My wife's Speed D7 has gone down the 184 mile C&O; Canal twice. Once my wife rode it and the other time, I needed to borrow it, because the tire on my more expensive bike suddenly needed to be replaced and I was about to head out by myself. I am not privy to how much my delightfully plush wife weighs, but I imagine that if yours is not going to carry a lot of extra weight, she should be okay.

The bike is very strong and I believe that the limit is 240lbs, so you should be fine.

I wish I knew as well. What I'm coming across is that most bikes have a maximum weight of around 250-275. It's actually very hard to find bikes that will work for a heavier rider without bending the wheels. They to look for a sturdy steel frame, possibly a mountain bike, & get the thick knobby tires. I'm still searching to find one that will work for me too. I wish Schwinn would answer these questions.

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

I'm 6'2 and 215 lbs, 64 yrs old, in an urban enviroment, I have no problems. Due to street construction, going on for months, now I have to park 3 blocks away. I unfold the bike and ride home. Since the van is now three blocks away I also use it to get to the store occasionally. Therd are other fold down bikes available, of a larger size. If you are looking to put "ALOT" of miles on it, go bigger. This is a rapid deployment, short hop bike. It fits that bill very well.

I have this fancy ride and I only come to 4'11'' and the height is no problem. I have had some issues with the bike's seat--sometimes it shifts and the first couple of rides changing gears was a little difficult and it's a little heavier than I was expecting it to be. But after breaking it in it really cruises. It's a beautiful bike and I feel like I am floating when I'm riding on it--mainly because I am smaller and this bike is normal adult size, but gives me the extra confidence to share the road with cars. I hope your wife loves it if you end up with this ride!

I got it for my elderly aunt who only weighs 95 lbs. It's very sturdy and it's lightweight, easy to transport, works great for us. Not sure how it would be for someone who weighs 200 lbs or more, though.

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.

Im about 5'11 - 6 foot and have a 31- 32 inseam and I ride the 58cm frame. This bike is almost perfect for me but I would get a 57 if I could because the 58 seems a bit tall at times but after I got used to it, its perfect for me. I say if your legs are somewhat long/average, I would go up but I've also road a 54.5 that didn't seem too small (it was an expensive Fuji and Ive read that they are sized large) but then again, the seat was really high. If you go down, with the 54, you'll save weight but it might feel a tad too small and your seat might be a little higher than you like...It depends what you want. Personally, I would go up.

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

It took both my son and daughter to carry it in...awkward more than anything...but the bike is solid as a rock! I've ridden it since October and love it. I'm up around 245 and it take my weight easily. I do recommend keeping the air pressure at 60lbs or higher...it not only rides better, but the tires won't wear as fast. WTMI? Sorry :-)

I think it could go up to 300 pounds, though not sure. My husband is over 6' and has no problem with it. I am just over 5' and also have no problem with it. I love this bike and bought one for my mom as well.

It might be a little small. I am 5'3" and I can ride it, easily. That said, I do prefer my larger framed women's bike, as it allows the reach and downhill riding position much easier than it would on this frame. Most women's bikes look like they are men's bikes, have you looked at those, too? (Oh, one note to mention: this bike comes with a really pretty silver flower handlebar wrap that I loved, however it was the first thing my son demanded get changed, lol)

Depends on how tall you are and how much you weigh. This bike is not a robust as some would lead you to believe in the reviews. I question it's stability except for the smallest persons

I'm 5'10" & 200, and it seems very sturdy. You can always add extra slats if you want to make it more rigid, but I haven't seen the need. I really like this frame.

I'm female, 5'6 and about 150. I got the larger size and it is LARGE. It might be a little too much bike for you.I would recommend the smaller size. The large has a 19" frame and the smaller has a 17" frame. I do love this bike.

Bought it for my daughter who is six and weighs about 75 pounds and almost 4 ft tall it is just about the right size for her and with the training wheels it helps a lot for her to be stable. I think it is a great bike for her to grow into. So I think it would be fine for your daughter, hope this helps. :) it's a great quality bike, and my daughter loves it.

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.
