No mud, no ice, no insects, no spider webs, hard ground, not too hot, not too cold, not too much snow. My only complaint is the lack of daylight.

    That’s the number one reason I haven’t gotten into Fatbiking. I’m such a cow, I can’t even manage early starts in the height of summer, by the time I got going in the winter, I’d already be losing light. Night riding on a fatbike just doesnt sound fun to me, I know people do it and enjoy it though. Right on to those folks for sure.

    Awesome looking rig you got there btw!

      Thanks!

      I’ll rather ride in the dark than not at all but it’s definitely not as enjoyable as with daylight. All you can see is the trail right in front of you and it feels extra lonely there in the dark forest compared to what it’s like in the summer. My intention was to get a fatbike for winter riding only but it turned out to be so much fun that it completely replaced my hardtail.

        The motor probably makes up for the extra weight!

        Also, I like the homemade tire mud guards you added. Neat idea. Happy riding 🤘
