The spokes come loose on these bikes since they use 12 (or larger) gauge spokes which can't be tensioned properly. If they understood wheel dynamics, they would employ thinner gauge spokes and build a stronger wheel.
Yeah their customer service is hit and miss. I think it is hurting Ariel Rider sales for sure as it should be. Although seems like a lot of these online e-bikes companies are lacking in customer service. I get about the same service from my cable, cellphone carrier, and about every business today. Crappy service seems to be the theme of the world right now. I was just checking out the new wired freedom. They just crushed the Kepler. Ariel rider needs to fix their customer service issues if they are going to compete with these new competitors. I think a lot of their issues could be resolved before they start if they would focus a little more on quality control issues. With that said I do have some mad respect for what Ariel riders invitations accomplished in the e-bike industry.
My display on the grizzly went out. With the help of AR and a hired electrician, I was able to have the problem diagnosed. Took a month for the display to be in stock. Was a little disappointed that the display wasn’t covered by warranty. But $100 plus tax and shipping wasn’t to pad. You can’t get ahold of anyone if you try calling AR, but communication over email was excellent.
I agree about the seat…. My JB Seat comes the day after tomorrow… Jerry seems like a great guy. I got it in red and black with a Grizzly badge on the back. Accessories I’m willing to get aftermarket. I start in rwd then kick in fwd to avoid the burnout… I call it the nitrous switch! All in all I’m thrilled with the bike!!👍👍
I love my Grizzly BUT: Going down long steep hills will torch your brakes. It would be so nice if it had regenerative braking or something to assist the brakes. The handle bars are way too tall in my opinion. I changed mine right away. The bike should come with a better seat and tires. BUT, I would definitely recommend this bike. The power is amazing!
No issues riding at the wind farm? I'm two hours south of there and it looks like a fun place to ride! I think the roads to the wind farms here (PA / MD line) have locked entrances.
No, problems riding at sandy ridge. Last time I was there they were putting in some new windmills. There are all kinds of different roads they were not working on. I was riding even where they were working. The whole area is open to bikes. It’s a great place to ride. It’s like 3 hours from me. I live on Md /PA border too
Also from Pennsylvania. I’ve been riding OneWheels and eskateboards for a bit now. Looking to get into an electric bike for commenting and the occasional off-road riding. I’m torn between this bike and the Motor Goat by Goat Power Bikes. Just wondering if you think the dual motors is a must have since you say you use this bike in single motor mode a lot. And have you checked out this other company at all for comparison? Thanks for your time. And great review.
That’s a tough one. I would say I think the grizzly would be more off-road capable and have a much longer range, but the goat has a good bit of torque and a lot of power in the rear motor for being a gearless motor. The goat also looks like it has a much nicer seat and some key features like turn signals and brighter headlight. I am not sure about the goat customer service but I will say Ariel Rider ain’t the best. Honestly I don’t think either one would be wrong. I would be happy with either. I do love my grizzly and I feel like that is my forever e-bike. The extra motor and battery does make a difference. I like having that extra zip in my grizzly and being able to use the extra motor when I want or need it. It’s like having a turbo in a car or powerband in a dirt bike. I honestly lean about 50/50 from what I have seen of the goat and price difference. I haven’t ridden a goat so that might sway me one way or the other. I honestly think you would be happy with either. Sorry I ain’t much more help than that. lol
@JaysTipsforTech it's called JB seats. I will attach video on seat. It also talks about how to order and gives links in description. Hope that helps you out. th-cam.com/video/mTFZ-_GhzkQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CxbXr3x9QzA8zVEi
@@gearadventures I stayed with knobby tires since I do some off-roading with my bike. I got replacements from Amazon. They're "Heavy Duty/High Performance" which are sold by multiple sellers (YunSCM/HEB/Ultraverse) They feel nice but they're heavier than the stock tires. I will say it feels like it would be harder to get flats with these on but not impossible. So far I like them, but haven't seen the longevity since they're still newish. I think most people that get knobby tires go for Vee Huntsman and CST Scout tires though. I might try those if these don't work out.
I have a Voro Motors Road Runner Pro that has dual motors like the Grizzly. Same thing happen's to me the front wheel wants to do a burnout if I don't feather throttle only difference is it has dual 2000w motors so it's even worse. In the system settings you can adjust how much power goes to the front or back wheels say 70% for the back and 30% split for in the front although I've never messed with it. It would be interesting if manufactures started outfitting these dual motor bikes with traction control although I think that would elevate the cost of these bikes quite a bit.
Even better, change the throttle curve at the lower throttle settings. There's no reason to have the uncontrollable throttle "tip in" these bikes have.
@@zeppast But doesn't that reduce the overall power for hill climbing, etc.? I've settled on using it as a 2 speed gear shift... start out with just the rear motor and when up to speed flick on the front motor.
Yeah, it's a JB seat. Has made riding long distance way easier on the butt. 😆 How do you like the XClass? What kind of battery range do you get on the XClass.
@@gearadventures I like it. I have not had much time to ride it yet due to getting a new seat. Just got new one installed yesterday. Hopefully warms up a bit this weekend. I’m a big guy so I am guessing I could get 25-30 miles on it. But I bought a second battery for any longer rides. Love that peace of mind.
I never start out with my front motor. I don't have a Grizzlie, but all dule motors have the same problem. I don't know if true but I understand a more powerful rear motor than the front does help.
I usually only use my rear motor too. Unless I need the extra power or boost of speed. I have noticed since I changed out the tires to V-huntsman. It's hasn't been nearly as bad. I have heard the same thing. Having less power/torque in the front motor and also changing handlebars helps. If they would move to using a torque sensor instead of cadence, that might help resolve some of that to.
@gearadventures I can't tell you how glad I have that 2nd motor. I live on a mountain and my street is one of the steepest in town. If I had to live with one motor I could but I'd wear that thing out pretty fast.
Hey buddy, where did you find your four digit code on your grizzly? I just got my grizzly in yesterday and I don’t see any four digit code anywhere in my package and I haven’t turned on my bike yet. My batteries are still charging.
The seat I purchased from JB seats is a 4 inch seat. You can order seats with more padding to help raise you higher. You can pedal it, but honestly the grizzly is more a throttle bike than pedal bike. My brother is 6'4 and 230lbs and was riding it the other day and was comfortable on it.
I used the hollyland lark m1. Since I have upgraded the mics but that was a great mic and worked great for me. Still is a good mic to fit under a full face helmet. amzn.to/3OlqZF4
@BlackHoleSun970 Yeah, they are out of stock a lot. It's one of my dislikes in this video. If you join the Facebook groups every couple of months when they get in stock everyone post on it. Recently, they have been getting them in stock more often.
I got about 10 miles on mine and already got a flat on a regular smooth road-so much for the puncture resistant tires.... try pushing a grizzly for a few miles if you want to feel what true torture is
What tires are the upgrade ? I will definitely be doing that - I was so disappointed and angry my tire failed on a smooth street - not even my road bike tires are that fragile - they advertised how strong their tires are so you have “ piece of mind “
Same thing happened to me. Had to push the bike back 3 miles. I so just wanted to dump the damn thing on the side of the road and freaking walk back without it.
The description of this video has the seat Instagram and Facebook. It also gives more information on how to order. th-cam.com/video/mTFZ-_GhzkQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=erDZZGS3PFwS2hBb
Yup, that would help. I have also heard different handle bars that will shift your body weight more forward helps to. Tires are my next upgrade. What do you run on yours?
It started around 300 miles for me. I tightened them up and the same 2 or three came loose a couple times. I order a few spares so I could feel a little more confident making them really tight. I was a little scared of breaking one and being at the mercy of waiting for new ones to ride, but really that's the only issue I have had at all.
I called ariel ebike company to test their customer service and it was horrible they could not answer simple questions about their own products and when I asked about the battery cells they put me on hold and never answered. Always test these companies before buying because these bikes can break easily and if you can't get parts or terrible customer service you are out lots of money..I personally would not recommend this company based on their customer service
You are the first person I have ever heard of that actually got them to answer the phone. Everyone one I know has to do email to ever get a hold of anyone. I hear people say they don't get a response for 2 weeks. So far I have got responses within 24 hours every time I reached out. 🤞 Sounds like the wrong person answered your call for sure.
My expierence with customer service was ok at first and then deteriorated. Don’t answer the phone. I also wrote a review of the Kepler that was somewhat critical. They didn’t post it.
Yeah, well I have one and for the price you're not getting much better. They probably just don't waste time answering questions random curious people, when any nimrod could just find the info online. "ALL" phone operated services suck these days. Person didn't answer questions because they probably don't even work for Ariel Rider. Most companies hire answering services these days. It sucks, but that's 2023. When you get one they're good over email if something is off. Otherwise I got mine based off the TH-cam reviews, and they're the best. Sure nobody cares if you buy one. Everyone else is, because they're a great Ebike.
It's the rear cargo rack from Ariel Rider. It's one of my dislikes about the bike. Ariel Rider has issues with keeping their accessories in stock. I will attach the link. The rack comes in and out stock ever 3 to 6 months it seems. I wish they would find a new supplier. arielrider.com/products/cargo-plus-rear-rack
I can't say for sure because I am 5'11. I have seen people on Facebook groups, and forums say they are 5'6 and are tall enough to ride it. I would imagine you would be on your toes.
I got the music from Envato elements. Just have the songs listed as blues, blues guitar, and trailer blues rock. I used all three of those during the video. I pay for Envato Elements subscription. Having to get a new song license every time is a little bit of pain, but they have decent music and good pricing.
Yeah, the stock seat had me standing up a good bit for sure. Even when I wasn't riding because it hurt to sit. 😂 The JB seat changed the whole dynamic of the ride itself. I really wasn't expecting it to change the feel as much as it did. The seat made more than just my butt happy. 😅
My experience with the Grizzly was horrible - after many many issues including having to buy a new front motor & controllers for over $650.00 - anything I bought from Grizzly took weeks or months to get including the seat which is a joke - the tires are worthless and you need a new front tire every 6 weeks - the Grizzly is the most overrated overpriced ebike you can waste your money on - Get a Ridstar dual motor dual battery comes with far more accessories and way better support - I ride my bike cross country in the desert and the bike is a beast - Grizzly cannot keep up with my Ridstar - if you want to waste your money buy a grizzly -
Yup, it is a lot of money for an ebike, but inexpensive when you compare it to other ebikes like it. Most cost more and offer less. I also have a letric 2.0. It's also a nice ebike. I think they are on sale for $799 right now.
I think there are multiple reasons why people stay reserved on promoting that anyone should break laws. I would rather not assume responsibility because a 17 year old kid says my video that told him he could do 38 mile per hour and fell off and died as a direct result of the speed. Creators still have a responsibility when making videos. One to not end up being sued by family’s who want to blame them and two to not recommend people get into trouble by breaking laws. Well at least to not blindly lead them to get into trouble. It’s always best to say hey if you want to do 38mph that’s on you, but just know the laws of your location and state. Class 1, 2, and 3. While I may not agree with these laws on several basis, and if I recited why this response would be very long. It is still the laws and I want people to be aware you can get into trouble so check your laws because I am not assuming responsibility for those who don’t. I think thats sort of my take on it, but again someone can pedal 35mph but if it is electric.. then suddenly it’s illegal and a class 3 unless properly registered by the state which then changes where it can be ridden unlike the pedal bike. Hope that explains why people are soft on talking about getting out there and riding 38mph. I say if someone wants to assume full responsibility of that action then that’s on them, but as a creator in today’s world, you have to be careful of how you say some things.
I do own different ebikes. I would say the grizzly is by far the best out of the bunch. It's well rounded better than most ebike. I think a Talaria is on my future radar.
Good review! Love the bike so far, I get a lot of compliments riding it. I had one guy who thought it was motorcycle lol. It's hilarious, passing by other motorcycle riders, they look at my bike like "wtf is that thing?" xD Regular bike riders are mad haters like " cheater! Wish I had one tho" xD Everyone else is like "nice ride man!" Always a fun day on the Grizzly.
@PHANTOM just mainly running into Ken and Karen's that make dumb comments. There are a lot of people who still don't like electric bikes. Especially the grizzly because it looks like a moped, and they don't think it belongs anywhere. Lol Then you have people that love them and ask all kinds of questions.
Ive had mine since it came out, I pre-ordered it.. a few years now and it's unstoppable. I have had a few issues,. My Throttle control broke down but Ariel Rider naturally didn't have the part (What a surprise) marketplace

Exactly, they need to hire an axialographer or a wheelologist to better design the wheels and spokes for this bike.

Hi is there any new upgrades for the grizzly coming in 2024 ?
I haven't heard anything yet. I would imagine at some point we will see Version 4.
does not look like the seat height is adjustable. At 6'3" is it comfortable or high enough to ever pedal?

My experience with the Grizzly was horrible - after many many issues including having to buy a new front motor & controllers for over $650.00 - anything I bought from Grizzly took weeks or months to get including the seat which is a joke - the tires are worthless and you need a new front tire every 6 weeks - the Grizzly is the most overrated overpriced ebike you can waste your money on -
Get a Ridstar dual motor dual battery comes with far more accessories and way better support - I ride my bike cross country in the desert and the bike is a beast - Grizzly cannot keep up with my Ridstar - if you want to waste your money buy a grizzly -
The grizzly is very expensive e-bike that's over $3,000 not everyone can afford that
Yup, it is a lot of money for an ebike, but inexpensive when you compare it to other ebikes like it. Most cost more and offer less. I also have a letric 2.0. It's also a nice ebike. I think they are on sale for $799 right now.
Why does everyone have to act so damn soft when talking about going 38 mph?
I think there are multiple reasons why people stay reserved on promoting that anyone should break laws. I would rather not assume responsibility because a 17 year old kid says my video that told him he could do 38 mile per hour and fell off and died as a direct result of the speed. Creators still have a responsibility when making videos. One to not end up being sued by family’s who want to blame them and two to not recommend people get into trouble by breaking laws. Well at least to not blindly lead them to get into trouble. It’s always best to say hey if you want to do 38mph that’s on you, but just know the laws of your location and state. Class 1, 2, and 3. While I may not agree with these laws on several basis, and if I recited why this response would be very long. It is still the laws and I want people to be aware you can get into trouble so check your laws because I am not assuming responsibility for those who don’t. I think thats sort of my take on it, but again someone can pedal 35mph but if it is electric.. then suddenly it’s illegal and a class 3 unless properly registered by the state which then changes where it can be ridden unlike the pedal bike. Hope that explains why people are soft on talking about getting out there and riding 38mph. I say if someone wants to assume full responsibility of that action then that’s on them, but as a creator in today’s world, you have to be careful of how you say some things.
Unless you own other eBikes, sounds like you bought the wrong one. 😮
I do own different ebikes. I would say the grizzly is by far the best out of the bunch. It's well rounded better than most ebike. I think a Talaria is on my future radar.
Garbage bike I have had tons of rear wheel flats even with tannus
Have u try range test with both motors and then with rear only?

Good review!
Love the bike so far, I get a lot of compliments riding it.
I had one guy who thought it was motorcycle lol.
It's hilarious, passing by other motorcycle riders, they look at my bike like "wtf is that thing?" xD
Regular bike riders are mad haters like " cheater! Wish I had one tho" xD
Everyone else is like "nice ride man!"
Always a fun day on the Grizzly.
I also get a wide variety of comments when out riding. Some good and some not so good, but it's a blast to ride. Lol
@@gearadventures So far I haven't had trouble with folks... yet lol. What was some of the bad experiences?
@PHANTOM just mainly running into Ken and Karen's that make dumb comments. There are a lot of people who still don't like electric bikes. Especially the grizzly because it looks like a moped, and they don't think it belongs anywhere. Lol Then you have people that love them and ask all kinds of questions.
Ive had mine since it came out, I pre-ordered it.. a few years now and it's unstoppable. I have had a few issues,. My Throttle control broke down but Ariel Rider naturally didn't have the part (What a surprise) marketplace
