@america94 Absolutely stunning bike. Thank you for all your time and efforts for sharing. I look forward to more posts and updates from you. I'll have more comments also, but wanted to just a quick thumbs up for now.

P.S. What is your wheelbase length from axle-to-axle in millimetres? Just wondering about the geometry.

Also, I haven't had a chance to watch your YouTube videos yet. Looking forward to them!

I am very happy to see all the fun the teo fat bikes provide. Life is short ride!!!

49 inches (1244mm) is on the long side for a fat bike, but you do gain more stability (at the expense of agility) at those higher speeds. I think 45 to 46 inches wheelbase is more popular in the fat bikes category in general (not necessarily ebikes).

The reason I asked in the first place is that I noticed a large gap between the seat tube and the rear tire.

I think you have already read my Yukon 750 thread, but I'd recommend strongly that you buy a derailleur guard from Canadian Tire (or other shops) a.s.a.p. I have already bent 2 derailleur guards in 6 months. They did their job protecting the derailleur, fortunately. Due to the heavy weight of the ebike + gears + bike-lock, etc, it doesn't take much to fall, especially on tight trails.

I watched your 2 videos... they were well done! Thank you!

i would like to know the standover height on it

 

[SuperGoop]

Yep, I got the "frame" mounted version. Our axle is too big to thread the "axle" version. This is the one I bought from Canadian Tire and how I installed it:

 

[SuperGoop]

Can you please also measure "C" when it is parallel to the ground? Thanks.

Just wondering if your reach is longer than my Yukon 750, despite you having a longer wheelbase. The wheelbase on my Yukon 750 is 1180 mm (46.4 inches).

That's a beautiful bike. Great video!

 

[Bsbs]

How can you disable the 32km/h max speed? Is it programmed in the drive motor?

 

[SuperGoop]

Sure, I measured quickly but looks like 25in

My Yukon 750 head tube to seat post (when parallel to the ground) is 24 inches, FYI. I think overall, the Yukon 750 geometry is very slightly smaller then the Teo Fat Bike Model S.

How is the hydraulic brakes? Those must be good. The front brakes on my Yukon 750 is not that strong. As an experiment, can you lockup your front brakes on paved road with the hydraulic if you tried. I could never lock up my front brakes even if I tried. (I know... we should not lockup the front brake; bike may flip, etc, but just as an experiment... is it possible with the hydraulic brake). I can't with my Yukon 750.

Very nice bike. What's the name of the store you buy it from ?

Visit www.teofatbike.com. They are based out of Montreal, Canada, but ships to the U.S. ($199) and Canada ($99). Their bikes are great value, considering you get hydraulic brakes and a 48v Panasonic 17ah battery, 750w motor, for US$1,492 + shipping.

I don't know if they have a warehouse in the US for US customers. Maybe @Teo fat bike can clarify where and how they ship to the US.

Also it's in French so I don't understand it

There is a "Drop-down" menu at the top to select English. The default is French.

Great stuff! I thought about a similar bag, but was afraid I would not be able to swing my leg over it. How is it working out for you? Is it difficult to mount the bike with the bag? BTW, is that a suspension seat post? Does it come standard?

Regarding the mud/water, can you simply buy the fenders from Benoit at a good price?

 

[SuperGoop]

Wow, you are able to fit the fat bike in the trunk of you car?! Even with the front wheel removed, that must be no easy task, especially with the heavy weight. Do you do it by yourself or with help?

I know I won't be able to lift my Yukon 750 into a trunk without scratching the car & bike, even if it could fit.
