I long considered using a fat bike for my winter bike commute, but determined, over the years, that it wasn't quite right for me. It could never quite beat my chosen perfect winter bike, a rust-resisting, studded-tire, aluminium-framed, internal-geared, skinny-tire commuter bike. But the growth of electric fat bikes has me wondering if that pedal-assist motor is the thing that will push this bike onto the top of my winter favourites list?
