On the slopes and forests of Tahkovuori in Pohjois‑Savo, a Helkama eFatbike turns marginal surfaces into rideable terrain. With a quiet electric assist and four‑inch tires, the bike is built to carry you over snow, soft sand or uneven singletrack; assistance is adjustable or can be turned off entirely, so the pace is yours to set.
