It is an electric green fat tire bike with black external wiring, a SRAM X9 clutch rear derailleur, 4 bolt purple RaceFace chainring, Somax cranks, purple Wellgo pedals, purple rim inserts, 4" 45NRTH Husker Du tires, and purple SimWorks bar plugs. Handlebars are SixFity Maids (flat bars with mild flare). Some electrical tape on the ends of the bar grips. Tektro HDC 330 hydraulic brakes, 100 series Avenir seat. Salsa stem. Very distinctive bike. NOTABLY: There is a black oval bike tracker attached to the downtube bottle cage area. It is installed on top of a black plastic mini bike pump holder. The silver screws it is attached with can only be removed with a proprietary allen key (that I own).
