BBassett since I'm 66 and retired I plan on using it as an incentive to get out and go exercise like I do now on a SUPER73 an underpowered entry level ebike. Secondly I have an 8 year old son who loves to ride with Dad and come & go to Waikiki Elementary School by ebike. And last we are going to be the New Unauthorized Beach Patrol (providing that 4.8" wide Maxxis Tire can gain traction in the sand) and scout out everything from sea shells too hard to reach surf spots. Use it on the road, trails around Honolulu and as a sand beach runner, as an all purpose machine. Thanks for asking!

Bravo! The 1st person I have ever asked that is going to use a fat bike for what it is intended, surfaces so soft nothing else would be ridable. I bet it will move through even the softest sand with a few lbs. less pressure but once you are on wet sand it will be fun as hell. If I was you I'd look into ACF-50 (https://learchem.com/products/acf-50.html). That will help with the salt on everything but the rotors & pads and grips. Cheers

I rented a Rad rover fat tire bike in Petoskey Mi last sept, 2018.Although it was fun I decided it was not for me.Nov.2018 I went to an estate sale and bought a SSR Sandviper fat all hardtail bike.The price was great and I figured if I didn't like it I could easly sell it.I don't like it I love it.What I have figured out for me is I need to rent a bike for at least a 25 mile ride to make a decision if I like it.I stiil have the Sandviper and have almost 1400 miles on it.It's the bike in my avatar photo
Slowpoke I don't have that problem of liking it and needing 25 miles to decide. My problem is I like them all and want to buy them all. But I think the ASB-EB-31 will make another addition to my collection. I bought it for the extra power, extra quiet belt drive and extra traction in sand. Of course all this cost me extra money!
