I bought this bike mainly because it was available in my time frame..like right now...we're moving tomorrow! I'd rather have a narrower hybrid-type tire with some tread. And, I was considering the Steady-Rack and their model that supports a bike with fenders doesn't accommodate 2.4" tires. As it turns out, none of their racks supports e-bikes, period, so that element of my thinking became moot but I'd sill like tire that I can ride some gravel on.
