minus-squareCritical_Insight@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 year agoI bought an eFatbike almost exactly a year ago and have already put almost 4000km on it. In my case it’s for recreational use though.
minus-squareMeanEYE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoeFatbike? That seems counter-intuitive. You’d get far better range by downsizing tires.
minus-squareCritical_Insight@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoYeah, but with skinny tires you can’t do this
minus-squareMeanEYE@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoIf you ride it in winter, more power to you.
minus-squareCritical_Insight@feddit.uklinkfedilinkarrow-up4·1 year agoI have an MTB aswell with 2.5" wide tires, but that’s imposible to drive on snowy trails, so my intention was to get eFat for winter riding, but it completely supplanted my MTB.
minus-squareFartsWithAnAccent@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoRiding in sand and/or snow are pretty much the only reasons, I guess that and it absorbs a decent amount of bumps if you have shitty roads.

That’s awesome then.
