Ariel Rider X-Class Step-Thru Electric Bike (52V 1000W) - Detailed Review

[@katemudge1390]

Great review. I was on the fence about this, but am now sold! I live on gravel roads and have been looking for a bike that's a good fit. Thank you!

[@UncleBucks]

You're welcome!

[@outdoorztime2923]

Nice bike, Brett! You did a good review on it. I guess I'll be sticking with my Kodiak for now. It's still pretty new. I do see there can be advantages with one of those electric bikes, though. P.S. you might want to get your "THANKS" tab on your page eventually.

[@UncleBucks]

Thank you sir! I'll hang on to my ATV as well. The bike is nice for a few different uses but not all of them. I don't know what you mean by a "thanks" tab... on KZbin? Please advise...

[@coolshariq]

I freaking love this bike 👍👍👍 i have blue step thru version worth every penny so much fun.

How have repairs been? Most morried about

[@UncleBucks]

No breakdowns yet, and there no repairs needed, and it's about one year later as I write this.

[@gi0tv_vibes]

Should we replace the rear shock any brand recommendations?

[@UncleBucks]

I plan to upgrade the shock in mine, but I'm not too excited to spend $100+ for it. I don't have a particular one to recommend, but there's a number of videos out there of other dudes who have already replaced their shocks. Thanks for watching & commenting!

How tall are you?

Just dont full throttle on the hills, it wastes energy. find the sweetspot for whatever hill your on to get you to the top. And help as much as you can on hills, sweat yall.

[@UncleBucks]

I usually ride just as you described, but wanted to see how far it is capable of going all on it's own.

[@jslllppspp]

Only 17 miles is a bummer.

[@UncleBucks]

I agree but I usually never need to go that far without being able to charge it up, and you certainly would go further by peddling some or not going full throttle the whole time.

Range sucks

[@pulldpin67]

That really is a very loud bike... might be a deal breaker for me... Sounds like it could be very annoying.

[@UncleBucks]

The knobby tires contribute to the noise on pavement but yeah, I was expecting the motor to be much more quiet. I may have passed on buying it for this reason also.
