Do you think fat tire folding electric bicycles are suitable for women's daily life?

with extra wide tread and powerful motor, can easily navigate beach, snow, mud and rocks, giving you unparalleled stability and grip on any terrain, allowing you to enjoy the pleasure of riding. Folds easily to fit in your trunk or on public transportation.

No.

Fat tire bikes have greater rolling resistance, which results in less kilometers from a charge.

A mountain bike, or bike with narrower tires, would be better.

Fat tire bikes are generally heavy, difficult to maneuver or carry without it rolling on its wheels/tires.
Add a motor & battery to fat tire bike, the fat tire ebike becomes even more cumbersome, more difficult to carry, even when folded, it would take up lots of space and require lots of strength to carry or maneuver.

If you feel that you can handle 80 lb. sack of cement with ease, just imagine that bag of cement is foldable on a hinge and likely move around when you try to carry it.

tc2wheel, I will be honest, and that broken record when I say I LOVE my fat bike. I rode it for 9-months in South America (Colombia and Ecuador). The mountainous route we rode on, even regular mountain or gravel bikes weren't enough. In other words, my aluminum-framed fat bike weighed less than my riding buddy's steel-framed gravel bike.

But, I agree with you about the same becoming unwieldy and a headache when out in the mountains where it would be impossible to recharge. Even flying with an e-fat bike would be very difficult.

During the above trip, at least on a couple of occasions, we had to lift and pass our bikes across fences. I was happy that my bike was aluminum framed and did not have a battery/motor.

Fat bikes definitely offer greater stability, grip, and the pleasure of riding. Today, I rode from Boston to Providence, RI on my fat bike. It's about 50 miles and I had my laptop, camelback in the frame bag while the rest of the gear where in my backpack. I covered this 50 miles in about 4:45 minutes. Yes, maybe slower than a road bike but much, much happy and have more smiles on my face..:-)

Many women prefer them, yes.

Only the full electric quality though. They are dreadful for people beyond this because of the weight.

A folding one I have not yet seen. That would be 20"? That sounds like it would be troublesome immensely because smaller wheels require more output to keep in motion, although they accelerate faster. Coup this with the high rolling resistance and we're quickly in the realm of a very uncomfortable haul.
