Howdy,
First time poster, although I've been watching Court's videos and reading all your reviews for like 2 months now, and I'm getting closer to biting the bullet. Hell, I'd already have bought my RadRover if they were still in stock, but I'm still having to wait a week. Since I'm waiting, I've continued to look at more and more fat tire bikes and I'm curious what everyone else's thoughts are on 26x4 Fat Tire ebikes.
About Me:
Rad Power Bikes / RadRover 2016 $1,499.00
- Pros:
VoltBike / Yukon 750 2017 $1,499.00
- Pros:
Hype Bikes / HF1000 2017 $1,499.00
- Pros:
M2S / All Terrain R750 2017 $1,550.00
- Pros:
While doing these reviews, I've actually collected together specs and stats of nearly 50 fat tire ebikes in a spreadsheet (I'm a very analytical person) so if anyone's interested in that information, you can find it here:
Thoughts?

About Me:
- I'm a daily bike commuter, 35 years old with a learners permit, so biking is my only form of transportation (I hate driving cars).
- I also live in Minnesota, so this bike will be facing harsh conditions 24/7/365. We're also the land of 10,000 lakes, and I plan to ride this thing on whatever trail necessary to visit em all, LoL!
- Minnesota state law requires 1000 watt or less motor, 20mph or less speed (although I have been looking at ones that go higher).
- I'm mostly looking at bikes in a $1500 range, but am not against reviews of higher priced bikes.
- Looking for class 2 or 3 (I like both pedal assist and some form of throttle)
- Would like at least a front fork suspension.
