purchased this bike for my husband, I spoke with a bike pro and he said the weight limit was 250lbs.

Unknown by me. I would depend on the manufacturer's guidelines. At 190 pounds, the bicycle zooms me along with no problem.

I use this product and am also a mechanical engineer. I did not read of a specific weight limit for the bikes it can carry but it is very strong and could carry 200 lbs easily.

Weight limit is somewhere in the 200-225 lb range - having said that I pedal on mostly flat pavement and I weight more than that:)

The specs on the bike set the weight limit at 300 lbs ... see http://www.livestrongfitness.com/product/ls50r-bike#specs

From a frame perspective probably max weight is like 350 lbs, but it is electric and the electric motor has to work harder when there is more weight. It can probably handle a rider at 350 but be slower and shorter distance. I would recommend this bike for weight up to 250lbs to have enjoyable riding expirience. It can handle more but you may want a more powerful bike if you are over 250lbs

Most likely. I imagine they included some leeway in making the maximum rider weight to be 230 lbs. It's a pretty sturdy bike.

According to the manual for S545, the max load is 140lbs. It doesn't break it down per bicycle, but it averages out to 35 lbs per bike if you're carrying four bikes.

In the mfg. rating it says maximum weight 200lbs. It also states for bicycle racks only!

I'm 210. I don't know the max. It is a very heavy bike. +/- 6- lbs I believe. Good bike. Lots of fun.

The tires are the foam filled type with the poly spoked wheels. I don't recall seeing a weight limit. The bike is sturdily built and I expect it will hold any youngster who can comfortably make use of it. I can put my 250 lbs on it but can't do anything that close to the ground.

There is no weight limit shown in the manual and like any other bike it should be sized to fit the person. A bike properly maintained should carry a balanced heavy load or any load. Enjoy riding!

My bike weighs 482 lbs and I had no problems - 50 lbs. over would probably work...

I wish I knew as well. What I'm coming across is that most bikes have a maximum weight of around 250-275. It's actually very hard to find bikes that will work for a heavier rider without bending the wheels. They to look for a sturdy steel frame, possibly a mountain bike, & get the thick knobby tires. I'm still searching to find one that will work for me too. I wish Schwinn would answer these questions.
