Oh man, this looks like such a great ride! I was lucky enough to grab a 21ah battery in this last shipment. I live in NYC so of course I don’t have quite the same freedom of hills and valleys, but I’m looking forward to putting the range to the test. I’m 145lbs so hopefully I get a good long ride out of it. Thanks for the video. 👍🏽😃
@@Evilryu4005 so, I would actually stay away from the zugo. Its pretty much the 2019 version of the d class minus the motor. These had issues with the battery bouncing and bending pins. The 2020 battery looks completely different and has better water proofing and bounce protection. I'll be making a video soon and you'll be able to see the bike better.
Colorado?!?! I was born in the Denver area. Moved when I was super young in the late 80s. Don’t remember anything about Colorado. I have not been back since.
When you are pedaling at high speeds is it just for show? the high gears aren't very high for me and its useless to pedal past 15 miles an hour. That and no rear suspension are the only issues I have with this wonderful bike.
Pedaling stops at around 24 mph for me. I pedal all the time because it makes me feel super human. I'll only use throttle uphill, on starts, and when I feel lazy. But I love passing cars while pedaling, you get the best looks
Then something is wrong with my gearing. After 15 mph pedaling for me is like pushing against air. I had to fix the derailer to get into 7th and that helped a bit. I’ll keep looking. Thanks for the reply. And dude. I love ur vids. Simple and some beautiful paths. Pedaling also lowers cops suspicion in regards to class types.
@@arrider5774 last question. After I do the 1919 speed adjust up to 45 my bike still sticks to 33. Is there another step to it or does my 200 lbs slow it down?
@@dirkaminimo4836 when my bike was shipped my derailleur guard was bent and it wasn't going into 7th. I bent it back and watched a youtube vid on how to readjust it. Super easy, 20 min
@@dirkaminimo4836 yea weight will do that. But I think 33-35 mph is the most you can get without changing electrical components. My buddy that rides with me is heavier than I am and I notice I accelerate faster and I'm like 1.5 mph faster than him
Yea it was SUPER windy. I spent the whole time editing, adjusting the volume. Honestly shouldn't have been out with all the smoke and wind but I just wanted to go out and ride. Thanks for checking out the video
AR Rider I’m loving my bike. Went out yesterday for a long ride yesterday and got 30 miles on my 18ah. That was a combo of rear motor, dual, and pedal assist. Great bike! Totally agree about anything that allows you to ride longer.
It's a gopro 8. I film at 1080p 60fps and use the widest FOV. Thanks for taking notice. I also use a chest mount instead of head mount because, IMO, it makes viewers less motion sick.
So ariel rider just told me that they will restock the 21ah batteries for the D and sell them for 650 plus shipping. I'm torn because I want the grizzly but it's $600 more than the D after taxes, plus I'd need to spend the $90 on the longer seat because I'm tall. So idk if the rear suspension and the dual 1000w batteries is worth the initial price. I'd only be riding 15miles round trip regularly, and I can eventually save up and get a spare battery for the D and have more range than a grizzly for when I take longer trips. What's your thoughts on this?
If you buy 1 21ah battery you'll have more range than the grizzly. It really all comes down to if you need that rear suspension. I found that my riding style doesn't benefit from having the rear suspension. I can stand on the pedals and have a nice commanding stance. I try to grab a battery any chance I get. Also, no real difference between 48 and 52v when you have 2 motors. No suspension in the back is going to feel sporty because the suspension on grizzly is just "ok"
Double the acceleration is nice. Climbing the gravel trails in the mountains is nice. Great for super soft terrain like sand. Also, sharing the load increases longevity in the motors.
I just received my D-Class and was going thru the settings. The wheel size was defaulted to 24. Should I change it to 20? And when I do change if to 20, will that mess up the mph readings? Thanks
I would use GPS. I switched to 20 in wheel size and was getting funky stuttering. Messaged AR and they asked me to switch back and I didn't have the issue anymore.
Everything is stock on this bike. Its max assisted speed is 35mph. Anytime you see me doing more than that it's because I'm going down hill. The bike feels so stable at 40 though.
When I get my Ariel Rider D Class we will have to go riding Bro cause I live in Colorado Springs! They only have the 18ah Battery on their Web Site so what's up with the 21ah Battery & how do I get the stronger Battery Bro?
@@eastfam9516 haha I'm actually trying to trying to mount it to the frame. My buddy who I ride with had gotten a replacement battery rack so I took his old one and I'm going to mount it where the cup holder is and run dual batteries
I got it from the ariel rider website. Bought it b4 I got the bike. So I would have it for my bike. They sold out in 2 hours. If you're not already, I'd join their fb group. They let people know when stuff drops there
@@BikerForJustice so when the site had them available, that wasn't on the web page and there was this big confusion with people getting their bikes. I had paid for the bike and bought the battery when it was available but I didn't receive my bike yet. They had emailed me saying the battery I ordered wasn't compatible but instead of just refunding me the money, I think they special ordered new versions for the people who ordered in that batch. For future I think it'll say which one is available.

Yea you'll realize that you have tons of extra range and nowhere to go. Id suggest a second charger btw
AR Rider ~ A.R. doesn’t have any chargers on their website. Where else can a get one compatible other than Alibaba? Thanks again

Great video man that looks so much fun. If I can't get onyx rcr than I'll the ariel rider or the hyperscorpion
Those are all good choices. Check out the x class as well. Will give you most bang for your buck. Also, its a cafe racer style.
@@arrider5774 yeah even zugo is a great option as well. I'm going to see if I could get the onyx rcr on cyber Monday

Colorado?!?!
I was born in the Denver area. Moved when I was super young in the late 80s.
Don’t remember anything about Colorado.
I have not been back since.
Its really nice in the springs.
@@arrider5774 dump question but how do you know if it's the new model or not? I ask cause I ordered mine in August 8 and just got it today.
@@heeroyuy5520 you got the newer model. The spring 2020 models were b4 mine.
@@arrider5774 thanks
I"m still waiting for batteries to be restocked. Totally could use an extra one.
Yea, the battery is a life saver. I share it with my buddy and between 3 batteries we can ride across town and back.
What voltage was the battery 48v or was it 52v

Nice video. I appreciate testing the 21Ah. You’ve got a lot of wind noise with the mic. Looking forward to more tests. Rear vs front range tests etc.

@@doc5795 yea with the 18ah i was getting around that on trails with a mix also. You don't need to keep it in dual, but it's really fun to.
Your video is super sharp and clear. What are you using for a camera ❓
It's a gopro 8. I film at 1080p 60fps and use the widest FOV. Thanks for taking notice. I also use a chest mount instead of head mount because, IMO, it makes viewers less motion sick.
@@arrider5774 I like the view angle better from chest too
is it? even at 1080p60 it looks like a fried jpeg to me... youtube compression really sucks for fast moving stuff.
I used to do laps on my road bike there at garden of the gods
I really like it. Roads are well maintained there

On flat ground and up to speed, running one motor makes sense. Is there any advantage to running the front motor?
Double the acceleration is nice. Climbing the gravel trails in the mountains is nice. Great for super soft terrain like sand. Also, sharing the load increases longevity in the motors.

AR Rider ~ Thank you for all of the information.
Dam! how many volts you running? Looks like you're doing close to 40mph
Everything is stock on this bike. Its max assisted speed is 35mph. Anytime you see me doing more than that it's because I'm going down hill. The bike feels so stable at 40 though.

They will start selling the 21 ah battery in july
How many miles full throttle with your bike ?
Probably 20 miles with no pedaling.
Is that a thumb throttle
Twist
@@arrider5774 left or right hand. I thought the AR had a left hand thumb throttle. Looking to buy one very soon.
@@vtam2066 right hand half twist.
@@arrider5774 thanks. That helps a lot.
What kind of cell phone mount is that?
I got this one! www.amazon.com/dp/B06Y1X3JD3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Where you get the battery from!?
I got super lucky and got a battery from AR directly. But they have since been sold out :-/
Dang that is lucky! If you sell it, let me know lol
@@eastfam9516 haha I'm actually trying to trying to mount it to the frame. My buddy who I ride with had gotten a replacement battery rack so I took his old one and I'm going to mount it where the cup holder is and run dual batteries

I got it from the ariel rider website. Bought it b4 I got the bike. So I would have it for my bike. They sold out in 2 hours. If you're not already, I'd join their fb group. They let people know when stuff drops there
On Ariel website it claims battery not compatible with newer d class ?
What model year is yours ?

Yes! Class 2 out of the box.
Wind noise is horrible you need a better mic thanks for the video
This issue was fixed in my later videos. This one is just really popular
what part of usa is that
Its Colorado
@@arrider5774 awesome scenery didn’t think it looked like that there
@@syntheticsoundtracks it is so beautiful here! I moved from the northeast and its wayyy better here.
ARs look childish
And yet nothing about a bike with all wheel drive/dual motors which goes 30mph easy sounds childish. Despite however childish you think it looks.
@@tamotihsar7854 i agree. Still the design is wack
