Will this bike or any other foldable bike hold a man weighing 255 lbs?

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.

Since I'm 165lb. so men, I guess I don't know whether this bike is strong enough.

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 don't know, but I doubt it. I guess it depends on how the bike folds. I see that another comment is to contact the manufacturer. Probably a good idea. I wrote a review of the product because I could not use it. You might want to see that review before you purchase.

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.

Check the ship weights - 65 Lbs. vs. 25 Lbs. - the Vilano appears to be a much lighter bike.

The weight is approximately 27 pounds and folds up perfectly for the back of any vehicle. I am a middle age woman and can lift the bike with one arm/hand. I do suggest purchasing two rubber bundgies to secure the folding bike a bit more when lifting.

The bikes max capacity is 250 lbs. I know they sell a seat extender for taller people. That being said, if someone is not used to cycling for extended periods, its going to take a little time to get past the initial discomfort of a bike seat. After that its an easy and convenient way to keep the heart rate elevated.

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

I'm 240 pounds, and I've had no problems. It's a very heavy duty bike, and when you actually pick it up, you'll have the proof in your hands. As far as holding your weight, no problem, even on bumpy roads. There is one problem I've discovered, and that is you'll get spoiled when you use the power assist, and it will seem harder than usual to pump it when you don't use it. I only use power assist on tough hills, otherwise I just downshift to a lower gear_depending on the terrain. Good Luck.

No, I think that's too old for this bike. My son is a tall 5 year old that weighs 65 lbs, and he fits it just fine right now.

That's a great question. My weight is 135lb. I am sure it will hold over 240lb but I have to admit that bike components are not reliable.

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!

You might want to consider the bike is cumbersome when folded. Ot was a pain to carry and I'm 5'8". My son rides this bike in Chicago.

I do not think so. I don't think it's sturdy enough for a man his size. I love my bike, but it's a basic model.

My guess: likely not. Two reasons. First, because there are no side supports that would work to keep the pannier from impinging on the spokes. And, second, because of the 25 pound maximum weight limit. Otherwise, a great light-duty rack.
