I had a visitor to whom I offered a ride on my XT without thinking about his size (6'1", maybe 330 lbs). He climbed on, Mr. Redface started growling, and the tires bulged out until the batteries touched the floor. He got right back off without rolling anywhere and the machine forgave me, but it was an XT with big, soft tires.

Possibly, the tires are the limiters.

I take my P133 when I go to hospitals to see neurologists and pulmonologists, and I offer rides whenever feasible, but an amazing portion of the people there seem to weigh over 260. I tell them straight up that the machine can safely handle only about 250 lbs and let them decide. I haven't had anyone heavy volunteer to ride.
