It's cheap (really cheap, bought it used), weak brakes, heavy, poor gearing, slow etc. I'm riding it all over, creek beds, trails, gravel I'm having a blast with it. Will be fun this winter, gives me something to ride a little with, and get outdoors in the winter months here.

Been looking at a used one of these. They weight 45 pounds! Is that common for a fatbike?
I look to it being a project I can upgrade.

That one is a lower level bike so inexpensive components are typically heavier.
I wouldn't upgrade a bike like that. Ride it until it dies then get a better overall bike.
You'll spend more money on upgrades over time that an entirely new bike up front.

The bike shop has a carbon fiber frame fat bike - I think that's what it is. It is light as a feather. It costs $4500.
