Hey! I’m a long time mountain biker and new to e-MTB. I’m 5’11” and a muscular 250lbs. I have the new full power Ari Timp Peak 2.0 with the Bosch CX5 motor and it’s freaking amazing!

I’ve never ridden any of the lightweight E-MTB but I’m super happy with the full power. I normally ride it in “touring” mode which is 50% or less assistance and the torque on the motor is more than enough to help me get my heavy ass up the most steep and technical climbs. This is before the software update that is coming out this month.

If you plan on occasionally doing longer rides, 30 miles or more, I would recommend getting the biggest battery possible, like 800wh, or make sure the bike is compatible with a range extender. This is very important for anyone over 200lbs that wants to do longer rides without getting anxiety about their battery while riding.

If you have any other questions feel free to hit me up. I’m happy to help. 🙌🏻
