The present application describes systems and methods for detecting more than a predetermined number of riders on a vehicle. Embodiments may either infer or directly measure the mass of the user and the vehicle using one or more sensors on the vehicle to calculate the mass using a microprocessor coupled to the one or more sensors. The system and methods may take various steps to encourage riders to dismount the vehicle if the total number of riders, determined by weight, exceeds the allowed number.
