Street? What is the resistance on them? All street bikes I know have super skinny tires.

Beach cruisers and Mtn bikes have fat tires, but this takes it to a whole other level.
This baby ain't built for speed, it's built for everything else. [emoji106]
Enjoy Jeffrey!

From what I have read, you adjust the tire pressure to fit the terrine. You can go down to 4lbs for beach/snow and up to 20 for pavement, tho 18 is the most comfortable.
Fatbikes are much safer for street use. Thin tire bike can get caught in road cracks and there are the potholes to worry about.
Here in Thailand, they don't know how to build a road making the Fatbike a good choice for me.

Never been on one personally, but we get plenty of snow up here, so I've seen them around. Bike nuts in the area swear by them and get jealous when someone gets one.

Personally, I JUST bought a used mountain bike from a local shop this summer for $45. That was a good investment for me in a bike. If I was more serious about it, I might like to have one like that one up there.

 

[Mustang02]

I haven't seen one yet. My mountain bike was almost $500. Makes me cry.

If it makes you feel any better, mine's a bit small for me. Either that, or my back is just in that bad of shape. Highly probable.

But it coasts like a dream. Haha! Not much work to ride.

Ouch. Have you tried raising the handlebars? Back pain while riding isn't fun.

It's a Finn Maxton 4.0. No wonder I couldn't find anything on it. Only a facebook page. Do they have a website?

That's my next step. I raised the seat way up and that helped for the pedals, but it feels like more of a length of the bike issue. Like the handle bars and seat are a bit too close for my body/reach. I'm 6'2" with Gorilla-length arms. Haha

Still, given how long it's been since I've ridden a bike or even just been in that kind of body position, it could very well just be me needing to stretch more often, which is a factor in most other parts of my life these days as well...
