If bang for your buck is what you are looking for in a mid- level fat bike, the Mongoose Argus Comp is an excellent place to start. The MSRP of the Mongoose Argus Comp is $1,199 which is certainly not cheap for a bike, but the question is if this is a bike worthy of that price tag. But the big thing is to get out there and ride! I recommend bringing it to a bike shop and having it tuned to make sure it is safe and working as best as a $150 bike can. Caution, this can cost more money off a lot needs to be done. But essentially it is a cheap Walmart bike with parts that will wear out fast and not be worth upgrading anything. But if it gets you hooked it's done it's job. Youll buy a new bike and probably give that one away. Some may not like it and swap the tires right off the bat, but I dig it. The design choices just give it that feel of being a little bit retro and reminds me of my old blue and white Klein bike that had all the same color palate. Does anyone else make fat bikes for kids at all? I wouldn’t mind paying for better parts / performance but I have yet to see a 20? fat bike and my 10 year old daughter wants one for her birthday. E-bikes, or electric bikes, have definitely seen an increase in popularity. Another style of bike that has become significantly more popular is the fat tire bike. These are similar to regular bikes but have widened seat and chainstays and widened forks to accommodate special tires that can be around 4 inches wide. These super-wide tires allow you to float more easily over snow, rocks, roots, and soft sand. Essentially, they make it easier to bike in all conditions in all seasons. Ahead are our top picks for fat bikes in 2021. RAD Power Bikes was one of the first to popularize electric bikes. Its first products went to market with smaller 20-inch wheels, but over time it’s added more standard tire sizes to bikes in the product line. For example, the Rad Rover 5 has 26-inch wheels for great rolling efficiency. It also includes fenders for rainy rides and a suspension fork to smooth out your ride. You will need basic tools and metric socket/Allen wrenches. We provide all the electrical connections and solder-sleeves – NO SOLDERING IRON NEEDED. A hair dryer, a heat gun or a lighter can be used for shrink tubing. All battery packs include a black bag to store your unit. These new Mongoose models should be available by this fall and can be ordered directly from mongoose.com. The final price includes delivery charges to most states. Always interested to hear about the tweaks people make to ensure the bike is truly their’s.
