Chubbie 3
Pedal-assist, rated to 250W, assist cuts at 25 km/h. Declared by the brand; declaration not independently sighted.
Is it for you?
Best suited to
Taller riders who want a full-size 26-inch fat-tyre beach cruiser with long range and a clean, integrated battery.
Standout strength
26 x 4.0 tyres roll over sand and broken ground better than 20-inch fat bikes, and the 960Wh battery gives a claimed 80km plus.
The main compromise
A big bike to store and transport, and there is no suspension fork as standard.
Check before you buy
The step-through version is sold as the Chubbie-S 3 at the same price. Order the road-compliant configuration for public roads.
