32 pounds... half of that weight is the wheels and the rack is just under 2 pounds.

It is a far easier bike to propel than one would think... I have one leg that does not work at 100% and the low contact pressure on those 4 inch tyres offsets the weight, the lower gearing, and fact it maintains it's speed fairly easily means that a gimp like me can ride this over a lot of challenging terrain.

It climbs really well with the gearing it has (3 speed) and an 8 speed wheel is in the works for more of that.
