Video: Fat Bike Trials in Bentonville with Pat Smage
Bentonville is an amazing bicycle playground. Every time I visit I am blown away by the amount of new trails and bicycle-related infrastructure. Living in Wisconsin, it is usually one of the best places to go in the winter to escape the snow. My wife and I took a trip there in February to ride bikes all around the area. While the goal of the trip was not to make an edit, we just came across too many challenging and fun lines not to do some filming and throw a video together. We did a bunch of different rides and this edit is a compilation of the best shots. Thanks to all the trail builders who are making Bentonville such a cool place to ride!
*I did not ride the unfinished feature at 2:30 without permission. It was actually the builder's idea!
We were about ready to head home with rain overnight and forecast most of the day, but I still wanted to get one more ride in. So I rolled to the end of the street we were staying on and found a fun spot to have a solid session. No matter where you are in Bentonville, you don't have to go far to enjoy some time on your bike.
Thanks for watching!
-Pat

That is what I want!
I had one was fun, BUT not as good as could be!
Any one want to get on this idea?
What year do you have? It looks like '18 or '19 OSET made some upgrades but it's a bit difficult to really parse model year changes.
Have you seen the Electric Motion trials bikes? Super sweet, even with a hydraulic clutch and look to have great power. Made in France and not huge distribution yet. I've inquired on one but haven't heard back yet.
These bikes are expensive, but have heavy but cheap steel frames crappy motor & battery,
But with a quality frame & reasonable bike/e-bike parts = 10-15kg?
I have most of the parts I need!
Have been wanting to build something like this for a while now!
So Any one want to build me a frame?
Still just want a quality frame, if had access to an aluminium welder would just cut up some bike frame & make it work!
I think would be easily under 15 kg
But will dig out the parts tomorrow & give you an actual real life weight, maybe some pics if your lucky?
But sold my Fat bike after riding a pump track on it & I now want an other Fat bike!
Yes can roll over anything, but suck for riding pump tracks!
