I weigh about 280 lbs. I'm curious if this unit can "really" handle that weight at slow speeds. Anyone have experience that can share?

Yes. We have two treadmills at our office that serve slow walkers of all shapes and sizes...

I weigh 240--and though the belt makes a slight noise at the beginning, lifting up one foot to start walking stops it and gets the belt going. I typically walk 1.5MPH because I am using a computer (mouse, touchscreen), so it works better at that speed, but I did start out at .5MPH and it was ok!

I weighed about 270 when I started using it and there were no problems. I did have to re-tighten the desk bolts and one person said that they could hear me walking on a conference call, but the treadmill was fine.

Agree with the others. I weigh 220 and have had no issues. I am using it at 1.7 miles an hour, having worked up from 1.1, not sure about any slower than that.

I have mine at work... and many users over 200lbs have used it as well as several around 300lbs.. never had a problem.. as for me? I love it..

No problem with 280 lbs. We've had people on the Tread desk that weigh over 300! You will love it!

I would not recommend for that weight, iam just 200 and I feel I am about at the limit. nice chair for the money. mine replaced an electric lift and I wore that out with to much up and down (my feelings) I as satisfied..........

I've only got approx. 100 lbs on mine. Works fine at that. Not sure, but the manufacturer does rate at 200. If it doesn't work, send it back for a refund.

Actual weight handling I do hot know. But make sure you have long enough screws and and large enough to be secured into framework. I weigh 300Lbs and have have not had a problem with mine.

Hello: If you're in reasonable health I see no problem with the issue of weight. The unit will be sitting on the surface when in use. The only time weight is a consideration is when the machine is lifted for storage. About the same weight as a large vacuum cleaner. BTW: Unit still in use and has not experienced any failures. The wife loves it. She uses it to clean the back porch. Need to be careful with the real heavy spring snow to keep the motor from getting overloaded and slowing down. A little at a time is a good rule to remember. Sure beats the shovel.

I'm right at 200 pounds and have not had a problem, installed mine 5 years ago. I have yet to bend mine so far.

I weigh 230 lbs and I am 6'2" tall and I ride mine hard and it has never given me any trouble at all. I would say 300 lbs wouldn't hurt it at all judging from my experience with it.

well i weigh 200 + -, im sure it would handle more. a more qualified answer could be had at the SUNNY web site.

I have clocked it at 22 MPH on a slight downhill.(No wind) It will not do this "blazing speed" for long though, as the batteries will quickly go dead, and you will be pumping! My wife weighs 140LBS, and this thing only got her downtown and back, 5 miles each way. Wide open, which is necessary at all times, it will die soon after 10 miles. Pumping a 176 LB machine is not a fun chore! This is one "Sad Puppy" I suggest a 49cc gas machine, and avoid this nightmare at all costs! I hope this helps. -Bob

I don't know, but when I first started using mine, I was a pretty hefty 288 lbs, and I'm pretty sure it could have taken more. It's REALLY sturdy! (I'm not going to load any of mine to the breaking point to test it... Need them too much)

Well I weigh over 200 lbs, and so far the bike has had no issues at all with that load; I would assume it can handle at least 50+ more lbs without showing any stress.

It spins at a nice slow speed, but can not handle too much weight at all. I had a small disco ball on it for a party & it would spin for a few seconds & then would make a grinding noise & stop. I wouldn't recommend anyone else wasting their money on this item.

I haven't had any problems with mine. I can weigh then wait a couple minutes and still get the same result. You might contact the manufacturer. I've heard they are a small company and really easy to help with problems.

I have 30 lbs. on it, but have not tested for more weight. It works very well.

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 :-)

Hi!It weighs at almost three pounds...if buying for a senior citizen, please check with their doctor first because it is heavy and it is powerful on the high speed...you don't want any injuries or bruises if it's dropped accudently...I love mine and it works great in a short amount of time, just check with their doctor and follow the directions included!
