Lol, Living in Minnesota having a fatbike is a necessary tool for the winter months. My specialized Fatbike works like a champ, 0 issues. Not for everyone, but definitely for me. Happy Holidays!
Fellow Minnesota resident, Totally agree. I have a fat hard tail with narrow Q factor. Knees are fine, don't ride mud anyway, does awesome in the snow and ice, fun in the dirt, good workout on pavement. Have a set of 29ers to make it a normal or plus hard tail to mix it up. Check my profile picture, downhill fatbike racing at Spirit Mountain in Duluth, MN.
Fat bikes are like a specialized tool for certain conditions and who doesn't like tools? I use my fat bike in winter and I install studs that allows me to ride on glaze ice when all the cars are sliding around, just make to stay out of their way.
I ride a Diamondback Hybrid. Top speed is about 50 km/h for 10 minutes on the flat. It can handle trails, hills, road courses, sidewalk and fields with its compliant front suspension and 21 speed gear selector. Cruising speed is about 30 km/h. It becomes uncomfortable within about 50km but I find it to be a good blend of everything.
since about 10 days i have a dual motor fatty.. and its superb ... a beast of a bike with 2 x 1.5 kw ... easy pulls up a hill.. or through very high grass where a normal bike sucks...loose sand?? no problem i mainly use it on street so i changed the cross tires against street tires (and still runs fine on a gravel road) fat bike needs more energy.. yes.. but on these you also find bigger battery packs and if you mainly use it on steet (like me)... then do not run them flat ... pump them up to 1.5 bar and they feel like mopped tires (suspension has to do the job not the tire!) .... a foam inley is heavy but with a bit smaller tube and that self sealing stuff in the tube its quite safe against snakebites or punch holes ... no a fatty is not a real downhill racer or a hardcore trail bike ... but it has its points you do not go on paris Dakar with an F1 racer... and you do not try to win monaco F1 Race with a Jeep... i love my dual power fatty ... easy pulls v be it uphill, high grass . or pulling a trailer with some food (i do not have a car) and unrestricted its fast without any further moddings (57 to 58kmh on a flat road)... all the smaller kinks and bumps are smoothed out... ITS A TANK OF BIKE 😂
@@chargeriderepeat7024I have a fatty and the pedals are not much wider as on my regular bike... (and I do not pedal as much anyway cause it has TWO beefy motors!!)
Funny video, but in all honesty I live in central Canada where we have a very very long winter and my fatbike allows me to feel safe and ride the icey and snow roads all winter long to work and even be able to hit beautiful snowy trails i haven't fallen or anything. Best investment I have ever made I love cycling and it allows me to ride year round!
@@jamesferguson2353 the larger wheels do pull a little on uneven surfaces, such as the edge of a road. Probably not a big issue just something I found unusual.
I've got a fat tyre bike on the road they are great that's where you ride a bike on road. Any tyre in mud won't do well why ride a bike in mud. Tubeles is the best if I get a puncture fix at side of road with plugs simple half an hour. Or the best is keep in short distance from where you live so you don't have along walk home. If you take your bike 20miles away the road is the same as 2 miles away it's like green grass your not goog to go 10mukes to see green grass when I can see it out side where I live see my point
I came off my fat bike on black ice right outside my factory infrount of the boss. He had to help me up .I got a busted shoulder but the bike was fine so that's OK. ❤😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
never seen anyone climb a tree with a bike before to be honest ! and it was funny how that guy did like a BMX jump then broke the front fork, that guy that lives in the cotswolds had a couple of them fat bikes for the first time earlier this year and he seemed to favor them, so does the guy that sells the HV modification kits for the BBSHD, but I still dont understand the appeal. I have seen a few in the past couple of years and they look like they were probably made for pennies in China, they were riding quite slowly too.
Sorry i don`t agree , should of said 6 bad riders, Also could of said 6 reasons fat tyres can do what a thin tyres cant, You can`t` compare a tractor to a car, witch you`re` trying to do.
All these reasons are cancelled out by the big grin I have whenever I see one, and Jumbo Jim's have never been so cheap 😁

I will make a vid, ten reasons why fatbikes are awesome 😂.
I love mine on the sand
Thanks for the video! I myself just built my third Fatty. I love, love riding mine 🙌 ✌️ 😊
something something make the rockin world go round?

i mainly use it on street so i changed the cross tires against street tires (and still runs fine on a gravel road)
fat bike needs more energy.. yes.. but on these you also find bigger battery packs and if you mainly use it on steet (like me)... then do not run them flat ... pump them up to 1.5 bar and they feel like mopped tires (suspension has to do the job not the tire!) .... a foam inley is heavy but with a bit smaller tube and that self sealing stuff in the tube its quite safe against snakebites or punch holes ...
no a fatty is not a real downhill racer or a hardcore trail bike ... but it has its points
you do not go on paris Dakar with an F1 racer... and you do not try to win monaco F1 Race with a Jeep...
i love my dual power fatty ... easy pulls v
be it uphill, high grass . or pulling a trailer with some food (i do not have a car)
and unrestricted its fast without any further moddings (57 to 58kmh on a flat road)... all the smaller kinks and bumps are smoothed out... ITS A TANK OF BIKE 😂
They really are, and Ive just bought a legal one on 4.8s..complete beast.
how are the pedals wider set in a fat bike? They should not be affected at all.
The bottom bracket is wider so your feet clear the rear stays

I love the dude who's hydroplaning across the water thats funny.

They don't seem to have an advantage over a mountain bike and they cost a bit more.
They are perfect in sand, and that's why I have one.
No rocks to hit and not digging in is a win not a lose on sand.
@@johnnycab8986 Is there a weight penalty compared to normal size wheels and tires and can you tell if its harder to pedal?
@@chargeriderepeat7024 Seems a bit niche for a bicycle. In any case, thanks for the video and the reply.
@@jamesferguson2353 the larger wheels do pull a little on uneven surfaces, such as the edge of a road. Probably not a big issue just something I found unusual.
Not really, a top of the line fat tire bike cost around $1,800, decent ones are less a grand.
They're shit on snow to unless it's packed down.
Duh!!
Sorry, can't agree. Fat bikes are quite capable.
lol. They're not for everyone. I learned very quickly my tires hate gravel, sand and mud. I still haven't tried a fat bike.
You once said you were going to get an pedal ebike, go on man, get out there with the bears.
Of all the bikes I ride, my Fatbike might be my favorite. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
And my fattie is broken, waiting for a new freehub!!

I ❤ FATbike

Yup, my first ride on ice with my non studded tyres, it will be fine, they're fat tyres...slam on floor..oh.
Ice laughs at anything that isn’t actively stabbing it with a knife.
very good points
I won’t be riding in that slop.
😂 love this tongue and cheek video! I love fat bikes!
BTW, Minnesota is the birthplace of fatbikes!
I've never seen those vintage fatbikes before from the vid, I cant tell where that is.
Is it true Surly was the first?
I have 29 " kellys tnt with maxxis ardent 2.4 " tires and never needed a fatbike 😊
Awesomeness
I love fat tire mine is great and fun to ride and great work out
Yup, I love mine of course 😂
This is how to not ride
I have a fat tire e-bike and a high end e-MTB. Love them both for different uses. 😄

That's Sam Pilgrim breaking the fork, I like the fatbike because it is a conversation starter, and I like good chat 😄
у меня фэтбайк и я по свой ему опуту скажу что фэтбайк это настоящий вездеход люблю фэтбайк
Not agree with you..,sorry 🤷
Ive just bought another one myself :)

This must be satire. Or nonsense.
It actually says silly video on my pinned post, though I stand by the sore knees and the mud.
I've had the proper lurgy for a few weeks, so another silly video.
