It's a "sport" scooter. I'm not sure what the weight limit is, but if you're looking to ride 2-up more than occasionally, and either or both of you are on the heavy side, you might want to look at something bigger and more powerful.

I mean, it'd be better than a Buddy, it's not straining under the weight or anything, but you'd just lose the sporty feel of the 1-up ride, and it's crowded, and you'll lose some top-end speed and acceleration.

If you just think you might need to give someone a ride occasionally, it's fine for that.

i just looked through my 2006 blur manual and can't find a weight limit. your body size and that of the passenger will determine how comfy you'll be riding 2-up. i'm 6'1" @ 200 lbs and my wife is 5'7" at 130 lbs and the blur has no trouble whatsoever hauling us around up to about 55 mph or so. Going up long or steep hills can be an issue with the cvt, sometimes even with 1 rider, but only when you are riding 'wide open'... with a slight loss of top end speed until the apex or a lesser incline. long trips could be brutal to some if you are 40 or older, but younger folks probably wouldn't have any complaints. it is a stiff ride overall, but overall pleasant.

when we cruise longer distance, i simply use my sym 250 ...
