It was only a few years ago when I first set eyes on a production fat bike and recognized immediately how it would be perfectly at home here in the SoCal Mojave Desert with its wide expanses of sandy beach property. It was only natural I would end up with one of those bikes soon after retiring...

No problem Alex M. After riding it almost daily after a month I'm still realizing what a bargain this bike is. All at a price that many of the kits alone sell for when they include a battery. An exceptionally rigid frame with fenders and a rear rack provided from the factory. Even the stem and...

Hello Alex M. No, not at all. Nothing interferes with the post (27.2x350mm) or installing or removing the battery, which lifts straight up to remove. I have really taken a liking to that bike for doing my errands. Be on the alert for RPB to get some new Step Thrus in stock, probably within the...

I took a few pictures to show my mods. Without suspension I couldn't ride through the rough stuff, so I ordered a Suntour suspension seat post and a really plush leather seat from Electric Bike Company that is worth every penny, especially when spending hours out on the bike. Only about half of...

Hello mrgold35, I appreciate your comments as well. Glad my efforts were not overlooked for readers to see this bike in the aspect of the many riders who might prefer an enjoyable ride in areas with no traffic, and not necessarily eager to be bunny hopping over logs. I'm not out there racing...

Hello wakjagner and thanks for your comments. For me it is all about staying physically active. It is not necessary for me to take the back trails but it takes more effort to do so, and that is what it is all about. Undoubtedly being a runner for most of my life helps, but most pro road riders...

Your very welcome Keithd. Glad this was informative, and if any questions, please ask...

Hello Port Perry Bob up there in cold country Canada, There are several things I didn't cover in order to keep from being too wordy, like frame reinforcing, tire pressure, front suspension, and the mods to make the bike more suitable to me. These topics will all likely be covered in videos...

ME & MY TWO RADS SoCal has some excellent trails to ride on the sands of the Mojave Desert. Fortunately a lot of it is hard packed but there are soft spots the equivalent of soft beach sand. The typical trail ride here will have you running thru portions of each, but it is not impossible for any...

I'm getting good use out of mine, doing a lot of trail riding too. Probably start seeing some new videos on Youtube as more of them get distributed. The pedal assist is exhilarating. I'm working on a little review on it so will be posting it in a new thread soon.

Hi all, I'm not affiliated with RPB. Around the first part of March RAD sent out notices and listed them as being in stock on the web page for the Step Thru. Sold out in just a few hours but more are on the way in April. Get on their mailing list if you want one. I've been riding mine. Anybody...
