The bikes on this shelf, highest rated load first

All figures are the makers’ own, except what is left for you and your gear. Rider height, weight, tire and load were confirmed on each maker’s page on 18 October 2026 (heights shown in feet and inches and in centimetres); rated, peak and battery figures were confirmed in each bike’s own text the same day. Velotric’s owner’s manuals, read on 30 October 2026, count the bike inside the load limit: 440 lb in all for the Nomad 2X, Nomad 2, GoMad, Fold 1 Plus, Summit 1 and Summit 2, and 500 lb with the trike for the Triker. For those rows the table also gives what is left for you and your gear: the manual’s figure less the bike’s weight, which is our arithmetic, not Velotric’s. For the Summit 2 we subtract the 63.3 lb Electric Bike Report weighed it at, complete, because Velotric’s 26 kg leaves out the fenders, kickstand and pedals. The Summit 1 row has no such figure, because we have not confirmed that Velotric’s weight for it is the complete bike. Eahora prints 500 lb for the Romeo Ultra II on its page and in its manual but told one reviewer 330 lb, as our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, records in its Romeo Ultra II review; plan on 330 lb until Eahora settles it. — = a figure we did not confirm for this model on its maker’s page on 18 October 2026; the bike’s own page has its full specifications. Prices and stock are live from our store; a bike shows “Sold out” when no version can be ordered, and “(backorder)” after its price when it can be ordered only on backorder.

How we choose the bikes on this shelf

We read the maximum load each maker prints for the bike, in the unit it prints it, and shelve the bike when that figure is 400 lb or more. A rating printed only in kilograms is converted at 2.2046 lb per kg, so a 180 kg rating (397 lb) stays off. Where a maker prints two different figures for one bike, we print both, and a bike whose figures fall on either side of 400 lb stays off. Where a maker’s owner’s manual counts the bike inside its figure, as Velotric’s do, we print that figure beside the page’s and subtract the bike’s weight to show what is left for you and your gear, which can be under 400 lb. Our heavy-rider guide picks the best of them: it plans on the lowest figure a maker gives and leaves 30 lb for what you wear and carry.

FAQ: electric bikes for heavy riders

Is there a weight limit for electric bikes?
Yes. Every maker rates its bike for a maximum load. The rating covers you plus everything you carry, some makers count the bike in it as well, and where a maker splits rider and cargo, the table shows the split. Every bike on this shelf has a maker figure of 400 lb (181 kg) or more, and the table shows each figure and what it counts.

Can a 400 lb person ride an electric bike?
Yes, on a bike whose figure leaves room for you and your gear. Our heavy-rider guide plans on the lowest figure the maker gives, subtracts the bike where the maker counts it, and leaves 30 lb for what you wear and carry, so a 400 lb rider looks for about 430 lb by that reading. The table on this page prints every maker figure and what it counts.
