20 Best Bikes For Overweight Female (2023 Updated)

Overall I like the way the bike rides. It is easy to pedal, even uphill. But I hate the color! It is NOT the same pink as in the picture. It is closer to lavender than pink. I should have traded it out when I picked it up, really wishing I had.

Bought this bike 2 months ago for my wife’s Birthday. She loved it! Classic style and colors were perfect. The quality and customer service provided was excellent. Will be looking soon to upgrade the kids bikes as well!.

Bought this for my daughter and she loves it. She wanted a purple beach cruiser and this one fit the bill perfectly. The beach bikes crew have been very up front and helpful if needed. I would certainly recommend this bike and seller to anyone.

Haven’t ridden in a while. didn’t even know they made a 90 degree riding style bike where you are essentially sitting up straight. Perfect for folks with back problems and excellent for those with carpal tunnel.

no pressure at all on the arms/hands. Smooth 21-speed shifting. I haven’t been on a bike in years and I rode 12 miles all through town the day after getting this. I did buy padded bike shorts and that saved the day as the seat is just a stock seat, not horrible, but not enough padding for me – I will be replacing it so I can do longer rides without padded shorts.

The tires are huge but I think it just makes it look even cuter. I will have to learn to take the front one off so I can rack it otherwise it will touch the ground (I have a sedan). also, you will have to buy an extension bar (about $40) to attach under the seat and under the handlebars to be able to put this on a rack.

glad I saw someone mention this in another review because I would not have been able to put it on my friends bike rack. Also, check the extension bar limitations, mine said up to 33lbs and this bike (16″ frame) weighs about 35ish.

I was comfy with that but if you get a bigger frame, it might be too much weight on the bar available at Dick’s.

I spent months researching bikes and narrowed down to Schwinn Fremont and Schwinn Fordham. My height 5′ 6″ = 16″ frame good. Online, I loved the blue Fremont. When I visited Dick’s to see/ride/purchase Fremont, I discovered : 1) tires are thin (not helpful for my balance), 2) tire size is 28″ special order, not 26″ standard.

Other than that, the bike is a beauty – step through, spring comfortable seat, adjustable handlebars, kick stand included, etc. As an older rider, I decided on mint green Schwinn Fordham instead. I made the right choice for me.

Huge “thank yous” to the knowledgeable, helpful, patient young men who work at Dick’s Brandywine & Christiana Mall.

The Sixthreezero (STZ) Body Ease Women’s 7-Speed Comfort Road Bicycle was purchased during the middle of the pandemic to give my wife and me an outlet for outdoor exercise. My wife’s knee issues required a bike that was both easy to get onboard and easy to pedal.

This quality bike fulfilled both of those needs and offers an upright riding position that is very comfortable. We received very good guidance from the STZ staff in making this selection. Assembly was also very simple especially with STZ’s video guides.

Finally, the Forever warranty, which has not yet been needed, made this purchase an easy choice. The only issue was the long delay in delivery due to the bike’s back-order status but we are glad we waited.

I was looking for a super cute, aluminum (lightweight), front wheel quick release (fits in the back of my car), comfortable new bike with gears and the women’s Body Ease (mine is mint green) has exceeded all my expectations.

The easy step through along with the shock suspension of the seat and wheel are a huge bonus. I preordered my bike during the pandemic and it actually came almost two months earlier than expected. My husband put it together in about an hour with the help of a Sixthreezero video from the website.

I have been riding 15-20 miles every weekend and I couldn’t be happier. It is a super smooth and comfortable ride, simple gear shifting, easy to lift into the car and up/down stairs, and is 100% absolutely adorable.

I went back and forth looking at city bikes and more traditional beach cruiser looking “hybrids” and am so happy I chose the Body Ease. It’s perfect for riding around town and on the local bike paths.

And in case I didn’t say it enough times. it is very, very cute!.

The bike is awesome. Putting it together was less awesome. Purchased the bike last summer, received it early 2021 (not their fault – supplier issues in the midst of Covid-19). They were responsive to my check-ins about when it would be delivered and even gave me a small refund for the trouble.

Putting the bike together was much more difficult that I had anticipated; it took me and my partner many hours and I did end up getting it professionally tuned up in the end before taking it out to make sure all was good.

There are youtube videos available that were helpful, but I still struggled quite a bit. But! Since getting it put together, the bike is a dream. It’s been super fun, rides great and looks wonderful.

I have been riding a Burnett bike. I love the bike sitting lower. I am able adjust my feet to extend fully for the pedals and have much needed support/stability for my feet when stopped. While I have rear baskets preventing me from easily moving my leg over the seat, the lower frame would allow much easier mounting that way.

I like the crossbar sloping down more for my Huffy so than my old Burnett. This makes it much easier stepping through and off the Huffy. The bike/fenders all were very sound. I perhaps felt a somewhat lower gear ratio on the huffy, perhaps making going uphill ever slightly easier, not sure.

Oh, lol; it may be good for those writing instructions for assembly to 1, inform the customer the left pedal thread is “left hand” or turn to left to tighten. 2. Inform the customer how new tubes may need to be filled less than optimum at first and ridden a short while to keep tube from bulging the tire out.

I bought this for my daughter (Christmas 2021). At first, she loved it. However, last night on our ride I noticed a clicking noise when she peddled. Later in the night, I found the noise coming from the hub so I took it apart and found almost no grease in the hub.

So I cleaned it, greased it, and reassembled. Its a little better but still a little noisy. I am concerned there is permanent damage and the cost of a hub will be greater than the entire bike. Its a pity she only rode it regularly for about a week now.

I just want to say that this bike is exceptional for riding uphill. I live on a hill and when I was using a regular old bike it was getting harder and harder to even try to bike upwards anymore. After getting the bike together with some assembly required with the right tools, it was smooth riding from there.

I love how the assist pedaling works. I no longer have to exert a lot of energy just to get anywhere by bike. If I go riding with my younger friends they are amazed on how much faster I can go now. I love riding this in my suburban area.

There is a lot of ease and comfort going on when I bike. It makes me want to get outside and get more exercise because it doesn’t stop you from getting more of that either. The tires are sturdy and I was able to get on the bike right away without any extra adjustments.

I can get more places without having to spend money on gas while driving a car. This bike has let me ride for many more miles per day than before, something which is more difficult for an older female.

I would recommend the bike for any age, though. Brakes work well. Now I have to get one for my significant other to keep up with me! The bike is so fun! This is the first time I have ever used an electric bike and I love it already.

I got this bike on a Monday and my husband assembled it right away. We placed the battery on charge just to make sure it was ready for a nice long ride on Tuesday. I wasn’t sure if I was going to know how to work the gears but they were very simple to figure out.

We started out on our ride and I’m used to pushing my bike up the hills. I was so excited when I started up the hill because it just climbed up the hill with no effort at all. We had such a good time.

I can,t wait to ride this bike again. The seat is nice and cushiony so my butt was comfortable for the whole ride. The frame of the bike is heavy metal and good quality. It’s amazing that I can get up to 20 MPH while riding.

I can get about 25 miles out of a single charge so I don’t have to worry that the battery will die half way through my ride. I’m sure it would go quite a bit longer on a single charge but I just picked that number of miles to make sure that it is properly charged before I go on a ride.

I would definitely recommend this bike if you want to have the time of your life while out on a bike ride. This totally makes a bike ride so much more fun that you will want to ride it every day.

It took a minute to figure out how to assemble but once I had someone else help me and had the right tools it was a breeze. This is an amazing bike that is so smooth and easy to ride. I wasn’t sure what to expect as I’ve never had an electric bike but it does not disappoint especially when it comes to hills.

I use to dread pedaling uphill but now with this bike I don’t stress when I see the hills. The charge on this bike is also great. I plug it in after every other ride or so and I haven’t had any issues with it staying charged.

The gears on the bike are super easy to use and understand as well. This bike is definitely an investment but I know it’s one that will get lots of use and create fun memories with the family. If you are looking for a bike to take on joy rides this is the one.

I bought both a 26″ 7-speed and 24″ 3-speed Urban lady for my daughters. No issue with the 24″. I think the 26″ may have been a refurbished item. When I received it, the front brake was not assembled and since there were no directions on brake assembly (not just adjustment) I assume it wasn’t supposed to be that way.

I also noticed that on the 24″ there was a removable plastic film over the gear indicator. That was not present on the 26″ gear indicator. Plus there were some light scratches on the underside of the gear selector knob.

Also, the gear selector knob took much more effort to downshift than I expected and what is required on the 24″. Not impossible to shift, and it seems to shift smoothly, just takes much more effort and a bit of a nuisance.

On the 26″ 7-speed, I was unimpressed with the brake and wheel. The front wheel seemed not quite truly round which made the wheel stick to the brake. It took a lot of fiddling with the brake to get it acceptable.

The 24″ bike was no problem and is just fine. I’m glad I have both to compare to one another which makes me think the 26″ was a refurb.

I gave this 4 stars because although the weight limit is 350, the seat that comes with it does not hold that much weight. The springs are not firm enough and makes the seat basically fold backwards making you feel like the seat will break.

The bike came well packaged and with no scratches. You will need several tools to put the bike together. The baby blue color is nicer in person and is a bit darker than what you would think baby blue would be.

It is a pretty bike. I recommend this model, but with an aftermarket seat.

I bought this bicycle because of the weight capacity. I really enjoy this bicycle but before the 2 weeks of owning this, I started having problems. The 7 speed would shift up but down shifting, it would jump gears.

Started on a 2 mile ride yesterday and the gears started jumping then I had no gears or chain. The chain came apart. So I’m not happy. We contacted firmstrong and they said to take the bicycle to a bike shop and have it repaired.

They said they would reimburse us the repair amount. So, we shall see.

I got the men’s version of this exact bike It was delivered quicker than expected It has a 6 mile max range and then takes over 4 hours to charge The head light is weak and keeps falling off The horn is an embarrassing thing that sounds like it was made for a 3 year old children’s tricycle The seat is EXTREMELY uncomfortable and wobbly Rust started building up on the rims in less than 24 hours And comming out the box the attachment between the forks and goose neck is heavily rusted from the inside However it was easy to assemble despite the poorly written instructions except for the light and basket After U tubing those were super easy to assemble The basket is actually functional though will break soonThe paint appears REALLY good quality but requires a test or time.

, it’s probably going to flake off The carrier rack on the back appears durable The tires actually have a surprisingly good traction grip and the fenders are durable Also like the kick stand and twist throttleBut the original ebikes from the 1990s are superior in every way.

This bike has all the bells and whistles, literally!!. The bike arrived very quickly after I placed my order. Took advantage of the assembly credit and had it assembled at a local Trex bike shop. They were also very impressed with the bike.

The bike is gorgeous and comes with a great basket that has a retractable cover so things you carry can’t fall out(they thought of everything), and lights a bell and a horn. The back bumper also has a bike rack system for additional packing capacity.

I was waiting to review after I rode the bike but we have had snow so I have not been able to ride it yet. Did not want to delay my review. I will write again after I go for a spin. I am beyond thrilled with this purchase.

Great bike, great price and great communication from the seller.

Pros: -Incredible steel frame -great paint job -Feature filled for the price -Very sturdy -Locking center stand is handy for bike work -Factory defects are readily covered by the owner Cons -Much heavier than most bikes -LED headlight was a bit dim -Some fasteners were over-tightened -Included wire basket feels flimsy -“Pedal assist” is useless -Motor freewheels poorly -Lack of power leaves you wanting more.

I hope they make a new updated, more powerful, 48V version. If you plan on upgrading your bike from scratch, this step through frame is a GREAT starter. It’s thick, heavy, and has decent reinforced dropouts.

The bike was originally designed to carry a lead acid battery pack and can handle riders up to 300lb. As an owner of (2) Nakto step through bikes (and one of their 20inch hub motors), I heavily recommend you invest your money into a bike from LunaCycles, RadPower, or JuicedCycles.

Nakto uses a motor with high drag and poor freewheel performance. (It’s like riding with your brake’s partly depressed) It was a noticeable difference when I swapped 250w motor’s from another American company; it allowed me to pedal the bike with the motor off much more easily than the ones they provide, changing the experience of the bike.

250 watts, 36VV on a geared hub is not enough power for hills, nor enough speed for cross country travel. It is enough to make your ride a more positive, if only a leisurely, experience, but coupled with the short gears (44?/14t) you’re hard limited to 18mph due to the drag on the motor.

You’ll get your workout that’s for sure. You can put 48v on this, but you’ll still have to fight against the motor drag, which in my experience, has lead to a rather short motor life. In short, get a known E-bike that is 500w rated or better.

You’ll have more functional settings, more powerful assist, excellent product support, and never have to worry about upgrading a thing. Do what you love and stay healthy. -Dean.

The bicycle is great for your casual rides around your neighbor hood. I had to bring my bicycle to a bike store and pay to have it set up. Bicycle manual for set up were overwhelming! Unfortunately the bike repair shop had cost me as much as what I paid for the bike.

But otherwise I am very happy with purchase and to ride again. Love being able to adjust my seat myself. Great price for bicycle. Love the color!!.

I was looking for a bike that was inexpensive, cute, and comfortable to ride. This one hits all three. My arms tend to go numb from elbows down while riding mountain bikes because of the position my body has to be in while riding them.

This cruiser bike has my posture upright and my arms are relaxed versus supporting my body. The bike is easy to ride, the gears are perfect for hill climbs. The gears don’t accommodate going fast and maintaining speed, they are intended for enjoying the scenery and taking a relaxing ride.

I have two small kids that just ate learning how to ride without training wheels. I don’t need some expensive bike built for speed. This works amazing for riding around my neighborhood or campgrounds with my kids.

The basket and cup holder are very useful and people always yell at me that they love my bike :).

I bought this bike for my wife, and she loves it. She loves the hot pink color and the basket. It is very feminine, and she gets lots of compliments. However; you must take care to set this bike up correctly.

I bought this bike already assembled, and I realize that Walmart is not a bike shop. They do not have bike technicians setting up these bikes. I took it to my local bicycle shop to inspect it and adjust everything perfectly.

The only real problem with this bike is the brakes. The brake pads are very cheap. They squeal like a pig. No problem because I just bought some quality pads from the bicycle shop. Problem solved. This bike is very pretty and my wife loves it.

Just make sure to have it adjusted properly and setup right.

This is my first full suspension bike. I purchased it from the Liv dealer in my hometown Missoula, MT during the pandemic so did not get to test ride it. As I read the other reviews I see many people comment on loving the aesthetics (look) of the bike.

I agree, it’s beautiful. I love it’s drive on the climb and technical turns made easier for sure but I am working so hard at it on this hefty girl bike. Prior to this I was on the 2019 Giant Fathom which I just loved! Here’s my challenge with the 2021 Liv Intrigue, it’s so heavy.

It weighs 35. 5 lbs! I am 5 foot 7 and about 160 lbs. Riding this bike compared to my hardtail is just not as joyful because it’s a beast due to it’s weight. I will be upgrading to a new full suspension after this season and will not buy again without a test run first.

My friend paid a lil’ extra for the Pique in 2019 and it is so much lighter and easier to navigate. I’ve started calling my bike Big Bertha! Note that I love the climb and this bike is just not a good fit for me.

It’s descent is great but it is also not as fast as other bikes on the downhill. Just grateful to have gotten any bike at all during the pandemic but I will be trading up after this season and lesson learned.

I wish Liv would include the bike weight in specs because that is important to me. Wish I had not sold my 2019 Giant Fathom hardtail. Thinking of investing in a carbon frame full suspension.

I’ve been an avid road biker and mountain biker for about 25 years. Have only had carbon bikes. Decided to get an electric bike for super hilly mountainous areas. However, it is so much more comfortable than my road bike without having to lean over so much, it takes the pressure off my neck and shoulders.

I decided to get a mountain a bike so that I could ride it on any terrain which includes dirt, single track, sand, gravel roads and paved roads. Will definitely quit using my carbon road bike and use this instead.

Best purchase ever!.

I have taken this little lady on at least a dozen rides on my local trails and am just absolutely smitten with its performance. I took a newer Trek model out to demo it prior to this purchase and I was not a fan of the Trek.

The frame was a small but I felt very compact/squished and the gears didn’t shift low enough for my endurance with climbing (the Trek model was more for downhill riding). The frame I bought with the Intrigue is a small and fits like a glove for me (5’4″ female).

The drop seat post is not at its highest when I adjust the seat for climbing, so it seems that there is even a little more wiggle room for a slightly taller person. The suspension is buttery, the drivetrain shifts low enough to climb with ease on steep slopes (common where I ride), and high enough that it moves fast into a descent.

The frame is relatively lightweight. Gosh, the color is gorgeous. It reminds me of the iridescent sheen of a beetle. It is truly an excellent all-mountain bike. Friendly for the uphill climbs and is so fun and flowy to hit downhill single track–it absorbs impact from little jumps with ease.

And for the price, it might be hard to beat.

I bought this bike last month and I am happy that I did. The bike was very competitively priced at Moosejaw which was one of my deciding factors in the purchase. The bike arrived exceptionally well packaged, lacking any damage.

I was more than pleased with the quick shipping and great packing. The bike is a great quality and is a fun ride. I like this bike because it offers exceptional quality at a entry level pricing. This bike is great for beginners and ever intermediates!.

Great hardtail for anyone wanting to get into mountain biking without breaking the bank completely. Works well as a entry level trail bike and doubles as a good option for commuting. -1 star due to chain rattle issue (but this can be fixed with the purchase of a cheap chain guide online) and due to minor issues adjusting front derailleur.

If those 2 relatively minor issues were amended this would be a 10/10 starter bike. Nonetheless, great quality starter bike. 9/10 overall.

I love reading new MTB reviews but it seems like the reviews are lacking in one area. There are hundreds of reviews of $6,000+ bikes with thousand dollar drivetrains. However, there is a lack of reviews of entry-level bikes and bikes that most people can actually afford.

I just purchased a Diamondback Overdrive 2 29er hardtail. Want to add a caption to this image? Click the Settings icon. For the price I don’t know if you can beat what you get with this bike. For me the stand out points are: a solid, lightweight aluminum frame, a SRAM NX/GX drivetrain, a Rock Shox Reba fork (100mm travel), and the WTB Nine Line tires.

If you tried to build this bike yourself and bought all the parts separately you wouldn’t be able to come close to the under $1,500 price tag. It even comes with some really cool extras that most bikes don’t include, like a mud flap, pedals, and a basic torque wrench and tools (pictured below).

Click here to see more https://www. zionbikes. store There are some parts and components that the typical rider would want to upgrade after purchasing this bike. The handlebars (740mm) are not wide enough for my liking.

Even though the rims and tires are tubeless compatible, the bike arrives with tubes. Tubeless stems are included and this would be an easy upgrade. The lack of a dropper post is the most evident missing ingredient, but it is understandable that Diamondback does not include one in this price point.

If you plan to do any longer rides on this bike you would want to upgrade the saddle as well. The tread on the WTB NineLine tires are geared for cross-country riding. If you were to use this as a trail bike you would want to have a deeper, more aggressive tread pattern.

See my list of Good, Better & Best Tires here https://www. zionbikes. store/extras Putting all that aside the most important question is how does it ride? The Rock Shox Reba fork has only 100mm of travel.

This bike is not designed to take down rocky, technical terrain. It is very much geared towards cross-country riding. I bought it to keep up with the high school riders on my local NICA team. As long as you stay on the trails that this machine is designed for it is an awesome bike, especially for the money.

Being a hardtail 29er this bike climbs very well and is very efficient. It handles smooth trails and light rocky terrain with ease. It climbs easily and carries momentum well. For a hardtail with more traditional geometry it descends remarkably well.

If you are looking for a traditional hardtail you will not find a better one for the price. This would be an excellent bike if you are on a NICA team or if you just enjoy riding fast. See more at https://www.
