CleanTechnica Review: Snapcycle Stinger Fat Tire E-Bike
R1 e-bike we reviewed last year
. Unlike most e-bikes in its class, it comes with a 500W Brushless Geared Hub Motor, which is below the typical 750 watt motors most fat-tire e-bikes come with. Also, unlike many other fat-tire e-bikes, it comes with 3″ wide tires instead of a wider and fatter 4″ design. It also has a smaller digital display than the R1, doesn’t have hydraulic brakes, and doesn’t come with a rear brake light .
Because the bike’s a little smaller, a little lighter, and has narrower 3″ tires, the efficiency is higher. The obvious advantage there is that you’ll get more range, but it also means that the 500-960 watts of power moves the bike better than the heavier and fatter 4″ fat bikes out there. Probably the biggest advantage is that it’s easier to handle. The truth is that the heavier and bulkier 4″ tire e-bikes are not only heavier, but more bulky and awkward to carry. If you need to pull the bike up steps, load it onto a rack, or do anything else, the heavier bike is going to be more challenging in every way.
