Ariel Rider Grizzly First Impressions

- My wait is over! Like many, Ariel Rider has been suffering in the logistics realm. Even tougher than usual to be manufacturing and/or shipping products lately. However, I got my Grizzly yesterday and thought I'd share my impressions. TLDR is: excellent bike! Love it! Plus, a few caveats.
Great review subscribed! Loved you’re enthusiasm about the bike! I have the 52v and I love it! And finally a reviewer talking about safety gear! I’m all about it! Wear full on motorcycle gear including a full face helmet! Nothing more important than to be safe!
Cool! I'm thinking main difference between your bike and Grizzly is acceleration to top speed, not top speed. And yes on safety grear. I now have winter riding over-pants with knee armor, plus a class 2 chest protector. Concern with full face helmet is attracting attention from police. I ride conservatively, but at full speed. Don't need to get pulled over on my commute to reach elementary, please!
Awesome Vid. I'm about to get mine and want to do almost exactly what you did with the handlebars. Thanks so much for posting this vid.
How long did you wait
@@taylorrussell3158 I haven't ordered mine yet.
I swapped to shorter bmx bars and absolutely love the sportier feel
finally a video with swapped handlebars! thats instantly what i already know im going to do, i really dont like the stock ones id much rather have more regular bike handlebars
Three rides in one day is a testament to the bike itself. I can only get away with one ride a day. - I just received the X Class (48v) last week and it is more fun than I imagined it would be. - I have to check out the shirts with the body armor. I wear a full helmet, with knee pads and elbow pads, but that sounds like a good idea too. - Good review!
Thanks! Here's s link to the shirt: www.bohnarmor.com/product-category/armored-motorcycle-riding-shirts/
I wasn't able to comment on your new 1000+k miles video, but what kind of tires are those new ones that you put on?! They look awesome. Also, I'm wondering how difficult it is to change them out.
Nice to see the bikes being delivered. Good 8nformatibe video.
I have an x52 due in November.
I'll be needing the higher up bars though, due to a spine injury I can't lean forward with the lower bars.
If you want to sell the ones you took off the grizzly hit me up!
Sure thing. LMK how you want to connect. Happy to get the bars to you. I had a major back surgery (fusion) when I was 20 after 6 years of pain, so I totally get it. Stay well.
Nice bike dude !! Subbed
The rack that ariel rider sells for the xclass fits the rear of the Grizzly. I got one and it works perfectly.
its sold out :(
@@genleestoned8858 Yea I don't think I've ever seen the long saddles in stock but I did manage to get my hands on two rear racks for my friend and I back in late 2020.
Hey I just watched your 1300 mile review video and I was just wondering if you switch out your brake pads?
Do you a link where you got that BMX handle bars on that grizzly?
Do you loose traction on the street taking turns with both motors engaged
You can kiss the $3,099 price goodbye. I just went to their site to order one and they are now $3,299. Ordered mine on Feb. 12th and received it on March 8th! 24 days! Not bad!
How bright is the headlight at night? Great for night riding?
Naw the front wheel spins out on me and I'm 220lbs! I also turn off the front motor at start. I love the handlebars.
How tall are you? Just curious because I am a taller person looking to buy one.
@@1981menso 6 ft. I got the long saddle for more comfortable peddling.
I'm having issues with my front fender hitting the tire over bumps and ive already stiffen the front fork. do you have the same issue ?
3:46 Do you know what that red button is for? Can't find anything in the manual.
Do you get more range if I use 1 battery at a time?
Can you please provide the link to buy the bars and the stem
Hey Rob, can you share 3d file for your grizzly bottom bag mount point? thanks! You can share it via thingiverse or something of that sort?
Would you recommend it over a escooter? I like the option to pedal if my battery dies like it has before on my scooters I also love the puncture resistant tires that’s a plus. I have the kaabo wolf x not as much range and I can’t pedal if battery dies
Can't say over a scooter as I don't have experience. In terms of battery, it depends on how far you are going. On the one hand, with two batteries, this thing has tons of juice. On the other hand, it's not really meant to be pedaled in a real way. In a pinch you could do it, but not fun. It's a really cool bike for sure!
yea these are really not meant to be peddled hardly at all. the peddle positioning is very poor on all these as there all mostly not meant for peddling and only peddling with electric assistance
Congrats! Question: how long did you wait on yours? I ordered mine July 21, 2021 and still have not received it. I keep getting e-mails from Ariel Rider about port delays. Thanks.
Ordered June 21st. Received it 10/22
For me it was 4.5 months or so.
You have to have a lot of patience I order my Ariel rider D-Class in May 2021 I received it end of August it worth the wait.
Yeah, I think it's mostly the supply chain nightmare that most companies are facing. I had to wait three weeks for a car part that normally takes three days max.
Just wondering where u brought your tires from? I need to buy new ones for my grizzly I had the same problem with the grunt wheel spinning out
My new tires are "E-Huntsman" tires. Very beefy.
Great thank you for getting back to me. Are the tires good for on and off road?
@@davidmericle1125 I'd say they are designed for the street but would do okay on a well-maintained dirt road. I wouldn't take them in sand, gravel, etc. I really like them for my road riding for sure.
I ordered on Sept 5, still waiting.
Can u tell us the website where u purchased the handle bars and stem from??!
Stem was just a mtb stem from my local bike shop, and bars are actually off the original stock Himiway. I have them tilted forward a bit to extend the reach farther. If you search online for "gull wing mtb bars" you'll find many.
No comment section on second video... I was wondering why you didn’t use acrylic instead of the material to hold your rear pouches ! They would be water poof !
I see a lot of people changing out the handlebars... anyone willing to sell the old handle bars cheap?
one thing i see in common by Grizzly owners is to replace the handlebar into a shorter one
Can you change the twist throttle for a thumb type?
I would think so. I have not watched this video, and it's about a different bike, but I've found his videos useful for that bike on other topics, and here he swaps twist for thumb. However, I find twist very comfortable on my 8 mile commute ride. I can imagine thumb being better for more dynamic situations off road though. th-cam.com/video/EPhAltkfwqQ/w-d-xo.html
@@robmorrill1 Thanks! Shouldn't be too difficult to swap out the throttles 👍🏻
My question is.....when did you order...and how long did it take Ariel Rider to get it to you
My order was confirmed May 24, arrived Oct. 8, so 4.5 months. I think Ariel Rider is having the same supply chain nightmare as everyone. They were always responsive to my emails. I think they are doing their best.
I bought one of these I am 6'2 300 pounds... And even I get spin outs from the front wheel from time to time if I'm not careful
Validating! I feel like they could program a 1-2 second's throttle-down from 0-7 mph when both motors are engaged, and it would solve this problem while still allowing wicked acceleration. I'm just spitballing, and there may be technical hurdles I'm unaware of, but that would be ideal imho. Ariel is creating cool stuff and is probably working on it.
How long did delivery take ?
It was four and a half months.
VERY HIGH QUALITY CHINESE EBIKE HAHAHAHAHA LOL 😂😂😂👍👍👍🇨🇳🇨🇳🇨🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳🇻🇳
LOL! Well, technically that's an ebike... I big lumbering short distance low-end ebike with massive rolling resistance.
For safety sake, please cap your bars!
Yes, I lost one of the caps for the Grizzly. Need replacements. For the Himiway, I took the screw-down grips off that for the Grizz--that's why those bars are bare.
Also, if you're talking about the Himiway, I took the grips and caps off that bike for the Grizzly. Lost one cap for a while, but just found it and replaced. I should have mentioned all this in my video! Thanks.
