The article is weird…

Fat tires are off-road tiers. If the bike isn’t primarily being used there then that shouldn’t be a consideration. Thinner tires are more efficient on flat surfaces.

The battery and motor specs are important—if you’re dealing with long distances and steep hills. I don’t know why the author is just skimming over that.
