The RadRover Electric Fat Bike combines bodacious on and off road ebiking with the tires and Samsung 48 volt battery to back it up.
Go fat or go home!
The fat bike craze has been seizing myriad persons and off road enthusiasts all over the world, as it makes for biking on the beach, swiping by on snow or churning through muddy trails for a true all weather, all terrain bicycle.
Mountain biking has evolved to flesh out a light aluminum frame with four-inch WIDE tires, fat ones, and a 750 watt battery pack and geared hub motor combo.
Most fat bikes retail for well over a grand, and that’s only with pedaling power as a source (no electric power), but the RadRover Fat Bike is available for $999 until May 15, or the Indiegogo runs out of the Super Early Bird Special.
This production ready ebike allows for hilly terrain domination up to 20 miles for a 180 pound rider and 17 miles for a 230 pound champ.
The maintenance-free brushless geared hub motor is light and turns in the wheel to provide 15 amps of continuous power to the 48 volt bad ass Samsung 48 volt 11.6 Ah battery pack, being a major upgrade on the industry standard 36 volt batteries.
There is an LCD display on the handlebars, emergency shut off button for the motor (can I get an eject button too please?) and one of the coolest features allows for lockout, which allows you to go from active front suspension to rigid with the flip of a handy knob to increase pedaling efficiency on road or comfort to your bum off road.
Everything to the cranks and seven speed Shimano gears have been carefully thought out and put together for a quality ride amongst the mountainous paths or the sandy sunset coasts.
