HEAD TO HEAD SHOWDOWN! | * Ride1Up Revv1 VS Ariel Rider X-Class *

[@xcodychaosx]

This video really shows you how wide the wheel base is on the revv1 I dig that alot as im 6'4" im excited to see some 72v revv 1s

[@jpmyles1560]

Got the grizzly v3 no problem’s for over a year. Got the X class step thru 6 months no problems

[@ridesharebiz5317]

Great comparison and presentation. I'm a professional cyclists too. I always wear a full-face helmet when riding and testing Class 3 ebikes; especially over 30mph. Plus, wearing elbow and knee pads won't hurt too. Enjoy and stay safe.

[@wayne_right]

Revv1 for me. Looks wise and they just added a Boost mode that increasss the amps for more torque. Mines on the way!

[@xpndblhero5170]

I like the Ride1up, it just looks the part and I could probably get away w/ the hard tail.... Besides it's all black and it would be perfect for me. 😁🖤

[@cncpyro]

The reason the MPH is off is because you have to change the TIRE SIZE of the bike in the settings portion using the little screen. set it down from 24 to 22 and you will GET AN ACCURATE reading of MPH. Cheers. This is for the Ariel Rider.

[@jeremycline9542]

Today on the revv1 I had to almost stop on a steep hill b/c of a truck but in PAS 5 I was able to keep going and make it up. Pretty amazing for such a heavy bike carrying a heavy guy.

[@zerokool-2058]

How much you weight ? I’m 220lb and looking for an e-bike.

[@dinobat1162]

thx for your advice on the xclass 52v a few months back, i literally dont even take my car to work anymore lmao! I live in rural tx and it eats up the hills

[@360woodierc]

We know the new rev1 has a higher top speed than the Ariel and since both easily go over 30 I was looking forward to an acceleration test maybe 0-30 mph. With the 1000w motor the AR has I would thing it would pull harder than rev1 750w motor.

[@BenStenson]

You should look at the gt20 e-bike and see if you can unlock the speed

[@yiarkungfu]

All I want to see is how well they climb steep hills.

[@cncpyro]

I just bought the Ariel rider last week "X-class step-through" went for my first ride today it was mainly all up hill went about 20 miles again Mostly all up STEEP hills/streets. I set my speed limit at 30MPH., It Had no problem, no matter how steep the hill was it didn't really struggle and I didn't even have to peddle once it max speed up every hill. I love the Ariel Rider.

[@gulfcoaster210]

the xclass has ALOT more torque for hill climbing

[@MyUtubefreak]

Brakes on the Revv1 are 4-piston with 180mm floating rotors, not 160mm as stated.

[@MikeFede]

They must ship them that way now. Mine is an early production and the rotor says 160mm. 👍🏼

[@josephkool8411]

Gonna measure mine now to see

[@josephkool8411]

Hard to measure, but I can say with 100 percent confidence that they are between 159mm and 181mm in circumference. I hope that helps

[@stkstan8598]

Please can you tell me where i can get the battery and send me link for that bike? It very emergency ‼️

[@M.622-q7r]

Dam im looking up reviews for the revv1 and didn’t expect to find u, I remember seeing you on the Scotty Cranmer KZbin channel, good video

[@trini_boi2414]

I'll take the revv 1 all day ..a 750 watt motor and 52 v 20ah battery is a sweet combo..you get enough power and most of all better range vs a 1000 watt motor..

[@ThePreacherman9]

can you do the rev 1 vs raev gt?

[@HK-uj9qc]

My ariel blue xclass was delivered 2 weeks ago but I haven't even opened it yet. I'm worried about the spokes being bent. If so, what do I do?

[@mmurray1963]

Take the back tire off and take it to a bike store and have them tighten and true the spokes.

[@cadriver2570]

I would love to hear the bikes during the ride segments instead of music.

[@reallifescience2069]

Which one is faster? We did a race and the Revv1 was killing the X-class.

[@tonyholmes9024]

Really??

[@reallifescience2069]

@@tonyholmes9024 yeah, it was accelerating faster and had a higher top speed. He needs to race them! he touched on it in this video, that the x-class went 32-34mph, while the revv was easily hitting 36mph

[@coolshariq]

X-class is 52V 1000watts peaks at 2000watts 20Amps battery and 35Amps controller.

[@reallifescience2069]

@@coolshariq nice, I believe the Revv is the same, I wonder why the X class is going slower. I think their motor model is a cheaper version bafang.

[@mukafahat_aldubab_al-alktruni]

I have question. Is the battery ah important? I mean I’m looking for e-bike based on the ah and I get ZM bikes. Are they good?

[@Msnrides]

I want the X class so bad

[@thesteve9]

Watch the man’s hands and arms as he is riding the trail on both machines. You sure the Rev1 is a smoother ride? Sumbitch is going to dislocate a shoulder on that Rev1. 😂

[@josephkool8411]

OP which one do you like better?

[@wesleygaitan]

Xclass on sale and so is grizzly

[@Smaug1]

One thing worth mentioning is that some states (Wisconsin, at least) have a hard 750 W cutoff for the power rating of the motor. That would make the X-class illegal as an eBike. It would have to be registered as a motorcycle to ride on the street legally. That alone gives Revv1 the victory for me. X-Class is too powerful for my state without possibly getting me in hot water! (even locked down to the 20 mph Class 2 speed) I also ride on the street 90% of the time, and the Revv 1 is better there, so that reinforces my choice.

[@slimdunkin117]

Noones gonna be able to tell the wattage of that motor tho..750 and 1000 hub motors look similar

[@numbone]

When the X class is locked its a 750 watt motor

[@silverscientists8130]

I'm sorry to hear about the unjust laws of your state ...I'm in commie fornia and it's full of unjust laws

[@coolshariq]

Quit being a wimp.

[@icestationzebraassociates2460]

Nah. Electric moped. In my state you can ride them with just a drivers license and you can't take em on bike trails but...?

[@roxythorphotography]

Great Video u Showed Good Points... i own a surron and i have few friends has Ariel Rider X Ive rode with them :) one thing i would say is how low th chain is on that bike my surron is epic lol

[@zerokool-2058]

So I’m ver ignorant to the fact that a bike has 52V but it turns off at anywhere from 38-41V ? Wouldn’t you still have 38V - 41V left? Like how does that work. I’m 100% confused.

[@KandBDoormasters]

If you have a C3Strom, that would be a great comparison video too

[@xcodychaosx]

Believe shreddie mcskate has a comparison of the 2 mostly the c3strom doesn't have a rear suspension so its better on road than off and then the c3strom i guess gets up to top speed everytime where the revv1 gets up to 30 but then over time on longer straights will get up to 35 or 36 think he said the seat on the revv 1 is better and yeah thats all I remember plus I think the c3strom is around 3000 right? Idr but id just go with the cheaper revv1 without rear suspension as its around 1800. im thinking someone's gonna hook up a computer and tune the controller eventually to get up to top speed everytime and really im excited to see a 72v revv1

[@jpmyles1560]

Still rather have the X class

[@totoroboto]

Mike, looks like you don't have the shorter (and tighter) chain on your Revv1. As you've ridden it a bit more now, what's your opinion on the feel and functionality to pedal this bike? And does it ghost pedal at those high speeds? Enjoying your videos...thanks!

[@BrianHoJazz]

Interested in this as well

[@ebikeaddict436]

I don’t understand how the rev1 is faster or has more acceleration. The x class has a 35 amp controller and 2000 watts peak. The rev1 has a 28 amp controller and 1500 watt peak. The rev1 is 20 pounds heavier also. I think ride1up is downplaying the amps and motor to make it ebike legal. For a 750 watt 52v bike with a 28 amp controller shouldn’t go faster then 32mph

[@MikeFede]

Yup! Something is up, but the bike is faster than other bikes I have with these specs.

[@BONGE33]

All I know is the rev 1 was so incredibly slow getting to that top speed...

[@coolshariq]

Both are sweet bikes 🙂🤙

[@ducti748]

Ariel isn’t the prettiest belle at the ball… wish they hired somebody from s73 or ride1up to redesign

[@mukafahat_aldubab_al-alktruni]

How about ZM?

[@kennyhill2678]

I like the Revv

[@Trillville43]

They loosen over tike your suppose to tighten the spokes lol.

[@MikeFede]

Yea I’m aware they would after several rides and 30 miles or so. This was brand new and right out of the box like this. Not something I see on other bikes I’ve gotten and even other Ariel riders I have.

[@xpndblhero5170]

You shouldn't have to worry about tightening the spokes or the forks or anything (I check everything because I have OCD) it's a brand new bike and the only thing a customer should have to worry about is the basic assembly out of the box... What if you bought it for your kid or something and it was already falling apart out of the box, that ruins my opinion of a company very quickly when they show they don't care about their customers.

[@Trillville43]

@@xpndblhero5170 That's fair but you should be checking all this before riding anyway because safety first. I didn't check mine when I first got it but had to before 50mi.

[@kimhyunwoo8983]

@@xpndblhero5170 well first kids aren’t allowed to ride class3+ e-bikes under 16 I think in almost all United states and even most other countries. But also you definitely should be checking all your hardware on these type of bikes out of the box when you get them and I’m at least a minimum of once a month because vibration causes things to loosen naturally.

[@xpndblhero5170]

@@Trillville43 - Yeah I find it's important to check after a "break-in period" but I check before I go on rides because I tow my son around in a bike trailer... If I got an ebike like this, my first move would be to check Everything before riding but that's just me. A lot of people don't do that because they don't know how so it should be safe enough to ride until after the break-in period... They should be checked and tightened before being sent to the customer then the customer should only have to worry about attaching the bars, pedals, mirrors, and things like that.

[@chrisiscruisin]

I have a Rev 1 I think there lying about 28amp. That’s maybe not unlocked

[@chrisiscruisin]

My point is in off road mode it pumps 35 amps to the motor not 28 amps. I was told the bike peaks at 1800 watts. I hit 37.9 mph your not getting there with 1400 watts peak.

[@BONGE33]

Did you really just say if the rev1 came out with a 1000w motor or dual motor it would be untouched by any bike? I mean you know thats def an untrue statement right? I mean my onyx would blow it out of the water among many other ebike brands

[@Mercstar]

The Revv1 looks cool, the Ariel Rider looks like something your grandpa ordered from a JCWhitney catalog.

[@R0CKAFELLA]

bruh. 🤣

[@Rayto360]

Good comparison

[@jamesobrien7401]

⚡️⚡️ love it

[@Mike-xq8bv]

The rev looks better in my opinion x class was top dog for a long time not so much anymore with all the new bikes coming out 😅just saying

[@nelsons.reviews]

Will I hit 38 at 250??

[@amuroray88]

Probably not. 40 is possible if you weigh 130, but 37 is the real average top speed for people who weigh 170. At 250, your more likely to hit 35 at peak.

[@dylanjones8029]

@@amuroray88hopefully I go 40 I am 129

@@dylanjones8029 you weigh pretty much the same as me, so you should be able to hit 40 on a full charge

U didn’t say anything about the gears. For paddling.

Won't ever be buying a spoked rim bike, just more maintenance and possibilities for issues.

[@EBuff-v7j]

The Rev1 looks cooler

[@patrickkerns2022]

euy s4 is a better deal to me why spend 1000 to gain 5 mph thes are both over priced to me maybe 1,800 tops these are not a good deal but ok quality but you have issues with them which again these are way over priced i paid 1,600 for my 52 v xclass new then ariel rider upgraded and forced us to over pay with upgrades that dont match the price which no longer makes them a good deal .thanks for the video

[@amuroray88]

If you don't need rear suspension, you can get the hard tail Revv1 for 1800, and it's probably a little faster than the full suspension model.

[@dwayne8410]

Never gonna buy from Ariel Rider again! Purchased one of their bikes from them and two years later when I needed a new battery for it they claim they don't sell them anymore. So I'm stuck with a totally useless bike. They suggested I try to contact the battery manufacturer and have them make me one. Can you imagine how much that would cost? May as well get a new bike. Stay away. Very poor support. Even more, their website says they are "out of stock" of batteries for their new line of bikes. Beware.

[@gomi_cat]

That does kind of suck... Do you think they actually stopped making them, or are they just on extreme back order? It might not make ya happy, but you might be surprised on how its not all that complicated to make your own battery... the issue would be to have a case that matches the old one unless you can take it apart and replace the banks...

[@Scottyman99]

Does any smaller branded e-bike manufacturer continue making batteries for a bike model they stopped making? That's the scary part about buying an e-bike. Batteries are absurdly expensive to replace if you can even find one.

[@dwayne8410]

Yeah, google FTH Power in California.

[@mmurray1963]

I couldn't agree with you more. Stay as far away as possible, there customer service is non existent and a absolute joke.

[@jamesgraves32]

I want to buy s nice e-bike most brands are sold out of popular models like Ariel rider. They know this do they are jacking prices. The industry ducks.

[@manasseh7]

the rev1 is what AR is lacking..looks and now apparently its just as good in the specs department..if I didn't have my ARX52 already I would have definitely bought the rev1

[@arunmaroli]

ARX52 is 20lbs lighter. Has 250W more powerful motor and 7-speed. Apart from looks, Rev1 trails in all specs.
