I have 3.5 inch V Speedsters on my Ultra and if I keep around 20 psi in them, self steering isn't a problem.

That would be me. And , yes I think the throttle on the Ultra would put a good deal of stress on the gear.

No thanks. I ride for fun and having rain pelting on your face is not fun.

Ok, that makes more sense. Kinda .;)

I think fat tire bikes add a lot stability and grip in sketchy urban riding. Zero falls on this bike but I can only remember falling once on a bike and that was due to ice.

12K ?

3.5 inch is still a fat tire, IMO. It's all personal preference. I lot of riders don't mind the noise of the knobby on the street but I hate it. The picture I posted is with the V Speedsters.

Cheating at what ?

Mostly pavement ? Or a mix of both ? My suggestion is to ditch the knobby tires , if you mostly you ride on pavement. I hated mine and swap them for 3.5 inch V-Speedsters. Night and day difference.

Some people prefer driving a Prius. Some don't. I just came back from a ride on my grossly over powered bike and every time I ride it , I just love the power, when I want to use it. I demo bikes from time to time and I always feel like I'm on a children's bike and I'm so used to 3.5 inch tires...

What is with you guys and falling ? Maybe try a fat tire bike. Much more stable in unpredictable situations.

No, just that I've never heard of them and thought maybe someone has .

25 km/h limiter would drive me crazy.

That's what I thought. Thanks

This concept that if you are riding a bike with a Bafang Ultra , you must be a lazy American. How ridiculous . The power is there when you need it like a high performance car but that doesn't mean you are using full power all the time. You can get all the exercise you want but if you really need...

I wanted an fat tired Ebike , which is the type with the most weight and drag because of the big tires. I rode a Felt with a Bosch and it certainly didn't have enough power for me. I then bought a Biktrix with the Bafang Ultra and it was a night and day difference. Just buy what suits you ...
