This is a great video by @tombabin, however I want to add one additional bit of information to the story in a short thread. youtube.com/watch?v=KBvBw8kk…

Is someone able to explain why there are so many fat-tired e-bikes available these days? Why has this become the default style of e-bike?

These are great responses. I'm not convinced this style is more comfortable than others (my Dutch bike is goddamn Laz-Z-Boy), but a bike that trades off efficiency for stability seems like a pretty good option for lots of people, especially if the pedal-assist can compensate.
