With retirement on the horizon I’m intending doing a lot more sea fishing and I’m looking to get myself a fat ebike as some of the marks I fish are a 7 mile round walk.
Not too fussed what it looks like as long as it does the job. Had  a quick look on eBay and there are hundreds of similar ones for about £1100. Anyone else got one and if so, what you got?

I would have imagined a boat more useful for Sea fishing than a bike, so I'l say a Hardy 17 or Orkney Longliner with a cuddy.

I’d be working out if there was any way to get the tern oryx,

fat long tail ebike. Looks awesome and you could take all the rods, shelters and kit you’d ever need!

In the last few months I have noticed some real bargains on the FB fat bike selling page. I’d be very tempted to get something second hand, get a conversion kit and end up with a good quality bike for around £600.
