Where did you find the specs? and is that for the current model? I'm curious to know what the weight limit is on my bike. The new sun recumbents are made differently. Mine is the older model EZ-1 SuperCruiser The frame is made of box steel and looks almost like a ladder. I can't believe that it wouldn't handle your weight. I bought mine 2nd hand for under $350.00 and it was in like-new condition. I wouldn't hesitate to let you ride it just to see if you'd like that sort of thing as a reward bike.
