P500 Too Big?

[Dustbowler]

How big is too big for a P500? I’m 5’11” and 280.

I'm about your weight and 6'1". I found it just fine. @100Acre is our resident giant, and he has a P5.

Might not be too much room between your gut and the wheel? As far as height, you'll be just fine. I flopped mine on it's side about 8 nor 9 times before I added wheel spacers and offset rims. Having more weight topside might make it floppy depending on how you drive. All the times I flopped though, I was going under 10 MPH. It was mainly due to not having a wide enough footprint and being way off canter. I sometimes refer to my 500 as the Clown Car being 6'9" tall and 250 lbs.

I also disconnected my sway bar for better handling and drift.................................................................We like to slide.........................sideways while driving 20+ mph on ridgeline gravel roads.

Thanks. I plan to use it on a hillside going back and forth to the river. The four wheeler I have had never even came close to tipping. Is the p500 a whole lot different? Now you have me wondering about the distance between the seat back and steering wheel...
thank you for all the info

I thought I was crazy in my p500, but you get yours up to 20 mph? You're a wild man!

Some of those backcountry Lake Pend Orielle national forest roads are perfect for it

 

[100Acre]

it is of course inherently dangerous.

 

[100Acre]

freaking love the feeling though!

I’m 17.5 hh and weigh 11.5 stone. I fit just fine, even with a 30 pack, watermelon and a bag of chips on my lap.

I'm 6'2" and 275 and have plenty of room. It's still comfortable after a long ride. I love it.
