Ryan Carpenter loved riding his bike to farmers' markets to pick up delicious fruits and vegetables. Ryan turned his passion into a business by creating a retail smoothie store called Moberi, which allows customers to blend their smoothies by riding a stationary bike.
Moberi did $70k in sales this year and expects to finish the year at $100k through his retail location and mobile cart. Moberi has a 20% profit margin. Ryan plans to build more carts, which he expects to each do $150k in revenue next year.
Mark and Daymond enjoyed the experience and taste of making their smoothies. Kevin found the process would limit the number of customers they could serve. All sharks got a laugh out of the idea but go out.

Ryan had the blender idea and knew at least it was different from competitors and would be fun. Ryan's brothers were doctors, and while Ryan's parents were suggestive of Ryan pursuing more traditional opportunities, they supported him.
Ryan emailed his Kickstarter video to Shark Tank and got a call back that week. Ryan found Shark Tank stressful to prepare for but found it a rewarding experience.
In 2019 Ryan entirely owned Moreri and had three stores and 30 employees. They still have bikes in the stores, but they are not a significant part of the daily operation. They opened their fourth store in 2022. All stores are in the Portland, Oregon, area.
As of 2023, Moberi still has four stores. Their website is moberi.com https://moberi.com https://www.instagram.com/moberi https://www.facebook.com/moberipdx https://x.com/MoberiPDXLink Preview
