I want a full suspension fat tire bike to convert to e-bike with a kit. However, there are none with enough space for a large battery. Is there an alternative bike type you would recommend?
>>
Couldn't you save a lot by just getting a pogo stick seat?

>Is there an alternative bike type you would recommend?
Any and all of them.
>>
I am not going to help you since I don't like your kind

Fat people thinks fat bike are bike specifically for them

Put the batteries in the tires

If you have fat tires you'd don't need suspension.

Curious, how much do you weight?
>>
>>1949571
Not him but if I have to take a wild guess I'd say between 280 and 315 lbs
>>
>>1949571
I'm pretty light actually. I'm only 140 lbs and my ass hurts. Hence, I need the extra suspension.
>>
>>1949711
Have you tried a seat that isn't a plank of wood?
Or maybe a mountain bike with not 60psi of tire pressure?

There are other options.
>>
>>1949711
You need a full suspension, fat tire e-bike because....your ass hurts? If that's the conclusion you draw from saddle pain you should just buy a fucking car and wrap it around a tree
>>
>>1949711
If you want full suspension go for it, but that sounds like saddle pain from a subpar saddle. It's especially common if you have a bony ass. You can also opt for a suspension seatpost or if the seatpost is long enough then a titanium one which is naturally springy (pointless if your seatpost is short).
>>
>>1949711
What pressures are you running, and what size/type of tyres?
>>
>>1949751
>titanium
>naturally springy
Look at how far we done fell, /n/
>>
>>1949753
But it is. Did you fall for the le titanium is super strong and stiff memes?
>>
I'm almost certain what you actually want is either an italian style scooter or an actual dirt bike.

This dude is correct.

Depending on what the brainlet wants to communicate here brainlet is wrong.
Idk for sure what they prefer for frames, perhaps grade 6 because so many can't weld shit, but since I can pull some numbers right outta my ass let's just assume they use 6-4. Strenght times elasticity or strength divided by what you guys call youngs modulus, I believe, would give 10^9 Pa / 120•10^9 Pa so 0,008. Do the same for say 4130 and we probably get 10^9 Pa / 200•10^9 Pa so 0,005. I'm ignoring stiffness on purpose here as I don't want ro get into eternal discussions about what an 'equivalent' section of tube was. But in terms of strength / modulus the winner is clear. For the same geometry, offering the same strength, steel would be almost twice as stiff.
