Top 3 Differences between the Step Thru and Original Fatfish Fat Tyre Ebikes
1. The choice of a bigger battery
If you opt for the Fatfish Step, you get to choose between a Samsung battery with the same power as the original Fatfish step over frame or a bigger Samsung battery. The bigger Samsung battery will add at least 20 extra kilometres to your range!
2. Softer Suspension
The Fatfish Step comes equipped with Shimano's 8-speed shifter and an inverted 100mm front suspension fork, delivering a smoother, more sophisticated shock absorption experience. The softer suspension pairs perfectly with the added range, making the Fatfish Step ideal for longer journeys and riders who prioritise comfort. On the other hand, the original Fatfish is built for the rugged, sporty rider who craves a bold, beast-mode ride. It’s the go-to choice for those who want a more adventurous riding experience and don’t mind pushing the limits. Whether you’re after comfort or raw power, there’s a Fatfish fat tyre e-bike to match your style.
3. Greater Payload
The Fatfish Step frame brings an extra 30 kg of payload capacity, boosting it from 150 kg to 180 kg—all while keeping the bike’s weight at approximately 36 kg, including the battery. This makes the Fatfish Step perfect for riders who need extra carrying power without compromising the sleek design and performance of their ride.
If you're all about comfort-fueled explorations and want an effortless, laid-back ride, the Fatfish Step-Thru is your perfect match. But if you're craving adrenaline-fueled journeys and a little extra thrill, the Fatfish Stepover is ready to take you on the ride of a lifetime. Either way, you’re getting a top-tier fat tyre e-bike that turns heads and gets you where you need to go!
