Things to Consider Before Buying

Winter Performance

Fat tire eBikes excel in Canadian winters because their wide tires spread the rider’s weight over a larger surface area, reducing sinkage into snow. Models like the P6 with 26x4.0 tires offer enhanced traction for icy streets and snowy trails.

Comfort for Long Rides

Riding in cold weather often means facing more bumps and uneven terrain. Front or dual suspension systems, found on the P6 and EX6, absorb shocks and make rides smoother, especially for commutes over 10km.

Maintenance in Cold Climates

  • Battery care: Store indoors at room temperature when not in use.

  • Tire pressure: Slightly lower PSI in winter for better grip.

  • Chain lubrication: Use winter-specific lubricants to prevent rust.

Step-Through vs Step-Over Frames

The EX6 step-through frame allows easy mounting/dismounting while wearing bulky winter clothes, making it especially appealing for older riders or those with mobility challenges.
