Hi,
I'm looking for a fat bike that can maintain a high speed on a steep climb. Ideally I would like a 28mph bike or be able to unlock a motor so that I can reach that speed. I've never ridden an electric bike up hill, so I'm not sure how possible this is. Can a motor and battery power a bike up that much elevation at a high speed? I'm interested in a fat bike because I have a mile of dirt road to ride and want to be able to handle snow.
My secondary use-case a 10 mile ride with 500ft elevation gain.
Primary purpose is commuting in and around the mountains all year round. I don't plan on hitting trails with it, I have a non-electric MTB for that.
I've decided that mid-drive is the way to go because it can take advantage of gears, but I'm assuming it will perform better than a read hub drive. I have 0 experience though, so I really don't know what to expect.
Aesthetics wise, ultimately I'm looking for a clean looking simple black fat bike.
I'm open to custom builds with kits, but all the wires hanging out all of the place doesn't sound very attractive.
Other features that sound awesome are shift sensing and torque sensing.
Eager to hear everyone's thoughts!
Thanks
