I was wondering if anyone made a decent fat bike that was electric.  A few years ago I rode a fully rigid fat bike and really enjoyed it except for getting up big hills.  A motor might sort that  and you then enjoy the amazing downhill performance. Had a look on google, but couldn’t find anything decent.

In That Europe, there are quite a few manufacturers. Fantic and Elom being examples. Fantic has a Brose 90nm motor and the Elom also a Bosch. Both have good sized batteries. Elom do titanium, carbon and aluminium versions. Both suppled with Bluto forks.  We have a couple of the Fantic versions and they have been very reliable up to now.

Also, there was a full suss electric from Maxx but I think it's discontinued.

I was trying to post pictures but that function is properly borked.

They look interesting.  Could be a good bike for winter riding.  Don’t really do e-bikes but the fat one does make some sense.

They are not uncommon in Finnish Lapland. A friend of mine has one made by Tunturi, if I recall (could be wrong). It looks decent, with at least front suspension. He commutes on it (a few kms) throughout winter-spring and regularly ventures into the wilds.
