Yup, seconded: the weight limit matters! And it’s not just balance; it’s safety. The brakes and the frame are designed to certain tolerances.
My bike can carry ~185 lbs of passenger + cargo with me and all the accessories on it. Specs aren’t hard to come by, but do note that they usually give max gross weight (which includes bike + rider + accessories) and not just cargo weight.
