The Storm Electric Fatbike on Indiegogo has changed their entire website to the Sondors electric fatbike. This was a direct result of Prodeco’s Cease and Desist letter send as soon as the campaign went viral.

I bought a Thudbuster on Fleabay several months ago and it ended up sitting in my shed on my commuter bike since then. After throwing away my 5th cheap bike seat from bent rails I ventured out to throw it on my fatbike. I was completely blown away. On the commuter the Thudbuster was no…

The Juggernaut is tricked out with Alivio shifters and Tektro brakes (Aquila line – similar to the Avid BB7), although several people opted for hydraulic brakes (HDC…
