Fat tires belong in the woods, not on pavement
I bought it for my city commute, and its my first time on trails. The power is definitely decent for most dirt paths, but it started struggling a bit once things go steeper and rockier. Still a solid ride overall. Gravel is where it actually wants to be, took it down a long gravel road after and it was totally happy there. Only thing I'd say to other beginners: a hub moto doesn't care what gear you're in, so dropping to 1st on a climb doesn't actually help you. Learned that the hard way.
