I too am a rider who is somewhat above the recommended weight limit and i too have a brompton as well as several other bikes including a bernds a german folding bike with a recommended weight limit of 140 kg if i am not mistaken.
Brompton folding bike weight limit.
It has the small 16 inch wheels therefore it is so lightweight and small when folded.
A word of warning.
As a result folding bikes come with these weight limits.
From stop and go traffic and crowding on to public transit to rushing off for after work drinks across town the brompton folding bike is the ultimate commuter bike for city dwellers.
The folded dimensions are 22 2 x 21 5 x 9 8.
Brompton have finally posted weight limits.
242lbs plus 44lbs of luggage only not extra rider weight dahon.
The maximum weight capacity of the bikes is 250 lbs 113 kg.
The prices vary from 600 to over 2 000.
Miguel frank says.
110kgs 242lbs 17st 4lbs is the rider maximum weight for which the seatpost is designed.
The only downside is that you will have to remove the front wheel when folding the bike.
The brompton s1e is the smallest folding bike in the list.
The frame can carry another 20kgs as pannier luggage but not added to the weight borne by the seatpost.
