Max weight you ask? Well......Let me see now.

"I" weight 300# (down from 380# ) My homemade trailer can haul 300#, my bike
weight 45#, so I can "haul" 645# easy!

My Worksman PAV trike is heavy duty machine weighing in at 105#, so with the trunk I installed,
which can haul 350#, I figure roughly 455# total trike adding 300# for my butt you get a
whopping 755# that I hual when fully loaded! Holy God! I'm 255# overlimit!

God! No wonder I ride that trike in low gear all the time.
