If you're sitting in it then the 600 pound rating isn't too far off. If not then 200 should be fine. Why an electromagnet? One of those quick release NdFeB assemblies would be much easier to build/install, and less complicated to operate. Just make sure you can reach the lever!
Got a link? The chair is 375# and I'm 180. That's the static weight I don't know how much vehicle momentum will affect that.
