I just maintained 36.6mph on a Grizzly, with the bike loaded to its weight capacity, on flat ground. You can be big, and this bike will still get you to many car speeds. I'm bringing this up because it was the selling point that made me pick this bike, but even with all of the videos, so few of them are heavy guys at top speed, so I wondered if weight would hold me back. With this bike, not so much.

I just took my first ride on my Grizzly V2 with the JB Seat like the one you got but mine was 20" long x 4" tall. For my 5'10" frame and 71-year-old knees, that wasn't tall enough. I cut the bolts off the original seat, which is only good for small or young people, and put it on top of the JB seat and that was the right height for me. But it needs to be wider to carry my Wide Load all day. Like a motorcycle seat. I'll probably sell my JB Seat and create something just right for me or maybe have JB do the job for me.

Great review by the way very detailed and I'm happy you're enjoying the Grizzly. I had my eyes on the Grizzly V52 last year on June 12, placed my order on that same day and it was suppose to be delivered to me on July 15. That delivery date was changed by Ariel Rider to a later date because of shipping issues. Then delay after delay for 4 months and still no delivery until finally I had to cancel my order. I was refunded my money in 2 days though and ordered a Sparks Cycleworks Bandit with dual batteries instead. And guess how long I had to wait for this order? Just one week and my Bandit was delivered to me without any issues through UPS. I'm really enjoying this beautiful eMoped and I have no regrets about this purchase.

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

i've actually contacted them trying to get one of these to compare it directly to our e-bikes and e scooter we have I think it would be a great comparison and a lot of people looking at x-52's and grizzly's would be interested in the bandit they are similar but the bandit wins in a few categories in my opinion so hopefully, I will get my hands on one soon.

I’m looking at either the Grizzly,Super73 or Onyx RCR. I will be using it as a commuter when I can. I live in Western New York so with snow always in winter I’m thinking maybe a Sur Ron or Taleria with beefed up snow tires. Although, can the Grizzly take bigger fat tires… also in my research the throttle on this is trash! Great bike (although those glitches got me worried…) for the money but it’s *essentially not a throttle… more like an ON/OFF switch!* With ebike regulations yet to be handed down they really need to not go cheap on the second most important thing besides brakes. There’s no step up control it’s like pushing a button and you probably have to use the modes as gears to switch while riding. Although they do make get a MAJOR POINT for making it a button and not some stupid app!!! Why some ebike manufacturers are making things harder on themselves is beyond me??? Also, maybe come up with an ebike that maybe has a legit key/alarm system with GPS would be an idea. I mean this gives China the perfect excuse to spy on us! Where are you when we need you China… find our ebikes Lol. Seriously, I don’t know what to get? I mean the Sur Ron will probably be banned by the time I got one. I’d prefer not to register anything because New York State doesn’t use lube with anything… they make it hurt 💴 💴 💴 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

The throttle is decent it works as a normal throttle not anything like an on off switch the sur Ron is a better more expensive bike but with out a pedal mod you will be drawing some attention especially in NYC you can put more aggressive tires on the grizz and people take them in the snow all the time I just think if you want an electric bike go grizzly if your looking for more of an off road monster and are will to spend the extra money get that sur Ron thanks for the comments and go sox's!

[@emaguigad]

Nice tips! Did you buy the insurance (Route Package Protection $89) when you bought yours? It covers loss, damage or stolen product during shipment.

38mph with me on it the range is a little tricky around 70ish miles in pedal assist and around 45miles without depending on how hard you are riding it. the batteries are removable and lockable You get 2 chargers with this bike so you can charge both batteries at the same time

Adam, I am 6'2" and 235 lbs. I have put 120 lbs. of air in the shocks and cranked on the preload. These shocks a way stiffer than the shocks on my Juiced Hyperscorpion. However, the Grizzly shocks do not have much travel, so they bottom out quite easily. Some Grizzly owners have changed the shocks. The Grizzly shocks are 10 inches which is a rare size in the aftermarket. The aftermarket shocks I see Grizzly owners use are 11 inches and based on the geometry of the bike this would raise the bike and increase the length of the pedal stroke. So, for heavier riders with longer legs, an aftermarket shock upgrade could solve a couple of problems.

I dont have any first-hand experience with that bike but I did take a look at it and the specs and for the money, you will be much better off in an ariel rider either x-52 or grizz the grizz has dual 1000watt motors so way faster than the biktrix also the much larger battery on the grizz will be better for larger riders looking for range and the 52v vs 48 v is more efficient so the grizz has the bitrix beat in every category. the x-52 from ariel rider is a great option when money might be a factor but if it was me I would buy the grizzly again for sure the dual battery and dual motor are big selling keys for me are there faster bikes out there yeah but for the money, this is a lot of bike and so far I have been happy with the customer service I have received from ariel rider I hope this helps please let me know if you need more info about something I will do everything I can to help

The tires on these have terrible traction for on roads. I slid and fell on the bike on a turn during my 2nd ride

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

yeah I would say stock tires are rarely good and these are no exception although so far they have worn well and been ok in wet and dry and off-road conditions thus far but when I wear these out I will surely be looking for a tire upgrade

[@ravenspe]

Throttle will do this to you as it goes from 0 to 100% causing tire spin.

[@VietPho]

@@ParkHopTillWeDrop let us know when you do upgrade the tires with something with more traction

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

@@VietPho will do. still kinda on the fence between a road tire or an off-road type tire the bikes see's a lot of time on paved roads but if I want to take it off-road I don't want to sacrifice traction.

Do you know what I have to do to reach faster then 32 mph? My grizzly stops at 32 33, I remember urs hit 35 to 36?

Are you using both motors? And I'm guessing battery is full

I'm waiting on mine its a v2, Im 6' & weigh 235, will I be able to get up to 35 mph ? What's ur weight if you don't mind my asking.

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

350 lbs and yes 35 should not be an issue for you on mostly flat ground you will want to be in dual motor mode as its a bit faster we find in single motor mode we average around 32mph and get into the 35-37 mph in dual motor thanks for the comment we hope you will consider subscribing as its the best way to support what we are doing

@@ParkHopTillWeDrop The comment wasn't about you. Your work is excellent thus far. It was about the bike and it's short comings.

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

@@martymart3476 there are a few no doubt what do you think the biggest flaw of the bike is? I think for a bike it makes good power the range has been good customer service seems to be lacking a bit and there are some cheaper parts used on these bikes the seat was horrible thankfully we fixed that and the motors are slightly noisy but they are metal-geared not nylon

@Nohkral 💯 percent I understand that. Thanks for commenting and let me know if you have any other questions. P.s ariel rider makes a mountain style ebike called the Kepler it's really awesome as well even for us larger riders

[@darrenfantom7827]

Que? You meant cue didn't you? Not even queue, bad spelling makes me think its a scam mate.

[@ParkHopTillWeDrop]

Thanks for pointing it out didn't even realize that I used the wrong verbiage. I'm not sure how my bad grammar leads you down a road to believing this is a scam. First off I've left no affiliate links in this whole video meaning I don't make one cent from this review in any way. It's just an honest review of an ebike that I personally own 2 of and, love very much. I do appreciate the correction but I don't appreciate you saying I'm scamming people I could honestly care less if anyone buys one of these the lack of good reviews on this from a larger person perspective led me to film this review, not for any other reason.

[@darrenfantom7827]

@@ParkHopTillWeDrop it's a typical Chinese mistake from fake sites ,not saying you are scamming . It's just me being careful and a bit of a dk.

@@darrenfantom7827 no problem lots of scams out there I get it but I live right in Florida and love to ride these bikes and if you are ever in the area let me know we will go hit some trails thanks for commenting back other than the horrible grammar and spelling I hope you enjoyed the video. And like I said I have no affiliation to Ariel rider so if someone buys one it doesn't affect me I just think for the money they are one of the best bikes out right now.

for the money without building your own this is one of the fastest yes you can build a faster bike but a lot pf people don't want that and yes there are faster bikes out there they are harder to come across of very expensive when you compare this bike to super 73 even spark cycle works bikes this one checks alot of the boxes

Sur Ron isn't really a bike it can be with a pedal kit and I'd like to test one never seen a big dude on one if I get my hands on one ill be sure to send some content out about it
