Trailblazing Fat Bicycles

This is the First Fat Bicycle Equipped With All-Wheel-Drive

— October 25, 2016 — Autos
An Australian adventurer and innovator by the name of Kate Leeming has gone ahead and unveiled a truly trailblazing fat bicycle that is the very first one ever to be equipped with fully functional all-wheel-drive.

Currently the subject of a crowdfunding campaign over on Kickstarter, this particular fat bicycle comes in two different models, the 4-inch-tire FAT 4 and the 5-inch-tire FT 5, both of which also happen to come fully decked out with mechanical disc brakes and carbon forks for added performance enhancement. What's great about these bicycles' all-wheel-drive modules is the fact that they can easily be deactivated when not required, giving riders full control over their cycling experience.

Stable, powerful and stylish, this all-wheel-drive fat bicycle is a trailblazer designed for those who want to well and truly expand their cycling horizons.
