Anything else I need?
I feel pretty safe with all this but it still honestly scares the crap out of me riding at 30+mph with cars.
I don’t ride that fast, but if I did, I would not be getting PPE off Amazon. Get DOT/SNELL rated full gear, full face protection, same as you would wear riding a motorcycle because those are motorcycle speeds but on a fatbike that isn’t designed to stably go those speeds.
Ok, where do you go for that? Do you get fit?
The bike is going it’s designed specs. It’s an Aventon Adventure 2. I haven’t modified it. I can just pedal it up from motor 20 to man power 30.
Get spoke reflectors. Super cheap, super easy to install, and your wheel lights up in the dark.
Get a more high visibility jacket.
I used to love riding my bike in traffic, until I started taking driving lessons.
I was looking for the bikers and missed them pretty often.
Good point
Be safe
You got a winterized version for riding on roller-compacted road snow?
I don’t live in an area that snows
You have a good start.
Steel toe boots and motorcycle pants. Dress for a motorcycle.
I got these boots

I wasn’t told steel toe was necessary
Those shoes have front protection. Strong anti-crush and road rash protection is what one needs.
You are at a weird intersection in experience. I would treat a 30 mph device as a motorcycle.
I’m lucky enough to not have to ride with cars. That being said, I don’t ride at that velocity either
Maybe some padded pants?
Pants are kinda hard to get on and off and I might not want to wear them all day. Do they have like “overpants”?
