Ariel Rider X-Class ✪ Review & Comparison ✪ X52 & X48

[@swervedriver5260]

This is the most comprehensive review of any e-bike. Thorough, well researched, honest, and incredibly informative. I purchased one and in large part thanks to you Michael. You need to get paid. Thanks again bro.

[@RustyRoads]

Hey Swerve! Thanks so much bro this means a ton! There's definitely a difference between a review and 1st impression IMO. Glad you found this informative, and hope it answered any questions you might not have thought of yet!⚡ Soon you'll have yours as well! 🐾

[@phuvapaisalkijface]

Just got my 52 V but disappointed with thumb throttle in stead of hand throttle that not make sense

[@RustyRoads]

@@phuvapaisalkijface Congrats! Thankfully its only $20 or so to replace the thumb with a twist! Cheers!!

[@swervedriver5260]

@@phuvapaisalkijface My 48v also came with thumb throttle. I was thinking about replacing it, but after cruising around I might just hold on to it for a while. I'm going to order the twist throttle just in case, but for now I'm actually enjoying it.

Thanks for this excellent top-quality review. I got the Rad Runner Plus recently and love it as an all around utility ebike. However, the RR+ will become my wife's bike and I am going to pull the trigger on getting an X-Class 48v after watching this review. I might regret not getting the 52v later for that little extra umph and no throttle delay, but I don't want to be going much faster than the RR+ when riding together, and saving $500 is appealing too :-). Like the other commenters mention this is a 10 out of 10 review of both X-Class models, and I appreciated the honesty and all the little details like crank shaft length, etc. I was curious about the performance differences of the x52 vs. x48 - but you you answered all my questions and more.

Great comparison video. I have the 48V X-Class and love it. 1 of your dislikes was the height of the bike. I would rate the height as a "like" since I feel that it makes me easier to see from a car's perspective. Of course I'm 5'10" and can put both feet on the ground at a red light, so there's that too. But thanks for the great video.

That's a great point about visibility! I think 5'10 is the sweet spot height for the X-Class for sure. I'm considering getting a lower custom saddle to help 😅 Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words 🐾

[@orson347]

I await the delivery of my X-Class 48v with great anticipation. Given my age (74), I think that for the kind of riding I do the 48v will be perfect. There are 85 miles of paved bike paths where I live in Rochester, MN alone and many others in various towns around me. Your video comparing the two X-Class models was extraordinarily comprehensive and anyone with any questions just needs to watch this video and those will be answered and more. My only concern is that I am 5'11 and hope I can get a decent pedal extension. I know AR is releasing seat riders later this summer and I am probably going to change the handlebars with 6" BOX BMX bars. I know you went much higher, but my concern is the cabling. Keep up the great work and I am happy to be a subscriber!

My Rad bikes are similar where the last few notches in the battery always give far less output than the first!

[@fernandobarrientos5196]

Would the step thru version be comfortable for 5’5” person? Does this bike have a feature where you can turn off the power of the bike without having to take off the battery? I have this feature on my rad runner plus, where I can turn off the power by turning the key 🔑 on the battery

I still own a Yamaha XT225 which has a seat height that I can put both feet down. Anxious for our 2 52’s to arrive. We were November ordered so we have a good chance by mid June.

[@BNKTG]

Looking for my 1st ebike... I can't afford to make the wrong choice. I was thinking about ordering a Juiced RipCurret, but after this review I'm leaning towards the X-Class. My problem is I'm hung up on wanting torque vs cadence PAS. I've seen some comments where people have a hard time adjusting the feel of cadence assist. Also some saying it's hard to peddle slower than 10mph because of this. What are your thoughts on the X-Class PAS? Thanks for the great video!

[@RustyRoads]

Hi Brad, thanks for watching and for the compliment! Pedaling from a standstill using assist with the x-class can be fairly easy if the Shimano drivetrain is in a lower gear. I keep mine in 7th gear which makes it difficult to pedal from a start but I've gotten used to a slight bump of the throttle to get going and then I pedal and it pretty much has no effect on my range. Also to consider for below 10 mph pedaling. If it's flat ground you may just want to cut off the assist completely and downshift to about 3rd or 4th gear and you can Cruise doing 10 to 12 miles per hour easily with no assist. I'd suggest joining an Ariel Rider and Juiced bike Facebook group to see if anyone local to you is willing to let you test ride their bikes. It's a pretty awesome community and most people are dying for riding partners so you'll be surprised how many will offer to let you test ride their bike ❤️

[@BNKTG]

I really appreciate you taking the time to reply. You're Aces. Great suggestion regarding reaching out to a local community.... Duh... Why didn't I think of that? :)

[@robertmaxa6631]

I like the handlebars of the "X" class, and the power of the Grizzly. The seat, looks like the same seat used on the Grizzly. I watched one video,where the content creator complained about seat comfort. I did notice one can get an aftermarket seat, that's a bit wider.

[@RustyRoads]

I can happily say that after borrowing one of the new color grizzly for the weekend that the saddles now come with softer foam than previous versions. I normally start shifting my butt around 20-25 min into a ride, but with the softer foam I was fine for the entire day! Cheers

Was upset for the whole 6 min it took me to order it 😂 But yes I definitely can see why some would be pissed. On the other hand people keep asking for more and AR is delivering quickly.

[@seleneperez7322]

Hello Rusty Roads! I’m in awe at your amazing review- so entertaining, so informative. I need your help in deciding which bike to go with between the xclass 52 and the Dclass, I love the color, suspension of the xclass, and in the Dclass I love the upright position and the more comfy seat. For me the power in the 52v is more than enough, I don’t need the dual motors of the Dclass, but I do have a very sensitive low back and the aggressive forward position of the xclass does scare me! Do you think if I changed the handlebars on the xclass for bmx upright style ones that I’ll get the comfortable upright position I’m looking for? Also, I’m pretty tall at 5´11 “ As soon as I hear back from you, I’ll put my order in! Thanks soooo much in advance. Also open to any more thoughts from your viewers:)

[@RustyRoads]

Hi Selene, thanks ! That means a lot ! We had fun making it and look forward to more bike reviews ! You can definitely swap out for higher bars on the XClass, we have a video where we put 9" BMX bars on our red 48V! Also, considering your back sensitivity, you should consider how much the weight difference between the bikes will affect your ability to manuever/pick it up etc. The rear suspension I"m sure will help with you back as well.

Like everyone here I’m incredibly excited to get my bike! Will be closer to the Fall when that happens and that’s perfect cause I don’t like being in the heat very much ;) As far as weight goes, I hadn’t even considered that regrading the difference between the bikes and my low back!

It’s nice these bikes comes with hybrid plastic/metal gears. But in the video it sounds like your saying these gears give more power and torque but what they actually do is allow for the use of a higher power/torque without breaking or stripping like a nylon gear would do.The actual metal gear itself does not provide more power,just handle it better than nylon.

[@RustyRoads]

Agreed. End result is what you said, plus being able to run the motors at peak output for longer. Helpful on really long hills ! 🐾

[@zman2486]

Have you ever used the “walk“ function? Do you think this can be used for slowly bringing the bike up a flight of stairs or maybe a ramp while you’re walking next to it?

[@RustyRoads]

With a ramp yes. The 52 might go up without a ramp due to the extra torque. I've only used walk mode when near crowds but not for stairs. With the battery removed it's light enough for me to carry it up stairs, my only issue is I'm not tall so it's still difficult. Thanks for watching!!

Links to all gear at the bottom of the description 🤙🏾 Thanks for watching! 🐾

[@jimjr9143]

You mention the cassette being 14-28 tooth. I sent an email to Ariel rider about that because the description of the bike says 11-42 tooth cassette. While going into bike components it shows 14-28. That one concerned me as I would pedal assist a lot so 11-42 would be nicer for that. They sent me an e-mail saying it comes with 11-42 tooth cassette. What did yours come with?(52v x class) . Another concern was the display. No voltage available to see is big to me. The display that comes with the grizzly should also be included on at least the upgraded x-class for sure(52v version) I would also far prefer a 56 tooth chain ring instead of 48. That paired with a rear 11 tooth allows you to pedal assist really well at higher speeds (28+ mph) I have watched a few ebike videos of another brand that used a small chain ring and 14tooth in the rear and they could not pedal assist much after 20mph as they had to spin the pedals way to fast to be of any use. All in all a very good , detailed comparison. And I agree. Quite a good deal for what you pay. For Ariel rider e-bikes. In all honesty I want the grizzly. Sadly above my budget.

[@RustyRoads]

Hey Jim thanks for the feedback and for watching. I wondered about this while making this video and reached out to Ariel Rider and was told 14-34. The Grizzly is amazing but the X52 will put a nearly smile on your face ! 🐾

Also, the X52 is lighter, just as quick/fast, and has less components that can fail. Both are fantastic options, check out the Ariel Rider owners club on FB for tons of info and comparisons!! 🐾

Best review I have seen yet! I just have a few questions. So to start off I am 5 9 would this be large enough for me? Also I am probably going to go for the 48v as $500 is a pretty big price for a couple upgrades. I was looking to purchase the 48v around November-December, do u think it would still be available around that time? Also how well do you think a d-lock would work on this? And how easy would it be to upgrade the display and get a lcd display with battery percentage? And sorry last thing lol would you think I would be able to get around 26 miles of range if I were going 24mph? If not when would u think the extra batteries would be in stock again? Thank you so much for your time and ypu earned a sub for this awesome review!

[@marlenc3084]

Also with the price points somewhat similar which would you recommend, the 48v or the aventon aventure?

[@RustyRoads]

5'9 is an ideal rider height for the X-Class. The Aventon looks very nice however, I don't have any experience with that model 🤘🏽⚡🐾💥

[@friedguyfriedguy]

I am really consider buying one of these but am worried I will be to short for it . I am 5'4 with about 26 inch leg seam...do you think this biike would be too tall?

[@RustyRoads]

You and me are the same size ! Go for it if you're already used to leaning on one leg while stopped on a bike. You'll love it!

[@tubemoozful]

tremendous video where can I buy those mirrors?

[@RustyRoads]

Thanks Martin!! Link to the mirrors is in a long list of gear in the description 🤙🏽 🐾⚡

[@jacobmanrell1862]

would this be a good bike for an uber eats food courier? looking for it to last 6ish hours? as well i am 5'8 do you think it will be a good height for me? my legs are about 30 inches long

[@jacobmanrell1862]

as well would level 2 power with peddling make the battery lost longer?

[@RustyRoads]

Perfect for deliveries! 5'8 is a perfect height for this bike btw Overall range will depend on speed, hills and how much you pedal. It could last 6 hours at slower speeds Cheers 💥🤘🏽🐾⚡

this video is excellent thank you, you do the grizzly too?

Thanks HDB ! If they send me one I'll be happy to review and compare it 🤘🏽 Thanks for watching 🐾

[@antdelvechio491]

Awesome review just be careful lane splitting or limit doing that . don't draw more attention to yourself then you have to and ruin it for the rest of us by giving ebikers a bad name

[@ricardoarcelay73]

What's the range on the x-48?

[@RustyRoads]

Yo Philly! Usually averaged 35-45 miles depending on elevation, speed and amount of pedaling 🐾

[@Trillville43]

Has anyone changed the display?

[@RustyRoads]

Not without frying something 👀

[@Trillville43]

@@RustyRoads is it that hard to find a compatible display?

I’m 6’4 would this be comfortable to ride or should I get the grizzly

[@RustyRoads]

Hey TB! Depending on how long your legs are it might be uncomfortable to pedal, however I believe EbikeNoob is taller and rides an XClass. Check out his videos ! 🐾

[@gwangelo]

Rusty, what is the speedometer app your using in the video?

[@RustyRoads]

Hi Geoff! I can't remember the name but the link is down at the bottom of the description 🤜⚡🤛 Thanks for watching!!

[@gwangelo]

@@RustyRoads I'm expecting my 52v in October since it's backorder. I'm researching mods. Biggest problem is many of us are trying to figure out how to install a USB hub for accessories. If you know of a solution, that would be a greatest hits video. Just a suggestion.

[@theallmightyisblack3339]

Can you put a 52v battery on a 48v ?

[@RustyRoads]

Yep! Using a battery blender makes it easy! Check the files section in this FB group for a great tutorial on how it's done includes links as well I believe facebook.com/groups/906613363426000/?ref=share

Hey, I love your videos. They are entertaining as well as being super-informative. Would you share your inseam length? I'm 5'8" and my inseam is 28." It seems like I might be able to barely get both feet on the ground if your inseam in less than 28." Thanks, in advance.

Hey jim, thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! You should be fine; I'm 5'4 and inseam is about 26'" ⚡🤘🏽🐾

[@jillroyer7104]

Does anyone know if you need a motorcycle license to ride one of these.??

[@RustyRoads]

You do not. However, I believe a lot of this depends on where you live since it's currently the wild wild West of the ebike era 🤠 🐾⚡

[@Paintballislife06]

Could either class handle close to a 40 mile round trip commute?

[@RustyRoads]

I believe so ! Considering we got nearly 36 miles on our throttle only 20mph range test I can see it going 40 with pedaling, Although it would be close if you're going full speed

[@maggreaser8247]

I'm 6'3, would I be able to fit this e bike?

[@RustyRoads]

Yes, pedaling might be tight though. I'd suggest an aftermarket long saddle so you can scoot back to have more leg room. Cheers !!

[@mouahmong]

Hey quick honest question. What is your height? My wife is 5' and we might end up getting a refund on our S73 S2 due to manufacturing defects that they haven't been able to remedy. Was wondering if it would feel too big/tall for riders around the 5' mark?

[@RustyRoads]

Hey Mo ! Congrats on managing to get that refund !! 5' might be a stretch, I'm 5'4 and Lisa is 5'2 You can see me on my tip toes here lol 25:25 Dislike - Height

[@Darius116]

Thanks for the great review brother! I've got a question, since I'm going to be getting my Black 52v this month, I'm so excited. I believe mine is being shipped with the thumb throttle instead of the twist. Do you know if I'll experience the same throttle delay as the 48v? Or will the throttle response be about the same as a 52v with twist?

[@RustyRoads]

It will be the same, all X52s should have the same throttle response regardless of throttle type. Also, you can get a half twist for yours for $20 on Amazon. Takes 5-10 Min to replace⚡ I'm thanks for watching! 🐾

[@son8620]

Which is better x-class or d-class

[@RustyRoads]

I love them both but prefer the lighter X-Class with the dual suspension 🤘🏽 🐾⚡
