It was a far step up from a 10 year old Walmart $80 special that I rode casually for all these years.
I may look at doing an E-bike conversion with a hub motor, and battery like what is found on ebay. I like this route better than a dedicated E-bike...with the quick disconnect front wheel, I could switch back and forth if needed.

I ended up putting a 36V 500W Ebikeling front hub kit on this bike, so the combined cost (plus battery) is less than half the price of the fat tire bikes I was looking at. I'm at work now, but will post pics when I get home.
