ANWB praises the safety of fatbikes
Fatbikes are growing in popularity, but unfortunately, they often suffer from a negative reputation. This is largely due to (illegal) low-cost models that fail to meet European regulations and are equipped with overly powerful, modified motors. Essentially, these are mopeds marketed as e-bikes. Fortunately, the ANWB has shared positive news for fatbike enthusiasts, highlighting models that comply with current laws and regulations.
Sleek and low-maintenance design
In its article, the ANWB shines a spotlight on the Phatfour FLX+, a model that stands out for its minimalist and stylish design. The Phatfour FLX+ combines aesthetics with practical functionality, featuring a belt drive that requires less maintenance compared to the chain-driven version of the Phatfour FLX. This makes it not only an attractive but also a practical choice for users.
Advanced technology for a smooth ride
Another standout feature of the Phatfour FLX+ is its 2-speed motor, which automatically shifts to a higher gear at 17 km/h, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride. Phatfour has also collaborated with Betronic to incorporate safeguards against speed modifications. Any tampering attempts are detected and displayed on the screen, voiding the warranty. This demonstrates Phatfour’s commitment to safety and reliability for its customers.
Safe choices in the world of fatbikes
In the article, the ANWB recommends six safe fatbikes from reputable brands that use high-quality components and implement measures to prevent tampering. This aims to raise consumer awareness about safe options and the advantages of choosing a fatbike that adheres to all regulations.
