Electric Street Racing in NYC | Ariel Rider X-Class Vlog Episode 15

On this ride, I head out to New York City's famous PEV drag race event hosted by the one and only John Angel. This was by far one of my favorite events I've been to and it's safe to say the PEV community is strong here.
Rides featured in this video:
Ariel Rider X-Class
Huck Stinger
Custom Electric Dirtbike
Custom Razor Electric Pit Bikes
Onyx RCR
Surron

My boy JB360 got redemption for the x-classes!! Frantic was a little too confident when he saw another x-class lol! You need to invest in another camera to place on the back of your bike since you are leaving everyone in the dust lol! Awesome races and awesome video bro! Can’t wait to ride again!

Seeing ppl enjoying themselves acting like human is also beautiful

[@tocatchthesun]

I’m glad I found your channel. I have a stock x class and I loved seeing what you did with yours. Awesome video! 🙂

[@JB360_NYC]

Thanks bro!

[@bronyx_dan]

Yo JB whats up? you a super cool dude, great to meet you. Im Daniel the guy with the stock Onyx. I met with John Angel and did some light tunning. can't do much until I eliminate the fuse or add the curcuit breaker. Great job on the X-Class, you smoked me. But like I said, ill be back!! (lol) so be ready to race again when you see me 😂.

[@JB360_NYC]

For sure brother! Was great meeting you and can't wait till the next one 🙌

[@christianlumberpondmachado4721]

Ok OK =, I finally get the 360.We just got our camera and thinking this looks familiar-ish. @ days ago friends birthday, now the arduous task of EDIT! Central Perk ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,ohhhhhhh yeah!

[@JB360_NYC]

Nice! The editing can be tiring but it's definitely fun to experiment when going through the footage.

[@paperkilling]

Hey Jeff, Matt here. It was nice meeting you. It was too bad I didn't get to race you. We would've been the only two modded Ariel riders at that race. We should ride together one day. I also live in Staten island.

[@JB360_NYC]

For sure man! Yea I think more and more modded X-Classes will start to show up 💪🏻. I was talking to Garush I'm down to ride for sure.

[@JB360_NYC]

Yea probably before I started Youtubing lol. DJ Soundz is the homie

[@JB360_NYC]

@@rolandroland1485 nice dude! So def go with the 3kw NB Power Motor kit and for the battery, I would suggest the 21ah Molicel triangle battery. Has a good discharge rate and you can push it past 50 mph while not using many volts.

[@frednurc4088]

More twilight rides to nowhere in particular please

[@kevingouveia301]

Awesome video man! What's your range with those 2 batteries? Thxs!

[@JB360_NYC]

With the 2 NB Power batteries I was getting about 30-35 miles with semi-aggressive riding.

[@adiamsanchezphotography]

Fun vids. Like the bike . I need to get a 72v. Mine tops at 37 throttle alone. I got bafang middrive 52v 28 ah. I want to be in 40s

[@JB360_NYC]

Yea 60V or 72V is the way to go with a higher amp controller. What bike are you riding by the way?

[@FatHulkRideEbike]

What was the guy running that passed you guys? That was insane. Great video, very fun to watch.

[@JB360_NYC]

Thanks! That was Jimmy's 84V Fly e-moped. I think it tops out at 95 lol.

[@Jayarea510]

What 360 cam do you have ?

[@JB360_NYC]

I have the Insta360 One X2

[@tommcgill1671]

the closed tunnel perfect for racing! Jonny and Janey Law can not see you from the ground or air, just brilliant. So stoked you are in the AR family. AR grizz V2 rider, now I want to hit 50 mph. Not all the time, just to know it's on the tool belt. ""you got ID?" hahhhaha cop car zero chance, Mr. Robocop, no sir, how can I help you? Excellent content AR 360 bro!!!

[@abbaby555]

Do you get caught in the rain much out there and how does your bike do in foul weather?

[@JB360_NYC]

I try not to ride in the rain when I don't have to. I've had a bad experience where some water got into my controller bag and my throttle was jerking and not responding. So now I carry a little rain proof cover for my controller bag.

[@AKFitness2525]

When do you guys do NYC ride outs and is there any big city take over coming this summer!?

[@JB360_NYC]

I'm sure there will be one at some point. I remember in the past, the scooter, esk8 and ebike groups collaborated for a big ride.

[@AKFitness2525]

[@manny8486]

Hey, What handle bars do you have? How do they feel? And do you use the sock stem? Thank you so much

[@JB360_NYC]

The one I have is this one Mountain Bike Handlebar 31.8mm 720mm Riser Bar Extra Long MTB Handlebar Fit for Most Bicycle, Road Bike, BMX, Fixie Gear, Cycling (Aluminum Alloy, Gold) www.amazon.com/dp/B081SVZMS2/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_FD21PWA92K5FWXGBDJ0E?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 As long as you get the 31.8mm thickness, it will fit the stock X-Class stem. The new bars are awesome and it feels more stable than the stock ones.

@@JB360_NYC do you find it uncomfortable to ride after some time?

[@JB360_NYC]

@@manny8486 In terms of comfortability the seat after an hour gets kinda uncomfortable. That's something I plan on switching out for a better one

What was that thing that shot passed you in the last races🤯🤯🏁🛵💨

That was a modified moped by Fly E-bikes...that thing was by far the fastest...he was also our camera man hehe

[@Leevan3]

yo how the hell did that fly bike smoke you at 48 miles per hour? i need one of those lol

[@JB360_NYC]

That's Jimmy's e-moto and that thing is a beast! He got an 84V battery with crazy acceleration. He has some secret stuff under the hood that's still a mystery lol. I think he mentioned one time he hit 80mph smh lol

[@dkodko11]

@@JB360_NYC Thanks! This is a nice helmet! Can't wait until I get everything and go riding! 😀

[@juniqueish]

Which is faster 3t or 4t

[@JB360_NYC]

From trying both, I feel the 3T is faster overall as you get better torque off the line. With the 4T you get decent torque and better overall top end speed so it's hard to tell. The 4T I believe uses less amperage while the 3T burns amps like crazy. So all in all 3T in one vs one race mainly because of the instant torque.

Describe x class for us

[@JB360_NYC]

So X-Class is the just the name of the bike from Ariel Rider. This modified version I ride is just the X-Class "chassis" in which we added a stronger motor, battery, and controller.

My bike is a Mario retro frame not a s73 z1 - Ima work on my launches haha
