The Felt Lebowsk-e Electric Fat Bike

While at the Fat Bike Summit in Ogden, Utah, we ran into Jim Felt, of Felt Bicycles fame. Jim always has a big smile on his face and a positive vibe, but we could tell he was even more pumped than usual (if that can happen). The reason was his Lebowsk-e electric assist fat bike that was being tested on the snowy hills of Ogden, Utah.

The Lebowsk-e takes the electric assist out of the hubs and uses a Bosch crank-drive electric motor. No price is set for this aluminum-framed Lebowsk-e but figure between $5500 and $6000. The bikes will be available after May and will be sold where Felt Bicycles are sold and in electric bike specialty retailers.

Zach raced the fat bike event at the Fat Bike Summit but pulled a sled full of beverage and stopped to serve the course marshals. This bike would have powered away from the human-powered competition. Think there would have been any protests?
