ISO 3” wide fat tire bike

[LightningP38]

Looking for a fat tire bike with 20 x 3” tires, torque sensing assist, 50+ mile range (20+ amp battery) around $2k price. Front suspension fork. Prefer seat shock too.
Should come with a rear rack, fenders, an front and rear lights.
Thx for your help.

Best of luck with your search. They tough element of your choice will be the 3-inch wheels, as they are a less common feature on many of the current eBikes. Your second less common feature for 2k eBikes is torque sensor versus a cadence sensor, but that is less of a reach.

Yeah, that is pretty close to what I might like.
Any reliability issues with it?

I've never had that ebike, just remembered a person who had that one and asked them about it.

They said they downhilled it on mtb trails for a year and it finally gave out on them after all that abuse.

I have a Rambo Ranger and it meets most of your requirements. The 3" tires and front suspension fork are nimble, yet sturdy enough to navigate technical trails. For a folding bike it flies up to 30mph in more open areas. $1750. You could buy a suspension seat and a rack for it like you wanted and still be under $2000

I looked at the Glam Villa bike as well. I cannot find any specs that were usable like weight, motor torque, what class rating is it or top speed. Those are my big areas of research now.

You can broaden your search considerably. 3" tires will work great on 65mm rims. I have a 20" wheel I just built not so long ago and it is using the Weinmann DHL65 rim and a 20x3.0 knobby tire. They will even work on 80mm rims which are quite common.

Look at Lectric ebikes. IIRC they have just downsized their 20" bikes to 3" from 4".

Thanks all for your inputs! Lots of great information.

What did you end up with, @LightningP38 ?

 

[MikeDuf]

Well I cannot find any information on the weight of these bikes on Amazon. Does anyone know the weights? Also I don't see a place where you can order one of these.
