Beware of Electric Bike Online Review Sites:

First a word on the many online Fat Tire Electric Bike Review sites and YouTube E-Bike review videos. While these sites may look legit and impartial, many are affiliate sites for specific brands of Electric Bikes. This means that they are getting paid for advertising the manufacturer’s E-Bikes, or are getting paid for the leads generated from their click-throughs to that specific manufacturer’s website.To get more news about ebike for sale, you can visit magicyclebike.com official website.

Electrek.co used to publish valuable information on the Electric Bike industry. But now it just seems like they care more about the advertising revenue generated from their sponsors.

In June 2020, they published an article entitled: The Truth: How far can an electric bicycle really go on a single charge? Which detailed the math on how to determine Distance per Charge using the correct factors, specifically the E-Bike’s components. Yet many of their advertisers are allowed to post ads with incredibly false claims that can’t possibly be realistic based on the bike’s components. This deception does our industry a big disservice especially when a customer gets their E-Bike and tests it and its performance doesn’t match the manufacturers’ claims.

At that E-Bike Guy, we are determined to educate an Electric Bike consumer on all the facts so they can make an informative decision on which E-Bike will be the best for that consumer’s specific needs.
None of the Lectric Electric Bikes have a range of 100+ miles as claimed. They are only 20ah max with math 20ah X 48v = 960 Watt-Hours; divided by 25 = 40 miles max. Don’t buy this if you can’t pedal more the 50 miles worth on your own. In our opinion, if you want an E-Bike, you don’t want to pedal that far.
Hard To Pedal Electric Bike
The main disadvantage of fat tire e-bikes is that they are difficult to pedal, especially on flat surfaces where the entire tire is in consistent contact with the ground. The more tires that are in contact with the ground, the more resistance you will face when pedaling. The electric motor can really reduce or even completely eliminate this problem, but if your battery is low and you're exhausted, and you can't charge it, you might be in for some trouble.

Expensive Electric Bike
Fat tires are more expensive than regular tires because fat tires require special parts such as wheels, rims, tubes, etc. Fat tire bikes also usually don't have a suspension system because the tire acts as its own shock absorber, and if you need a suspension system, it's going to be more expensive.

Electric Bikes That Are Hard To Repair
You can be tricky when parts on a fat tire e-bike break or need to be replaced, as fat tire e-bike parts are more expensive and harder to obtain than skinny tire e-bike parts. While they are growing in popularity, thin tire e-bike parts are easier to find at low cost. But in contrast, fat tire bikes are not easy to break.

Conclusion
E-bikes have fat tires because they can handle slick terrain and sandy beaches. Fat tires are more comfortable when riding over bumps because they absorb rough terrain better. These 4” thick tires can also burn more fat since you pedal harder, with the thick treads also building balance and traction. The sheer thickness of fat tires over skinny tires makes them very durable.
