The fatbike toeter became recognizable through Dutch street videos and social clips showing groups of young riders passing by with their horns blaring. Unlike a traditional bicycle bell, this electric horn is deliberately loud and shrill, which made it a natural fit for short-form humor. Online it functions much like the classic air horn, marking entrances, fails and pranks with an instant burst of chaos. Its appeal has lasted because the sound is short, punchy and immediately signals mischievous youth culture.
