Electric Fatbike the Ultimate Snow Machine ?

[@OldManFatBike]

Right On Robert! Thanks for the cool video! I really enjoyed watching this video it was very interesting. I gave you a thumbs up for all your efforts 🍻✌

[@RobertBeriault753]

Thanks for your kind response.

Good educational video. I would say that myself personally, I would ride in the road with cars vs on a trail or sidewalk like this. Mainly because I have almost been hit 4 times on the sidewalk from cars turning into driveways and want maximum predictability and visibility, especially in the winter.

[@RobertBeriault753]

When riding on bicycle lane you also have to watch for cars coming out of a parking lot. Thanks for your comment.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing Robert

I always enjoy your bike rides, Robert. Even when it’s way too cold for me.😊

[@RobertBeriault753]

Glad you like them! You can watch them without feeling the cold.

Thank you too

I live in a similar place as you, So if i get studded tires i should be able to drive my ebike to work most of the winter? I've already wiped out a few times because of the ice. Snow isn't the main problem for me it tends to be the ice.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Most of the winter. When there's a layer of powdered snow above the ice, the studs don't touch the ice and the tires have nothing to grab onto. On glare ice studs are a huge advantage.

Nice interesting video Robert.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Thanks for the visit

Switching a tyres from 4.0 to 4.8" also improves grip a lot.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Sounds reasonable. I could do that when my tires need replacement.

[@Rognivald]

@@RobertBeriault753 Measure the frame first, in my fat bike 4.8 tyre goes to front fork ok, but ine rear is to narrow.I also ad a big front rack to my fat bike and its awesome, its allows to move a ton of grocery easy :) Very useful camping trips also, and its possible to use a extra space for second battery.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Thanks for your input.

Great video! Merci! Thanks for taking the time to make your content bilingual. I'm considering a fat bike e-bike to commute along the Gatineau Parkway in winter when driving conditions are less favorable. This video showed me the possibilities and the limitations within this region. Just to clarify, did you find riding along the groomed parkway difficult when the temperature was cold or was the difficulty only encountered when the temperature rose above -10? Also, did you ride any of the hills along the groomed trail? If yes, was it easy to control your speed?

[@RobertBeriault753]

Thanks for your input and questions. The difficulty only occurs when the temperature is above -10 C, when the snow is soft. I didn't try the hills in the fatbike trails in Gatineau Park. Some of the trails are used by walkers. When snow is soft, their boots sink, leaving thousands of dips and when the snow freezes, it make for a very rough surface to roll on.

[@winkydee]

Great vid, as always. I guess I'm late to the party but wouldn't an even lower tire pressure be more beneficial? I've heard of people running around 5psi in the winter. Thanks and keep on cycling!😊

[@RobertBeriault753]

Many fatbikers lower their pressure to 4 t0 5 lbs for off road or snow condtions. I keep it at 8 because I ride mostly in the city and the application of road Salt everywhere results in having to ride on pavement much of the winter.

[@leonardsheffield8614]

Very informative. Merçi Bien.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Glad you liked it.

[@Rognivald]

Try add a front motor. Dual motor drive makes a huge difference in snow riding.

[@abdelmoughiteouldarbia3137]

amazing video, thank you

That was great! Real COOL, excuse the pun! Thanks!

You're not going about this the best way. Skis, snow shoes, fat tires are considered flotation devices. Snow tires are not. They don't work by flotation, it just the opposite. Snow tires work by cutting through the snow until you hit the ground. To do this, the tires must be thin, not flat. Also, the tires should aggressive and self cleaning. On hard packed snow, fat tires should be fine. However, in deep snow, a thin tire is better. I have a lot of experience riding motocross bikes in the snow. The deeper it is the better it goes. You can ride in places where snowmobiles get stuck.

[@RobertBeriault753]

Thanks for sharing your experience and the interesting observation.

[@sdfaasf7574]

what about the capacity of the battery in minus temperature (degradation)? - oh my! Video for nubes.

[@RobertBeriault753]

You seem to have it worked out. Cheers!
