Definitely Personal... I was intrigued by the technology when the SM e seat came out that's why I bought one. I've been riding the SM e with the up curve in the rear on my efat for the past few years. This equates to only a few thousand miles (I only ride the efat in the snow). For me, the...

You actually ride your bike? Don't you know, it's for display and poser purposes only!

I feel your pain! After spending many months wages on a bike for display in your living room (and in your bedroom at night), I too would be upset if it got a tiny scratch that only I could see. I speak from experience, the only safe place to ride it is in the house on plush carpet - whatever...

Dropper: You will need a dropper with external routing. The cable will rout outside the seat tube and then under the motor and battery. It will enter the motor housing in the same access as the sensor and rear brake housing.

My first dropper post ever, for any bike, is on my 9zero7 Whiteout fatbike. This allows me to remount the saddle when my feet are sinking in the deep snow which is my main purpose for a dropper. In addition to the remounting advantage, I wanted my new dropper for the Fantic to also have...

It looks like I bought that same wheel/tire combo for my first efat several years ago - great value. Tubeless setup was not a problem as long as the rims were sealed well. The tires were good in dry or very hard packed conditions. Remember that there is much more torque on a fat bike hub...

The Bluto will fit 4.8" tires on rims up to 100mm wide. May fit wider rims too. My other fat bike has a 4.8" Dillinger 5 on a 100mm wide carbon rim with the Bluto. The Bluto will NOT fit 2XL tires - that's why I bought the Manitou Mastodon which the tire will fit. See images below. The main...

JB01245 - I've been riding fat in the snow since 2012 when a bought a Specialized Fatboy. I can show you some tips for riding in snow. Most peoples difficulties in snow are usually due to too high tire pressure and not the best choice of tires. Soft and deep snow requires only a couple of PSI...

JB01245 - This time of year I ride every weekend, usually both days and I always ride trails with the most snow. A fellow efat rider sometimes joins me. I don't want to publicize any trails online. Send me a PM with your contact information and I will show you first hand, the closest snowy...

I've been riding my Fantic Fat for the past two winter seasons in the Colorado front range - I ride on trails that have mostly snow. On the rare occasion that I ride in the dry season, I use the wheelset (80mm rim) that came with the bike While I got a good deal, all you guys got a GREAT deal...

New 5.05" wide Snowshoes. Just in time - we have over 10" of snow today and it's still snowing. (Colorado, USA)

What did I do to my emtb? I gave it a rest and rode my Amish mtb!

I ride a lot of slow speed rocky technical terrain where I have to stop and start pedaling as well as backpedal. Quick engagement is key. I use a DT Swiss 240 Ratchet EXP rear hub with 36 teeth which works well. Different from the typical pawl and ratchet system.

Flo Motorsports "unbreakable" brake levers. Stock levers can only move towards the bar. These will also move away from the bar providing more movement instead of breaking. I broke an XT lever and found these available on ebay.

One of the best methods to troubleshoot noises is to use an automotive stethoscope. These are inexpensive and readily available. You can pinpoint a noise location with this tool. I had a creaking sound coming from the rear of my Rise only when under high torque - as when climbing a very steep...
