Cadence systems detect that you're pedaling and apply a fixed shove; a torque sensor measures how hard you're pressing and scales assist continuously, so the bike accelerates with you instead of past you. On a 99 lb fat bike it also means smoother starts on loose ground, where a cadence surge can spin the tire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eIs 99 lb going to be a problem?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"sb-a\"\u003eIt's the heaviest non-M20 bike Samebike sells, and we'd rather you know now: car transport needs a hitch rack rated for heavy e-bikes, apartment life needs an elevator or ground-floor storage, and lifting it alone is a two-hand, good-form event. Riding, the weight mostly disappears — mass sits low and the motor carries it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes the battery come out to charge?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"sb-a\"\u003eSamebike's page calls it a 960Wh seat-integrated battery and — unlike its folding models' pages — never describes it as removable, so we won't claim it is. Plan on bringing the charger to the bike: garage, hallway socket, or workplace bike room, with the 4–6 hour charge fitting overnight. If a removable pack is a dealbreaker for you, email support@redtailebikes.com and we'll confirm the answer with Samebike before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eHow far will it go on real rides?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"sb-a\"\u003eSamebike's own numbers span honest and headline: 75+ km (47 mi) in 'mild electric mode' up to 160 km (99 mi) at the lowest assist level under test conditions. Between hills, weight and throttle habits, a rider mixing assist levels should plan around the 47-mile figure — anything more is bonus, and at 960Wh the bonus is often real.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWho handles warranty and what's covered?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cp class=\"sb-a\"\u003eSamebike publishes 3 years on the frame and 1 year on the battery (prorated), motor and other components; free bundled accessories are excluded. Redtail runs every claim for bikes bought here — email support@redtailebikes.com with your order number and photos. Because the battery is integrated, battery-warranty work routes through us as a service claim rather than a pack swap, which is exactly why you want a retailer in the loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKeep looking\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/samebike\"\u003eEvery Samebike at Redtail\u003c\/a\u003e  ·  \u003ca href=\"\/products\/samebike-storm\"\u003eCompare the STORM\u003c\/a\u003e  ·  \u003ca href=\"\/products\/samebike-rs-a08\"\u003eCompare the RS-A08 II\u003c\/a\u003e  ·  \u003ca href=\"\/products\/samebike-lo26-plus\"\u003eCompare the LO26 Plus\u003c\/a\u003e  ·  \u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/journal\/electric-bike-laws\"\u003eE-bike laws in your state\u003c\/a\u003e  ·  \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/shop-ebikes\"\u003eShop electric bikes by type\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePrimary sources\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col class=\"sb-bib\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSamebike US product page: Samebike CREST Fat Tire Mountain Electric Bike \u003cspan class=\"sb-addr\"\u003eus.samebike.com\/products\/crest-large-battery-fat-tire-powerful-1000w-mountain-electric-bike\u003c\/span\u003e.
