Ari Bikes Introduces Wire Peak 3.0 eMTB

@camcoz69: getting fatter is telling! I know a few bikers who’ve gotten fatter with an ebike but get the same workout! Your arms get more but less cardio for your legs and heart. I’m not saying I won’t get an ebike at some point but you can’t say and I won’t say, it’s a better workout.
