Could a person weighing about 260 lbs ride this trike without breaking it? Is the frame made of steel? This is one way they could lose weight easier.

I am in that ball field and have never had any pieces shake out. It was the best thing I could imagine to get into an outdoor program of exercise. I wish there were a group of us to ride together here in Huntsville, Al. I love my bike.

The bike has a steel frame and is sturdy but check the weight limits, I seem to remember something about 250 pound limit.

The manual says it's for 225 pounds. I weigh 185 and had to replace the bearings in the back tires and the crank too. The frame is steel and is sturdy, even where it folds in half. I should have looked closer at weight limits, and gotten a bigger trike. So, on that note, I would not recommend this trike if you weigh 260 pounds.

While the seat is still intact albeit wobbly, the handles broke off within a week of use, and my son who is the primary user of this bike, is 195lbs. I would be hesitant to go over 200lbs.

I weigh 290 and I've ridden it for 45 min. around a fairly hilly neighborhood. I'm very satisfied with it's ride time. I did put the hill climb kit on mine because of my size.the frame is sturdy and I've hit some pretty good bumps in the road with no damage. I would recommend that you check it over after every 3-4 hours of riding just to make sure the suspension hardware is tight. I did notice a couple fasteners that had loosened up.

The reason I bought this chair was because it is heavy weight and wouldn't break. I had one break on me and I didn't want that to happen again. It's made of wrought iron. I think it could support a quite heavy person WELL over 200 pounds with no problem at all. I weigh 200 and it works fine and I have no worry that it would collapse on me.

Yes, it can handle the weight. im currently using a 4 wheelset on +320 lbs steel frame, just remember there small diameter wheels and can only roll on a smooth surface.

I don't believe there is a weight limit but if there is it would have to be north of 250lb. It's a pretty substantial bike. Good luck.

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....

The frame is lightweight steel to the best of my knowledge, the seat is very sturdy foam covered with vinyl (very washable), and the tires are tubed, much as a small bicycle but more sturdy. I will be using mine for a second surgery. Actually looking forward to getting back on it. Made my life much easier after surgery.

The bike frame and fork are made out of aluminum and steel respectively. The wheels are 36-spoke with steel hubs and aluminum rim. It should be able to handle up to 300lbs IMO.

58CM bike is closer to 30 than it is 25 for sure. If you remove the chain guard, kickstand, and replace certain parts you could probably have it down to 21-23 fairly easily. Does anyone know what it weighs frame alone?

63, short and 175 lbs. This bike is terrific. I just got back to biking after many years b/c of carpal tunnel issues now resolved. I always loved biking, but had real balance problems getting on and off my 2-wheeler, falling 3 times while trying to do so. The terra-trike was a dream come true. Get on and off with ease. Close to ground if you fall! Haven't fallen and it's pretty hard to fall off the Terra-trike. Adjustable seat. I ride on paved roads. My dog loves to race me. Didn't have it long enough before snow came in, so can't say about weight loss, yet.

I am 250lbs and felt that the thing would move a bit from side to side at speed but it would take a very deliberate throwing of weight to tip it over - the base is very heavy. The biggest issue is the tendency for one wheel to leave the track. See other reviews but this seems to be a combination of weight (230 lbs+) of user, occasional loosened bolts, and ungreased rails. If you are under 230, you may never have an issue but I was frustrated with it given that it is advertised as suitable for much heavier weights.

A part on the the rear wheel broke with my son on it. He weighs 150. We has trouble with the warranty and had to pay to have it repaired. I'd say no. Sorry. Hope that helps.

I'm not sure, it's a fairly sturdy piece of machinery....my husband had no trouble on it and he was 240 before losing weight..........

I bought the bike for my disabled son, but I took it for a spin to try it out. I weigh about 215 lbs. and it easily held my weight.

The bike is very sturdy, but has a hinge that allows you to fold it to make it easier to carry in a vehicle. This may be why it has a limit of about 250 lbs. This speculation on my part and may be a wrong assumption.

I would say there plenty fine for a kids trike. I mean they weigh 25-30 pounds and are 2-3 years old. If you want the best they also have high end bikes for about three times as much.
