Fat tire e-bikes
Fat tire e-bikes use tires about 4 inches wide or more for grip on sand, snow, gravel and dirt. The tradeoff is weight and rolling resistance on pavement.

Segway Xyber Air
A moto-style e-bike that pulled me up steep gravel climbs on the throttle, with strong brakes and more fun than I expected. Not the pick for pavement-only riders.
$1,999
Engwe E26 3.0 Dual Motor
Dual-motor step-through that climbs on throttle at 200 lb; the rear motor alone stalls.
$1,799
Freesky Ranger Air M-540
A dual-motor step-through fat-tire bike that climbs steep hills; heavy at 95 lb.
$1,399
MACFOX X7
If you're a parent shopping for a teenager who is too young to drive, the MACFOX X7 is a great fit.
$1,599
REVR CM7
A comfortable full-suspension step-through for gravel commutes; heavy.
$1,399
Aventon Aventure M
Aventon's mid-drive fat tire bike with Auto assist and auto-shifting. Responsive, comfortable, and now my top pick.
$2,699
Ainohot Terra
A low-priced step-through fat-tire bike for gravel and sharing; basic parts.
$799
Aventon Aventure 3
Comfortable on gravel, lots of power, and the app lock is actually useful.
$1,799
Actbest Super X
If you're on the shorter side and want a comfortable, moped-style fat tire e-bike you mostly ride on the throttle, the Actbest Super X is very decent for the price.
Engwe E26
If you want a big, powerful fat tire e-bike with a lot of range and you're fine with baseline parts, the Engwe E26 is a great entry-level pick when it's priced right.
$1,699
Kingbull Voyager
A low-priced fat-tire cargo bike with pegs, a big rack and hydraulic brakes; handlebar height barely adjusts.
Discontinued
Engwe Engine Pro
A folding full-suspension fat-tire bike with an optional second battery; messy cabling.

Rattan LF 750 Pro
A folding fat-tire e-bike with a passenger seat that fits in a sedan and handled snow and dirt well.
Velotric Nomad 1
A good-looking 750W fat-tire bike that rides softer than the Discover 1; no rack or tail light, and the throttle is capped in low assist.
Discontinued
Gyroor C5 Max
If you want a slim folding fat tire e-bike with suspension front and rear, the Gyroor C5 Max is the one I'd pick over the Tesgo STT.
Currently unavailable
Tesgo STT
If you want a folding fat tire e-bike and speed is the main thing you care about, the Tesgo is the one I'd pick.
Currently unavailable
Cyrusher XF900
A full-suspension fat-tire bike for mostly-dirt riders; the 750W motor felt weak for its weight.
Discontinued
Mokwheel Upland Plus
A big, stable 750W fat-tire bike I liked a lot; discontinued, and today's Basalt is a different bike.
Discontinued
Bee Cool Pathfinder
If you want a fat tire e-bike with a lot of power and a complete set of features for the money, the Bee Cool Pathfinder is a steal.
Bee Cool Adventurer
Buy the Bee Adventurer if you want a dual suspension fat tire e-bike with a throttle, a rear rack and a full set of safety lights for a lot less than most full-suspension bikes.
$1,099
Engwe EP-2 Pro
Buy the EP-2 Pro if you need a full-size e-bike that folds small enough to go in a car trunk, and you want lights, fenders and a rear rack included.
