Vol-trading for beginners

Not a lot of fat bikes with motors. Cool. 750w as well!

Those are 4"s?

Yes 4".
On a flatground footpath/road top speed is 32 kmh.

The only bike (of mine) still in the house. A LaMere 5" fat bike hardtail carbon. Onyx hubs, Lauf carbon fork, titanium eeWings cranks, full XTR (rear-D is XT). 26lbs in a size large. The only regret is the price paid, but it's a blast.

I chuck it into this if I want to travel.

since we are on the topic. Bought this in August. I live in Hawaii and my father is an avid cyclist. We have a huge trail system right next to us on the mountain and ride mountain bikes everyday. But recently got into the electric bikes and they are so much fun. 32mph!

What it's like for a 6' bloke and long legs to ride one of them?
Would knees hit your chin?

Yeah, at least!

that was a huge concern. Surprisingly the bike looks bigger in person and 6ft is fine, no hitting knees.

The only downfall of this bike is the smaller sized thicker tires. While I do ride it on the trails it’s definitely not as fluid as a regular mountain bike, even with front and rear suspension. It’s more suited for flat dirt and roads. Extremely fun and fast tho, and a head turner.

love it. Double crown fork to boot.

I would bet I could wheelie that thing for a city block. Those rear hub motors are perfect for wheelies... so much torque. No weight on the front end.
