I got my D-Class about a week ago and it's the best purchase I have EVER made as an adult! Life changer and there is nothing like blazing down the streets outrunning cars off the line! So damn fun, I get an adrenaline rush every morning
An Evolving Ape . You could def fit and the bike could handle it, but it would be uncomfortable for long distance. Really depends, I take my 6 year old for long distances, she sits in front of me, combined weight probably 280. I have had 2 adults on it several times, but it’s tight! I’ve seen weight over 400lbs on it, kind of humorous, was worried about the back tire, 2 plus sized gals :) I wouldn’t hesitate to buy this bike. Although I hear they are upgrading it in August, may want to wait a bit.
I like the idea of all wheel drive but it looks like there would be hardly any weight on the front wheel, meaning it can only transmit a fraction of the torque that motor can produce before the wheel slips, which is indeed what the reviewer describes. It seems like a smaller motor up front might be more practical. Or a big shopping basket on the handlebars with some rocks in it haha.
I enjoy your videos even though 1) I live in the UK so a lot of the bikes you review aren't available 2) I have no plans to buy an ebike! I like the simplicity of a push bike, though I see the benefits of an ebike for people who perhaps aren't super fit or who want to commute on a bike without getting to work sweaty. I love good design, and modern ebikes seem to be evolving so fast it is really intriguing to see the latest models. For me they seem a great alternative to a car if you don't live too far away from your place of work; zip through the traffic with minimum effort, and you don't have to struggle to find a parking space!👍
This video was the very first Ariel bike video I watched (I checked my history to make sure!), I just want to thank you for putting out this video, I recently pushed the button on the 52V X-Class, now it's a waiting game. I can't wait to get back into riding again :)
I agree and I had a Juiced Hyperscorpion earlier and just got my X-Class. This bike is faster than hyperscorpion and has better features and cost less. Besides I can say Ariel have much better customer service compared to Juiced Bikes. I waited over 2 months for a replacement controller from Juiced Bikes.
You can take many precautions to prevent that. Only lock it up in plain view, preferably in an area with a lot of cameras. Use a good D-lock + cable lock combination. Two locks is always better than one. Next get a bike alarm they can be had for about $20 on Amazon and can be easily secured under the seat. If your bike is so much as nudged it will activate an alarm sequence if they don't back off. As a last form of defense you can install a GPS or Apple Tile for GPS tracking.
@@kijahowen2n464 just found out my renters insurance Lemonade doesn’t cover ebikes with a throttle. They consider them motor vehicles. Apparently many insurers do.
Dudeee I got the same exact helmet !! I just placed my order on my d class a few days ago. I've had my f15 rz from bpm imports for about 2 years now and I got tired of it this is a huge upgrade for me
Any Aussies watching this in 2022, do a search for Amped Bros, ACE-X models are based on the same frame with many other similarities, 7-speed, tyres, dual-motor, bottle holder, taillight, reflectors, throttle, if this is what you want, you can have it now in Australia.
Can you guys do a video about the super 73, and let everybody know what a piece of junk it is. Breaking my heart to see all these RUclips videos people paying $3,500. The company is literally selling $3,500 bikes that they know have defective Motors and controllers. And people keep buying them cuz they're pretty looking bikes and nobody knows all the problems they have until the only one.
It's the nylon gears in their motors, basically it allows the motor to blow up. Also, there's a theory about Lenz Law that might explain why super 73s make that pos rattling sound
Depends where you are in the world, the Global versions of Super73 do have the Shimano 10 speed, at least in Australia benbucklerboards.com.au/collections/super73
My first look at Ariel bikes, the seat looks great, probably suit taller riders, frame very solid at the rear, dual motors another advantage over Super73, cost is reasonable, much lower than Super73, I need to research this more! I do prefer the smoother street tires on the Super73, and they are fatter on next model as well. Any Australian owners around?
I own one X-Class. I love the bike, it takes all of the work out of the hills. It looks really neat and I've had many people already comment on it. The quality appears to be very good. It's a very solid machine.
A lot of issues down the road of most DIY Dual AWD. I can go on but too many to cover it go over. I did the math ➗ of certain set ups as I came up one on my own based on being practical, energy efficient, total weight of handling stress of frame and tires. I didn't make an AWD Dual motor build. Instead I took my 350watt GEAR ⚙️ and put a Turbo Boost Mode application to go over 32 mph non stop ,20 miles range pulling 150. 2000watt Gearless DD Turbo Booster. The add ons were only the throttle handle, motor and battery connectors having no extra CLUTTER MESS. I read total mph off my 350watt so no my eyes mainly on road in front of me. Total weight is 80.lbs. Using a Turbo Booster cut my energy outage by 40(% as power from both motors counter act it's others point of acceleration on my 350 Cruise Control which levels off to read 0 of 2nd motor takes over of having no heavy bearing torque off the start off point.
It also needs strong front and rear racks for 2.5 gallon gas cans or multiple gallons of milk, a rear suspension, and a reflective Ariel emblem on the back of the seat.
If pure speed is the goal then that's great. But this ebike is twice as powerful because it is dual motor combined with a more powerful battery so going up hill you can probably do full throttle and riding through heavier offroad terrain will be easier. The battery also has more wattage hours. You also have suspension and the option of being able to ride with additional riders.
@@VROOOMIN I've seen a few reviews stating that you do slow down a bit with an additional rider, especially if it's an adult, but the reviewer in the link I'm sharing states that he rode for a few miles with his wife or girlfriend and that on flat terrain he barely noticed any difference in power. I'm also assuming that's with the understanding that the battery has more than 50% charge.. ruclips.net/video/Ch4Q9flPgzk/видео.html
Why does no one do a review of this thing on mountainous terrain or at least trails . That is the only thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on this . Hell my wifes City bike does everything you did in this video . If I ever see a vid of it doing at least decent on trails I'll buy it but until then ..................I do have to say your reviews are so much better than that clown from ebr , thanks for that .
It doesn't have rear suspension, so I wouldn't take mine on rough off-road trails. Its 2 wheel drive can certainly handle stuff like dirt, gravel, snow and sand, but I wouldn't push it with very uneven terrain. It's not a mountain bike.
@@dragally1 Naw man. Like I said, It's not a mountain bike. Hardtail mountain bikes are fine on hard trails. These are not optimal for those conditions because of their geometry and weight. Trust me dawg! I got one and tried already. You'll be fine as long as you stay out of trails that got you going over stumps and roots.
PepperBean I have the lectric xp for $900. Probably the best e bike for the money. Most brands come and go. U should look at stable companies in case u need any help after buying. If ur only going to be using it a couple times a week, then u can go with a cheap bike. The more expensive bikes last longer bc they’re built better
S Ash If its any good, it will be miles better than Super73-Z1 after adding the Bafang-BBs02 mid drive kit for the same price as the base model Super73, especially because it has a 7-speed rear shifter to take full advantage of that mid-drive kit.
Once again great review! Two questions, I checked the website and couldn't find the answers: 1. How heavy is the bike? 2. How many lumens is the headlight?
Me and the wife have these bikes with a different setup and under a different brand (Rogue Baracuda UK) I have Kenda Krusader fat tires along with a 250w rear wheel motor and a 10AH Samsung battery its a good bike we live in the English countryside and like to go off adventuring.
Im thinking of getting this or the super 73 bikes im still doing my research on which bike is better. I love the super 73 sooo much thats whats getting me right now
Such a shame these are not worth their weight in the EU with the 250 watt limit. I literally tried to import the Radrunner from America or Canada but they would not do it. Ended up going for a dual 1500 watt electric Skateboard because I need something powerful enough to get me up hills and the throttle is also nice. 5 mph throttle limit in the EU is also a major let down. Hope this can be rectified in the future.
Hay I like that you covered things with what seems non bias but I'm interested in the 2motor bike to see the torque not flat pavement as I live in area with super steep hills and mud in winter why does no one show hill climb ability
Man I ordered two x class bikes from Ariel.. back in early April. Shipping date was supposed to be May 28.. They still haven't shipped. I was taking my vacation middle of June hoping to take those bikes to Austin.. Word to the wise.. Don't expect speedy service. Don't expect to buy what you want. No customizations allowed. You can't order what you want, unless purchased after you order online. Don't expect to be able to PAY for a bigger battery or different handlebars. They won't do it. I don't care if you want to pay, no is the answer you will get. They will let you know when they are ready to sell it to ya! Plenty of unused junk Ariel parts out there, because you HAVE to buy an extra. Nobody over there cares about people having extra parts that are brand new that you don't need or want! So far Ariel has ruined my vacation. They don't work with you to give you what you want.. I'd say they're pretty much a crap company(customer service wise), other than having a good quality product. Maybe look at a Rad bike or a Bakou.. I wish I had.
I would say 5’4” on the short end and 6’4” on the y’all end. If you’re shorter, you sit on the front part of the seat, taller scoots to the back part of the seat.
looks great, but: -why with such frame they put a very small battery on the very rear end of the bike? They could've easily fit this one or bigger one in the middle, -2x geared motor is OK, but it might've been interesting to use DD motor on the rear as the main one - this way would be noiseless to go around the city and front geared drive can be turned on in offroad conditions. -burnouts on the front wheel is not only the result of high torque, but also poor weight distribution, that's why the front actually burns the rubber more then the back.
-That same cage for the battery can already hold a 21 Ah battery. If you need more juice, just install another battery in the downtube. It's actually nice that they kept the downtube free because it's much easier to install an extra battery. -Why would you want to be completely silent in the city? It's better that pedestrians know that you're coming up behind them. Plus this bike isn't that loud when using rear wheel drive only. -Yeah I think we all know this already.
It would be much better to use a direct drive motor as a mid-drive. It will be silent (because of low rpm), not overheat, less unsprung weight and very powerful.
@@razkrunk3169 thanks For letting me know, I am about to start college soon and because of the virus I do not plan to take the bus so I am trying to find something good with a price that is not too high.
@@razkrunk3169 I think that's just strictly using full electric but if you pedal it can go farther than 40 miles. Haven't tested mine myself but I've ridden about 9 miles with very minimal battery drain using 0 or 1 pedal assist and an occasional full throttle.
@@limmoblack the bike is great. There's a Facebook community of other Ariel Rider folks where we share stories and stuff with each other. You'll see a lot of positive feedback on their bikes. This D-Class is a beast of a bike and looks different than most ebikes that look more like bicycles (if you're into that sort of thing). Plus for the price you get dual motors that really are a blast to have. That's what helps you get up hills or rough terrain with ease. I haven't ridden mine as much as other folks in the community but the times that I have it's been awesome.
I'd love to know how they set up that switch for RWD/2WD. I'm thinking of upgrading my converted bike to 2WD and I have a 48V 20.3AH battery that gives me 35-50mi of range on throttle. I'd love to have some extra torque
It is actually a bit of a myth that 2wd uses alot more battery. Yes it will definitely use a but more but not as much as people think. These motors are very efficient and if two are running they just share the load. If you really want more range and power upgrading the battery is the way to go.
I wish they make the seat a bit longer so I can carry my gf around. The battery can be also bigger with that too. The front motor can be less power than the rear or they can mess with power distribution curve via software
How tall are you? Very hard to confirm any ebike will work for 6'4" 240 pound rider. Everyone says oh one size fits all it's fine but how bout when I'm past the half hour mark hunched over?
I own one! I'm 6'4'' and a little heavier and I fit great on it. I don't hunch at all, I can sit up straight on it. Pedaling can get a bit tiresome on the knees but I don't do much pedaling on this thing.
interesting enough the EUNORAU G20-CARGO 24''48V500W i was told my the manufactor the mid drive motor is a wopping 95 NM of torque. How much torque is this baby have in total. Wanting to start a E- repair business hauling 300 pounds worth of tools and trailer.....

Boston is a lot safer than most major cities. Keep a good lock on it.

Dig the Ariel bikes.
It also needs strong front and rear racks for 2.5 gallon gas cans or multiple gallons of milk, a rear suspension, and a reflective Ariel emblem on the back of the seat.
It is great to have two motors because you avoid the annoying problem of overheating the motors!
I wonder what range it would have if you are riding in all wheel drive. It could reduce it significantly.
'Matte black'.... tricky colour to find for sure ;) Great review - looks like a fun bike for noodling around.
Professional grade video on a well-priced, too powerful electric bike.

The front wheel should be direct drive so when it gets up to speed it can switch to the front

If u run over sharp rocks does it go flat....if u run over black berry vines. Does it go flat.
It really impresses me. However, what is the range per charge?
Once someone makes something like this but more like a motorcycle with more range and speed I'll get one.
Would something like the Onyx rcr be what you're looking for?
looks great, but:
-why with such frame they put a very small battery on the very rear end of the bike? They could've easily fit this one or bigger one in the middle,
-2x geared motor is OK, but it might've been interesting to use DD motor on the rear as the main one - this way would be noiseless to go around the city and front geared drive can be turned on in offroad conditions.
-burnouts on the front wheel is not only the result of high torque, but also poor weight distribution, that's why the front actually burns the rubber more then the back.
-That same cage for the battery can already hold a 21 Ah battery. If you need more juice, just install another battery in the downtube. It's actually nice that they kept the downtube free because it's much easier to install an extra battery.
-Why would you want to be completely silent in the city? It's better that pedestrians know that you're coming up behind them. Plus this bike isn't that loud when using rear wheel drive only.
-Yeah I think we all know this already.
It would be much better to use a direct drive motor as a mid-drive. It will be silent (because of low rpm), not overheat, less unsprung weight and very powerful.
How far can you get on a single charge?
Range: Up to 40 miles (64 km), but less when riding at top speed
@@razkrunk3169 thanks For letting me know, I am about to start college soon and because of the virus I do not plan to take the bus so I am trying to find something good with a price that is not too high.
@@razkrunk3169 I think that's just strictly using full electric but if you pedal it can go farther than 40 miles. Haven't tested mine myself but I've ridden about 9 miles with very minimal battery drain using 0 or 1 pedal assist and an occasional full throttle.
Over 50 miles per charge on medium pedal assist.
@@ediot.1012 Look at the Hyperscorpion from Juiced. Mine is coming in about a week
In my country there is a limit of 1kw, do you think 250 front plus 750 rear would be better than a single 1000w rear motor?
Holy crap, this bike is exactly what I want! Just ordered it with the front basket.
How much do you think it weighs?
I have the first version and I believe it weighs about 65lbs without the battery. Obviously with the basket and battery it's probably over 70lbs.
Jonathan Nelly hey thanks! Appreciate the reply 🤙🏻
@@JonathanNelly Hi Jon, what's your verdict on the bike?
@@limmoblack the bike is great. There's a Facebook community of other Ariel Rider folks where we share stories and stuff with each other. You'll see a lot of positive feedback on their bikes. This D-Class is a beast of a bike and looks different than most ebikes that look more like bicycles (if you're into that sort of thing). Plus for the price you get dual motors that really are a blast to have. That's what helps you get up hills or rough terrain with ease. I haven't ridden mine as much as other folks in the community but the times that I have it's been awesome.
I'd love to know how they set up that switch for RWD/2WD. I'm thinking of upgrading my converted bike to 2WD and I have a 48V 20.3AH battery that gives me 35-50mi of range on throttle. I'd love to have some extra torque
It is actually a bit of a myth that 2wd uses alot more battery. Yes it will definitely use a but more but not as much as people think. These motors are very efficient and if two are running they just share the load. If you really want more range and power upgrading the battery is the way to go.
I wish they make the seat a bit longer so I can carry my gf around. The battery can be also bigger with that too. The front motor can be less power than the rear or they can mess with power distribution curve via software
4:55 how about “quick and quiet” :)
Works for me!
It’s not quiet though! 😂
How tall are you? Very hard to confirm any ebike will work for 6'4" 240 pound rider. Everyone says oh one size fits all it's fine but how bout when I'm past the half hour mark hunched over?
I own one! I'm 6'4'' and a little heavier and I fit great on it. I don't hunch at all, I can sit up straight on it. Pedaling can get a bit tiresome on the knees but I don't do much pedaling on this thing.
@@markinhifi Thank you!
I want one!
Good review
Cool looking bike so much power
Sold, great video
interesting enough the EUNORAU
G20-CARGO 24''48V500W i was told my the manufactor the mid drive motor is a wopping 95 NM of torque. How much torque is this baby have in total. Wanting to start a E- repair business hauling 300 pounds worth of tools and trailer.....
Quick and QUIET
Love it. It sits in the sweet spot. 👍
How do you secure the ebike to prevent theft?
it’s $2,700 now 😭
make the front motor regen so it recharges the battery when you ride it...infinite power
Hey, Good Point 😎
What about theft? Are there any built in features preventing theft?
rear suspension would be great
Their website is a MESS. Won't publish the speed specs.
I need one for work. Go n from point a to b. Simple
waiting for your review for huck cycle
I like this model only don't have a box behind as container.........
un sueño esa bici!
Can saddle bags be put on this..??..or would they interfere with your legs and pegs of the bike.
Messing them peoples grass up!! 🤣🤣🤣
There is no shipping to Holland
Wow! My name is Ariel too😎
