The Supercharger GT Vario HS looks ideal for heavier, heavy riding e-bikers as it features huge 1000Wh battery capacity, mega-strong Enviolo continuously variable hub gearing, suspension seatpost and the HS upgrade. Riese and Muller build e-bikes to extremely high standards and their HS option on suitable models mean saddle, seatpost and pedals are all upgraded for heavier riders. Heavier riders use more battery capacity. The Riese and Muller Suercharger2 integrates two batteries into its frame. You might also see a ‘total weight limit’ given by other manufacturers, and often this includes the weight of the bike.īy contrast, phrases like ‘maximum rider weight’ or ‘maximum load’ will clearly exclude the weight of the e-bike itself. If there is any doubt make sure you clarify with the dealer (preferably in writing) exactly what it refers to if the description is at all unclear. So you would need to subtract the e-bike weight off of this to get the max rating for rider and luggage. So, for example, Riese and Muller’s 2022 e-bike catalogue gives ‘Gross Vehicle Weight Capacity’ in their detailed spec reports. It’s essential you are clear whether the figure includes the weight of the e-bike or just refers to the rider and any extra cargo or passengers they load onto the e-bike. The average US male weighs around 200lbs / 90kg and the average female around 170lbs / 77kg so you can figure out if you class yourself as a heavy rider based on these benchmarks!Īn obvious first step in looking for an e-bike suitable for your weight is to look at the e-bike spec to see what the weight rating is. On some e-bike spec descriptions you won’t find any recommended maximum weight at all whilst others, like Rad Power Bikes, advertise weight ratings and payload capacities prominently. In any event, it is up to the manufacturer to make clear what is the maximum suitable weight and many manufacturers go above and beyond the minimum legal limit that might be specified in national law, or that specified in international standards. They may have been conservatively rated to ensure that e-bikes are not loaded to anywhere near their safe maximum limit, or a manufacturer may have been overenthusiastic with the rating in an effort to boost the performance credentials of their e-bikes. These can be a useful guide, but certainly no more than a guide.
One aspect of e-bikes not discussed that often but which is a very common point of advice for e-bike shop staff is the question of the ‘best’ e-bike for heavier riders.Īs you would expect, defining a single ‘best’ e-bike is tough, but most e-bike manufacturers give a recommended maximum rider weight rating for each particular model of e-bike.
