Fat tire bikes have been around for a very long time, and fat tire e-bikes are increasing in popularity every year. There are many reasons why e-bikes have become a rapidly growing segment of the bicycle market. For anyone interested in a fun and healthy outdoor activity, the pedalling assistance from a strong motor and capable battery opens all sorts of biking possibilities.
But what are the main advantages of Fat Tire Electric Bikes? Find out below:
Improved Stability and Balance
Fat tires provide a superb foundation for riding. That nice, wide footprint makes for a very stable ride that helps the rider retain good balance. Fat tire e-bikes are simply easier to ride. Every rider is interested in easier control and balance. Experienced riders love having more control, and new riders can more quickly become competent and at ease.
Traction, Traction, Traction
What’s the most important feature of any bicycle tire? You guessed it — traction. The traction provided by the tread on your tires keeps your bike moving and upright. Most fat-tire electric bikes have tires that are 4″ wide, or at least 3″ wide. Common sense tells us that a 4″ wide tire naturally provides far more traction than a 1.5″ or 2″ wide tire. Fat tire e-bikes are the undisputed champion of bicycle traction.
More Fun More Often
When riding is fun and comfortable, we tend to do it more often. With the extra stability, control, and balance, riding is more fun…even if you ride every day. A big part of the “comfy” aspect of fat tire e-bikes is that those 4″ wide tires offer a lot of cushioning. They really are helpful in absorbing the bumps, whether it’s potholes on city streets or exposed tree roots on a forest trail.
Fat Tires are the Best All-Terrain Tires
No matter where you like to ride, a fat tire e-bike can get you there in style and comfort. Those wide tires with the extra traction are equally at home on neighbourhood streets or rough and rocky trails; You can also tackle wet roads, muddy pathways, or scenic sandy beaches with confidence. With a fat tire electric bike, you have the added benefit of lowering your tire pressure as needed.
Selecting a Fat Tire Electric Bike
There are a few key items to check as you shop for a fat tire e-bike. Each item is important, so you want to be sure you are purchasing a fat tire e-bike that ticks all the right boxes.
Power
You’re making a significant investment, so you want to ensure that your new ride has the power to take you to all the places you enjoy riding. If your fat tire e-bike cannot handle the steep hills or provide the speed you need, then your riding is severely limited. Look for a 750-watt motor, and also you want a motor that provides plenty of torque, at least 85 Neuton Meters and preferably 95 NM or more.
Range
Excellent power is a must, but all that power isn’t of much use if your fat tire electric bike can’t run for longer rides. As you shop for your new e-bike, look for a battery that has a minimum of 48 volts and 14 amp hour capability. Anything less and you likely will not be satisfied with your purchase.
Multipurpose
A few fat tire e-bike customers will want an e-bike that is designed for a specific purpose, such as commuting, cargo delivery, or technical trail riding. Most riders want an e-bike that is suitable for several types of riding. Commuting to your workplace daily is great, but perhaps you also want take weekend rides at the beach, enjoy the scenery along a gravel road, or experience the quiet of an off-road trail. Look for a fat tire e-bike equipped for multipurpose use.
Payload
Payload is the total amount of weight your fat tire electric bike can carry safely, including the weight of the rider and any gear or accessories you may want your bike to carry. Look for a minimum of 300 pounds, and more is better. The more body weight a rider carries, the higher payload he or she will need.
The New All-Purpose All-Terrain Magicycle Deer ESUV Bike
For 2023, Magicycle Inc. has loads of ebikes for sale and is introducing a multipurpose fat tire e-bike, the Magicycle Deer ESUV. If you aren’t familiar with the ESUV term, that’s because it is a relatively new classification of e-bikes. You may have seen the ESUV term only in relation to automobiles, but it is becoming more and more in vogue for all-round e-bikes.
An ESUV bike can be thought of as the marriage of a strong EMTB (electric mountain bike) with a comfortable cruiser-style e-bike. The result is a ride that is very comfortable for cruising the streets or commuting to your workplace, but at the same time, it is also very capable to take you on off-road adventures. The Magicycle Deer ESUV is an especially stable, comfortable, and convenient fat tire e-bike.
Everyone loves the full suspension softail feature, and this e-bike also has something that is very difficult to find in an ESUV — it is designed with a step-thru frame. The vast majority of these all-around multipurpose ESUV bikes come only with step-over frames.
Get There in Style and Comfort
Wherever you may like to ride, the Magicycle Deer is equipped to get you where you want to go. Riders can explore with confidence, knowing the Deer gives all the needed comfort, power, and range. For most riders, comfort is important, but not at the expense of power. The Magicycle Deer gives you plenty of both! Knowledgeable ESUV shoppers definitely want a full-suspension electric mountain bike equipped with the power and torque you need to navigate the trails, steep hills, and long commutes. When you think about quick starts, cruising speed, and hill-climbing ability — all these are dependent on power and torque. You want an ESUV bike equipped with a strong motor, providing plenty of power.
Those steep climbs where you catch the best views are no fun at all without a powerful high-torque motor that gets you to the top. The Magicycle Deer comes equipped with an 1100-watt (peak) motor that will satisfy the demands of hill climbing, giving you the confidence to go off-road or tackle the steepest hills in your neighbourhood.
For easy, comfortable, relaxed riding, this freshly enhanced hub motor is an obvious choice. That choice is confirmed when you realize that hub motors are far more economical than mid-drive motors. With 1100 watts of peak power (750 watts nominal), the Magicycle Deer’s hub motor is a perfect size. If you settle for a 250-watt or even a 500-watt motor, your ESUV will feel underpowered on the steep hills.
To accompany all that power from the Deer, riders also get an amazing amount of torque. After all, the Magicycle Deer is a full-suspension ESUV intended for riding on any terrain, including tough and steep trails. To accomplish this, it absolutely must have a motor that delivers excellent torque. The Magicycle Deer’s motor is meticulously engineered to produce industry-leading torque — 96.8 Neuton meters! You won’t find many e-bikes that can give you that kind of torque. In fact, the Magicycle Deer has about the same torque as an 800cc motorcycle.
