Chinese Mopeds Banned: Time for Quality and Safety!

een fatbike is veiliger dan de reguliere E-bike

Yesterday, my phone was flooded with messages: a crackdown on illegal, uncertified mopeds from China that are making our streets unsafe. This is fantastic news that we at Astonic are extremely pleased with. Not only is this a victory for road safety, but it also gives us the opportunity to highlight the positive aspects of fat-tire bikes.

Why Fat-Tire bikes are the future

Let’s be honest: if we put the illegal mopeds aside and look objectively at fatbikes, e-bikes, and fat-tire bikes, it becomes clear that these bikes offer several unparalleled advantages. Here are three reasons why fat-tire bikes are not only a smart choice but also a safe one:

Stability

Fat-tire bikes offer unmatched stability. The larger contact surface with the road makes them less susceptible to uneven surfaces and provides better grip. This makes them ideal for various types of terrain, from city paths to off-road adventures.

Comfort 

The thick tires act as natural suspension, significantly reducing shocks and vibrations. This ensures a much more comfortable ride, even on bumpy roads. More comfort means you can ride longer and with more enjoyment.

Safety

Safety is paramount. The stability and comfort of fat tires directly contribute to a safer riding experience. You have more control over the bike, reducing the risk of accidents. Additionally, our fatbikes are equipped with the latest technologies and safety features, ensuring you can ride with peace of mind.

Enforcement is key

It is essential that all government agencies continue to crack down and consistently remove all uncertified mopeds from the streets. This can only be achieved through stricter enforcement at all levels: from the road to sales and import. Only then can we ensure the quality and safety of our roads and make way for reliable, certified alternatives like our fatbikes and e-bikes.
