I'm currently riding the FAT TIRE Lectric 20" foldable. It is a great starting bike, but when I go off-road for just a little distance the lack of any suspension is very significant. I think I would like to move to a 26" wheel and I definitely will only buy a front suspension bike. I'm not after speed, but I would prefer a bike that doesn't get shaken to death at 8 mph. I really like the specifications of the Biktrix Stunner step-thru. The step-thru solves some getting on and off the bike for my 5'9" height. The one major concern is the Kenda K-rad 2.3" tires. The other candidate is the Stunner-X which has 4" Fat Tires, but I'm still waiting to hear when they will be available.
I would really appreciate any insight regarding the choice/behavior of the 4" versus the 2.3" tires. I'm 75 old and just getting started returning to biking, but it has been a great way for me to get the legs working again. Also, it hasn't escaped me that the step-thru also has the internal hub shifter. I think that is another big plus for the step-thru.
