No license, no insurance, no registration required.

🏖️ 1. Beach & Dune Cruising

The Dutch coastline stretches over 250 kilometers – from Zeeland to Texel. Standard e-bikes struggle on sand. FT02 glides.

Feature	Benefit on sand
20" x 4.0" fat tires	Float on soft sand instead of sinking

250W assist	Helps against beach headwinds
Corrosion-resistant components	Handles salt air and sand

Best locations: Zeeland (Domburg, Oostkapelle), Zandvoort aan Zee, Scheveningen, Texel, Noordwijk.

💡 Pro tip: Lower tire pressure to 8-10 PSI for maximum sand performance. Re-inflate to 15-20 PSI for pavement.

🏙️ 2. City Commuting

Fat tires	Absorb cobblestone vibrations
Upright position	Better visibility in traffic
No throttle / 25km/h	Fully legal – no police worries
