How well does your emtb work without power?

The drag on that must be huge with no power as it would be even with a non-e with fatties?

I don't find a problem at all riding it without power with the fat tires. The tires that are on it are smooth tires not the Knobby tires, not sure how much of a difference that makes. Also I don't ride at 20 km plus an hour either, I go at a nice medium cruising speed. i am not in a rush to get anywhere.

I have heard so many people on here say the same thing "Fat tire bikes are brutal to pedal" I just don't find that at all. I enjoy my fat tire bike without power and under power.

yes slicks make a huge difference even on non fat tired bikes and if your not Trying to get any speed out of it that would as well as along with tire pressure and carcass stiffness. A true fat tired EMTB would be killer there are not to many out there. Plenty fat tired bikes just not to many of the true fat tired EMTBs.
