Check out my new UBER fat electric bike with 10" wide front wheel. Custom made.
 

This bike was custom made for me. I am going to put this on Indiegogo crowdfunding in a week. If you like this bike, let me know
It has 250W/36V motor. But, production will have 500W/48V motor, RockShox suspension, seat suspension and front fork is adjustable so that regular fat tire can be installed in front.

Bike will come with 2 tires for front fork. 1 x Kenda 26x4.6 Jugernaut and 1 x 20x10" ATV tire. Front fork has adjustable width, so wheels can be interchanged.

Meh. If I was at all imclined towards that kind of bike, I go with a proven performer, Hanebrink. Dan introduced the 'extreme bike' in the early '90s, and was one of the early MTB pioneers to bring MX tech to bikes. His bikes rock.

I thought he started doing those in the '80s. But yeah, long time ago regardless.

I thought Uber was now picking up people on bicycles after reading the title.

Pretty cool.

I reckon that must be a rigid fork. If not, you should brace the sliders together. Should probably have longer stanchions also, cuz if it has much travel, the HTA is gonna get too steep.

I'd probably go for handlebar mounted water bottle cages, also.

I heard Uber is doing bike messenger service in SF. Crazy.

Yeah, I'm not sure, so you may be right. I first saw one in the pages of Mountain Bike Action back in the late '80s, probably '89-'90, and thought it was a "proof of concept" at the time, but my recollection is not crisp. Remember his inverted MTB suspension fork?!

You are absolutely right! Hanebrink is the best. They been around for awhile. But, their electric bike starts at $5000 and up. Kind of expensive. I was going to sell these bikes at $1600.

Well, maybe not too steep. I just noticed all shots had bike pointing downhill, which often makes HTA look steeper than it really is.

Hey guys, don't be too critical, I mean, it is not easy to create new bike from scratch.

Sorry, didn't mean to come off too critical. Just offering my first impressions.

What is the rationale for the narrow rear tire, or perhaps the fat front? Isn't float the limiting factor for soft terrain like sand? Why the mismatch front to rear? I get that the wide front will stabilize steering, but wont the rear dig in and bog down?

Great if I was lazy and lived on a beach. No on both counts.

Cool build. I'd love to try one of these. This and the Hanebrink makes me nostalgic for the minibikes I was never allowed to have growing up in the 1970s.

I give you credit for offering this up for criticism. That said, you should welcome every aspect of your design getting torn apart by the BF crowd. The knowledge and experience here is pretty amazing and if you are serious about going to production with this then any criticism you get now can only make your design better. Since you just joined BF presumably to help market your creation, you probably don't realize how often people show up here looking to promote their new gadget, bike design, etc. Building a rapport with the community can be very helpful to you.

Zero interest here.
