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
