whats the use case of those fat tire e bikes arent you just putting more stress on everything?
gas mopeds typlically only have 2.5/2/75 tires
>>
Road cyclists are fags, so they try to do the exact opposite of that but instead end up looking like even bigger fags

You may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

it doesn't matter, batteries make them effortless so it doesn't matter if you have fat tires.

I’m just tapping into the mind of the e-fatbiker here

it is 100% this these days but the original >USE CASE was for sand, snow, and other slippery but powder-like surfaces.

But yeah the modern fatbike enjoyer is a mix of DUI riders who realize that they are spending less on gas and wannabe gangsters who are too bad at The Game to even afford a clapped out Tercel. Sometimes both -- the retarded low-level drug dealer who is smart enough to realize his car has been NOOOOOTICED by local police, but is too stupid to realize that doing his rounds on a "bicycle" with 20" wide tires 6" thicc doesn't make him look virile, it makes him look like a low level drug dealer who is too scared to drive his own car to the evening sales meeting.

It has always bugged me that they have 4 inch tyres. I ain't a great fan of moped style ebikes due to silly design choices, such as this one. The other is the full suspension.

>>2067450
maybe it's to get away with cheap/non-existent suspension.

its a way to use tooling from cheap "baja" gas minibike ruff n toof scooters but sell more than five a year

theyre designed to be as cheap as possible (physically small, so a minimum of material/tooling) and as simple as possible (thus cheap to build but also appealing to the hicks buying them)

the target market for the original gas versions are hicks who need a toy bike to ride around the property that needs minimal maintenance, is cheap to buy, and can be thrown on the back of a tractor let alone into the bed of a truck even by a slovenly 55 year old who would die if he ran 25 feet.

you'll notice a lot of these crappy bikes have a giant fucking hole in the middle of the frame but use some off-the-shelf battery that doesn't fit in that space at all, and have a conspicuous something missing just ahead of the saddle. it's because that's where a tine 100-200 cc engine and gas tank would have gone

>>2067571
it's literally just cost-saving. small tire = less material = maybe you die but the margin for the seller was higher
