1 Yr 1000 miles Ariel Rider Grizzly V3 Review / Must have Version 4 Upgrades

[@corywebb5537]

I've been riding stand up kick e-scooters. For a few years and I've always really liked this e bike.But the spoke situation is a little Concerning so I'll wait to see what they do about it

[@josephpuchel6497]

Hey yes solid wheels thinner 5 or 6 spoke , brighter taillights , brake and turn signals.

[@jpmyles1560]

I have a grizzly v3. It’s a nice bike. But yeah you’re right about all that stuff.

[@tonyholmes9024]

I have an x52 and love it. However i just brought a Goat 60v, 2 20ah batteries,mag wheels, fromt and rear blinkers,key start, app, longer seat and goes 40 plus for 1200.00 less.

[@gearadventures]

Nice, yeah the goat looks like a great bike. Has all the check marks for sure. How is the power? There are few company’s doing all the right things. I feel like the Goat power bikes made a great move with V3 goat.

[@tonyholmes9024]

The Goat is coming at the end of April. I paid 2500.00 with the rear rack and sissy bar and extra battery. I was hoping to get another AR but I couldn't let that deal pass. You were spot on with the upgrades AR needs to do. Plus it comes with 4 piston 203 rotors. Cosmetically AR looks better to me though. I'll know soon though

[@gearadventures]

@@tonyholmes9024 yeah I think it will be awesome. Honestly I would take the goat over the grizzly v3 after looking at all the stats and accessories it comes with. Really can’t beat it for the price.

[@tonyholmes9024]

@@gearadventures Yeah that's why I rolled the dice. I can't understand how anyone would buy a Super 73. I know the design is nice but.....pricey AF

[@mrninesixteenth3106]

I really like the upgrades you ask of ARIEL Rider for the Grizzly v4. I want more power/speed out of my v3 already. So 45-50ah with 72 volts would be Super Awesome!! Ive had a v3 for 18 months but, I'd buy a new v4 for the Mag wheels and power/range upgrades alone. One addition would be great for the speeds achieved here is a LOUD electric horn instead of the old Good Humor ice cream bell. WTH would they do that?!

[@emily_dover]

Great review!!

[@gearadventures]

Thank you

[@VietPho]

Can you recommend a tutorial video on the maint work for regreasing the hub motor gears and what to look out for asfar as wear on the nylon gears?

[@METALHEADNYC]

Almost to 1,000 miles myself. Great experience so far! I added turn signals, but the horn sucks xD Definitely wish the batteries were a bit more powerful for sure. Overall, turn signals, a legit horn, and more powerful batteries.

[@gearadventures]

Yeah more battery and range would help for sure. Especially with seeing all these 60 amp hour batteries coming out now. That on a 60volt system would get some great range

[@Marvin-fn7ks]

We have 2 2021 xclass bikes . I switched out the rear shocks on both . I still think the suspension is not that great. Seat is too hard and too wide at the front. Range isn’t close to advertised. I use level 1 assist with more on a couple hills but at 30 miles it is near empty. Otherwise they have held up well .

[@anacondahugs808]

🐍 My V2 spokes come loose & click often also. I was thinking of changing them out to thicker spokes. Maybe getting it professionally tried then locktight might work.

[@GorillaSmokeUSA]

They need the RAEV bike seat. That seat is heaven.

[@studiotessellate]

Do you own on e? I test drove the GTX and was supper comfy on a flat smooth street

[@WanderWiseley]

Hmmm..very similar to my video..

[@gearadventures]

Nice, I will have to check it out. When did you post?

[@gearadventures]

I found it. The short on tires, mags, seat. I commented on it. I agree those would all be great upgrades.

[@randallhack4477]

Dual direct drive motors, 17 cell strings to make 62.9v nominal and top speed of 50 mph would make this bike relevant again. As current specs are 3-4 years old buying this now would be a poor choice.

[@loneeagle8574]

Who wants to wipe out at 50mph on a low quality ebike. Just buy a motorcycle if you want that kind of speed. These types of ebikes will soon be illegal to ride on bike paths soon because of complaints of speed and insurance will be required. This could be a good ebike if made with some of the improvments mentioned in the video.

[@lowstaar]

​@@loneeagle8574 Who is complaining? Seem like even pedestrians are accepted on the bike paths.

[@studiotessellate]

I am on the market for something similar, what would you recommend on today's market?

[@hassandjhaboogiespin4550]

Everything you Spoke of, i hasnot Experienced yet??. and Definitely Donot Wanna Experience🙀, i has Version 4”, bought my bike in Oct 2024, i just Rides from Home to Work myself, i honestly hopes my Tires that Came w/ Bike is not … One of the Reasons for of my Recent Accident on My Grizzly, Where Bike Lost Traction and i Broke my Wrist,😿, i was doing 37mph, White lines in Streets are bikers Worst Enemy, 😮, i am Recovering, i might get Some Beefier Tires?? i am Considering,🧐, tell em What u Thinks????

[@gearadventures]

@@hassandjhaboogiespin4550 I put on HEB Allscape tires on mine and they seem to be good tires.

[@brandonboss6868]

Spokes coming loose? That sounds sketchy.

[@En4cer2K9]

After buying the Lyric Graffiti (which is a legit 40ah), it makes me wish my X-Class was dual battery (but NOT dual motor, like the Grizzly) OR just had one super large battery integrated into all that unused frame space.

[@gearadventures]

Yeah I think the new e-bike the goat V3 has a kit you can buy with it that is 60ah. I would like to see the X class go to a 60volt for better efficiency and 40ah. I think the goat is what the X class needs to top in the next version.

[@patriciasequeira4722]

How fast does it go

[@gearadventures]

@@patriciasequeira4722 around 37mph when you unlock it.

[@patriciasequeira4722]

@@gearadventures thank you

[@hassandjhaboogiespin4550]

Wishes the battery Could handle the peddle Asst and Rear Battery’ Usage… just a little more?? Better😮, 😮‍💨🤨😭, i loves The Grizzly just bought mines in October 2024, 🎉😊, 31 mph i was Flying on this Bike!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥, just been Riding to work & home, i left batteries on Even though power was Off😂🙄😮‍💨, Rushing to job office

[@hevo4l900]

What does rims being true mean?

[@gearadventures]

Proper tension on each spoke to align the rim perfectly. Each spoke can pull area of the rim left or right.

[@Flyingaceful]

V4 needs front and rear signals. Don't shortcut SAFETY!!!

[@gearadventures]

Yeah , they need to make sure they are led and visible. A lot of e-bikes have them now but you can really see them in day light.

[@tdhjim1]

Absolutely! I put Carry Bright wireless ones on mine. I attached the rear ones to my saddlebags to space them out further. A long Christmas-tree clip through the existing belt hole a 2” piece of gas line around the clip to hold it in place, and make it thicker to hold the light. Works like a charm, and nothing to rust

[@kmnjkmnj6190]

My grizzly gets a flat all of the time - I hate it

[@gearadventures]

Sorry to hear that. That would suck. Wonder if one of the spokes is poking through the tape around the rim.

[@kmnjkmnj6190]

I can’t see anything- I HATE my bike - I just carried it almost a mile as you can’t push it when rear tire has no air - wanted to just leave it on the road I was so angry

[@whobeube]

I like your vids and reviews alot. Watched all a few times and all others on the grizzly. Been doing as much research as possible going to be getting a grizzly this summer In the next couple months with Alot of extras. But I would like to hold out for the V4 , they won't tell me when it's coming out. Have you or anyone else reading this know anything. I do know if we change out any main parts on the bike like the sprocket for the higher speed pedaling and shocks it voids any warranty. Of course. But that's expected. Anyways thanks for all the input. And would love to chat with you and others about the bike. That would be awesome. I am on the west coast in oregon so I plan on goin up to there facility to pick up my bike.

[@gearadventures]

Thanks, yeah I would hold out for the V4 for sure. They are trying to sell through all their V3 stock right now with sales. I would expect we should be seeing something very soon. April is prime time for e-bike sales. That will be really cool to view their facility and get to meet some of them in person.

[@jasonsworldnow]

interesting

[@GorillaSmokeUSA]

The Ariel seat is horrible.

[@gearadventures]

@@GorillaSmokeUSA yeah the AR stock seat is junk for sure. The JB seat I got for it is a good seat. Anyone who buys a grizzly has to plan on buying a custom seat for it. Hopefully they update the seat on the V4. I actually going to be doing a review soon on a bike very comparable to the grizzly at half the price.
