well i bought a shimano next mountain bike from someone, and i don't know if it was my weight or bike, but the back part that guides the chain as you chain gears bent and broke the spokes, so now i am in the same boat. I only weight 230, and i have lost weight, but walking hurts my knees and feet, so i am wanting to ride to get more of a cardio work out. any suggestions?

In other words, their lawyers wont allow them to state a weight limit. Do a google search for "supersized cycles" and you'll find a place that sells them for riders who are larger than average. Not sure if the url would be posted here or not.

I think what's most important are the wheels, seat post, and suspension. Most frames should hold up fine to someone large.

Hi. I love this bike. My daughter is under 5 feet and has used the bike without issue. I am 5'7" and I just raise the seat and it is perfect for me.

What do you mean? Do you mean the weight of person that the bike can support? If so, I think generally the bike can support almost all kinds of weights. Actually someone stole my bike half a year ago, I am so sad to remember this because it was a good bike that can take me between my lab and my apartment. So, if you really want to buy it, just buy it. Remember to lock in the middle of it to avoid to be stolen !Merry Christmas !Yaqing

I am 6'5" 250 so no problem fitting you, but I would look elsewhere for a good exercise bike. As I type this my wife is using it and it makes a knocking sound at every pedal stroke. I put it together very carefully and I would say this is worth half of the price. Also, pedals too wide for serious bikers.

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.

See 5-star review by Mr. Kent: I'm 6'0 240 lbs. It's got plenty of power to push me along and it does get big enough where it feels like a full sized bike.

Honestly this unicycle has a weight limit on it from 125lbs I believe. Therefore I don't recommend you on it. This was bought for my daughter and she loves it. I have been learning with her and use a sturdier 20" which could support my 170lbs. Though the last couple weeks I have been using a 24" unicycle and have been happier with it. I'm 5'11" am trying to balance between the unicycles myself to find what's good for an adult to ride on, so far the 24" is winning.

I'm 6 foot 2 inches and about 290. It rides smooth for me. I haven't owned it for a long time, however, I think if I don't bounce up and down on it and act like a ding dong it should hold up. The biggest challenge for tall people would be the cross bar. If you don't time it right and bring the bar back down first before you move forward your knees won't clear. Not a big deal. Just have to maintain your form.

Hi Jennifer! I actually bought it for my best friend and her boyfriend who is 6 feet tall tested it out for me and he said it might be a little too small for him but he said since it's a 26 inch frame it might be ok. Sorry I could not be more helpful. It's a super cute bike though!

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

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 purchased my Schwinn 170 two months ago. I could only tell you that I weigh 240 lb. and 5' 8". I do believe it will be alright for a 6' 3". Very good bike to work out on.

Yes! I am 6 ' 275 lbs and it holds me easily! To add to that, this is probably the most comfortable feeling bike I have had since I was a kid! Feels very solid for the price, especially and I think it just really looks sharp! I don't know that it would be a bike for a serious mountain bike competitor, but excellent for the average weekend warrior.

This is a tough question, because it really depends on you? At 6'3 you should be riding a bike that is 62 cm's and this bike is 50.8 cm. (20 inch is a Lg.) A little small? but I think with the seat post adjusted correctly you should be pretty comfortable. The tires are huge :-) and the bike should not have a problem with weight up to 300? the bike is pretty rugged, if you just want to ride down the street, or on an easy trail, But if your looking to do extreme off-roading? This bike will not handle what your looking for very long.

It's a tall bike! I'm 5'6" and feel that is on the tall side. Would recommend a smaller bike.

I'm 6'3, 200 lbs. and love the bike. I have the seat and handlebars at the highest settings and can get get full extension. It would probably be close for you.

According to the specs ( http://www.trikke.com/product/t7-fitness/ ) you should be fine weight-wise but it's not meant for people over 5'8". That said, I'm 6' and it's doing fine. The downside is you might be less stable as the base is smaller than in larger models.
