Fat tire vs Standard for first e-bike? (Ride1Up Versa)

Hi all, I’m looking into buying my first e-bike out of college and after a couple days of research the Ride1Up Versa has the most appealing features for myself. The biggest thing that sets it apart to me is the ability to have a passenger, competitive to similar bikes like the Aventon Adventure 3.

I’ve never had a fat-tire bike before and am trying to figure out if my use will justify the extra $100. I live in a town with very, very snowy winters (northern Midwest USA) and would like something to use year-round. Any insight to this would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

stuck faucet attachment (help please!)

I’m at a loss on how to get this out. It’s an adapter attachment I put on so we could connect a portable dishwasher to our sink. We move in a couple days and need to put the original aerator back on. Any miracle ideas on how to get it off at this point are appreciated. The threads connecting it to the faucet are internal.

Here’s the list of things I have tried, all to zero avail:

- Using a pipe wrench with tape and/or rubber around it

- Used a rubber strap wrench

- Soaking in vinegar overnight and then repeating the previous

- Heating the center slightly using a heat gun

- Using liquid wrench to soak

- Drilling holes to create a slot and using a large screwdriver in the slot/metal bar to create more leverage (in which case the metal bar simply bent). [See picture two]
