@@nobs969 Brad says it’s not any faster, just has a lot more torque. He didn’t overheat once and he was able to tackle the bigger hills as I f*cking walked! He didn’t change out the B2 motor either, just the controller, screen, and battery blender. It doesn’t fit in the housing at the crank anymore, but he figured out a nice way to get it tucked up under the seat.

@@megadavesworld4238 thanks. Can’t wait to see more videos and your option of any changes you do to your bike.

Are you talking about the ‘axel spin of death’? Hopefully you didn’t wreck the motor/cables. To everyone reading this, GET THOSE TORQUE ARMS ON THERE!! Sweet bike, but dumb issue. As seen in the vid, the torque arms sent from China are round and not slotted. Frame can’t take the torque of the motor on its own. I hope you get it working soon, good luck 🤞🏼

I just texted the owner and asked about the site. I guess they’ve shut down business for now but are looking to start up in the future. I wanted to pry more into it, but it’s really none of my business. Too bad, it’s a pretty sweet bike! I guess I’m one of the lucky ones

Dang. I was gonna buy one this summer. Hopefully they are back up soon.

@@jonathanwelke 🥲I hope so too

Where can I buy the battery 🔋 charger please

We're can I buy the battery 🔋 charger please

Thanks man! I just got back from Ontario (Niagara eclipse), you’d have to be a brave mofo to ride the roads in GTA for sure. I subbed back. Sorry about your crash, I hope you’re ok.

This bike would be perfect for that. It comes with the rear seat and large foot pegs. My wife has a Rad Rover and it has nowhere near the power or range of this bike.

Yes. I have the Blade 2 which only comes in 52 volt 1000 watts and has full suspension. Blade 48v 500w $1799 Max speed 40Kph Blade 52v 1000w $2199 Max speed 48 Kph Blade 2 (full suspension) $2999 max 48kph All on sale as of this writing. So it’s only a $400 difference if you don’t need the full suspension, and $400 bucks is well worth it for the extra speed and torque! I hope this helps.

I actually had to get a little inventive to mount it like this. I don’t have an easy answer for you because I used a piece of metal from an old microphone mounting kit. Then just used Garmins handlebar mount to mount to the old mic piece. The whole thing is mounted by the stem mount. Sorry for this crappy answer, it’s hard to explain without pictures.

I figured you might’ve made it. Thanks for letting me know. Love the videos👍

@@nobs969 Thank you. More are coming when it warms up🥶

Yeah. They are a brand new company and there’s definitely not many places to get info. Most of my info comes from just simply finding out for myself. The main thing about this bike is that it is based on the Ariel Rider Grizzly, but they improved on pretty much everything and sell it for cheaper. It is slightly faster, better brakes, much better screen and menu, and it comes with the rear rack and passenger seat. Any questions you have I’ll be glad to help out with what I can.

Last time I rode it was right before Christmas, it was still dry outside, but cold. It handled great! But I don’t think it would be great in the snow unless you change the tires to knobby tires and don’t use the front motor. It would be skidding out all the time because it’s just too much power in the snow. But that’s what’s great about the bike. You can choose which motor you want to use, or use both. You’re really going to like it, it’s fast. Any issues when setting it up, let me know. I’ll do my best to help you out. The manual isn’t awesome at explaining things😂

@@megadavesworld4238 Appreciate it, I think the video Kevin put up should be enough for me to put the bike together.

@@megadavesworld4238 Hey man I got my bike earlier than expected. I got it setup today and took it for a ride. I was just so surprised at the AWD power it literally feels like a low speed motorbike. Honestly I mostly used RWD but could only get around 40k and tried shifting to AWD but a car passed me cause I was a bit too slow. But when it kicked in it felt a bit smoother rather than starting in AWD. I am a lighter rider at around 5'9 150-165lbs. Bike is really fun though and it is my first ebike so overall super happy with it. Again thanks for your video really helped solidify my decision on buying it. Well worth it I think considering competing bikes offer much less at a similar price.

@@kiwifruitguy Do you have the max speed set to 99km/h in the menu? If not, do so. I’m just over 200lbs and in single motor I can get it over 50km/h on flat. Also, make sure it’s set to 1000w in the menu. The bike come ‘governed’ at 32km/h and 500 watts and you have to jack those up for the most fun😜. Be careful tho, that front wheel likes to do burn outs, especially on gravel and dirt.

@@megadavesworld4238 Yeah I was just going over hillier areas and didn't account for that, I easy got 50kmh on flat ground no problem. The bike is incredibly powerful no doubt. Was also relatively windy when I took it out and a bit cold so definitely another factor.

I’m so glad I did. It is seriously so much fun!

@@megadavesworld4238 do you think it's still worth buying one honestly in 2024?

@@darrenmatte5754 Honestly, yes and no. If you don’t care that the screen is 3 years old and simple looking, it’s a great bike. For off-roading, I haven’t seen any other bike that competes with it until you start looking at Sur-rons and similar. I love this bike, but I got the new KS Stallion and it makes the Blade 2 seem very outdated. It’s quite a bit faster and the components on it are far superior. It CAN do some off-roading, but the Blade 2 ergonomics are much better for aggressive riding in the dirt. Kinda like a dirt bike. So it kind of depends on what you’re using it for. Heavy duty off-roading, I prefer the Blade 2. Ripping around the city, my KS Stallion is more fun.

@megadavesworld4238 that's Dave, I appreciate your feedback, definitely gives me something to think about. I wonder if they will ever make a blade 3!!! Cheers man, hopefully I can make up my mind soon lpl

@@darrenmatte5754 I’m hoping they’ll be a Blade 3 as well, I haven’t heard anything about one yet.

The Blade 52v 1000w has foot pegs that come with the bike, and it’s quite a bit cheaper than my Blade 2. Only difference is that it doesn’t have rear suspension . rizebikes.ca/products/blade-52v?variant=40016460087449

@@megadavesworld4238 Yes I know, that why I want to know if I can install pegs in the blade 2.

@@HastaChaoz I’m not aware of anyone who has successfully installed pegs on the Blade2. I’d try looking on Amazon for motorcycle passenger foot peg kits, you could probably find something that could work.

This bike would definitely be a good fit for you. I’m 5’8, my son in my other video for this bike is 5’11. The owners that make this bike are 6’2 ish and it is more suited for taller/bigger riders and you’ll have tons of room for your legs under those handle bars. My buddy Brad 6’1” had to raise his handlebars on his Blade 2 to make it more comfortable for him. The Stallion has quite a bit more power, is faster, and every single component is higher quality and it’s very noticeable when the two bikes are sitting side by side. You absolutely get more bang-for-your-buck with the Stallion. Dont get me wrong though, I still love my Blade 2, but the Stallion is a much more powerful and updated bike.

@@megadavesworld4238 thanks for quick reply. Is your ks stallion for sale? Looking for a used one. Am in edmonton.

@@jonathanwelke No way, man, I love this bike! 🤣 The bike in this video was just a loner, I didn’t get mine until early November and it has a few extra features added to it. I chose the army green one and themed it after the Willys Jeep. I’ll have a video up in the next day or so of it. Anyways, I was told if you pick up the bike here in Calgary, you can shave $300 dollars off the price, so it’ll be $3600. I was easily able to fit the box in the back of my Highlander. So if you’re coming to Calgary, you can get a few bucks knocked off.

Cheers buddy. Enjoy the snow! And the ride. I think ill pick up that stallion come spring time. Save a few more paychecks

@@jonathanwelke It’s an awesome bike, you won’t be disappointed. I’ll be putting a new video up this weekend of me just ripping around on it, but when it finally warms up I’ll get a lot more out there. Any questions you have, ask away!

Yeah, but really, I only go out a few times in the winter. It’s great on the hard pack snow, not so much on the ice. And it definitely has more power and speed than the 4Runner. My wife has the Rover and my old man used to have the Mini and they don’t even come close to the power of the Blade 2. Love this bike!!

@@megadavesworld4238 yeah it’s a gas guzzler, I live on Vancouver island so luckily we don’t get much ice so I’ve been looking at some e-bikes to ditch the gas guzzler and save me some money

@@megadavesworld4238 also how tall are you? Would this bike be good for someone 6’1?

Ok

Thank you.

Thank you. I wasn’t paid for this though. I was making a video for them to display on their web page just simply because I enjoy making videos. However, they really liked it and hooked me up with a sweet deal after the fact.

True story. Completely flubbed this one up! Should have use sequential and tandem instead. I don’t want people to think you scan actually run your batteries in series and get 104 volts out of them.

I haven’t heard of this issue yet. I’m asking one of the Facebook groups I’m in (Rize Bikes Owners Group) to see if any one has had the issue. I asked 3 hours ago and nothing yet. I’ll keep you posted. Try emailing Rize and see what they say, as well.

I’m Thinking of getting a pair

@@kadewilliams5509 I’ve never ridden this bike with street tires, but if I did, I’d highly recommend the Vee Tire E-Huntsman tires. They are much thicker and grip the road really well. The cost a bit more but will last a lot longer than the factory e-bike tires. They’ll also make your bike slightly faster because they are taller than the knobby tires. You’ll also be able to still have some off road capability if you need it.

Thanks man. Yeah, it’s a struggle to get subscribers, maybe because I can’t post as often as I’d like to. Oh well, not a biggie. I will be doing a review on this bike once I get mine and I can put it through some real tests. This one I just borrowed but I was really impressed by the quality and the power. I’m expecting it to come in in a few weeks.

@@megadavesworld4238 You’ve got some amazing trails and paths to ride on. Whereabouts do you live?

@@idesofmars I live in Calgary AB. All the shots in this video are within 4 km of my house, but Alberta in general has some amazing trails. My fav so far is in Redcliff AB, the have some crazy trails to ride.

@@megadavesworld4238 wow very lucky. Great province to live in too

Im so glad you mentioned that! In the settings, you can set it to any max speed you want, down to 14kph I believe. The new updated version coming out this September will be set at 500 watts max and 32 kph stock. Then if you want more, you dive into the menus and unlock it for 3600 watt peak (off road use only😉)! I’m on the wrong side of 200lbs, but the max speed doesn’t change between me or my boy 140lbs. If you weighed 300lbs, I still think it would do 60kph. Battery just wouldn’t last as long.

Besides the power, the display was what stood out the most to me. And when I tested it , I found it to be very accurate with speed and battery %.

I just re watched the vid after you made that comment. I should have taken video with my good camera to show what the screen is doing while riding. I might do that soon. That display is awesome and deserves to be highlighted!

I’m not sure I understand your question, or if it’s a joke. The seat height is 34” high and I would say a minimum rider height would be about 5’4. I’m 5’8 and the owner is probably about 6’2 and he’s very comfortable on this bike. The only bike they make right now is the KS Stallion.

Well, you're not wrong. They are directly competing with the Aerial Rider Grizzly. The KS Stallions frame is more streamlined with the A battery integrated into the frame instead of sitting on top -the battery is 12.5% bigger -much better brakes -faster top speed (owners claim the same top speed, but I tested it on flat ground and got it to 61 kph on my GPS, no pedalling) -higher grade tires -comes stock with the passenger seat and rear rack (not shown), Aerial charges you extra for these -$600 cheaper than the Grizzly. Best of all, it's a Canadian company🇨🇦!

Yeah, I still love my Blade 2, but the tech and features on this bike are far superior. The Blade 3 (if there will be one, idk) needs to come out quick because the Blade 2 is falling way behind in technology and features. I don’t know how they could sell it for another year. It’s hard to tell in the video, but that headlight has to be at least 4x as bright as the Blades. I want to get one, it’s so good!

@@megadavesworld4238 Tbh i found it very easy to tell how bright the headlight was. Extremely brighter and more full if that makes sense. Yeah, makes me wish i would've waited til this year. The reason i went with the Blade 2 was because at the time Rize was the only company offering higher watt motors that shipped from Canada. Makes me kinda sad knowing this bike is now here. ;-; Emmo also has a duel motor bike which is neat. (duel 750watt) but it's a non fat tire bike so the acceleration is probly crazy. They have some sweet looking motorbike style ebikes.

When does Rize usually release their new models? Have they been releasing new models every year or two years? Also wondering what time.of year they usually come out - ie summer, fall etc? Hopefully a Blade 3 is just around the corner.

@@rookie90210 The OG Blade 500 watt came out in like June 2020, and the OG 1000 watt came out at the end of August that year. I first heard of the Blade 2 in about February of 2021, pre orders were in May 2021, and I finally got the bike at the end of October 2021. That was a brutal 6 month wait. As for a Blade 3, I’ve heard absolutely nothing about it. I haven’t even heard of any new Rize models coming up. Rize use to call me every now and then, but I haven’t heard from them in about a year and a half. I still love my Blade 2 because of its off-roading capabilities, but this new KS Stallion is FAAAAARRRRR ahead in technology and higher end components. I want it as my street cruiser.

@@rookie90210 Usually in the summer months.

It is definitely more of a cruiser for sure. It can definitely go off road but the Blade is better at it because of the riding position. Maybe if there were some lower handle bars on the Stallion? The owners told me an upgraded version is coming out in September that has some goodies. Like some kind of slap guard for the chain, upgraded main screen, and some extra options in the menu (there’s already so many, in a good way). Another thing is the bike will be delivered with only 500 watts max output, until you change it in the menu to max power (3600 watts peak) to keep it “legal”. Max power for off road use only 🤣 It’s available all across Canada, and soon it will be available in the States, too.

Compared to the Blade 2, it’s faster, climbs paved hills waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy better/faster, much better display, and it feels more planted when going at hi speeds. Any questions you got about it, ask away. I’ve learned a lot about it as I had it for 2 weeks.

Thanks Dave ,hope you get rid of that gout . @@megadavesworld4238

I remember this issue came up about a year ago, and Rize responded that it is in fact a 1000 watt motor and they were able to prove it. Problem is … I can’t remember how🤔

The Rize 1000w Bafang G062 is indeed 1000w and can handle plenty more power... I'm running 2600w 48amps with cool motor temps

Not this display. Rize does sell an upgrade display that has a lot more info. I wish that Rize would just include the new displays though. This display has been on the bike for the last 4-5 years and it is in need of some upgrading.

No, there are 2 new Blades. This one is discontinued.
