Anyone done such a thing. Never even ridden a fat bike although its needs doing. However, as I barely ride the MTB as it feels so damn slow compared to my road and TT bikes, I suspect that I won't be enamoured by the fattie. However in many ways a powered version would very much suit the wife and my occasional off road excursions.
Online searches for e fatties bring up cheap and nsty novelty stuff so a conversion is of interest and probbly cheaper.
BB mount I guess or would a hub set up do? (If such a hub could be found)

The tongsheng kit can be got in 100mm BB format. I think its an adaptor someone has made for them but the kit is good for the price

Bafeng as well but IMO its not as good a kit

This is one of those threads where, based on the title, the full text in the original post should be hidden for at least 30 minutes to allow for comedy replies.

Sorry, can't help with the actual question.

My sister in-law is not a cyclist just someone who occasionally rides a bike .
Her favourite bikes are the electric fatties you can hire in the Alps.
She says they feel safer.
They are of course bloody lethal in mud.
