I have a question about upgrading. I bought a fat bike a while ago. Unfortunately, it's a Chinese one, which is what we had in stores. I need your help. What can you suggest for an upgrade?
I’d ride it as is and save for a new (to you) fatbike. It would be difficult to upgrade parts on this bike as it is higher dept store quality and not meant to be upgraded. Norco, Trek, Moose, Salsa, Rocky Mountain are all decent brands. There are more as well.

What don’t you like about it? If there’re no mechanical issues like shifting that need fixing, first things I’d think about for a bike like this from stock is making sure the brakes have enough power and the saddle, grips, and pedals are comfortable for you. Beyond that, just ride it a lot and upgrade to a nicer fat bike when you feel like you’re starting to outgrow it.
