Correction: The Sur Ron has more peak power than the Ariel Rider Grizzly (Sur Ron Light Bee priced at $4,400.)
Is that a pedal with gears bike? Or foot pegs like a moped or motor scooter? 😁
@@kevinnashskitchen3517 Sur Ron is an electric motorbike. (no pedals/gears)
@@drivingsports I know .. Lol just messing 😂
@@orlandopockets6372 I've been into E-Bikes for 3 years or so. I know just about all the brand's and specs 😂
@@orlandopockets6372 I have a Kepler but I do like regular style full size e bikes more so than moped or 20 inch wheeled cafe style bikes. I also wanted the full sized pedal bike that was as fast as I could get away with for under $2,000 .. Like the Wired Freedom or their step through. But I chose the Kepler.
Excellent video. It's like you literally were reliving your teen years. You can tell you were having a blast.
Good review. I think the Grizzly is very capable in the woods, but depends on what type of riding you want to do. If you want to ride like a full suspended mountain bike and do a lot of high speed woods ridig and jumps....yeah, not this bike, but if you want to go slow through the woods on semi rough terrain the torque and all wheel drive help a lot.
I have some decent trails near me and the grizzly climbs the hills on the trails easily. It also crawls over small logs quite well. Mistake I made when first driving it was just going too fast in the woods. Once I understood the capabilities of the bike I slowed down a lot.
New subscriber here Ryan, thanks to your excellent review for adults by an adult! No wasted words, great video work, gave me the feeling I was riding the bike!
Best and real down to earth ebike review ive seen. Im going to try and buy one today
excellent review. Thanks
Basically an Electric-Motorcycle. Really like this!!
Loosen the handlebars to tilt back towards you to compensate for a non-adjustable seat. It provides increased control on the trail and will rectify your main complaint. I discovered this accidentally when the handlebars were too loose and pulled back on me during a sudden stop. I was pleasantly surprised and tightened them in that position. I am 6’ and weigh 195.
I have a bike in mind and at 6'2" I expect i might also reverse the stem clamp toward me. it's the price we pay for a moped style ebike.
if your over 5'6" tall these moped style e bikes are a waste--you cannot adjust the seat and it is hard to pedal with your knees in your face--the reviewers never tell you this--i am 6'2" and trailhappy review who is 6'5" never mentioned that that on his moped review--i gave my euy moped to my friends daughter who is 5'4" and she is happy on it--if your too far back on the seat it wants to wheelie on you all the time
Excellent. While I am not into peddling these days, you did address the comparison question I would have had, which was: is the suspension better than the ubco you recently rode. I don't know about that riding position on this bike either. And as you know, a lot of our terrain in WA. (roads) speeds are 35-45 MPH. So, if that is not capable of getting us to the slower roads, it would not really be a viable option to get off our hills to get to the valley terrain.(or back up at the end of the day) Anyhow, I am enjoying this extra content of yours. Very interesting stuff.
Great Review! Would love if you can get your hands on an ECells Super Monarch.
Great video. Cool looking ebike. I'm wondering, what was the battery drain like on that test? Like did you start at 100% and how low was it toward the end?
Hi thank you.this is awesome.
Awesome review 🤙
Omg that bike looks awesome !!!! do they deliver to UK ?
I don't really have an opinion of the rest of the bike, but it looks good. Very well done biveo Myr
X-class is pulling me with 2 heavy adult all the way uphil, im very, very happy with my Arielrider!!
now that is a great ebike... building my 2020 RAD Rover 5 into a similar set up but would love to have this bad boy to make videos with....
Can't get past 20mph on Radrover
great editing 👌 😂 great bike wish is was bigger tires
Looks pretty sweet. Do you know 'occasional' how 2up riding would be on this or know of any other hunting capable e-bikes that would?
Have been debating this or the Philodo H8 for quite some time
Beautiful looking bike! Also, your helmet is really cool. Can you tell me what kind it is please?
Nice bike!!🤙🤙🤙
Cool bike! Just wish that Ariel Rider would put mag wheels instead of spokes and turn signals would be awesome.
Second that motion!
There is a reason most motorcycles and all bicycles use spokes. Much better strength to weight.
This bike is too heavy for Mags trust me, i worked on one a month ago and it is a shockingly heavy bike already, mags would add even more weight.
Just mags for me.
I have had to replace several spokes, so, yes, mag wheels would be great. As far as the weight of mags, my Juiced HyperScorpion has mags and it is about 100 lbs.
That being said, the back wheel spokes cracked and creaked and broke. The bike came that way when delivered. I should have sent the whole bike back to Ariel Rider. A bike mechanic told me to do that.
I like this video😊👍👏
I own this bike. Stupid that they give you rear foot pegs but a short seat so you can’t have a passenger. They used to sell a longer seat but stopped in 2022. I bought a long seat on eBay. Now I can sit back more for comfort. This bike gets flats very easily. I just started having heavy rear motor vibration below 23 mph, then it runs smooth above 23 mph.
How can I unlock the speed? Also what can i do to keep it from getting stolen in the city?
The Talaria Sting eBIke doesn't need pedal assist to go up hills, it has more than enough power to make it up the steepest hills, on or off road. But at the same time it's a totally different style and also about 30 lbs heavier.
Why do people always compare these bikes to a sur ron or talaria lmao. They are completely different levels of bikes.
@@YOU_GOT_SHOOK You are correct, I misunderstood what he said about the power. He was specific in saying that if you only have a 500watt motor on the rear you would need pedal assist. And yes, there is no comparing Talaria and Sur ron to that little thing.
Which city do you live? the area looks beautiful
Do you have specs on your helmet that looks like a really good & safe one. I will check back to see if you reply with specs... thanks
Good looking bike, looks very well made and packed with all the good gear. The issue for most will be the price, though It may be worth the price it's just out of reach for many.
A custom bike build more bang
for your buck! Grizzly’s price of $3000 kind of high. This is my first build Trek 4500 26” hard tail with the Bafang BBSO2 750w 48v-10ah not as flashy or expensive but for under $1100 not bad
That shifter is what we called, Mickey mouse tourney TZ. That's a 14-34T freewheel. You can upgrade to 14-42T, 9 speed with trigger shifter. What size are the rotors?
Oh yeah, forgot to mention from the last video, your backyard trail is pretty cool!
Brakes are Tektro Dorado HDE350 Hydraulic Discs with 180mm Rotors
@@ridingsportstv ...regardless of size/style/make, I do not trust a 180mm disk and two small pads to stop me from 30+ mph when I really need to stop (
@@K03sport Sounds like we need to do brake tests going forward. :)
Thanks Jack, it's been fun building out the trail.
Really nice!!!!!
I hope AR will upgrade the front batt up to 30 ah for total of 50 ah when they have the v4 Grizzly. That would make the bike awesome.
I just wish they would even keep ANY battery for this bike IN STOCK .. I’ve been trying to get extra batteries for 6 months now ..
Can u test engine pro like this bike? Grizzly is 3k$ cost, engine pro about 1.8k$ and i am wondering it is enough for same roads like grizzly.
how much travel do you have on the front fork?
Look at the RUclips videos on the E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown AWD bike. It is an excellent hunting off road cargo bike from Pahrump, Nevada. I love mine for its many features (like nine levels of torque sensing pedal assist).
I like the screen for the mph but where would I put my phone?
What a nice place you have there
Hey, mind giving a link? I can’t get the version three
This is my second purchase of this e bike. I like it that much. Theres a hidden code for this bike also that makes it go 38
Hard to feather the throttle to get exact speeds for ya?
Can you removed the batteries and do you know how much they weigh? Want to make sure bike rack can hold the weight. Thank you!
The only way the grizzly will go 45MPH is if you've hefted it onto a bike rack and your automobile is going that fast.
lol so true. Maybe 36 with a lighter rider. It's a great bike, no need to exaggerate like he did. Must be getting paid.
I don’t know, I’ve already hit 36 on my Lectric with a slight wind at my back. I bet I could hit 45 with a 45 mile per hour wind and a slight hill.
What these people wont tell you is if you unlock the speed like he did and either get injured or anything happens with the battery or bike the company wont be held responsible for any damage caused. Also these batteries are not certified with any US standards of quality control, meaning yeah they could be LG or SAMSUNG battery cells but you can have some random person wiring this with no standard for how anything should be wired for safety standards. Buyer beware.
$3,000 better come with sucky sucky
I found out about what IS NOT COVERED when inquiring about insurance…. Just as you stated … And I also wondered about these batteries… the LEAST they could have done was to MAKE SURE THEY HAVE A UL rating seeing as it’s a u.s. branded e-bike … Not sure if I would have bought it had I known b4 hand … but finally 11 months after it being delivered with a broken key chamber on the rear battery that’s supposed to be to the battery tray and missing toque screw for the front wheel…. I am finally pleased with its performance … sure wish they would keep there accessory items AVAILABLE but I’ve bought all my upgrades from other online vendors .
You can get 3 lectric 3.0 for this price and they go 28-30 mph. And they also get really Good range on on the standard battery don't even need their extended range battery. I go 40 mile round trip on mine no issue. I do peddle though on assist 3-4 the entire trip.
But can you get two people on comfortably?
Would you like to review the Euybike S4? It comes with a 1000W motor and a 25Ah battery, and it's just $1399 right now.
can you review surron light bee?
We plan to do some Light Bee stuff later this summer.
Sweet. _I_ need an acreage with a private bike trail.
What gear? Helmet, goggles, jacket, gloves, boot/shoe???
Is this gold or yellow, looks like gold, is this a special edition version?
Just curious what the hell what are you wearing I need to upgrade to a full face I ended up getting into a bit of a bike accident on the way home and broke my helmet
What’s your helmet called where can I get it
That's an awesome backyard. Where the heck do you live? Feel free to be as vague as necessary lol. I'm just trying to have a backyard like that when I get my life together
I'm on the Washington State peninsula.
@@ridingsportstv been there many times--never have seen a clear day though
These dual motor bikes interest me.
Beautiful Bike! What's the range per full charge
Ariel Rider claims 75 miles. That's mixed with pedaling, though. Full throttle expect much less.
The range is going to be affected by your weight.
I weigh 235 lbs. and I am comfortable going 30 miles pedaling all the time and using one motor unless I'm going up a hill.
The RUclipsr, Shreddie MacSkate, did a range test where he gets about 40 miles using both motors full throttle. I guess he weighs about 150 lbs.
Personally, I laugh at the claim of a range of 75 miles. No fucking way!!!
Do you get flat tires?
THATS A NICE BIKE, A D WOW THAT LAND IS NICE TO. WHAT STATE?
The dual color scheme looks boy racer, I wish they made this in a solid color
As a Canadian just get the KS Stallion it's an improved Ariel Grizzly for much cheaper 😊
Scoop up a philobo h8 AWD for 1700 and compare it. Slightly less top end but torque wise it’s great.
Where does this dude live Jesus it’s beautiful
Why can you buy those handle bars?
Where can I buy one
What is the incline percentage that bike won't climb West Virginia has mountains and valleys great review..
The hill that required both motors was roughly a 23% grade (about 13°)
Where is this amazing place that you live??
Does this really go 45?? The website and customer service stated 33mph... Only reason why I purchased a Cty2 instead.
We did a speed test in the video.
@@ridingsportstv And it hit 35.
Sweet man! I got one of the last fucare full suspension ebike, 31 mph for only $1800...
Has their customer support improved? I keep hearing nightmares about Grizzlies that are dude and the customer support isnt there
Dude I have an ecell ebike it has two motors two batteries 🔋 and I am 190 lbs the bike will do 13 to 14 miles per hour up steep hills and I mean steep hill.
31 to 32 miles per hour on flat ground. The bike is heavy about 95 lbs with out all the bags that come with it, but you see I have tire liners, no flat liquid in the tires all the bells 🔔 and whistles on the handlebars and a GPS hidden on the bike and then I have all the needed high level tools with an extra tube tool to repair anything on the bike, that pushes the weight up probably 40 lbs, I even ordered and spare controller because when you have problems that is the first thing to go out and it take most supplier’s about 6 months to send you another one and trust me it will go out when you lest expect it, but it will give you a warning that it is having problems so take those warnings to heart park it and order you another one. They cost about $127 dollars.
Have fun 🤩 I am as old as dirt, but that’s what us old guys do with are 401k money 💴 we buy expensive Ebike and ride like the wind 🌬️ just for the exercise and a chance to get out of the house.
When your were at top speed of 35 mph and with maximum electric output of 2000 watts, where you in AWD or just rear wheels engaged?
that first clip is scary as shit, this bike is so heavy
Thanks Ryan. This Grizzly or a Honda Grom? 🤔 they are about the same price, but of course one is an e-bike and the other a small-ish motorcycle. Both appear to be insanely fun.....and yes, I fit the Grom just fine
For this format, I prefer electric. Both very difference experiences.
Grom is added insurance msf plus safety gear plus maintenance
Go for the Honda Grom or the trail 125. They will definitely last longer
@@Enrique-peralta..."added safety gear"? sure, helmet, gloves, long pants and boots...but the grizzly will get up to 40mph (w/tiny brakes) and you don't want "extra" gear while riding that? granted, while in FL, I saw plenty of ppl riding motorcycles in tank tops and flip-flops. I don't mind the extra gear. Yes, both are totally different experiences and the Grom is an 'M' endorsement on the license (which I have), extra insurance, gasoline, oil, and registration. however, something about the Grom just screens "fun" w/o the seriousness of a larger motorcycle.
@@karlfonner7589 Or even the XR150.
A lot of people put BMX handlebars on these bikes. Much nicer for the trails.
Looks fun-ish but also uncomfortable and noisy and pretty slow accelaration. You didn't explain some important things like it's range, especially in AWD without pedaling. Also the weight? Also, how well do lights work after dark....
This bike has one of the fastest acceleration and torque in the game. Surron comes at first.
They look nice, unfortunately mine only lasted 20 miles before the rear motor stopped working, 10 months of dealing with customer service to get nowhere. I finally was able to buy a new motor at a cost of 347 dollars. So before you buy one look at your other options first so you dont wind up with a 3600 dollar useless bike
Wow was gone pick one up 🤦🏾♂️
Wow. You are right on customer service. They don't have sh..t for replacement parts I have been waiting over a year to get a extended seat. I was just getting ready to buy this same bike in this video. I have a step through x class arel rider right now with over a thousand miles on it. And it's still amazing. I want to give it to my son and get the upgrade thats in this video. But you kids scared me. Plus replacement parts though this company are about non existent. But they sale everything you need through other companies. I have been trying to get a new charger for about 6 months now 😢. If I don't get this bike do you have any suggestions on a good upgrade?
my local bike shop is full of these Chinese bikes getting fixed or waiting for parts.
Had same issues customer service sucks not worth hassle
@@curtiskelly6553the x21 ebike or freego pro 3
which ebike has the longest wheel span? i'm tall and heavy.
the radrover 6+ is huge.
if your over 5'6" tall these moped style e bikes are a waste--you cannot adjust the seat and it is hard to pedal with your knees in your face--the reviewers never tell you this--i am 6'2" and trailhappy review who is 6'5" never mentioned that that on his moped review--i gave my euy moped to my friends daughter who is 5'4" and she is happy on it--if your too far back on the seat it wants to wheelie on you all the time
I'm guessing you are still a bit new to ebikes based on how you talked. Not a bad thing at all. I would give you one tip always start out on the rear motor then kick the front one on. That will drastically reduce the wheel spin. There's another RUclipsr who hasn't figured that out yet even though he built his own AWD bike. Not sure how that happens.
6:24 He mentions this exact thing at the timestamp 😂
That handle bar position is waaaay to high.
What kind of helmet are you wearing?
Mongoose Full Tilt amzn.to/3UDP1x0
BMX
How much
All wheel drive? Don't you mean both wheel drive?
Needs a larger batter for greater range.
The bike has 2 batteries, on 20 amp hours and one 15 amp hours for a total of 35 amp hours.
I need an e-bike that can be comfy for a 6 ft 220lb guy.
So looking around.
I’m 6’1”, 215lbs and the Grizzly is very comfortable to ride.
if your over 5'6" tall these moped style e bikes are a waste--you cannot adjust the seat and it is hard to pedal with your knees in your face--the reviewers never tell you this
I have found that 20 mph on my e-bike into a strong headwind or crosswinds is not safe.
To play around on its nice but at that price and weight you would have to have security that’s a Fort Knox to a thief and they will do more damage trying to steal then it’s worth . You have to have a safe place and insurance.
Só faltou o gato na sexta né irmãos
You forgot a thing. It looks like a kids' bike. That's all for today, folks!
Nice bike but that 21" non adjustable seat would be a deal breaker for me.

The seat height is 34 inches. Only leprechauns use 21-inch seat bikes.
That seat is not 21 inches high...
Duz not go 45
Definitely doesn't hit 45 mph.
I have one top speed is 36 to 38 on flat ground with no wind. I tested free wheel speed on mine and it was 40.5.
There’s no way it would hit 45mph..the top speed for these hub motors is mid 30s..dual or single is around the same. Would just take longer to get to top speed with single motor
How could I order this exact model? It is for my mother I want to get her one.
Looks like it wouldn't take much to break it in half
Yeah, no! I went 38 in a car door. Nothing happened to the bike. My body though. Can't say the same thing. This bike is a tank
Why all the great and fun products are only avail in the US. It is not shipped in EU apprently. Very sad
Get better handlebars (lower &wider) and order some grizzly tires from super 73 and it's a TOTALLY different bike 💯💪🏾
The seat is NOT 21" high. It's 34" high. It's also absurd that a single 1,000 watt motor could barely get you up a hill. 1000W should have been more than enough to do that which makes me question the actual nominal/peak power of the rear motor. ALSO stupid that there are passenger footpegs with a tiny single seat that can't be upgraded. Finally, it's idiotic that they cheaped out with 2 piston brakes when they should be 4 pistons for a bike like this.
Definitely not for me..that seat is too low for me with these long legs..I think I'll take a look at the revv 1 but it's still a nice bike tho
f your over 5'6" tall these moped style e bikes are a waste--you cannot adjust the seat and it is hard to pedal with your knees in your face--the reviewers never tell you this
Should say 45 mph on some decline. 😁
More like a VERY steep decline. He did list 35mph(I would not call that “insane”) in the title so I will assume he misspoke
OK I think some people need to know if you things I’ve been a professional bicycle mechanic since 1998. Bikes like this that go at really high speeds. Yeah it’s great until you realize the brakes are not up to stopping a machine that heavy fast enough to even be safe. The wheel bearings inside of them are usually severely under greased and are going to get so hot riding that fast it’s going to destroy itself. This is like putting a Lamborghini engine in a Ford escort. It’s not gonna turn out great
I'm surprised you've been a bicycle mechanic for so long you don't even know about ebikes.
@@YOU_GOT_SHOOK oh pumpkin it’s so cute that you think I don’t well I will tell you this because of the influx of cheap Chinese online electric bikes I’ve been busier than ever because I’m one of the only people around that will work on them. I do at least five brake jobs a week because of most of these pieces of crap and their sub power equipment so you just continue believing whatever you want and doing whatever you want because honestly I don’t care.
@@LargeeeScaleLife some people just love being a Karen, so yea i do not care what they say either, take care :0
I have the Grizzly, I'm 235 lbs. and the brakes work wonderfully.
No problems with the wheel bearings.
At that price I’ll just get a car or a motorcycle 😂
yeh Price is definately a dealbreaker imo. That bike should be 2999.00 and thats pushing it.
That why the company is giving you for free a Paddle Board Kit if you purchase. To say thank you for paying too much with company love.
