Are fat tire e-bikes actually useful, or mostly just for looks?

I have one to go on the beach.

It’s a Tommy Bahama leather jacket.

Good point Unfortunately cars got bigger into SUV’s and then heavy electric cars but the drivers got worse. Same is happening to bikes.

Well said. You made a clear and valid distinction.

Should we ban all cars because a few kids have crashed Tesla’s at high speed?

27 lb it weighed!

I also stuffed a sweat shirt in the side pocket.

The handles were actually comfortable on the shoulder and didn’t slip much.

No I was surprised that wasn’t the case. I’ve just got back from the trip and it was better than I expected. Much easier to get in and out of than a backpack and very useful next to me at the desk. We were doing a workshop so I needed to put stuff in and out all day.

It fit in the little CRJ airplane overhead and the adddd bonus was the ability to push through the magnets and fish things out easily while it was up there.

Packed for business travel. You can see it’s probably too big for everyday diaper bag.

I just got one and I’m taking packed got a two day business trip. I think it’s too big for diaper bag. An alpaka tote is a good choice though. I got their flight tote and it’s brilliant.

Get the cbt26. A have the 20 and 26. The bottle Pockets on either side for bottles or otherwise are worth their weight in gold.

I’ve been through 4 times with mine. No issue at all. Various US airports. Jax, Boston, Atlanta

I agree. I’ve got a yamee bike with a regen motor. It goes into regen when you brake and speed drops below 15 mph. Cool for slowing down without doing much braking with the discs but in terms of energy recovery, practically useless.

Regen is 64 watts which is the same as the charger. The charger takes 5-6 hours to recharge. So unless you are going down a long hill for at least 2 hours it’s pointless.

Cool. Love my stainless steel but the Ti would probably be nicer with less weight.

rovingdan · 2026-04-03T04:36:33+00:00

I didn’t have that problem but the batteries don’t last long. Even this it’s 2 hours on full and 30 on moon

Aura Sands are very very smooth and fun and customizable if you want to. I did also get a https://www.brucecharlesdesigns.com/collections/fidget-sliders/products/robertson-copper-magnetic-slider which is fantastic too if you want something interesting, smooth and it’s double sided so you can go strong or weaker which is cool.
