Fat Tire Vs Regular Tire

Fat Tire vs Regular vs Traditional Tire 

Fat tire ebikes are becoming more and more popular these day. But should you get a fat tire ebike? Why do some ebikes have wider tires? 

Fat Tires hold more air, and air = comfort. As you hit bump and pot wholes, the air does a great job absorbing these bumps and ensuring you stay comfortable

Fat Tires are also more stable. Imagine this: you have to walk over a very narrow piece of wood, that can be challenging, but if it the wood was wider, walking over it will be way easier. It's the same of ebike tires, the wider the tire, the easier to is to balance

Fat tires also have more contact with the road, giving better traction and stability over loose terrain, grass, gravel, train tracks, and even snow and sand 

On the other hand, fat tires will usually be about 10 lbs heavier. And because of the extra traction, they are harder to pedal, leading to a reduced battery range
