I just thought they looked cool. I had a few motorized bikes and always was worried about tearing it up on sidewalks since I would jump off and onto the street so when I saw those fat tires I really liked them. I bought the 7 speed setup with disk brakes so I can make gear selections that would be easier to pedal. no more fear of pot holes, sidewalks or any other dings on the road.. this thing just rides on by....
