The Dirwin Seeker is a Class 3 electric fat bike that combines a powerful motor with a long battery life, intuitive display and comfortable ride geometry. When we reviewed the Dirwin Seeker we quickly learned how well rounded it is compared to some other e-bikes we’ve reviewed. From hill climbs, to off-road to general handling the Seeker impressed us with its wide array of strong suits.

The Seeker’s 750W motor produces up to 80Nm of torque. This makes for a very capable all-terrain bike that doesn’t have any issue plowing through sandy pits or up gravel roads. While plenty of fat tire e-bikes claim to have all terrain capability, very few prove it like the Seeker.

Electric bikes cost money; probably more money than the average person might expect. So why are electric bikes so expensive?

Bicycles have come a long way since the heyday of Schwinn and the classic six-speed. Even without a motor and battery, a traditional bicycle is a complex piece of engineering. That engineering takes time and money — likely a lot more time and money than the average person might expect, which could explain some of the sticker shock so many first-time e-bike buyers experience.
