I just wiped out on my e-road bike going a bit too fast around a corner on a damp morning when roads were slick, and I feel like the speed I took the corner at would've resulted in the same thing on a motorcycle ๐Ÿ˜‚

I look at bikes like yours here and I wonder how different does it feel from riding on a motorcycle? Magnitudes lighter of course. I've never ever driven a motorcycle, wouldn't mind a crotch rocket, got to ride on the back of a chopper a few times.

I wasn't much for helmets until I converted my road bike. I could even use an armored jacket or something lol

I don't personally have experience with motorcycles, but fatbike feels really different compared to mtb let alone roadbike. Need to really grab those handlebars. As an ebike it's fun as hell tho and climbs crazy hills on full assist even tho it's just 250W
