Weight limit of Diamondback Fitness 1260Ef Elliptical: What is the weight limit for this machine?

Better reduce the rating to about 125. I'm 190 and the incline T-bar actuator just snapped on mine. No thanks on another too-flimsy replacement, I'll just buy some material and fix your design flaw myself.

I am not sure about the weight limit, but I started using this when I was at 250. I have lost about 15. It is well built, for 350, you may want to look at some for higher quality. It is still doable and you will get good result.

When I researched it 2 yrs ago I think there was a 300lb limit. I know for taller people they thought this machine was too short. I am only 5'3 so I don't have an issue but if u are 6' or more it may be too short.

The weight limit listed is 250 pounds. However, I have had people much heavier use this machine and it stands up quite well.

It all depends on your intensity. I can tell you that you would have to have exceptional endurance to last an hour on this thing! I would suggest intervals for an hour if you want to maximize calories. I can't say for sure but I would bet you would surpass 450calories as it's much more intense than elliptical. You're also working your core when you're on this machine for balance. I can't tell you how many calories but my guess would be in the 600 category if you could stay on this for an hour.

When I first got my machine I weighed around 270. The machine handled that weight without any hesitation. I feel very confident in telling you that 300+ pounds won't shake this machine at all.

I bought the livestrong ls 13.0E-2 in January. I have absolutely loved it! I had no problems with shipping. I was able to set up the elliptical by myself with out any problem. I have been using it basically non stop. The balance is great. You don't rock at all while using it. I have been running a bunch on it and i sweat, max out my heart rate, and push myself hard yet i don't get as sore as i do when i run the same distance outside. The programs that come with the machine are also great. Good luck deciding. it's a tough decision and i had to make it as well. I honestly don't think you can go wrong with either machine!

Hello. I'm also 5 feet tall and wondering if anyone ever answered your question. I want to buy an elliptical and they all seem to cater to tall people! I had to have the pedals of last one I owned removed and moved forward, putting wood blocks underneath to also raise me up. Otherwise I the only way I could reach the handles was to walk in a leaning forward position. ANYONE out there with advice for us shrimps?

The weight of the total machine is about 220-240, I would estimate that the fly wheel is about 100-130 lbs of that. My hubby had to lift and hold it for me. Once you get the tension on the screws right (they scream like a banshee when they're over-tightened), its about a 3. Quiter than the gym model I used.

Looks like it is 200 lbs. Sole E55 Elliptical TrainerIt certainly felt that heavy while setting it up. This is a machine you want to assemble in the room where it will reside. The flywheel assembly alone required two people to move.

Not in the least. The materials are very poor. Take your time to read the many negative reviews. For $100 more, you can have a much better quality elliptical that will not squeak and rock and is closer to what you are looking for.

I found an owner's manual ( http://www.diamondback.com/Data/Sites/12/media/support-owners-manuals/2012_om_diamondback.pdf ) that covers many Diamondback bikes. In its Appendex (starting on pg 34) it lists various bike styles and riding combinations. Each is described and contains a table of maximum weights. Depending upon the bike and type of riding you intend, the max weight capacity appears to be between 275 lb and 300 lbs. follow the link and read it yourself.

The specifications of the manufacturer state that weight to be placed on this machine is limited to 250 lbs.

This is a very basic elliptical - whatever is average would be the answer. Even though we had to return it because of shipping damage we learned that it had all the basic strides and height.......We originally bought it because of the limited space we had.

Not sure what the engineering limit is but I'm 250 and it holds me well. :-)

Please note that for legal reasons most exercise bikes put 250 lbs as the user max weight. This by no means is the limit. It is a recommended number that covers people from lawsuits. Hope that helps.
