This is a home and light commercial rated product. It is rated at a 325 user capacity.

Better reduce the rating to about 125. I'm 190 and the incline T-bar actuator just snapped on mine. No thanks on another too-flimsy replacement, I'll just buy some material and fix your design flaw myself.

I don't recall the specific weight limit, but it is far below my weight of 295 lbs. The bike itself is sturdy enough for my weight. The lifespan of the motor is likely what is most affected by weight, though it seems to be holding up well. My use of the bike is sporadic based on time of year, so stating I have owned it more than a year with no problems doesn't help much. I do wonder if the cruising distance isn't also diminished increasing weight, though I've never tested this. in the spring & fall, I use the bike several miles a day then generally recharge it each night.

I cant tell if you're trying to be funny or not. Most ellipticals, treadmills and stationary bikes tend to market to women. My husband has used it. He's approximately 190/200 lbs. It shakes under him, and it's not very sturdy. I wouldn't recommend it in general, as I have the same issue at around 150lbs.

Hello Judy, the owner's manual says:"maximum user weight:300 pounds". I have had and worn out two other similar machines over about 12 years and would say that this model is the sturdiest I have seen. The tubular members are larger that those of my other machines.

You may try but this would be more appropriate for someone around less than 6 feet and weighing around 80kg. You may look for something more sturdy for a comfortable ride. I would suggest Diamondback 2013 Overdrive V 29'er Mountain Bike with 29-Inch Wheels, expensive but worth it.

I am 260 lbs and I have used it although the recommended max is 230 I think. It bends in the middle some so there is more drag than a smaller person but is adequate.

I've had the Sole E35 for almost a year and have not had a problem. It is solid and the closest I could get to gym quality for $1100. It's only used by my wife and I, so the use has not been too heavy.

i believe it was 210lbs i returned this home gym i do not suggest you purchase this machine is not for a serios lifter and angled bars on the smith machine portion makes benching awkward

It all depends on your intensity. I can tell you that you would have to have exceptional endurance to last an hour on this thing! I would suggest intervals for an hour if you want to maximize calories. I can't say for sure but I would bet you would surpass 450calories as it's much more intense than elliptical. You're also working your core when you're on this machine for balance. I can't tell you how many calories but my guess would be in the 600 category if you could stay on this for an hour.

The weight limit is 240 pounds. The manual that came with the bike indicates the limit. I love the bike it is wonderful. I weight 224 and it squeaks a little when I ride. My husband is 180 and when he rides it does not squeak. Whatever the case it is an excellent piece of equipment.

Hi, N. Brown! I actually ordered mine from JC Penney, since I got a good price on it by way of an advertising error on their part... Either way, I only got it last night, and didn't find it too difficult to assemble just going by the sheet instructions. It IS quite heavy weight in construction, which I definitely count as a plus. The one thing that I can see that, so far, hasn't been mentioned in the reviews is, if you're on the heavier side (I'm 210 lbs at 5'5" tall, and wide through the hips) it doesn't SEEM particularly roomy when you're on the machine. I DID have a great time exercising on it last night after assembling it, though! If you love elliptical machines, as I do (they were my only motivation for going to the gym, and every time I went, I had to wait at least 20 minutes to get on one, so I cancelled my membership... Now I've got my own, dagnabbit! ;) ), you should really like this machine. I don't know if they're as squeaky over time as the other reviews state, but I'd assume that they are. Also, I live in a single bedroom apartment, and don't have a lot of room left over to leave this standing up. The main problem? I'd planned on sliding it under my futon when I'm not using it, but everything but the handles will fit - the handles just sit too high up to fit underneath it. It IS a heavy piece, as I said before, so a bit unwieldy, but the wheels on both the bottom of the rear frame, and the foot pedal pieces, help for maneuvering it. If you're not big on exercise, as I am not unless it's fun for me, but love cross trainer and elliptical machines, then I'd suggest you get this, if it's not more than you want to spend. It does take a little initial exercise to figure out your rhythm, but once you get going, it's GREAT! I woke up this morning eager to get back on it and go, and I haven't felt that way about exercise in YEARS, if ever!

I dont think it has a weight limit. It is however a light duty machine and its effedt is limited to the lower limbs.

I bought the livestrong ls 13.0E-2 in January. I have absolutely loved it! I had no problems with shipping. I was able to set up the elliptical by myself with out any problem. I have been using it basically non stop. The balance is great. You don't rock at all while using it. I have been running a bunch on it and i sweat, max out my heart rate, and push myself hard yet i don't get as sore as i do when i run the same distance outside. The programs that come with the machine are also great. Good luck deciding. it's a tough decision and i had to make it as well. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either machine!

I am not sure about the weight limit, but I started using this when I was at 250. I have lost about 15. It is well built, for 350, you may want to look at some for higher quality. It is still doable and you will get good result.

Others have stated the instruction booklet says 250 (my booklet is filed away and not accessible), however I was using it when over 250, somewhere around 280, and didn't have any problems. I would think from my experience that it would be safe up to around 300, but would be careful for anyone over 250 lbs. The booklet undoubtedly states that weight which they will cover in their warranty, any user weighing more than 250 lbs cancels their coverage. At least that is my interpretation of it, but I am not an attorney so don't take my answer as any type of authority.I love it, the only weight bearing exerciser I have found that works well in a small (tiny) space.
