Fat Tire Bikes in 2025 – Still Worth the Hype?

It’s 2025, and fat tire bikes still aren’t going anywhere — literally and figuratively. What began as a niche trend for snow or sand has become a go-to for riders everywhere. And at Demon Electric, we’ve leaned into that evolution with powerful fat tire models built to conquer all terrain like the Thunderbolt and the Thunderbolt SL.

Why the Hype Isn’t Dead

The appeal of fat tire bikes has matured. It’s no longer about being different — it’s about being capable. Whether you're commuting in unpredictable city conditions or exploring rugged trails, the traction, comfort, and stability of wide 4” tires are hard to beat.

On Reddit, in bike groups, and across delivery forums, riders still rave:

  • “You just feel planted and confident, even in bad weather.”

  • “Perfect for food delivery — curb hops and potholes don’t matter.”

  • “A bit heavy, but with a motor? Total game changer.”

And that’s where Demon steps in.
