The electric bikes give riders the opportunity to going on long rides not worrying about hills or distance. Riders also can get as much or as little exercise as they want. I had various wheelsets over the past 28 years of racing and riding. If we talk about carbon wheels, the best ones were my Zipp 404 with the little ribs on the brake tract. To ride fast on firm ground, you’ll want to pump up to somewhere between 20- and 30 PSI, depending on how much bounce you can handle. You can pick and choose which add-ons will best suit your lifestyle, from lighting and locks to carrying options for cargo, passengers, or pets.

Trek’s flagship Farley 9.6 is extremely lightweight, especially by fat tire standards. At just 27 pounds, it’s easy to carry, transport, ride uphill, and then zip back down fast, as I did again and again over the course of a very fun day on the famed trails of Squamish. The RadRover 6 mongoose bicycle Plus sports a powerful 750W rear hub motor that helps the bike charge up hills. It features a motorcycle-style twisting throttle that works instantly, without the lag I’ve experienced with lesser bikes. Its Class-2 motor will provide pedal and throttle assist up to 20 miles per hour.
The five-level pedal assist system features a magnetic cadence sensor that makes assisted pedaling feel more natural, and the seven-speed derailleur makes steep hills a snap. If you plan on riding over normal or only slightly cracked pavement, gravel paths, or modestly bumpy trails, a fat tire bike with a rigid fork suspension and hardtail might be exactly what you’re looking for. They’re also better if you like riding in extreme cold. For the past several years, the Salsa Mukluk earned a following among fat tire fans doing it all and doing it well. Mountain bikers love how it handles winter-weather, slick surfaces, sand, or mud, as well as how it delivers a smooth ride for cruising around town. The classic Mukluk has gotten a refresh and a new name–the Salsa Heyday–which is just as versatile as its predecessor.

right here, right now, in real life. Pack extra water and a sandwich in case things go right and you’re having
too much damn fun to head home. Advanced riders may change their tire pressure multiple times over the course of a ride to fine-tune their performance for changing conditions. If you’re looking for a bike to take to the skatepark or dirt jumps, our dirt jump bikes are perfect.
These bikes are designed specifically for kids, with smaller frames and components that are easy for them to handle. QuietKat’s Jeep-inspired fat tire ebike is a high-performance monster that can carry you powerfully and confidently over whatever the great outdoors throws your way. Designed to take off-road trails like an SUV, the QuietKat Jeep bike can tackle mud, sand, snow, and even large rocks thanks to its robust suspension. Though the wheel radius is slightly reduced compared to that of other fat tire bikes–24 inches–to accommodate a smaller rider, the Argus ST features a 4-inch tire width and a seven-gear drivetrain. The tires themselves only do some of the work, though.
