Found this picture of my rig while going thru my photos. I wish it was summer already..

No hating on my mods allowed. Yes, it's duct tape.

Well if they don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.
- Keep your stick on the ice.

Cool although funny to me because winter is much better for cycling weather here than summer is! Way too hot!
- We had one winter here with freezing weather and no snow and that was great for bike riding. Knee deep snow changes everything then.

Duct tape is fine. I don't understand why people are obsessed with fat tired recently.
- Because for third of the year I'm riding in deep snow.
- Iz fun

it has mud guards for a reason
- Four of them to be specific. Now brainstorming ones for the rotors as well.
  
  That sounds amazing, but which 'approach' to the rotor would be covered?

Those wheels/tires look like a nightmare for technical mountain riding with all that weight all the way at the edge of the rotational mass.
Looks like a fantastic bike for some chill cruising though.
- My hardtail is much more nimble than this, but then again; with those tires it don't need to be. I can just drive over what I'd otherwise be trying to avoid. Technical trail (not downhill) riding is what I almost exclusively do. It's not fast but it's consistent.

The accidental forced perspective of the image made my brain see it as a 30+ foot tall bike as I scrolled past.

Yes, it's duct tape.
You say that like duct tape isn't in all of our houses, just waiting to be useful in one of ten thousand ways.
Here it's adding color contrast, presumably in a way the rider likes, and it makes cleaning up easier while also giving some minor protection against light scratching.

I can't wait to take my ebike out. My wife and I managed to get a couple suburb rides in while my truck was busted, but then it got too cold for her and too snowy for me, but once it's warm and dry enough we are heading to the nearest trail.
