Why an Ebike
- You can in place of a car a lot of times
- If your not feeling good you can still ride and let the bike do more work
- You still get a workout completely dependent on you for how much
- You can carry more stuff when you are not as worried about weight
- You can have friends ride with you that are of different ability
- It’s fun and you will ride more because of it and use it for more things
- They are harder to steal
- You can use it as a platform to do fun stuff like a light show or charge your phone or a friends phone etc
- You can help others bring more tools and even help push others if needed ie someone breaking a chain etc
Why the Rattan Fatbear plus
- This is subjective but love the look
- ergonomics are comfortable in a pinch you can text and its easier to take pics and video be careful when doing so though
- A rare case where marketing is the real deal IPAS tech extends range a ton sometimes double what other bikes in this segment can do
- Folds and fits in the back of my car where my road bike won’t and other ebikes don’t
- Can do both club road rides and mountain bike rides with same bike
- Lower center of gravity has a great feel
- Can do sand or snow (haven’t tried snow but sand is fun)
- Sooo smooth over rough urban streets
- Double suspension can handle really rough off-road others in this segment dont have this
- Price is great even spare battery is half of what other companies charge
- Gearing is better then other bikes in this segment where I can maintain 30 mph on road but also has a high enough gear for steep stuff most others in this segment have lower end components like Shimano tourney this is Altus
- Details in general are just nicer with this bike, light cable management etc
- Company has been great to deal with and a dealer not too far away
- You can fold the stock down for a quick run into Starbucks
- Security has both software lock and physical key lock and no 2 keys are alike meaning you have to make copies of existing keys
- There is a spot for fender and rack that allows it to still fold and build stuff on
