Fatbikes are a relatively new bike iteration with increasing popularity. With their wide tires and low tire-pressure they let riders access terrain previously off limits to bikes, like snow covered logging roads and sandy beaches. Adding an EcoSpeed electric assist to a fatback now provides customers with a four season, all-terrain pedal-electric vehicle. The EcoSpeed Fatback starts at $8,595.
