When I inquired to Schwinn Customer Service they told me the Meridian was tested to 350#.

My bike weighs 30 pounds. For ease of lifting, I would max the weight to 50-60 lbs. Even those weights may be a struggle to lift.

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.

Thanks for the inquiry! So sorry for the confusion but as referenced on the listing, that bike will weigh approximately 25lbs 2oz. Hope this helps!

I don't have the "Schwinn" answer, but the person who rides it is 175 pounds. And insure that is not the upper limit to the bikes capacity.

I carried my sportster 1200 at around 600 lbs and it bent the platform and the front tire bracket. Maybe I didn't have it set up right, but I will not be putting a heavy street bike back in it. Bike stayed secure and it was a 1300 mile trip, but still not worth the risk in my opinion.

The weight limit is 200lbs. If the bike fails your on your own. Get something that can handle a heavier rider.

i weigh 170 lbs and have no problem scoot'n around. I'd say @ 250 lbs max estimate. It's a really fun bike though, much better than a full size for short trips and navigating crowds.

I'm not sure, I think the frame and wheels could carry the weight but I think the suspension would be "maxed out" and not provide you with any cushion. the only issue I have had with the bike is gears getting out of adjustment which is easy to fix. For reference I'm a solid 200 lbs.

I've read that I weighs 29lbs. Not a lightweight bike. You can save some weight by putting 700x23 tires and some carbon components.

I wouldn't trust it for that much weight. Even if the legs can support it, the clamp may not. But, I have never attempted a bike that heavy, so I can't swear by this, just my opinion.

I do not know what the weight limit would be for this bike. I can say, however, that I weigh about 190 lbs., and it is more than sturdy for my weight.

From a frame perspective probably max weight is like 350 lbs, but it is electric and the electric motor has to work harder when there is more weight. It can probably handle a rider at 350 but be slower and shorter distance. I would recommend this bike for weight up to 250lbs to have enjoyable riding expirience. It can handle more but you may want a more powerful bike if you are over 250lbs

hello Ernie, I weigh 210, this bike has a very strong steel frame, so it should not be a problem for you but I don't know about the tires, although heavier duty tires can be bought a t a bike shop. The manufacturer should have a weight limit indicated.
