E-Fat Bikes

E-Fat bikes are named for their supersized fat tires, which allow the rider to travel over diverse terrains like sand and snow that would be very tricky to traverse even on a typical e-mountain bike. The extra width of the tires provides extra grip and traction, making an e-fat bike the perfect choice for adventurous riders in need of an electric bike that can take on terrains that would normally stop a cyclist in their tracks.
