Tyres, most bicycle tyres only have a 100kg/125kg per tyre limit, its rarely equally shared continuously between the two tyres, so there is that.
On super smooth roads with no risk of potholes etc, yeah most bikes can handle more, but those roads don't really exist. Bullitts like other flex when they approach their limit, would say once you get more than 100kg in the front you will notice flex. Some of the old school steel long johns made with skinny tubes flex all over the place, dont' just feel it you can see them deform!

yeah weird. ^^^
anyone have any stories about overloaded cargo bikes, particularly the Bullitt? The official limit is 400 lbs including the rider for the Bullitt. Wording on the website implies the frame can take more than that, but the wheels may have a hard time. I've had near 450-500 lbs. Definitely felt a little much.
I see no reports of broken cargo bikes on the web anywhere.
