Why are fat-tire e-bikes becoming so popular?

[Justin]

Fat-tire models look great and handle rough roads comfortably, but they aren't always great because they’re also heavier and even less efficient sometimes. They seem to be very popular with newer riders. Based on your personal experience, can you say fat tires are genuinely practical for daily riding, or are they mostly chosen for comfort and appearance?

I think many people prefer that these days because it is durable and can withstand harsh road conditions. But one would have to sacrifice comfort for it.
