Looking to get a second hand Fat Bike and fit a conversation kit for use when I’m beach fishing and have a long trek, about 10 miles.
Any recommendations for what kit would be best and who to purchase from? Tia.

Have fitted a Bafang Mid drive kit to a gravel bike. Really good. Tunable too. Was thinking of selling the bike or motor separately. Send me a PM if interested. Bafang Mid Drive Kit 750W 1000W 250W 350W 500W BBS01B BBS02B BBS03 HD Electric Bike Conversion Kit 36V 48V 52V Ebike Conversion Kit for Mountain Bike Road Bike With Optional Battery and Display : Amazon.co.uk: Sports & Outdoors

If here's not good enough, try down your local, maybe?

I have no experience of this but would it not be difficult to find a mid drive motor that will work with the wider BB shells on fatbikes?

I'm sure the various different fatbikes I had in the past all had 100mm BB shells and most of these motor kits seem to be for a 68/73mm shell?

The Bafang kit above shows an option for the 100mm BB shell - but only in the 750W and 1000W versions.....

I can't get mine to talk to me at all, maybe needs a firmware upgrade 😉

Thanks for the replies, looks like I’m going to have to do some research on the bb size question.
