Has anyone over the 300-pound weight capacity purchased this bike? If so, how has it handled you? Im looking for a bike that can handle at least 400.

It seems very sturdy. I weigh 150lbs. so I don't know for sure. It is very well built. Mary Hazfel

I personally have had well over 400 lbs on mine and had no problems. The only issue I have with the bench is that it sits higher than most, in other words I 72 inches tall ( 6ft 2inches) and when I lay flat to bench I have a hard time putting my feet flat on the floor.

When I purchased the bike I weighed over 270 and it was very stable. Happy to say I've lost 73 pounds thanks to riding it:) The bad display lighting doesn't bother me. I can see it well enough.

I am 300 lbs and the bike already carried me and a 200 lb person thats 500 lbs with not problems so i will estimate the limit to be high very high like 900 lbs high.

As with earlier comments, the bike is very capable for me and my 225 lbs. About one year now with this bike and I still absolutely love it for all my around town fun and errands. I equiped mine with a set of saddlebags that come in very handy also.

It's certainly built to handle 88 pounds, but keep in mind that the more weight on the trailer the more difficult it is to maneuver the bike, particularly at lower speeds. I like to stay at or below 50 pounds just for that reason.

My father rides his and he is 6 foot 3 - 300 lbs. Had this bike for 1 year without any issues so far.

I think it could go up to 300 pounds, though not sure. My husband is over 6' and has no problem with it. I am just over 5' and also have no problem with it. I love this bike and bought one for my mom as well.

My daughter and I both have this bike and we are both around 250 lbs. We haven't had any problems (although I did buy a bigger seat for it for comfort). That could be the upper limit, but I'm not sure. I would check with the manufacturer to get a more qualified answer.

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

My load is 300 lbs and over my 400 mile trip, I didn't have any issues at all. Can't really say about 350, but I would think you'd be fine, but be careful about road humps, bumps, etc. Hopefully you'll get another response from someone with a bit more weight.

I wish I could give an exact answer but this seems to be only listed by few bike manufacturers. SO my research says most bikes are good for 250 pounds to 300 pounds. A chart I looked at said the same for tires. THe tires on this bike are supposed to carry 50 to 75 lbs. of air. My wife is 190 and I set the pressure to 50 lbs which seems to ride fine. Just my opinion but I think you would be fine maybe add more air, also these tires are 700 x 38 which are not real skinny. Hope this helps.!

Well, I'm not close to 300 pounds but I think it has a weight limit pretty close to 300 - maybe read the detailed info. Hope this helps!
