I have a fat bike and they look great but to be honest if I had my time again I would have got an e bike with regular MTB tyres because I don't do snow or beach and that's what the fat tyres are for and at low tyre pressure.
My bike is pretty similar to the Voltbike Yukon but the older model with only 250w motor but it does have Panasonic cells and 48v 14.5amh. My top speed so far has only been 38kph (23.5mph) but I can easily get 60kms (38 miles) on one charge.
