Is this bike sturdy enough to hold a 5 Ft 4 " woman weighing close to 200 pounds ? We are looking to buy a foldable bike which is not too expensive and is sturdy enoug. I like the reviews here but am wondering if there are any other cheaper options ?

My user is about 5'4" which required adjusting the handlebars up 4-5" or so. She's very happy with it. It's quite sturdy & well made, but not a lightweight. We'll probably buy another. I hope this helps.

My husband and I love this bike. It's easy to put together and the quality goes well beyond the price. That being said, I don't think this bike would accomodate 350 lbs. The bike is quite lightweight. We had it on carpet at first and it sat really nicely. Once we moved it to the hardwood floor I realized that most of the weight is supported by the small black peg in the center of the bottom bar. I adjusted the back "feet" and the center peg, but I don't think this was meant for that much weight. If you can find a slightly higher quality recumbent bike that would be best. I hope this helps.

I've seen 33lbs as the listed price. Kind of hard to find. :)All I know is given my physical capacity, I could pick up and manipulate the bike during the assembly process.I do know that the twist grip left/right gear change needs to be learned.All in all a decent bike, but if you are into high end fiber composite light weight frames, this is not the bike for you.If you want a solid street/path bike, this one works well.

I am 5 ft 1 inch tall, I wonder if this would be a little bit heavy for her to propel? I have the seat on the lowest setting, and I am thinking maybe she could ride this ok, is there a childs sized one out there? Maybe you could put some sort of wooden blocks on the pedals in case her legs are a little too short. Do you want me to measure anything for you? Its sitting here in my garage and would be happy to measure it for you. I really like the bike.Cheers, Cheryl

I weigh 295-305 lbs - it stays between and fluctuates - Anyways - the bike (29'') does just fine - I steer clear of large pot-holes and curbs -though; I am going to be purchasing Double Walled Aluminum Rims so I may in fact carry xtra weight like grocery bags on the handle bars and still hit bumps without any issues - It really all depends on what u want - Bike is Great price and well built,,,

Had a buddy (who weighed 225) ride it & no problems. The bike is heavy & built like a tank. IMHO, it could even hold Oprah:)

I am unable to answer this but I am 5'4" and I feel the bike is big and heavy - not in a bad way it provides the robustness that I was looking for. My husband who is 5'11" also rides this bike and it suits him as well.

Another question...anyone out there really small in stature and finds the bike comfortable? I am 102' and just over 5' tall. live in an area where there are no large sports shop to try things on, so to speak. thanks,arlene

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.

Jay, I am 6'4" with a large frame and had knee replacement surgery in Oct 2013. I was having trouble finding a bike that was reasonable priced and could handle the leg length. I read some reviews and decided to take a chance on the bike. I extend the seat all the way out and it is fine. It would be nice to have another slot to move back but is adequate for my rehab/ exercise. Positives are it is easy to put together and is very quiet. I can ride it in the exercise room and you can not hear it in operation outside the room. Some comments have been made about the display being difficult to see but I find it adequate for my needs. It is a dated design but if you want things in color you will have to pay a couple hundred bucks for a upgrade. Good luck and hope this helps.

Yes, I weigh 275 lbs and I have rode the bike for months with no problems. I have actually added a basket on the back with an extra 80 lbs of weight [not recommended by Huffy] and didn't have any problems.

I bought this for my grandson who is almost 6 feet and weighs 200. He loves it. I wanted a sturdy bike because although he's only 16 he's a large guy. His legs are 30" pants if that helps.

I'm 6'4", 200 lbs and I carry my groceries which often weigh about 30-40 lbs and the bike handles it no different than without. I would definitely say that it's enough. In fact, I noticed increased performance with any kid of downslope.

This bike is perfect for shorter (or as I like to call us, heightly challenged) people. I would not recommend it for tall people, but she would have a very easy time with it.
