Well, back in my 225# youth (well not so youthful youth, like late 30's and early 40's), my Spree with it's 180 lbs rating was toting me around and still is now that I weigh in at 35# more than you.

Once you got going I'm sure it would, you might have to push start it from the stop though.

riding 3-up on my aero (probably around... 390 pounds) overheated the engine, as evident by it's inability to idle.

two on the seat, one on the rack, and a lot of determination.

Dateline: Deepinnaharta, Texas.
At the Pee-Wee Herman Memorial hospital today, a team of six Trauma Surgeons worked feverishly for three hours in an attempt to extract a 50cc scooter which was hopelessly impaled in this guy's *. Ultimately they were successful in performing the separation. The unidentified man is in Stable condition, but attempts to rescuscitate the scooter were unsuccessful. Transplant teams were called to Memorial to distribute parts, as the scooter was an organ donor.

:)

Looks to me like it'll take about 480. OK, so it's not an Aero. :roll: Check out Limp's Ruima shock at sleepyscooters.com Might be good for 500. :thumbwink:
