I purchased an ultra trx e2 terminator about a month back and am still waiting for it. Have you tested one before? I’m curious what your opinion is on it. I hope I wasn’t fleeced $5,438.

Any update on when the IGO Outland OKA review will be done? Sounds like a very interesting bike, with an air fork and Torque sensor!

Why not include Ariel Riders Kepler 52V Electric Fat Tire Bike?
It’s 1000 watt motor, long battery life and specs are well ahead of many on this list. This should really be on your test competition list.

A dime a dozen huh? Wow
I know inflation is a little crazy right now but i wouldn’t call $5000 – $7500 ” a dime a dozen” .

I am curious as to why no mention of the Juiced RipCurrent S. It is innovative with its “torque sensor”, and seems to be an excellent bike (I have a Radmini4, so I do like your list). For a while I was set on the Aventon Aventure, but I am now seriously considering the RipCurrent S step-through for my next bike. FYI, I am 73, 5’5″, and 210 pounds.

I owned an aventure and found it to be dangerous for riding on trails because of the delayed throttle response, not sure why you never acknowledge that in your review

All chinese hub motor internet direct to consumer BS.

I guess nobody reputable makes a good fat bike these days? What happened to the Norco Bigfoot?? That sucker would trounce the rest of these in all categories except class 3.

Why not a three wheeler fat tire with front and back suspension for us riders over 70! Maybe get rid of the derailleur and substitute in new internal hub and sometimes motor? This would be a great electric bike for me!!! Maybe put on more suspension than I need making for smooth ride on dirt pot hole roads?
Just putting dreams together here. Thanks.

Thanks for an excellent article on Fat Tire bikes. I recommend that you include the E-Cells 2 wheel drive Fat Tire bike in your next review. I recently tested the E-Cells bike in the mountains of WV on a 3 day tour. It handled steep terrain very well. I sometimes loose traction with a single wheel drive fat tire bike going up steep hills in the winter with snow. The 2 wheel drive is good for pulling a trailer with a deer stand, hauling deer, trail maintenance and rescue work.
I also have a BH Big Bud 2 wheel drive Fat Tire bike. The BH bike is no longer available in the USA. Don Gerhardt

Great article! I’m also in Utah and agree with you – it’s great to support businesses here – some great people are here and of course everywhere, but especially here. You mentioned the good rear suspension of the Rockshock Monarch Shock on the Bakcou. I’ve got a custom-made fat tire ebike (1k watt Bafang middrive, 52 v battery, rigid frame yet soft Cloud 9 seat) but am looking for the right suspension to handle bone-jarring pot holes, one of which I hit a few days ago, and my teeth are still rattling. What would you recommend to help with that — a particular suspension seat post? (Have read good things about Thudbuster ST online but I don’t know what to get — I’d like to get the very best for that price range similar to the Thudbuster ST, but could use some guidance. This is my first time back on bikes in many years. My buddy is about to get a fat tire ebike and wants the same answers.) Also would you recommend front end suspension of some kind? I’m an older rider looking for stability, not off-road as much, but the potholes and occasional roads in disrepair are hazards I need to prepare for better. Thanks!
