Why there are no (to my knowledge) electric bikes with 700c tires? All the ones I’ve seen use fat tires, what is the reason behind that? Cc @nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

You got it backwards. Fat tires have more rolling resistence. They’re just more comfy to ride on
Not just more comfy; the added resistance also means less likelihood of wobble at higher speeds. Since the e-bike helps less experienced riders achieve higher speeds, that extra stability can be important.
