Yes that is what I said in my first comment
You called it a fatbike and an e-scooter. An e-scooter is an electric kick scooter and a fatbike is a bicycle with fat tyres which can be ridden on soft ground such as sand. In some countries the term fatbike is used to mean electric motorcycle with pedals and fat tyres, and a scooter can also be a kind of motorcycle/moped. Words are confusing.
Let me introduce you to the wondrous world of fatbikes and electric scooters.
You really don’t need to rack your brain wondering about whether I know what they are. As I said, they’re all over the place over here.
As I said there are two things people call fatbike and they have very little in common apart from fat tyres.
Well I’m glad we agree!
