Ariel Riders are such awesome e-bikes. Some of the lowest prices with the most power e-bikes out there. NO, e-bike should even bother coming on the market in volts less than 52. Anything less is a waste of money. I mean the Super-73 RX is 48v out of the box. And only hits 30 mph or so. And cost almost $2000 more. Unbelievable. I was able to get 38 mph on my x-class before I modified it with NB Power 5000 watt set up.
Nobody actually needs 52v but like the extra power.
what battery did you use?
If you want to go over 30, buy a gas motorcycle and/or register your e-motorcycle. 48v is fine.
@@Trillville43 I live in a very hilly city . And a 48v anything will not cut it, believe me I've tried multiple styles of e-bikes in the 48v range. None could pull the hills. Only 52v and above. We don't all live in the flat lands.
@@uhsleep_cr6155 72v 25 AH molicel battery. 270A discharge. With a continuous current of 150A. I get less battery degradation over time.
I've ridden a lot of Ebikes and owned 5 different ones. I've had my X-class for over a year now. Recently bought a Spark Cycleworks Bandit which I love, but for the money the X-Class is the better bike. I have a couple friends who prefer my X-Class to my Bandit. It's a tough call for me. I've done a lot of mods to my X-Class over the year. I'm now running Shinko 244's, 450 pound rear spring, 7 inch stem riser, custom JB seat, swept back handle bars with custom grips, 60 tooth chain sprocket, and the new Jack Cecil controller and display, so mine is pretty modded out. I turned a friend on to them. She has four different ebikes and her X-Class is her favorite.
Yeah it’s hard comparing once you have done so many modifications to a bike. I prefer the spark bandit because the power and the space you have with the long seat. But I love my super73 rx overall because it has so many mods that make it that much better
Have mine for over 3 years now real solid bike.
AR X-Class 52v is an excellent e-bike, ample power, lots of torque, feels solid, good for shorter riders, especially step-thru model, can ride 2 people. Display is adequate but display on Kepler would've been nice on the X-class. The fenders are inadequate. You WILL get water/mud on your butt/back if you ride over water/mud. Wish AR would replace fenders with sufficient coverage. Pedaling X-class is a bit awkward but glad the gears/shifter/derailleur are included anyway. BMX handlebars are sweet. Seat is not comfortable for long rides. Ride1Up Revv 1 seat much better/comfortable. X-class is great but not so great for pedaling, better for throttle only like Revv 1. If you like AR and want to pedal, you will get same power with Kepler, which is an excellent e-bike, bigger and best value.
If you want to pedal you should go mid range. These bikes especially at these weights and sizes should really only be throttle only.
I bought an AR Kepler in May and bought an X Class 52V last week and was pleased to find that shipping insurance is now included in the price... 👍🤗
Hey bro great video. I have this red one but the step over version. Pro tip, if you feel cramped in that seating position, you can move the seat back to either of those other 2 holes. You'll only be able to use 2 screws instead of 4, but I've been riding this way over a year with zero issues.
i wonder if that would be a safety issue tho
@@MrCentralDriver it's all good bro. I'm 6'1" 250lbs and it's on there tight. I also put on some shorter crank arms so that my knees aren't up in my chest.
Been waiting on this one. Great and fair review. Was hoping I wouldn't regret getting the x-class over the rev1 but I love the x class power, torque and having the shifter. Looking forward to your commute review
1000w motor doesn't peak at 2000w, usually 1200w -1400w peak.
I just got mine today it's on sale 1,699 came clean out the box no scratches O bent spokes fucking beautiful bike took les then and hour to assemble I'm charging the battery for 12 hours will test ride it tomorrow
awesome!
How do you like it? Pros and cons? Thinking of getting one too!
@@FutureDoctahe’s dead
@@Kentarius 🤣🤣🤣 jeez that got dark real quick
I just got mine yesterday I’m 252 pounds and a pull me really really good I’m very very well satisfied I’m looking to have a lot of fun on this. In the meanwhile I’ll be losing some weight paddling.😎😎😎
I have the x class and I love it so much. It’s easily one of the best moped style e-bikes out there. Ariel Rider might’ve been one of the first competitors to Super 73 and not just a copy cat of 73 bikes. Only negative is the uncomfortable seat so upgrading the seat is a must
Do you have any seat upgrade recommendations?
Sauls Upholstery. Google them. Fantastic customer service and quality seats.
Not only is it still good, it's on sale right now for $1900. And there's so many videos of people modding theirs to go 50mph+
Only $1700 right now
The rear suspension is adjustable. It's an air shock that you can adjust with a shock pump through the little silver nipple near the top.
There’s no rebound or compression settings or any lockout like the revv1
There is a rebound adjustment, but you're right about not having a lockout which would be a great feature to have.
My Hats ff To You Sir. Many Reviewers As Well As Manufacturers Websites Don't Mention "Max Rider Weight". Thank You For Being Truly Informative. Signed - A Man Of Size
I have a x2, 2x2, 52v Grizzly, with about a year and 750 miles on it. I'm old and ride it 90% USFS dirt roads jogging my dog @ 10-15mph in cool weather. Its unlocked....The problem is, reliability. Will it run in a year? Can you trust it to get you 10 miles to work w/o a breakdown? Top speed doesn't matter much when you have to walk it back home. Then, who will work on it? Theres nobody. A $3000+ lawn ornament!
My controllers shorted out crammed too tite in too small a place, and caught fire, under my seat, between my legs, while riding gently uphill in June. So all summer with no e--bike.I shoulda bought another Japaese gas motorscooter.
The owner of ride1up said The Gen 2 revv1 comes with a 35 amp controller and a boost mode.. find a gen2 and race it on the x-class. That would make for some excellent content
I feel like your channel exists to stop me from buying e-Bikes. Thanks for looking out. Haha
i do value your honest opinion . i’m not the biggest fan of the design on these bikes but i do love the peformance
Same. I do love the paint more than I thought
@@MrCentralDriver I haven’t seen one in person yet I’ll haft to check them out .
Absolutely love my xclass step through
it's pretty dope! my favorite ariel rider bike so far
I don't get why they say it peaks at 2000 watts when 52x33 = just over 1700. Even if it was a 35 amp controller that's still just over 1800. Lots of rounding up, unfortunately.
That's the constant watts not the peak which is 58x33
33 amps is nominal, not peak. I have the upgraded display in my bike and it regularly peaks at or slightly above 2k.
The person doing this video review is wrong about the rear suspension, it is fully adjustable there's two rings on top of shock housing to tighten or loosen the compression and rebound stroke. Also the top cover w/ screw on the left side of the front shock is removable to allow a air shock pump to attach to the Schrader valve adding air to shock. If you read the owners manual you'll see this. Obviously he didn't read the owners manual.
Scratch this comment, I was wrong about the suspension. The one I was referring to has been modified.
New rev1 or this? The price makes me want to lean towards this one but the rev looks so much better in my opinion 😂
why is there a password? did the company make that so ppl wouldn't find it out at first. like by doing this is it illegal bc it seems weird how they would make a password for it. someone pls answer.
Geez I guess I’ll have to buy 2. My old ones wore out after 10 years and my wife wants one too.
I got the straight bar red the handle bars are not BMX but the riser stem lets you raise the bars way up there so I won't need to BMX bars shipping was hella fast
Love my Step Thru
next version they release should definitely be a 60v maybe with a 40amp controller
If they did a 60v bike they would be killing it. Not many 60v bikes available.
Thanks for getting back man. It looks like the Revv 1 is out since the battery wont last much longer than 20 miles on full throttle. I need something with more juice that can last at least 30 to 35 miles on full throttle at around 25 to 30 mph.
Do you think the Ariel Rider X-Class 52V is a better option and has the high speed and duration I need?
If your forks r bottoming with u just leaning on them there is something wrong with them. I’m 200 lbs and ride off road a lot with moderate jumping, whoops and just general rough offroad and I’ve never bottomed the fork. I upgraded the rear shock as the stock on is pretty much garbage but the front forks are excellent for a stock bike.
you can see there is not much travel in the front
@@MrCentralDriver it’s kinda hard to tell for sure in the video but it looks like the forks aren’t reaching full travel when u lean on it. After watching the video I put my entire weight on my bars to see if I could bottom mine out and I can just barely cause them to touch the stop with me standing over the front tire and jumping down onto the bars while pressing as hard as I can. I have been genuinely impressed with the front fork. They actually feel pretty progressive, wish nice chop absorption while still retaining solid big hit compression.
Love your reviews you do an excellent job thank you for all the hard you put in the channel I have watched all your videos
14:06 as a note, sure 3 months late, but checking the Ariel Rider faq on this bike, they do say that the back shock is adjustable. Maybe adjusting the preload on the spring, rather than the he damper on the shock?
I know there are custom aftermarket seats but they usually cost $200 On aliexpress I see several nice looking seats in the $35-$70 range that I wonder could be made to fit?
I dunno. Might need your own custom bolt holes at the bottom that you would have to modify.
THANK YOU FOR THE GOOD VIDEO MRCENTRALDRIVER..
AN OTHER GOOD ONE FOR US TO ENJOY.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
⚡🤙🏼🤙🏼⚡
*Such a nice lookin step-through*
The rear shock has two forms of adjustment and thats air or the collar so I dont know why he said it didn't.
If I had to do it over again - I'd get the step through - but other than that - mostly happy with this badass bike - seat does suck, though...
What's wrong with the seat? I'm considering this bike so just wondering. Do you find it comfortable for pedaling?
@@d-saved1329 pedaling is not great on this bike, but you won't care...The seat looks great but it's not comfortable at all - I keep meaning to go on fleabay and get aftermarket one
Your the best brow keep on keep on sharing your heart bro
I love my new Ariel. Love love love it. However, a little disappointed in battery. Only got 20 miles after then1st charge. Hope it gets better. Otherwise I'm very happy.
I had the same problem too. If you need to go a distance, keep the speed at around 28-30'ish and don't ride the accelerator. You won't get there as fast, but your distance will be extended. My last trip was about 33 miles with some power left over. Hope this helps.
How much do you weigh? I weigh 254 and I just bought one.
Thanks for the video. Do you mind letting me know what the tire diameter is? It's listed as 20x4 but is it actually taller than that?
Great video Johnathon hope I spelled your name rite 👍
Id drayhet have the 2wheel drive for hills
you must not look to hard wired freedom 60 v 20 amp 40 mph ,1,900 the xclass i have is 52v early model i paid 1,600 and it great and goes 30 mph so you gain 5 mph for about 600.00 more not so great a deal to me but the wired freedom is much better and chaeper its more like a bike but going 40 mph you feel safe .but now they have euy s4 48v 25 amp 96 m torque 30 mph 1,300 not as many bells like turn signals but its 1000 watt motor so way better deal over all unless you want turn signals and 5 mph more but you gotta spend 1000 more again not worth it to me but riders like what they like ariel rider used to be one of the best deals but not so much anymore there are more and more bikes coming out much cheaper .i love my xclass quality is average pretty good but after you pay 1,600 for a bike that is almost as good as the new ones but alittle over priced to me thanks for the reply and the video thanks
any word on a new Ariel Rider bike? They keep going on "FLASH SALE". Definitely seems like somethings coming. Anything you can share?
I thought maybe yellow was a color they had. Maybe only in high step you can get yellow.
They are nice bikes ...I have a super 73 but I want an x class ....you can make them great looking too like a 73 rx.....but I also want a zooz 😂
I am looking to get an e-bike that would double as a cruiser on the road and go off-road for some hunting purpose (mainly on atv trails), would the Kepler or X-Class be a better choice for that?
probably the kepler! my link works for both if you could use it before purchasing Id appreciate it!
How do you get to unlocked mode
Can the speed be limited for a 15 year old?
Can it go trails and snow?
I was about to get this bike but the spoke wheels and no voltage reading held me back..I'll wait and see if they'll be coming out with a second version of the revv 1..
Most likely no voltage reading coming unless they changed there controller setup with a display that reads that info. There is a second version of the revv1. It’s 35amps now with a boost feature.
@@MrCentralDriver wait is that new revv 1 available for purchase??😳
NOT A BIG FAN, NOT A BIG FAN OF THE BELL, NOT A BIG FAN OF THE BELL 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥
I'm thinking about getting this or the juiced scrambler x2 but ariel x class is more powerful but I just like the design and style of the scrambler x2.
I haven’t rode a juiced bike Yet so I couldn’t help ya. Best to just watch every review possible
I love your opinion bro your awesome brother
Good review, just looking to see what’s the GPS app you use on your phone?
Speedometer on iOS
Can u switch to full throttle
What is it like to actually pedal the bike? The seat looks a little wide to be comfortable pedaling.
feels fine to me
@MrCentralDriver I've been going back and forth on whether to get this or the Freego f2 pro for my first E-Bike for city commuting. What would you recommend?
I like this over the freego
do you ask for the bmx handlebars? because i think they usually come with the mountain bike lower handlebars. .... I have a similar bike that i updated to BMX bars. way better for me that way
the non step thru comes with different bars. the step thru model comes with bmx bars from factory
Is that a standard size head tube so the front fork can be upgraded? The rear shock spring easily replaced with one with a lower spring rate?
The front fork is custom, I’ve yet to find a replacement that would fit - the rear shock is easily replaced by any 190mm DNM shock should fit in the rear (retain the stock bushings, I’ve heard)
Great e-bike. My battery died at two years and under 900 miles.
That sounds pretty crappy if it only lasted 900 Miles
I BOUGHT ONE PAID 2300 DOLLARS FOR IT NOW THEY SELL FOR 1600. BATTERIES ARE BIG PROBLEMS SELL FOR OVER 600. TWO TIRE PER YEAR NOT FLAT PROOF
So is that why they went down in price? It’s weird that their price dropped so drastically.
id pay 1,800 otherwise its overpriced many cheaper bikes to consider
U get what u pay for with the xclass. I have yet to see a cheaper alternative that matches it for actual value.
Wired freedom is 60v and in the same price range.
@@gulfcoaster210the bandit is 1999 rn 40mph dual motor !
@@phatshiet yes, and it is a nice bike and probably the only one that competes with the xclass for actual value. However, the build quality and components are a lot cheaper in general. The power is what makes the freedom appealing but it definitely cuts some corners to achieve the price point.
@@obeii1805 vice nice looking bike and I was considering it over the xclass when I ordered mine but I couldn’t get a solid delivery window since it is currently in preorder.
Hey bro you have awesome price points make your garage look more like a showroom and your company will be a amazing at how awesome how much you work bro u have a dedicated heart
Yeah bro I agree bro
This brand is terrible I bought a Ariel rider and it started to give out on me. I emailed the company and they told me to send in a charger first but I have to pay out of pocket and if the charger isn’t the problem I would have to ship the battery separate and pay that out of pocket and hood that isn’t the issue I have to ship the bike itself to the company! They want me to ship each item separately so u have to pay more shipping and don’t provide you with a shipping label so you have to pay out of pocket!
I have a Revv1.Two days after it arrived I received a new chain in the mail with a tool. Do you know why? Thanks!
stock chain is to short and tight. also it blocks the peg location
Hey Jonathan I bought a Segway ninebot max a few months ago how can I get it to go faster than 19 mph any information would be appreciated
Only goes 18 gps I have one
How did you originally start buying E-bikes? Did you save up, or take a loan for them?
Took a loan for my first one.
@@MrCentralDriver Thanks, due to your videos, and a couple of other people, I wanted to get one myself.
They're nowhere near cheap, though. Especially, not the good ones. 😂
y’all got any recommendations for the best types of bike tire to get for the x class?
cst scout tires or veetires are good. id go motorcycle tires 110/60/16
@@MrCentralDrivermotorcycle tires don’t weigh the bike down more?
@@rodolfocastro166They do depending on the type you can add about 8lbs more per tire so pretty significant.
All your problems with the throttle gripe would have been solved by gloves, which you should wear for safety. THEN YOU COULD SAY THE GRIPE IS GREAT, NO CHANCE OF IT SLIPPING. PS I'm Australian and have no dog in this fight ( no financial interest whatsoever.)
i made a second video on this bike with gloves and mentioned this.
اريد واحد من هذا العراق كيف ان اشتري
I doubt this is a class x. Try the Escapade Rampage. Thats a class x.
💯‼️💙
90 dollars for a basket??
Loud is the Talaria with its Zzzzz zzzz zzzzzz sound. I'll take the tire sound over that z sound any day.
That Xclass motor is loud..
Yeah, could be the mic or something but it sounds louder than my xclass step thru.
It's because it has metal casing on the gears. I rode my friends X-class and it's not that bad.
@@spunkushthe bike in this video seems a bit louder than my bike….. but I think it may be down to the bike being brand new. Mine got a little quieter with a few miles on it.
@@spunkush makes sense
What kind of handlebars on there?
stock
@@MrCentralDriver thanks, the website shows otherwise. I like the mx bars you have.
The step thru has different handle bars. I wish all their bikes used these bars. I dont like the Grizzly handlebars either. They look cramped and nowhere to put anything like your phone, etc
Ariel X Class vs Zooz UU1100 ?
x class
Letss gooo
let go!
You have gardeners?
How does a healthy grown azz man have gardners? That explains why you have sensitive girl hands.
You gave the impression that the test video was its first run, but when showing your break test, you mentioned the skid marks from a couple days prior. Sorry my brain always thinks like that. lol
Anyways, COOL video review Sir!
The amount of money we have to pay for an ebike, makes reviews very valuable!! 👍
i work 60hrs a week between both jobs.
the tire marks are from a previous product i tested before this one.
and yes watch all the youtube videos you can before buying a product because they are expensive
@@MrCentralDriver
Yoo Holy Cow!
I honestly didn't expect a reply!
The tire skids, I was chuckling about when typing that!
I can honestly understand the gardeners then! 🤣 (chuckling in slight embarrassment)
My last 4 years of work, I was at 80 to 110 hours a week. On top of that, I had to try and take care of all the yard work, plus spend time with the wifey and kids.
If you can afford having gardners to make your life easier, Kool Beans! 🤗
Plus, if your having gardners, that means you take pride in your plant/landscape.
I will still give you a hard time for having a gardner! lol
Subscribed! 😁
Less than 2 grand now.
Tellite
Seems weak, slow, and expensive relative to the 60v bikes now available.
For 2095 it’s hands down best in this price range for a moped style ebike.
@MrCentralDriver I just purchased one yesterday on sale $1899.99!😌
why is there a password? did the company make that so ppl wouldn't find it out at first. like by doing this is it illegal bc it seems weird how they would make a password for it. someone pls answer.
