The frames themselves can take 1000lbs easily. The wheels are another matter and depending upon whether the load is static or dynamic, the amount will vary. About 300-500lbs each on the wheels is about right. Hitting a pothole at speed can load the wheels and frame up with 2-3x your weight in force.
