Does anyone know if this can this climb a 9% grade road at reasonable speed with 170lbs on board (person + backpack) ?

YES! I weigh 282 & it climbs just fine on inclines with my weight & additional weight as well backpack. Your weight should not be a problem very reliable scooter as well. I use it daily even though Chris didn't recommend it I use it daily & learned how to fix almost everything by myself. Hope this helps bruh

The Super Turbo 1000-Lithium scooter can climb a 9% grade. I have no problem with my 210 pounds ascending even steeper grades.

depends how hard of a rider you are. it is a sturdy board but you may need to change out the wheels along its road of use.

Not a problem - it's very well built. I'm just under 200 and I know it could handle someone much heavier.

I wouldn't recommend it. It bottoms out just trail riding with 160psi. Granted, I am 250lbs...Not happy with it, and if you're jumping, doubt you would be either. Just my $.02

When it is fully loaded it gets pretty heavy. I find it doable, but I am willing to carry more than some people.

It likely weighs what the spec indicates, that's pretty light. I do not think I would want to climb on anything that weighs any less as it would be structurally weak. I like it very much and it is light weight easy to move around and sturdy.

I'm 240 and I ride it for short distances, feels fairly sturdy but I wouldn't make it an adult mode of transport by any means. And definitely don't try any stunts on it!

It'll hold you, but it will be a little more flexy than an advanced downhill rider would want. A flexy board is great to learn on, and great for cruising/carving, but once you start going fast (down billing or free riding) it can cause wobbles. My younger brother to this board, and it is very solid, but when I start going fast on it, it feels less stable than my land yachts evo downhill race board and my globe Geminon Freeride board. P.S. I weigh 140lbs.

I carry a longboard with a short board on top does great. The straps are awesome. The straps are long enough for more but I do not know how scary it would get at 80mph.

This is probably not the board for you then. Going slightly uphill, two pushes won't get you very far. It's something that can be adjusted if you change the wheels maybe

The hardware/frame itself is very sturdy and I would assume,depending on your size, could handle it. Though the motor seems to be be fairly powerful at this price range not sure of the 5 day a week at 4 mph durability. If you're 140 pounds I'd say yes, if you're at the 300 pound limit I'd say no....

If we were talking flat to full, 35's might be pushing it. However, if all you're doing is dropping and adding a few pounds for terrain, like you say, I'd be pretty confident it could handle it. I've done 0 to full on a 31 in just a few minutes, so it's got some guts. Just don't run it continuously for more than 10 minutes.

Yes, if he can hold his balance on a board. Get him a helmet. Loosen the truck screw if he likes it looser to make sharper turns. I don't recommend upgrading bearings for faster speed. It's fast enough already and if you're going downhill, it takes skill to stop it safely.

If you are staying on a hard surface, it should do fine. I've had loads close to 50 pounds with little trouble.

we have managed fine with 25lbs on mountain bikes and 200 miles of very bad roads. be sure to install some rubber tube between the contact surfaces of the carrier and the bike frame. worth the money

It seems fine to us. I have jumped on it myself and I feel no danger of it ripping. The weight guidelines say a 250 pound max. I feel perfectly safe on it.

I bought it for my kid, but it's a full board. Seems pretty strong and can definitely support my 215 lb frame (not that I'm doing tricks with it).
