Chances are that you may have come across both fat bikes (fatties) and electric bikes (e-bikes) while out riding or browsing your local bike shop.

And while fat bikes are great, they can be hardwork to ride. But by buying an electric fat bike, you can get arguably the most versatile bicycle on the market – there’s no terrain or grade you can’t take on with a fat e-bike.

So, in this guide, we’re running through the best electric fat bikes that money can buy.

What is an Electric Fat Bike? 

An electric fat bike is unsurprisingly a mix of both an electric bike and a fat bike

It’s an electric off road bike that typically uses 3.8 inch tyres or larger and is accompanied by 2.16 inch rims or wider. This is a lot bigger than your standard mountain bike or hybrid electric bike.

With the fat bike electric bike, think off road adventurer but on steroids and with the assistance of a pedal assist motor. Everything is pretty much bigger as well as faster for optimal fun and speed.

These bikes tend to be amazing for riding in the snow and sand: far better than a conventional mountain or gravel bike. The ride is also smoother thanks to the fat tyres. Not to mention due to the added power and toque these bikes are a lot better for scaling steep accents. 

Electric Fat Bike Pros + Cons 

Pros

  • Accessible to lots of people and different terrain
  • Travel farther for less energy
  • User friendly
  • Smoother ride

Cons

  • Heavier
  • Harder to manoeuvre
  • Often more expensive

Are Fat E-Bikes Good? 

Electric fat bikes are a wonderful mix of fun, power and efficiency. 

They are very good for giving you that added torque needed to get up a steep bank or through deep snow and sand. 

Much like the fat bike, the added feature of having a motor will improve your accessibility; allowing you to travel on varied terrain and more of it – travelling further for longer thanks to the large batteries.

The larger tires just like a standard fat bike can however be a little on the weighted side and then alongside a motor and battery they are heavy, but the benefits do outweigh the negatives when considering ride quality and accessibility. 

On the plus side, you can also take the battery out of the frame and then ride your electric bike normally without any of the pedal assist settings: therefore rending it just like any other fat bike – buy one get one free hey.

How Fast Do Fat Tyre Electric Bikes Go? 

The fat tyre electric bikes can supposedly achieve speeds of up to 40kph (25mph). However, in the UK and the EU there is a pedal assist limit of 25kph (15.5 mph).

Similarly in the US they also have a speed limit where the motorised assistance cuts off at 20mph, which is slightly higher but still with a limiter. 

Meaning if you were to buy an electric bike from the UK the retailer by law must have a limiter on the motor to keep the bike within the 15.5 mph assisted max speed.

Overall it will however depend on the bike, the make, where you bought the bike and the model. Some will be slightly faster than others so it’s best to check before you buy.

How Much Do Electric Fat Bikes Cost? 

Electric fat bikes will set you back a little more than your average bike due to their technology and extra features such as the motor and battery. 

In general you will find that the price will range from around £1,300 upwards. As with all bikes the very top end can be a staggering amount of money and can vary massively.

Motors will, as I mentioned before, mean that the price on any electric bike is higher than your average hybrid or mountain bike. You may therefore be asking yourself, well ‘is it worth it?’. Absolutely! Added speed for less energy is double the fun.

The fifth bike on our list is a folding electric fat bike. Yes – there really is such a thing! The Engwe EP2 Pro is a neat bike which combines the at-home utility of a folding bike with the out-and-riding fun of a fat bike.

Another electric bike on our list from Rad Power Bikes, evangelists of the fat-tyred e-bike. Although the tyres on this bike are slightly narrower than those on the other bikes on this list (3.3”) we think the RadRunner Plus can safely be designated as an electric fat bike. 

The rider handlebars, a plush saddle and a suspension fork mean the RadRunner is a joy to ride everywhere. With the integrated pannier rack, the bike can comfortably haul over 130kg of weight (including the rider).

Something slightly different now and Juiced Bikes’ Ripracer. As the name suggests this is a bike designed to put a smile on your face.

If you’ve looked through our top picks of electric fat bikes and are still unsure as to what may suit your needs and riding style, then it’s worth considering other similar types.

Nevertheless, whatever you decide to go for you’ll undeniably have a lot of fun either way.
