4 Reasons Why You Should Buy Fat Tire Electric Bikes

Jan 30, 2021

Nowadays, there are various means of transportation in our daily life, such as cars, scooters, and motorcycles. Among them, the electric bicycle is undoubtedly a popular candidate in recent years. More and more people choose to travel by ebike to implement their low-carbon lifestyle. However, there are different types of electric bikes, hydraulic or mechanical disc brakes? Fat tire or thin tire? They are all issues we need to consider when buying an ebike. We have already discussed the brake system before, and now we are gonna talk about the differences between fat tires and thin tires. Literally, the difference between them is obvious, and it is indeed. But little things make a big difference. Fat tires will give you an unparalleled riding experience with thin tires. The fat tire ebike has a wide audience, with the advantages of comfortable riding and easy maintenance, which is very suitable for office workers with commuting needs, and middle-aged or elderly people. After reading this article, we believe that you will have a brand new understanding of fat tires and cannot wait to get one and try it! Let us go ahead!

 

Ride on More Terrain

So what is an electric fat tire bike? Typically, the width of fat tires should be around 4 inches, which is about twice that of normal tires. For example, all Himiway electric bikes are currently equipped with fat tires of 4 inches, the wider tire not only brings a more reliable appearance but more importantly, it has a larger contact area with the ground, which can bring you a stronger grip. In addition, wider tires correspond to more patterns, and more complex patterns can increase the traction and braking power of your ebike to a higher level. In summary, fat tire electric bikes can be ridden on various terrains more steadily and safely than conventional ones, whether on soft snowfield and beaches, or rugged mountain roads, it can easily cope with them all. Besides, fat tires are not easy to get stuck in some small cracks, which can prevent accidents to the greatest extent. In general, the fat tire ebike is suitable for a cycling trip in any season, whether you ride it on the snow ground in winter or the hot summer beach, it will always bring you an extraordinary comfortable riding experience and make you the focus of the crowd!

Comfortable to Ride

Comfortable to ride has always been the most recognized advantage of fat tire electric bikes. Wide enough tires are made of more rubber materials than traditional bikes and can contain a lot more air. Therefore, even in the case of low tire pressure, fat tires can still provide strong support. When your ebike tires start to leak slightly, the fat tires can still allow you to continue riding for a while. More importantly, fat tires give riders an unparalleled stable riding experience.  When riding on steep mountain roads, the fat tire ebike can steadily drive over small stones, greatly reducing the vibration. Their own shock absorption function can cushion the impact and easily cope with complex terrain, so fat tires ebike usually do not require bike suspension structure. However, in order to maximize the comfort of riding, some ebike manufacturers still use the suspension structure, just like the Himiway electric bicycle. Imagine riding an ebike equipped with both fat tires and suspension, what a comfortable riding experience it would be! When you ride a Himiway fat tire ebike, you will definitely feel as comfortable as riding on a soft sponge.

Great Workout for Senior

For many seniors, the lack of suitable exercise methods has always troubled them. The increase in age leads to the decline of physical function, so they are not able to do some strenuous exercise like they did when they were young. However, the rise of electric bikes has satisfied their urgent needs, especially the fat tire ones. As fat tires increase the weight of the bike, you'll need to make more efforts when the electric mode is off, which will definitely get your legs more exercised. On the other hand, cycling is considered a full-body sport. After an exciting cycling trip, your whole body gets exercised, and your mind is relaxed. Imagine you are riding your Himiway electric bike to a forest or a quiet mountain path. After a tiring ride, you finally reach your destination, then feel the fresh air there and close contact with nature. This will definitely make you feel refreshed and beneficial to both your physical and mental health. Don’t worry that you will be overworked from long-distance riding, since you can choose to use the electric mode whenever you feel tired.

For middle-aged and elderly people, another advantage of fat tire electric bikes is that they can bring a more stable and safer riding experience. Fat tires can make you better maintain your balance and drive through various terrain more steadily. Therefore, in all aspects, riding a fat tire ebike is a perfect sport for seniors.

Little Maintenance

Fat tire electric bikes require less maintenance than conventional ones. For most elderly people, the maintenance of ebike has always been a hassle. If what you own is a thin-tired bike, you will have to inflate the tires from time to time due to the tire leaks after long term use. However, a fat tire ebike can greatly avoid this problem. Even if under the low tire pressure condition, the fat tire ebike can still bring the rider a more comfortable riding experience. Just a little maintenance can guarantee normal work for several months, which greatly reduces your workload. Also, the fat tire ebike is usually equipped with a thicker and stronger bicycle frame, which means that fewer parts can get damaged and will need to be replaced or repaired in daily use, and it may be an investment for the bicycle owner. In addition to this, according to the laws of physics, under the same force, the pressure is inversely proportional to the contact area, so fat tires will be more wear-resistant because they have about twice the contact area of thin tires.

But if you want a less-maintained ebike, fat tires are not enough, you are supposed to carefully select a high-quality fat tire ebike. Shop around before making a decision, compare different brands in terms of frame materials, parts suppliers, quality assurance, etc., and finally make a satisfactory choice. Let us take the Himiway fat tire electric bike as an example. Our bicycle frames are made of aluminum alloy, and we have selected world-renowned brands such as Samsung/LG and Kenda as our long-term suppliers of battery, bike tire, and other components, which have won praise from more than 15,000 customers. In addition, we promise to provide customers with a two-year warranty so that customers can buy with confidence.

So after reading our introduction to electric bicycle tires, do you know why you should choose fat tires instead of thin tires? Electric bikes are rapidly emerging nowadays, especially the ones with fat tires. If you are an outdoor cycling enthusiast, you have the ambition to conquer all kinds of terrain and get your body exercise. Or you want a comfortable riding experience and a little maintenance to get rid of annoying repairs. Then the fat tires ebike will be the right one for you.
