Ariel Rider X Class 52 Volt Electric Bike Review & Test

[@joetothedirt]

Holy crap…this was the best review I’ve seen of ANYTHING, not just e-bikes 🤣. The layered edit for the different modes is brilliant!

[@ElectricRevolution]

Thanks man!

[@letmindco]

This bike is a beast! It reminds me of what Lectric did with the XP on its entry to market. So much bang for your buck with both of them. This my upgrade bike for sure!

[@SandaBoxing]

WOW, what an excellent review. Straight to the point with the TOP SPEED tests. Why can't most other channels figure this part out? Can't believe I've been wasting so much time with other channels that are full of fluff and just discovered yours. Going to come here first from now on.

[@ElectricRevolution]

Awesome!

[@enthos38]

Sweet! Just thinking of NY and visiting the falls today. Good times bro!

[@caguas97]

Mine got up to 41 mph on a flat road. I'm 6'1 and 230 lbs. This bike is a BEAST.

[@techontesla5284]

I’m 5 foot 11 I weigh 254. I just ordered mine today. I can’t wait. Looks like a lot of fun.😃

[@trini_boi2414]

This is a I want it now item..this bike hits the sweet spot it's not too fast to get you in trouble and it's not too slow..I think that price is sweet too for what you're getting..

[@letmindco]

Best real world range test out there. Thanks 👍🏿

[@andytennant4094]

I own this bike, it does not get 40 miles per charge and it certainly doesn’t get 70. If you ride the throttle and weigh about 180 lbs or so like I do and ride slightly uphill then down hill every day you get about 25-30 to a charge. It’s basically built to ride the throttle, unless you’re really short it hurts your knees to pedal and it doesn’t really do anything unless you’re in speed 1 or 2. You could possibly get 40 if you did pedal assist and kept it under 20 mph, 70 maybe if you’re small and keep it under 10. This thing cruises in the thirties though quite easily. I’m not complaining about it by any means, I know ppl who own the Super 73 and it is the same on range and costs way more, this is a comparable bike for a way lower price. The rear shock on the Ariel Rider kind of sucks but I’ve heard it can be upgraded for under $100. It’s a solid buy, I have 1200 miles on mine and so far haven’t had to do anything but new brake pads, will need a new rear tire soon.

[@franmarch]

You are right, I weight 155 plus the gear I am puting probably 165 pounds total. I got 40 miles range with a few hills in between. Mostly pedaling with a little help with the throttle for the up hills. I would say average speed was 20mph. I am pretty sure if I remove the hills from the ecuation I would get probably 50 mile range. I really like the bike but I think I am going to add a 2nd battery soon.

[@fackeyutub-emael6545]

The thing about these ebikes is that it costs $200-$300 to deliver these ebikes. So the kepler at $1799 is actually $1599 or $1499. Not bad at all

[@CRAZY-bi7fz]

I just paid 2600 for mine. It’s been five days still waiting

[@cesarmarroquin8818]

I just ordered mine. Shipment won’t begin until mid-August but I wanted to get it before the prices go up like Ariel Rider mentioned on their website. I’m stoked! Can’t wait 😁

I ordered the X Class 52V back in December should receive it at the end of the month (June). I have a modified RAD Rover 5 AWD(have put over 2,500 miles on it ) since I modified it. 750W Bafang motor rear , 1000W front (some Chinese brand ) its a tank . I'm Great for riding up and down the hills and trails (high torque 140nm) gets up to 30 mph top speed but the range sucks , only getting 32 miles with pedal assist 1. If I lived in a flat area I'm thinking I would get double that on 2x 20ah batteries, mind you, I live in a very hilly area , and not so nimble. Don't get me wrong it's a blast to ride with the modifications but very heavy (92 pounds) with 2 x dual batteries. Can't wait to get the very nimble 52V X-class. The metal gears and 52V battery are a plus . Already thinking about adding a second battery to get more range so I can ride into town and to the beach . Will be a very different experience and give me a second toy to play with.

[@RustyRoads]

X52 all the way 🤙🏾⚡🐾

[@michaelvonfriedrich3924]

Nice review bro!!! Well done!!

[@ElectricRevolution]

Thanks!

[@ClarkSpark77]

I love my 52v X-Class!

[@bennetthasty7886]

I haven’t bought it yet but I love it already 😍

[@seleneperez7322]

I love it!! I’m also 5’11” and I’ve been debating between this one and the D class that has the more upright position and cushy saddle, but I love the color and full suspension on this one. Any thoughts?

[@johnwilson7809]

I have the 48V X-class and love it. I'm 5"10" and really like the riding position. I did pull the handle bars all the way back. It gives me a slight bent forward riding position, but I occasionally just stretch my arms out a bit to sit straight up. My 48V will top out at around 32 to 33MPH on a flat surface with no wind. I just changed tires (rear tire has wear after 2000 miles) to the Vee road tires. MUCH quieter ride.

[@seleneperez7322]

@@johnwilson7809 Thanks for getting back with me John! The riding position was the only thing holding me back from buying the xclass! But after reading your reply I’m feeling pretty confident about buying! Now I’m torn between the 48v and the 52v! I don’t need anymore speed than what you get on the 48v, but the better suspension, tires and longer battery are very tempting on the 52v! It’s just a big price difference the $500! Thoughts? What kind of riding do you do?

[@JmieYoutube]

If you want a more upright riding position get a higher rise handlebar and ditch the adjust stem, easiest thing you can do to change the ride feel

[@johnwilson7809]

@@seleneperez7322 I do all street or paved trail riding. With mild pedaling, the 48V system goes 30 miles with 2 or 3 bars remaining (so 40% to 60% left if each bar is 20%). I'm not sure I can ride any further, LOL.

[@jkon156]

For larger people, use this metric. I am 6ft 2 and 250ish lbs. I average about 25-30 miles a charge, with a small amount of on road use, assist level 1 at 17mph on the paved trail most of the time. the range is a little over estimated for people my size but I'm still alright with it, gives me about 2 hours of riding after work. I will be going dual battery at some point in the future as I can't keep up distance wise with people either lighter than me, or with higher capacity. I drain batteries pretty quick.

[@ElectricRevolution]

Sweet! Thanks for the comment!

[@NubRusty]

I just picked one of these up brand new for $1700 =D Can't wait for it to be delivered.

[@ElectricRevolution]

Nice!

[@ridesharebiz5317]

This is a good presentation but I have decided to get a basic ebike. This moped bike seems to be small with the 20 x 4 tires, my opinion. The price is good but maybe in the future I'll get one.

[@torontorc4637]

Great review 👍🏽

[@luxuryxnoah2059]

Wow

[@takesomekb9998]

you should review the rideal ebike from Arial rider!

[@JackPineSavagest]

I believe you can make the x52 go up to 36mph if you up the pedal assist to 9 level settings.

[@johnwilson7809]

The pedal assist levels are not linked to top speed when using the throttle.

[@JackPineSavagest]

@@johnwilson7809 Sure, but some are getting speeds up to 36mph. Were you able to get yours up to 35mph? Just checking, I was bought a Himiway and they changed the motor output. They limited it to 28mph instead of 35mph... through the control settings. I have a x52 on the way and I hope they didn't limit the output!

[@johnwilson7809]

[@logandennis1601]

Is this bike easy to pedal while NOT using the throttle?

[@johnwilson7809]

Very easy. If the pedals are turning, the motor is driving the bike. You can put in as much, or as little, effort as you want. I sometimes "faux" pedal which looks like I'm actually pedaling but the motor is doing ALL the work.

[@seleneperez7322]

@@ElectricRevolution what? You still did not answer my questions :(

[@brandonchild1293]

Honestly I would go with this bike for off roading since you have front and back suspension, the D class is nice since you have two motors so you get all wheel drive. If you wanted the best of both worlds though you could spend more money for the grizzly.

[@seleneperez7322]

@@brandonchild1293 Thanks so much for your suggestion! Also the tires look built for pavement and off-road. I can’t afford the grizzly and the weight scares me haha! But I’m sure it’s incredible!
