PSA: ARI bikes ending e-ROAD-bikes

[Mary Hughes]

Just so you all know:

I had a conversation with a representative of ARI bikes today.  This is the company that made Rick's e-bike, and at least one other in the area.  Based in Utah, they provided a much better configuration than competitors, at a reasonable price, for a solid, electric road bike.  They are no longer producing road bikes, moving instead to a gravel e-bike, which they claim is the demand.  They won't even have gravel frames until fall of this year.

Damned shame - not much gravel to ride on the East Coast!  But in Utah, I'm sure it's a much bigger opportunity.

So now ya know -
