No hating on my mods allowed. Yes, it's duct tape.

Why? More comfort?
It's just overall more fun bike to ride compared to my acoustic hard tail. It's like driving a tank and it goes quite literally anywhere. The electric assist then helps just enough to make it not feel like you're dragging a car tire behind you. I guess it's also worth noting that I almost exclusively ride hiking trails. Where I live it tends to be quite wet most of the year too. Being able to float over mud-pits is rather useful.
