Fleet 02 · E-Fatbike

Wide tyres.
Quiet motor.

Fat-tyre electric bikes built for sand, gravel and the hills above the lake — pedal-assist when the road tilts up, silent enough to hear the birds.

Each bike is a fat-tyre e-MTB with a mid-drive or hub motor, front suspension and a helmet included. Ride solo, in a small group, or book the fleet for a club outing — all riders get a safety briefing before rolling out.
