Fat wheel

[Bloak]

Been raining last couple days. Needed to ride and didn't want to get Alta or Husky dirty....so big wheel it was.
Rain is making muck on top of the frozen ground outside of the protection of trees. Inside the wood lot, leaves add to the slipperiness, but is manageable.

Came to the realization, a big wheel Alta would kill it in these conditions.

I always wanted to ride one of those!

What kind of a bike is this? Could you please post the side view?

Nice! I think Honda used to make something like this too. It looks super fun!

I have a little Yamaha BW80 2-stroke. It is a lot of fun. The tires are almost 8 inches wide! I've had it for decades. It has an auto-clutch so I use it when I am teaching kids to ride. It will haul me around the field surprisingly well and go up some pretty good hills. And I'm 6-3 and weigh 220 pounds in street clothes.

I wonder if it would cut the battery range in half like the Segway does with the fat tires?
