Ariel Rider Kepler Power and Distance Test
I performed a ride on the Kepler using different pedal assist levels and throttle only on a flat road to determine how much power was consumed for 1 mile of travel for each setting. Settings were max speed of 28kph, with 3 pedal assist levels. Mile 1: PAS1, Mile 2: Full Throttle, Mile 3: PAS2, Mile 4: PAS3, Mile 5: PAS1.

Ariel Rider Kepler Uphill Performance - Commuting to Work (Uphill) -
มุมมอง 10K2 ปีที่แล้ว
This is my 3.5 mile commute to home from work, it starts with downhill, but I have two big hills to climb, one is 1 mile long and 6%-7% grade, and the last hill is 12%-14% grade. This is with the bike unlocked at max speed and max pedal assist. I mostly use pedaling and only throttle to start. I will have a companion video that shows the ride to work, which will be downhill and see how the Kepl...
Ariel Rider Kepler Commuting to Work

This is my 3.5 mile commute to work, it's mostly downhill and you can get a feel for the downhill speeds you might achieve. This is with the bike unlocked at max speed and max pedal assist. I mostly use pedaling and only throttle to start. I will have a companion video that shows the ride back, which will be uphill and see how the Kepler does on that. #arielrider #kepler #ebike #commute #commut...
Ariel Rider Kepler Size Comparison and How To Get On The Bike
มุมมอง 6K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Compares the size of the Kepler to a standard mountain bike and shows how to get on and off the bike. I am 5' 9" tall. How to properly mount and dismount the bike, with or without a curb. #arielrider #kepler #ebike #review

Is 5'5 inches tall enough to ride this Kepler electric bike?
how do you unlock the speed settings?
No way this bike can go almost 40MPH your speed odometer is off.
Dope post!
The step through does not make it much easier to get on. The battery is so large that lowering the cross bar doesn’t provide much more space. I recommend to people getting a drop post particularly with a bike this tall. I’m 6 feet and with seat raised to good pedaling height I can barely touch the ground. My only other suggestion is to not raise the maximum speed setting higher that you’ll go in real life. It preserves battery life and keeps the pas levels reasonable. Mine is set to peak at 1240 watts and is still sufficient to climb steep hills at good speed. Final note: if you can keep the pas at 1 or 2 while pedaling it significantly improves battery usage.
All of those things to adjust and set just to ride a bike! What a shame!
wondering why I didnt get a quick release
lets make a decent BIKE!!!!!! Lear smoothing with Tesla!!! 28 KM or Miles, any speed bike does !!!!!!!!!!!!!
28 KM?????????
Is it legal???
No!!300cc gas moped for that hill.too much stress on that bike.but I love my e-bike also
IDK if you already do have them, since you look well equipped for riding in traffic, but I always suggest(after being hit multiple times, once breaking 7 bones which even 5 years later my hip is in rough shape)is get good bright strobe LEDs front, back and sides. They REALLY make a difference. I talk to ppl I know who see me out for rides that tell me they see me from crazy far away compared to others. I got basically 2 cheaper kits(not the cheapest though). A kit that has front and back lights that have a few diff colors and can strobe and diff speeds and I got another kit that are blinking LED spoke reflectors. So dual purpose. During the day I have them on high and at night the lowest brightness works just fine along with my headlight and break light. It could save your life for about 50 USD for both if you hunt around.
wherr did u gdt that backscrden from
I've watched plenty of ebike video and gotta say I really like your style
Mine did not arrive with the thing that you hold before installing the front tire just 2 nuts and washers.
What is the top speed in MPH?
I got up to 38mph on the flat with peddle assist today!
How tall are you and what does your inseam measure?
Will the police give you a ticket for "eating" the red light in a bicycle? (Assuming that you take the precautions before crossing the road or intersection.)
Ariel Rider has cornered the market on making the ugliest bikes possible. Bike has great power though.
Get the low one
It looks great
Questions:[1] Is Battery from a quality source? [ 2] on their Site $100 Extra charge for special inspection before shipping--- is that necessary. Thanks.
What's coming out of the back of your head is that part of a bike helmet
I'm 6'6 and I find the Kepler perfect size. =) Also, we're in Mission Viejo too.
Ariel rider Customer service is the worst. I will never buy one again
Really? That sucks. My friend has a Rider and he and I love it. Let's hope he doesn't have issues. Hopefully if something does happen it's something we can fix.
i dont know bro you look like 5'5" 5'6" are you sure 5'9"
I missed the part where you charge the battery.
I have a very similar commute and have been looking to upgrade my ebike. I'm currently on the walmart GoTrax Alpha which has way less power than the kepler to the point where some hills the motor doesn't even help anymore. After watching this I can't wait to be able to order one for myself.
thanks man! just followed video and came out great!
I read down a little farther and noticed you knew about the assist levels. Oh well.
Nice review. About your pedal assist, you can change the number of assists up to 9 different levels on that bike. I own a Ride One Up 700 and I changed mine to 9 assists. Also on mine you're able to change the power levels on each assist. I don't know if that can be done on yours but if you can, once you get it the way you want it you won't have to keep changing it. There is a definite learning curve with these bikes. I don't go very fast too often on mine, but I got mine set up so good that I can barely tell the difference between gears and the shifting is so smooth that I can barely feel the shift. I'm retired and have knee problems and I wish I would have bought a step through also. These bikes are big and I have a rough time swinging my leg over to get on. I've been thinking of selling mine and have been looking at the Ariel Rider Kepler's step threw because they have more power. Not that I need the extra power I just want it. The price is right also. The way I ride I get over 70 miles on one charge. My battery is only 14 amp-hours. The faster you go the fewer miles you'll get on a charge no matter how you set it up. There are tricks to riding these bikes to maximize your distance. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun riding a bike. I hope this helps you with the assists. Either way happy riding.
So you had your mobile mounted to the right of the central display. What was the thing on the left side?
What’s the range you’ve gone with throttle only?
you call those hills then come to Vancouver I'll show you real hills
Nice video! I’ve got mine on order.
I get a tiny bit of fluttering on occasion with the rear brake caliper. Not always. And the complaint of tire noise? My tires are not noisy at all. It's that motor cranking out power that does most of the whine. Under 25 mph the whole system is relatively quiet. At least mine is.
I'm getting about 18 miles before battery leaves 100% when using PAS 1 in top speed setting 40 mph. That's with 9 levels and 1 being 17mph. After going to 90% or so battery, it will drop 1-2% every mile when remaining in PAS 1 at 17mph. 23 miles or so I'm at that 90%..33 miles can be about 70% 45 miles in that 50% range. That's not touching the throttle and only 17mph top speed. Level ground . 50% at 40 plus miles so far.
I'm doing 17 mph in PAS1 with it set for 9 PAS levels at 63 kph top speed.
Thanks for your review, I have a low bar black with blue on order so I am checking out these reviews to see how folks like yourself would like to upgrade so like you and others have said about the seat so I have a Cloud 9 seat here waiting, next I want better lighting to go with the Xnito Logan helmet with LEDs & Arclight pedals, a good head and tail light & turn signal as you had mentioned I'm not sure if I would have add a 52 volt to 12 - 13.6 volt step down unit or cannibalise some Milwaukee battery gun units to power the lights? not sure how many watts/amps the 12 volt circuit standard can handle. One last thing I just watch a "Randy Rides" video were he swaps out the stock tires tires for Veetireco Speedsters on his and he does a decibels before and after, A Lot Quieter so that's on my list too
THX FOR SHARING! "Great Tips" 👍
I have just put 200 miles on my new Kepler. All of my rides have been in the hilly terrain, here in the Gold Country (foothills) of California. I rarely use my throttle and constantly pedal for all of the rides. I love the workout, along with the pedal-assist. My conclusion, for maximum distance on a full battery charge, in hilly terrain, with power level 2 and 3, is roughly 40 miles.
if the pedal assist 1 is going up to 20 miles an hour.. then you must of set the top speed at 99km/h , you should only need to set it at 55km/hour , the reason its doing 20 miles per hour on assist 1 is because it is dividing up the amount per hour on each pedal assist based on the top speed you have set . 55km/hour is 34miles per hour, which should be plenty. Then you will now start to see that pedal assist one is going to be much less then 20 miles per hour :)
Definitely the best e bike for the price & comes with better components too, I want one, The Junker just showed us why people que up and have to wait a month on back order for one
The clicking from the brakes I heard is from the rotor being out of round I heard. I heard a guy say they sent him a new one
I’m all about the step through
Hello… I’m 5’8 do you think the low step will be pretty easy to ride and standing at a stop?… thanks
Hi. Same height here, 30" inseam (actual, not pants). I have the low-step Kepler and I have to stand a little to the side of the crossbar (being a male) to be comfortable. It's doable, but if you forget to stand a little to the side....well, you won't forget more than once!😀
Which would you say is better for light off-roading such as riding on grass and dirt roads? Kepler or X-52?
Stay far away from aventon ebikes from someone who bought 2!
Is it easy to go into settings to make it that fast or does it come that way ?
It's ez. Just put in the password which I think for the Rider is 1919 and it's opens the menu to do it.
So it's worth a month wait.. back ordered right now
