I'm 150 pounds and my girl 95... Can we both ride this bike ok?

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.

The bike can support 250 pounds however the rack and the basket is limited to 25 pounds by manufacturers recommendation so how to safely get both of you on the bike is the problem. Perhaps you should look for a bicycle built for two

I personally think you should be fine for at least a little while. We bought it last spring for our 4 year old daughter who is tall for her age and she rides it around like a crazy woman. Her older sister, who was 6 at that time, and who is also tall for her age (95th percentile) was able to ride it without problems with the seat at the middle position, although it was more comfortable for her when I moved the seat to the very back position. Our then 6 year old (who just turned 7 this month) learned to ride a two-wheeler this past summer however, so she really has no interest in her little sister's big wheel.

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.

Hi Bat Babe, You've probably already purchased a bike, and if you have, I hope it was the Schwinn 220. I bought one last August for a 74-year-old Auntie who had just had a knee replacement. It's now almost a year later, she's running around like she's 16, and she swears it's because of her 220. She rides it every day. Oh, almost forgot, she's 4' 9". She has to adjust the seat all the way forward and use a pillow, but says her 220 is still wonderfully comfortable and works perfectly. Good luck! Grant Ritchie

I only weigh 160-165 but it feels very solidly built to me. I know that doesn't necessarily answer your question, but this is the most solid feeling bike I have ever personally ridden. Yes, it should last just fine.

No, should not be a problem. My husband is your height (heavier) and he rides it on occasion and says its ok

Yeah I bet she would love it. If she has really good balance you might also want to try to two wheel. That way she feels like a big girl :)

This is a very hard question to answer because it would depend as to why the other bike is not completely comfortable for her and if all adjustments have been made that could be. I would suggest going to a bike shop and have her try a 24" to see if it would be to small.

I'm 213 and so far the bike is holding well. The manual says it can take up to 265 so I think you'll be fine
