A bike with an electric motor will not be surprised. But this technique is used not only for the usual measured ride in the city. There is also an electric fatbike, which, too, should be able to choose and use.
Specificity
It must be understood that Electrified Fatbike is not just an unusually looking or non-standard built bike. He, like ordinary fatbike, is designed to conquer hard-to-reach road off-road. Installing an increased power motor so it turns out to be quite a logical step.
The most advanced models are equipped with a complete drive, which allows them to achieve impressive indicators. Since modifications have already been created a lot, you need to be able to distinguish them by the main characteristics.
Classification and selection
Electrophate distinguishes by:
- battery parameters;
- management organization;
- engine power and its specific type;
- Device brake system.
Akb can be fixed:
- from below from the seat;
- instead of the trunk;
- Directly on the frame.
Given the high capacity of the necessary batteries and the associated significant mass, sometimes even the framework of a special sample is used. It is the battery frame attachment that has long been recognized as the best choice. It reduces the center of electric bike gravity and guarantee the highest stability in any situation. Models with a battery less than 8 A / C does not make sense to even consider.
As for the power of the drive, then It varies from 0.35 to 5 kW in relevant models. . Pretty popularity won all-wheel drive electric bikes with a pair of motor-wheels with a capacity of 0.5 kW. But the engines themselves can relate to gear or outer type. The first is easier, but the second most powerful and longer serve. Of course, Extremals and lovers ride quickly and far choose only outer modifications.
No matter how important overclocking is, braking is also very significant. The only acceptable option of the electrophate braking system is disc brakes. All other devices are simply not capable of taking such power.
Mechanical disc brakes are slightly less effective. However, they allow a little to save.
Fatbike management with an electric motor is not more difficult than on a row gasoline moped . Adjust the speed can be reversed on the steering wheel. Running and stopping the motor is made by pressing the pedals. The steering wheel is usually complemented by a small computer that helps to control the battery charge and the speed achieved. Sometimes there is even a jack for recharging personal gadgets.
Modifications
As already mentioned Electrophate on thick wheels produce many companies . But the "Bear" is deserved in the number of market leaders. The power of this machine reaches 1.5 kW, and the reserve of the move is from 35 to 60 km / h. Consumers can drive at speeds up to 50 km / h. Provissed recuperative mode. Other parameters are such:
- brakes on the hydraulic database;
- aluminum fork;
- envelope wheels - 4x26;
- The greatest permissible load is 120 kg;
- Frame and rims are painted black;
- The wings are not included.
It looks attractive to the technical solution with an electric drive back and with a direct drive engine inside the wheel. Motor-wheels are powered by a triangular battery. Without problems, you can ride the "bear" with a full drive as on the most simple bike. Its wheels with a width of 0.1 m will overcome snow, mud or sandy area.
Low tire pressure will effectively extinguish small irregularities and make travel more comfortable.
As the manufacturer declares, it is possible to slow down on the folding "bear" with a very small effort of hands. As an alternative can be considered Volteco Bigcat Dual 1000. This electric bike is calculated on the voltage of 48 V. The folding mode is not provided. The wheel size is 26 inches. The design is great for harsh climatic conditions. A pair of powerful motors is provided, thanks to which the "double tigress" is characterized by excellent permeability. It is not surprising that the developers took care of powerful strong wheels. The main characteristics are as follows:
- Shared power - 1 kW;
- The highest speed is 35 km / h;
- overcame on a good track distance - up to 45 km;
- battery saturation time - from 240 to 360 minutes;
- 7 speeds;
- Total product weight - 34.5 kg;
- Permissible loading - 110 kg.
Honored popularity and Fatbik Love Freedom . The frame of this product is made of aluminum alloy. The size of the disk mechanical brakes is 0.16 m. The total number of speeds thanks to the proven Japanese transmission is 21. The design is designed for users with an increase of 1.5 to 2.15 m. The bike own weight is 16 kg. At the same time, it can carry up to 150 kg. The plug streak is 0.1 m. Designers have provided fortified pedals and the same connecting rods. The shock absorber is located in front.
Solid competition Previous models is Fatable under the brand Okkervil. And to present this brand is best on the three-wheeled model OK-33601E. Gaspel wheels 20x1.95 inches. The frame is made of a strong steel grade. Japanese transmission supports 7 speeds. There are 2 brakes, the drum is placed behind. The current consumption for an hour is 0.35 kW, and the primer is equally effective when driving on:
- sand;
- snow virgin;
- solid road surfaces;
- conventional soil.
Attention deserve I. Models with front-wheel drive. True, they are quite rare, in the overwhelming majority of cases drive make back. An exception is, for example, E-Motions Fat 20 All Mountain Double . Twenty-yid wheels are driven by two motors with a total capacity of 1 kW, and the highest possible speed is 45 km / h. Carrying steering can be adjusted.
Frame folds, in addition, 6 speeds are provided.
As for Featbike Lebrong. , then this is a fairly different surfaces of the product. Model 141 Fatbike Lebrong can take the load up to 200 kg. The design is calculated at 21 speeds. High challenges are achieved thanks to the wheels of 26 inches. Aluminum frame is very reliable, as well as disk steel brakes. The saddle can be adjusted in vertical and horizontal planes.
The following video presents an overview of the front-wheel drive electrophate 48V 18a 350 (850) W.
