Ariel Rider Grizzly Unboxing & Assembly | 52 Volt AWD Ebike!

[@dryakattack]

professional mechanic tutor, amazing camera angles, covering every small detail down to the front wheel washer bolts.

[@RustyRoads]

Thank you brother, as they say; the devil's in the details 🤘🏽⚡ Appreciate the kind words 🐾

[@dryakattack]

@@RustyRoads you probably saved my bike because the videos I've seen talk all about the front motor and never mention about how to properly mount the torque arms. Small details go a long way. Thank you greatly

[@easyheimer]

Dude, you KILLED it! Such a well made video!

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks bro! Same to you 🤘🏽 AR fam ⚡🐾

[@omgnothingisavl]

Dang dude. UPS dude deserved a $10. I tip my guy for ridiculously big packages and they always really appreciate it.

[@RustyRoads]

Like if you used this vid to assemble your Grizzly 🐾⚡️

[@Yogib2537]

This is the best unboxing video I have ever seen. Thanks Mate. From Australia 🇦🇺👍

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks for the kind words mate 🙏🏽⚡🐾 Glad you enjoyed it and found it helpful! This comment means a lot, cheers!

[@noahman27]

Great video man. You are a really good teacher! Thank you for what you do.

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks so much Noah!! I enjoy making these!! 🤓⚡🐾

[@alaskatundrakid]

[@RustyRoads]

Congrats!!!!

[@stan121midling5]

[@grnpagaming9486]

By the way what a Masterpiece of a Guide! Thanks a lot! My Grizzly is coming and can’t wait! Liked and Subscribed!

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks so much for the kind words! Congrats on your new Grizzly by the way!! 🐾⚡🤙🏽

[@brucebeamon5460]

👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 EXCELLENT TUTORIAL. ...I will DEFINITELY refer back to this video when I receive my GRIZZEY , I haven't ordered yet but I'm 95% there , My 1st interest was the Mee e bike gallop Then the Super Monarch Crown caught my attention And then there was this and I knew this was the ONE ,HOPING to watch YOUR 1st ride of this and any other pertaining to this Ariel Grizzley even though I've probably seen nearly EVERY OTHER one of this e-bike , Once again GREAT JOB Sir

[@mr.e_from_nyc]

Love seeing Rusty… looks like he’s having so much fun

[@woodtickgreg6926]

Who don't like a new bike! You and rusty enjoy that new grizz!

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks Greg!! Appreciate the kind words!

[@seriouskite]

I've watched alot of un-Box reveals and this is well above the rest, Excellent content. My Grizz arrived yesterday, now I'm assembling. Was looking for charging content. When complete, I most def want to go for the Level 2, 20 mph LOCKED speed. Hahahah for sure to start I'm going mellow and the front tire spinner looks fun but aggressive for the rubber.

[@RustyRoads]

Congrats on your new Grizzly and thanks for the kind words!! After the first 3 rides (regardless of how long they are), charge your batteries for 12 hours straight. This will condition all of the cells, the BMS will prevent overcharging full cells Then do this about once a month for happy batteries Ride safe !!

[@Altema22]

"My friend didn't feel like helping" 😂😂😂

[@cybellaRob]

Great video. Really appreciate you covered everything in detail. Now I just need to buy one. They look very cool.

[@bivouaqc]

Dude I’m waiting for my bike to arrive today! I’m going nuts.

[@ErockRodz]

Awesome instructional video! Great production value, love the transitions!

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks E! Looking forward to your next video!! 🐾

[@ErockRodz]

@@RustyRoads always working to improve them! Not sure if you have checked out any of the recent group rides, but I name dropped you on my most recent video. 😆

[@alaskatundrakid]

Nice video, will be using this when my "Bumble Bee" gets here. Thanks for all the info on putting one together. Love the "Rusty" going for a ride, a little hard to take 3 toy poodles on a grizzle, but they can ride on the trike.

[@RustyRoads]

Sounds like you need a bike trailer 🤘🏽🙌🏽🐾

[@alaskatundrakid]

@@RustyRoads Now that is an idea I had not thought of, but I will be checking that out.

[@urmaker]

I had ordered one of these bikes not too long after watching your video and others. Ordered it in May and just got it. My biggest complaint, one friggin charger... It is now gonna take like 14-hours to charge it from dead. You also can't order one... Kinda bummed. Love the bike other than that.

[@ashpunting]

I do like these bikes a lot but the keep on putting the same handlebars on I would change them to ither the bmx or the protape handlebars and it's good to see you and Rusty on the bike again I've missed you bro 👊

[@RustyRoads]

Hey Rory! Yeah I think we'll be swapping the bars out eventually. I'm not tall enough to put enough weight over the front wheel with the stock bars 😂 🐾⚡🤙🏽

[@jpmyles1560]

😂 you know that dog is cool 😂.

[@ug9191]

Great vid. You know we want to see some drag racing!

[@RustyRoads]

Yes indeedyyyy ⚡🚀

[@Eskoxo]

got x-class wonder if could somehow get grizzly handlebars to use on it

[@willsmooth45]

I’ll sell you mine

[@Eskoxo]

@@willsmooth45 thanks but ended up getting Box 18-939K Alloy 31.8X7 Handlebar

[@Splices]

Yeee grizzly all the way !

[@riderx4039]

Right on! You always make great videos

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks X! We enjoy making these!! 🐾⚡🤙🏽

[@WildWiley1]

Just got my grizzly today and it came with one charger. Contacted customer service and they said the v3 comes with one since both charging ports are the same.

[@trini_boi2414]

Nice bike I always thought about getting one I just don't like how high the handle bars sit..coming from riding sportbikes I feel more in control with lower handlebars..I'll wait and see if they make any improvements on the next generation of this bike maybe I'll get one😀

[@RustyRoads]

It comes with an adjustable stem so you can lower the bars, and you can also flip and roll the bars to get a true cafe racer look/feel. We did it on our Grizzly and shared some pics 🤘🏽

[@taisan7928]

You’re the best. Thats why i bought the Grizzly…

[@RustyRoads]

Grizz fam!

[@AM-ob7yi]

You should use loctite on all the screws, nuts, and bolts

[@bosca8157]

Totally diggin' the instructional walk-thru. What is the length and width of the front fender in 7:38?

[@c2far1]

2 chargers? I bought version 3 and only received 1 charger !! What up Ariel” ?? Btw? Great video, very helpful !!

[@RustyRoads]

The V2 batteries had different ports hence the 2 chargers. V3 should come with 2 as well IMO

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Sure they didn't go back to nylon gears again? I had heard they were doing that.

[@RustyRoads]

They have with the new bafang motors. Due to Matsui /Hengtai being negligent on their end of warranty claims I believe was the reason for the switch. In other words it was a drawn out process to get replacement motors, claims started etc. Whereas the turn around time with bafang is fantastic. 🐾⚡

[@Michael-on6iy]

Is it safe to add a trailer to the rear axel for my kids to ride in?

[@RustyRoads]

Many have done it with no issues, although I do believe it voids the warranty, at least with related components

[@Lqviolin2]

do you recommend putting tire liners in or using a tire sealant?

[@RustyRoads]

Hi Wendy. I recommend liners, and carrying a patch kit, pump, tools and extra tube. Sealant can get messy but when it works it is clutch because it works quickly. If you look in the background during the unboxing you'll see I have some Tannus liners on deck 😎 Thanks for watching!

[@emaguigad]

Do you insure your eBikes in the event it gets stolen? If not, what types of security do you use to ensure it can deter thieves?

[@RustyRoads]

Air tags, and I don’t let it out of my site. Thankfully I can store it indoors at home and at work.

[@Derek_1974]

Wow, AR needs to break off some 💵 to you. This assembly vid link should be in the manual. 💯

[@phuckinggraphicdripdotcom]

Three questions for ya. 1. Do and how do you carry your bike up and down the steps, to go riding? 2. is it dangerous or bad to have the bike on the charger longer than the need time? 3. what is the size of the box? reason asking these questions is i will be buying one soon. I am going to have to carry the bike up and down stairs to my apartment. I hope like anything else these days, that the battery and charger know when to shut off the power to charging when the batteries are full. and i hope my friends mid sized car can transport my bike to me when it arrives

[@RustyRoads]

Hey Daniel, thanks for watching. 1. Thankfully my building has another entrance on the other side that requires no stairs. Delivery drivers always go to the other wide though. It's much easier to carry after you remove the batteries btw! 2. The BMS (battery management system) does prevent overcharging, however keeping it plugged in for extended periods should be avoided unless conditioning the battery(s) 3. I'd estimate the box is 3.5 by 5 feet. I don't think it will fit in most cars Congrats on your new bike!!

[@brucebeamon5460]

Thank GOODNESS I have a well worn 2005 Dodge Dakota that it will fit in .need be the case but hopefully the driver will drop it at my Garage at the back of my CORNER HOUSE If not I'll figure it out , I did have one question how long from the click of the on line sale did it take to arrive I know it wss a week from when they responded by e mail to you , A month ,couple weeks or less me understanding there will be a difference depending on o we location to there plant where they are made

[@jab0321]

I have a Kasa smart plug that I use when charging my bike battery. You can set a scheduled time for it to start and turn off so you don't have to worry about leaving the battery on the charger for too long. Works great.

[@davidnikulka1437]

Shure would be nice to here lowd and clear how long it takes to charge those batteries ! Running time I heard was 52 hours what ever Miles or KLM's?

[@theethnicist5678]

😅😂🤣 Rusty's a really cool lil' dude.

[@SaVids8]

wow it looks so nice

[@360woodierc]

How are you liking this to the xclass 52? I like the riding position on this but don’t really need dual motors but like the dual batteries.Not to many hills here in Vegas.

[@RustyRoads]

Not a huge fan of the riding position so I'll probably swap out the bars at some point. The second motor helps in more than just climbing hills though, it adds so much torque it can be used like a turbo boost button lol Love it !!

[@360woodierc]

@@RustyRoads right on man thanks.

[@MoniJohnson]

So many stairs! You should have saved the effort and just shipped the bike to me.

[@RustyRoads]

😂🙌🏽

[@neo57611]

So just need to confirm steel geared motors? Or nylon gear.....someone else said bafang made nylon geared. Is there any information to confirm.....

[@RustyRoads]

They are Bafang now, and have nylon planetary gears. Custom made for AR controllers for higher torque output. The previous motor supplier; Matsui dropped the ball in regards to honoring valid warranties when their motors failed. Essentially ghosted AR 🤦🏽‍♂️ Additionally the Bafang motors have a better track record, although IMO the previous motors were a tiny bit more punchy. I like this trade off but both would be best!!

[@neo57611]

@@RustyRoads understood thank you

[@neo57611]

One other question Juiced bikes don't manufacture a duel motor bike is there a reason? Seems like torque is the only reason to have a duel motor bike for steep hills. Speed is pretty much the same with duel motor. Am I correct?

[@RustyRoads]

@@neo57611 Yes, but acceleration is funner that top speed for most folks. The Grizzly in AWD pulls like a dirt bike damn near 🤘🏽

[@andyhuerta5213]

Hello. Can I ask a question plz. I received my grizzly i'm installing the front wheel. After tightening the front wheel should it spin freely? Because after Tightening bolts on front wheel it is tight to spin is this normal?

[@RustyRoads]

It should feel like the rear wheel 👍🏽

[@andyhuerta5213]

What if it doesn't? It's very hard to turn.

[@tommcgill1671]

I got my Grizz V2 on 4/13, now I wish I saw this video before my installs. The BEST un boxing to date for this Bike. I know the time-line did not pan out. Shreddie got the credit. So 450 miles and my Grizz rear motor has zero power and pedal Assist is non-functioning. Display has thrown the Code error 08H. I have the proper form with not so Zen Zendesk. 9/22 at 12:33 pm. I am only awaiting procedures because I do not want to void the warranty. So far I only hear crickets as I am desperately seeking HELP! I apologize, but I notice the squeak did not work the first time around ( damaged battery from shipping)AR Zendesk took two weeks to finally get a call from AR Tech dept. Steven Stuart. And a month call it mid May to go back and forth e mail pictures etc. AR has an excellent bike, we have 6 others that are ok but I am addicted and ruined by this GRIZZLY V2.. Was going to purchase the SEA beez (yellow) V3 but the brakes are on literally. Leaning big towards Sur Ron, pick up in Irvine or or Luna direct. I know you may bump into an official or two from AR. I need procedure and protocol, to not Void the warranty and Tech help. Not the Gerald J past and cut letter "Can we have your battery serial number?" See how this can get a customer who is anxious, nervous and just wants to ride with my KoKo a bit bitter. I am addicted to riding the Grizz. Anyway in closing any help. a nudge. a push in the direction of Tecjh., The front line support staff are professional Apologizers. Now I say sorry, hope I can make it up to you with a low-tide ride on the Ventura, CA sands and then go Venturakiteboarding.com Invite a friend as well. I'll bring my wife additional camera for content. Thank You Michael. Bring Rusty and We always take KoKo 9lbs of love.
