Tires and motors...

A few folding ebikes with 2.125 inch tires. 350 watt hub motor standard.

Then the 4 inch fat tires. 500 watt hub motor standard.

Compare?
Distance on a charge of the battery?
They will both have same amount of actual power due to the 4 inch tires tougher to pedal/drive?
The 2.125 inch tires are just plain nicer to pedal?

I know the 4 inch tires will provide more 'suspension'. Learned this with automotive. Tires are a large part of the suspension.

I'm considering two bikes...
Lectric... It seems to just be good for the price.
Enzo... I like the upgrades. I can afford it. Considering belt drive.
Considering keeping this in an 18 wheel Over The Road Truck. Store easily on second bunk.
 
Without getting into the different brands, in your situation I would take the fatty for it's max versatility. When you park your truck and decide to go for a ride, most often you aren't going to have a clue regarding what kind of surfaces you're going to be riding on in that particular area. The fatty will allow you to ride anywhere riding is possible. You can't say that about the 2.125" equipped bike. Just don't loose sight of the fact the semi is parked. In traffic, to stay safe now, you assume you are now impossible to see when it comes to other drivers. You have moved from one extreme to the other!
