You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
I'm clueless about these things... I have been currently using a trials motor bike with a Dakine builders pack to get to the trails to do maintenance work....
However this is not always possible so I'm looking at the possibility of using a rigid electric fat bike to ride up techy singletrack, as well as normal roads and fireroads.
Roads will be about 10km long and about 900m vertical and the trails about 6/7km.... will myself and the motor explode?
And what bike does STW recommend, looking at spending as little as possible..
Cheers

Build you one - a On-one fatty with decent motor system will be round £2000.
I saw an electric On-One in Paignton/Torbay in the summer, someone must know who/what it is?
Motor about the size of a car's alternator on a bracket conecting to the BB and suppourted under the downtube. Looked like a fairly profesional kit and might broaden the market for picking a bike and being able to sell it again afterwards.
Ben, that sounds awesome!
