    Hello from Québec

    Salut Jean-Marc! I agree that the fatbike season is short and weather prone. In fact, I now start to think that snow and biking aren't compatible, unless the snow is hard packed like concrete. BUT when the conditions are there, fatbiking is a lot of fun. And today, it was incredible at...

    Never too late to start?!

    Marley, a little story for you. Last week, I was chatting with a guy in a chairlift at my local ski center, Mont Saint-Anne. Because of covid-19 restrictions, we are required to cover our faces, so I couldn't tell how old he was, but he sounded quite young. He was telling me he prefers...

    Never too late to start?!

    Beat you on that! Started MTB last Spring at 66, 1,312 km of intermediate/advanced trails. Don't expect to buy a eMTB until I reach 70, but will be happy to have a eFattie for next Winter, as I find a bit demanding fatbiking on snow trails. Still managed to pedal 940 km of trails so far ;)

    Spherik SEF, a new eFattie on the block!

    I was wondering about the extra weight depending if the battery is internal or external. I would think that an internal battery requires a bigger frame, so there could be extra grams added to the bike, but I am not too sure. I'll compare my Spherik with a Norco VLT when I get it. Actually, the...

    Spherik SEF, a new eFattie on the block!

    I got the plain fork, snow terrain usually require a suspension and you want to keep the bike as light as possible doesn't stall in the snow. But I'll get the suspension for spring and autumn, when there's a lot of mud in the MTB trails. I think Spherik did a good choice with the Mastodon...

    Spherik SEF, a new eFattie on the block!

    Like I said in my newbie introduction post, I started fatbiking this winter. I soon found out that biking on snow is a lot of work, so using my age as an excuse (soon to be 67) , I decided to get a eFat for the next season. I wanted a good quality eFat, so that eliminated a lot of eCrap on the...

    Hello from Québec

    I have quite a few windsurfing friends frow Alberta, all fine people! I don't know if it was the same in Alberta, but this Winter, there is was fatbike craze here in Québec. Everything was pretty much sold out by October. At one point, guys would buy all the cheap fatbikes on sale at the local...

    Hello from Québec

    Hi! I'm French-Canadian from the Quebec city area, a great place to live when one enjoys outdoor activities, although I like to spend Spring and Summer in USA (Cape Hatteras and Columbia River Gorge) for my favorite sport, windsurfing. Because of covid-19, I had to stay home so I decided to...
