Volt Bigfoot Fat Tyre E

With its huge rubbery tyres and go-anywhere electric motor, the Bigfoot is a true monster

Worried by icy conditions? Fear not, the Bigfoot is here! And a proper monster it is, too. The standout features are (clearly) its huge 26in x4in off-road tyres. Combined with its reinforced spokes and rigid frame, you feel like a superhero with the ability to traverse any surface, from gloopy mud to fine sand and, this week at least, snow and ice. It's a heavy ride (26kg with the battery) so the 250W SpinTech motor is almost a necessity. It turns what would be a clodhopper into a quick and agile flyer, reaching a top motor speed of 15.5mph. There's no fork shox, but the giant tyres and suspension seat post deliver an incredibly comfy ride. And, with a bike this size, you’ll be relieved to hear the hydraulic disc brakes work very, very well! (voltbikes.co.uk)
