is this Bike good for regular street biking?

Heavy bike

24” wheels, this is a bike for a child.

Tell me more about this Northrock you saw at Costco? Road bike? Which location?

Looks are a personal choice however i have always found the look of the FAT TIRE bikes to be wanting, however i see the benefit of being wide to not fit down sewer grates. Not the bike for me, however aesthetically others may love the look.

fat bikes were designed for use on soft surfaces. Think sand and snow, not sewer grates.

Northrock XCF fat bikes have been showing up in stores.....i saw 10 of them at Leaside/Overlea Sunday afternoon.

As other have mentioned, fat Tire bikes can be ridden on street, but it is less efficient at doing so.
It is designed for better control on non paved surfaces.

Another thing to keep in mind - you would never be able to use standard bus bike racks, as the fat Tire will not fit.

Yeah, kind of heavy at 48 lbs. But perfectly adequate for riding around the immediate neighborhood, local grocery store, or a 10km ride. I think I’d be miserable taking this on any longer rides, though.

Saw some too in Mississauga, no price marked on them. I was actually pleasantly surprised, 1x10 Deore so not some Tourney level 2x7 or something. Maybe the price is higher than I was thinking.

OK, still not light at all by any stretch. OK for short rides but not fun for longer ones, especially with the fat tires.

Saw just one Northrock XC27 n my local costco for $499. Is this good?

Its good for the price. I personally wouldn't want suspension for a bike I'm mostly riding paths and streets with though.

I may buy but was looking for smaller cap exposure in energy.

you can find some really good stuff on facebook marketplace. But they are correct - 48 lbs. is brutal.
