Most cruisers should be able to take that weight,I mean Youtube shows some vids that can even take the weight of a car,I think another cruiser to consider is also the Eightbit cruisers.Hope it helps!!

yea stereo boards are cheaper than penny but i have found that they ride just as well. i weigh 180. no problemsmy friend weighs about 210 and rides mine sometimes no issues yet

I mean it says 176 by these boards seem pretty tough. I ve seen YouTube videos where cars run over them and they don't break. If you re concerned just get the stereo cruiser wood version. Idk if amazon offers them. Another brand is z-flex they offer crusiers and tiny skateboards. Then there others like sector 9 and stuff but again don't know if amazon offers them. But they are a little bit more because they are wood. Idk hopefully this helped. I bought my stereo for $40 bucks on here . Which is a good deal? I mean you should try it for that price.

I think you should really check out the globe bantam board. It's really sturdy too and works just as well. My friend has it and he really likes it. Its just a few inches longer but it makes no difference. It just might make it easier. Trust me. >.<

well they sell nickel boards which are about 25 to 27 inches and they look exactly the same as penny boards and probably have a larger max load. if you want a certain brand than i suggest penny because i know many people over 200 pounds who ride normal 22 inch pennies with no problem

I would get a different board honestly. This thing has way to much flex that it was scratching the ground in the middle even with 1/2" risers which eventually led to it snapping in half. To answer your question though any standard size longboard trucks (9") with 70mm or bigger wheels will work.

My husband ordered this board for himself. He's 210lbs & when he stepped on the board, the board almost broke in half. He gave it to my brother which is 135lbs & you see the board bend a little but not too much. My husband wouldn't suggest this board for anybody over 150lbs. My husband has been longboarding for over 10 years. Hope this helps you with your decision on the board.

No, it is not a Penny board. It is by Goldenway. Thus "Penny size". Thanks for recognizing that Penny is a brand. Most of these dults think that Penny is a type of board. No, Penny is a brand name not a type of board. This type of board is known as "Retro", "Cruiser", or just old school plastic board.

It really depends on your size. But if you have no experience on a skateboard I would get a standard one first

If you look up the company there are several YouTube videos. One demonstrates how to customize your board by interchanging parts by a pro skater. We aren't big into it but it can hold a 210 lb male.

No just with the board, its pretty fast but its not the offical penny board. If you want high quality board then go buy a real australian penny board or nickel board, but in my case if your using it for a prop or just to have a board to ride around with (badically unprofessional things just casual stuff) then go with this board.

You will need a bigger board. I bought this board for my daughter who weighs 60#. As I recall the recommended weight limit for this board is under 100#. Check the liquid shredder web page for weight limits.

The board is probably best suited for 115-145 lb, cuz it's a very flexy board, but my friend who was 185 used it, so will I hold like 200 I'm sure, just don't stand in the middle, spread your weight, if you want a harder board I'd look into Canadian maple, mine has like no flex to it cuz I'm so light

I first started with a bearings upgrade, which totally changed the feel of the board, then I threw on a set of Gullwing Sidewinder II Trucks, I don't recommend those trucks in particular due to having two kingpins, and the board has a big disadvantage with wheelbite with these trucks, and a bit of speed wobbles. I suggest a set of Paris' or something of the like. First, I'd start with bearings, and just work from there:)

The mini max rider weight is 166 pounds and the Ripster is 225 pounds. I am sure it's probably some difference in the beam or the casters because the deck is the same dimensions.

You could use standard 180mm trucks. I use 9 inch standard king pin trucks for a more crusie type ride. I use 76mm wheels with no risers. I doubt you can go bigger with out them.

both are quality boards. My daughter has both. Pros for Penny: My daughter feels that Penny is smoother and a bit faster. Another plus for Penny is that you can customize just about any part of Penny board using customizer on their website. Last but not least plus for Penny is that it is infinitely easier to find spare parts. Pros for EightBit: EightBit is less expensive. EightBit flexes less (not sure if it is a pro, but I'd imagine it is a good thing). And finally a real life situation: My daughter's EightBit board was run over by a large SUV. All it lost was rear wheels with top hanger of a truck. Otherwise the board doesn't have any damage or cracks. And we're talking about weight of several tons! But its been at least a couple of months since I have contacted EightBits about this situation and provide the photos of the board and they have sent me only the wheels (free, which is nice, even though I didn't ask it to be free), but they still have not sent a truck assembly (or top hanger) because, and I'm quoting, "I'm sorry, we've had a hard time finding a replacement truck. If one comes up I will let you know. I apologize for the inconvenience.". So, a manufacturer having hard time finding a replacement truck? Seriously??!

I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs. For me, it requires to much effort to stay balanced. For that reason I ride a much larger (inflatable) board. If you want a one-board-fits-both then get one suited for the larger person. With paddle boards, its not about capacity, but rather, whether it is suited for a certain sized rider and their ability. An beginner rider that is 225lbs will need a larger (volume) board than an experienced rider of the same weight. I would say this board for a beginner will work for someone up to 150lbs. For intermediate; 175lbs. For experienced; maybe 200lbs. I don't know the standards but I am also about 220lbs and would not use this paddle board. Its great for my girlfriend who is about 130lbs.
