Currently, it is quite challenging to purchase a legal and approved Fatbike. The market is flooded with low-quality Fatbikes that are officially not allowed on public roads. The brakes, battery, and motor used in these bikes are of very low quality, and the frame and fork are extremely thin. Many of these models are offered on various online platforms at prices ranging from €600 to €1200 and by bike shops offering lower-end models.
In my previous blog, there is a link to ANWB and Bright, where they provide advice on which brands are safe to use and where you can ensure you are participating in traffic legally.
