I'd have semi-slick tires on either and they'd both have a 3000w DD rear hub and 72v40ah batteries. 90% road use, lots of hills, moderate amount of rough roads. Would the full suspension be overkill? Would a rigid fat bike with full size 26"4.00 be able to take the small bumps and vibrations out of the road at such a high weight and speed level? The fat bike is simpler for not having to deal with suspension, but the tire choice is very limited and more expensive.
My current bike is an old rigid steel frame with 26x2.00 tires at as low a pressure as I feel safe on roads considering the heavy weight of the bike (90lbs). But when I'm carrying heavier cargo I feel it's at its limit for comfort, I've already hit small potholes at night and immediately broken spokes. I just want more comfort for me and for the rims and spokes in the event of night-time hidden potholes. I wish I could fit wider tires for my current bike but 26x2.00-2.10 seems to be the limit on my frame.
