How much slower is a fat bike?
For commuters, the fat bike is going to take 10 times the effort to go much slower than road and commuter bikes. These are fine to go a few miles, I suppose, but they won’t get you across town with much speed and you’ll show up looking pretty sweaty from your intense workout.

Is a fat tire bike easier to ride?
Fat bikes make it easier to ride in or over the snow, but that doesn’t necessarily make it effortless. The larger rims and tires typically add at least 4 pounds to the bicycle’s weight. The penalty isn’t too severe, though; most riders are more concerned about having fun than shaving ounces off their bikes.
What is the advantage of a fat bike?
The primary benefit of a fat bike is that they’re able to travel over diverse terrain, from snow to sand, better than regular bicycles. The wide tyres provide you with extra grip and traction, and combined with a low tyre pressure, you’ll find that you’re able to pedal over terrain that’d make conventional tyres sink.
What is a fast bike speed?
The majority of riders can average a speed of about 15 mph on a one hour ride. A good speed for a beginner is 10 mph, but you should be able to get to 15 mph pretty quickly. If you start training every once in a while, you could get your average up to 18 mph, but training on a regular basis could get you to 22 mph.
