In this blog, we explore why electric fatbikes are the future and why you should consider getting one!
1. What Is a Fatbike?
A fatbike is a bicycle with extra-wide tires (usually between 4 and 5 inches) that provide additional grip and stability. Combined with an electric motor, an electric fatbike offers a smooth and powerful riding experience on all kinds of terrain.

Modern fatbikes come with strong motors that support speeds of up to 25 km/h (or faster with tuning). With a powerful battery, you can often ride between 50 to 100 km on a full charge. The Duotts E26 Electric Fatbike (250W) offers excellent support for both city traffic and off-road adventures. -
