Ari used to be called Fezzari, and they've been selling bikes direct from Utah for years. The Nebo Peak is their lightweight e-bike: a carbon trail bike with the Fazua Ride 60, the same motor as the Focus JAM² SL.
Vital's lightweight e-MTB test found it had the best power-to-weight ratio in the group. At around 19 kg it's easy to throw around, and the 430 Wh battery goes further than most bikes in this class.
Buying direct keeps the price down, and Ari has a reputation for good customer service. You give up a local shop, but if you're handy, it's a smart way to get a light carbon e-bike.
What I like
- Best-in-test power-to-weight
- Light carbon frame
- Good range for a light bike
What I don't
- Direct-to-consumer only
- Not as strong as full-power bikes
Long-term test pending. Ari, if you'd like this one ridden and reviewed in full, let's talk.
