Fat tyre utility

Yet another Rad Power Bike makes it onto our list and this time it’s a bike that folds! This feature makes the RadExpand 5 a great option for those who travel or holiday with their bike.

The same fat-tyred fun that’s imparted into every Rad Power bike is present and correct as are the utility features of mudguards, lights and a kickstand.

Pros

  • Fully equipped electric fat bike
  • Handlebars easily adjust for comfort

Cons

  • Only available in black
  • Although it folds, 28kg might be too heavy for some

Prices are approximate

Weight: 34.9kg (77lbs)

Wattage: 750W (250W in UK & EU)

Range: 25-45+ miles (40-72+ km)

Gears: 7-speed

Easy entry frame

Room on the back for passenger

Small wheels – agile handling

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).

Pros

  • Low-step frame design
  • From an e-bike specialist

Cons

  • Display is a tad clunky
  • Simple silver colour is a tad boring
  • Rear carrier has a 54kg weight limit so will only carry light adults
