Don’t do the tannus armor and the flat out together. Just sayin.
Why not? Added protection if a nail goes through the tannus armor and inner tube right?
Thank u sir… good to know they have these available in the city.
Yea I prefer this to locking the bike to a rack. Especially if I'm going to leave it for an extended amount of time. Thanks for watching!
Nice ride, but I would recommend that you add a bell to your bike.
I have a rechargeable horn attached and I'm very careful when passing anyone. Thanks for watching
@@E-RiderHub It was a very interesting video. I grew up there, but now live in SC and I'm 77, but still ride and have a new Bee Cool Explorer now with 700 miles on it.
Thats a nice bike. Was considering getting a be cool bike when I first started looking at getting an e-bike
Solid! Must have been a weekday though. I once made the mistake of riding across the Golden Gate on a weekend - genuinely one of the most anxiety ridden things I've ever done. Tonnes of people standing around/blocking the path - a huge mix of cyclists either moving at a snails pace or coming up behind you at 16-20mph leaving little/no room for mistakes. Not at all a fun ride. This seems a lot more laid back though - might have to give it a try again on a day that's less "busy"
Yea it was a weekday. I've seen how crazy it gets on the weekends and completely agree. There is not a lot of space to pass people either. Thanks for watching! More content coming soon
Nice video! Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
Don't buy an Ariel rider bike! My bike has 33 miles on it. Left me stranded twice and is not working now. Ariel rider does not stand behind their "premium" products. I paid full price for my bike!! Also, you can't leave a review for their products anywhere (why all 5 stars)
I'm sorry that happened to you. I believe they have a 1 year warranty on their bikes when you register the bike. You can view all their reviews at the bottom of the page here: arielrider.com/products/x-class-52v. What did you do with the bike?
So what exactly happneed? Why not stand behind the product?
Woo
I bought the 20x3.5 inner tubes to install the Heb allscapes because i blew the tire off the rim twice because of poor bead settng
Definitely the hardest part of the install. Hopefully mine don't blow up on me
Can you add a second battery? I'm also wondering if possible adding front turn signals.
A lot of people add a 52v triangle battery which they connect in parallel using a parallel connector. There are also some videos of people adding front turn signals but you either need to do your own wiring or get a 12v kit for them
What material are wheel fenders made of?
They're plastic fenders and I haven't had any issue with them
Still a good video... I do 22 miles a day. To get to work n back unless it rains I take the train.
Tires are trash, buy a billy goat. Is actually best for the price.... dudes just showing off his investment
Billy goat looks good but time will tell how the quality of that bike is. I have vee huntsman tires Im going to install on the x class soon. Stay tuned
What you use to lock it up?
Was using a Kryptonite U-lock but now I'm using a chain lock I got with my scooter
How heavy is the scooter?
66 pounds which is pretty heavy compared to other scooters in this class
You gained a new subscriber
Can u link where u bought your handle bars? I've heard the neck doesn't support certain bars
Left a link in the description. Any handlebar with a diameter of 31.8mm should fit the neck
Promo_SM ⭐
If you change your tires diameter setting to 21-22, you'll get a more accurate speedometer reading. Someone has already posted a video if you need instructions.
Im pretty sure I did that already but I'll double check. Thanks for the heads up
We should ride some times,I have a 72 volts ariel rider, I also live in san francisco. Nice ride.
I want to do the 72v upgrade in the future. You swapped to the 5000W NB Power motor?
@E-RiderHub no I bought all parts from china,I have a 3000 watts motor, and also built my own 72 volts 15ah dorado battery, with legit samsung 21700 50s
That's awesome. We should go for a ride sometime even though I probably won't be able to keep up
Its not a bike dude
😮 thanks for clarifying that
Nice ride!
Thanks!
Hey man I’m so glad I came across your video. I’m just about to move to San Francisco from London. I want to buy either ArielRider X Class 52V or Ride1Up Revv 1 but im not sure which one is a better performer overall. My main concern is the X Class 52V fast or powerful enough to have real presence in the road and can it deal with SF hills? Also, whats the real top speed and range of this bike? Do you think I’ll be able to get 30 miles out of a full charge between 25 to 30 MPH? I have consistently heard SF is a crime ridden city and your car, bike or whatever else will most likely be broken into or just stolen! How do you effectively keep your bike safe and secured?
Thanks for commenting. The x class is more than enough for the hills out here. Keep in mind you won't be going 20+mph up the steepest hills but the bike will get there. I have a couple other vids showing what the bike can do uphill. Top speed is around 35 mph and 30 miles is probably the max range you'll get riding at 30 mph throttle only (depending on your weight). Range gets extended a ton when you use pedal assist. Lastly I have a video coming out soon that will show how I lock up the bike. I use a kryptonite lock and have an extra chain lock just in case. I wouldn't leave it locked for more than a few hours as most angle grinders can cut through the best locks
Also I was debating the rev1 vs the x-class as well. Rev 1 wins slightly in the looks department despite me loving how the x class looks. But the x class has a gear shifter for when I want to actually pedal and has slightly more torque than the rev 1. Let me know what you decide to go with
@@E-RiderHubwhich one did you end up getting?
@@MrSlidthunder x-class standard version. Especially now it's a no brainier for the price 1700 full suspension vs 2400 full suspension rev1
@@E-RiderHub that’s what I was noticing. Been leaning more into the x-class version with the dual suspension. Especially now since it’s on sale.
how many miles can u get pushing it.? there and back would u say atleast 16.?
The range isn't great on this scooter but it's not terrible. Longest ride I've done was around 14 miles (with some pretty big hill) and I came back with ~30% battery. Keep in mind I ride 25+ mph when I can and that drains battery too. The battery can easily last 16 miles if you ride around 20-25 mph without issue
Nice speed but what’s the range for going 30+ without pedalling? Generally how much range do you get at or around 20 - 25mph?
30mph+ you'll probably get 15-20 miles. 20-25 mph you'll get closer to 30 miles
Thanks for getting back. Your info really helps me 😊
Would you recommend buying this model. How far on the electric handlebar is a time
I'm sorry I don't understand your 2nd question. I would definitely recommend buying the x-class at it's current price
how does it do on jumps up and down curbs??
Ive jumped off a few curbs on the scooter and it handles them pretty well. The shocks are really good and handle potholes well. I'll film some offroad content next with the pegasus.
@@E-RiderHub Oh I see that's good to hear. Have you noticed any looseness with the stem ??
I personally haven't noticed much looseness in the stem. The dampener is still functional
4:49 - perfect demonstration of how to give e-bikes a bad rep with the public.
Thanks for the comment! :)
I didn't see anyone on the sidewalk.
Just what the rider would say after he hits a kid who ran out one of those doors. Face-palm@@mikejna
How much was it ?
$2100 before taxes. The x-class goes on sale pretty often
Can you show you lock the Bike with the Kryptonite lock please.
Thats a really good video idea. I normally use a chain lock around the front suspension and Kryptonite lock around the rear cargo rack. Some people use the kryptonite lock around the wheel. I'll make a video about locking up the bike soon
☺️ "promosm"
You first video? Congrats man, great job. Sweet looking bike! I just got an AR x-class step through and love it. Ordered a custom full length seat from JB Seats that will be 5" thick! Can't wait. I'm online looking for a small bag for the back of the cargo plus rack just for tools and a couple small items that's how I ended up on your channel cause you mention the rack in your description...so that paid off lol. I like getting on by sliding on from the back of the bike. I'm 6'5" so that's perfect for me. Good luck with your channel, I'll be starting a channel this fall sometime too. Work is just too busy right now for time to do that.
Appreciate the support and enjoy that seat! I've heard good things about JB Seats. Looking forward to your content
This scooter is built really well but I think it's not really meant for long term. After riding mine for over 2,000 miles, I have encountered several issues. The biggest issues have been replacing the battery and dealing with stem wobble. Another guy on CZcams mentioned that his stem broke after about 4,000 miles. A minor issue has been having to replace brake pads/cables and eventually having to replace the tires (I have the solid model). It's a great scooter but it's cheap for a reason.
Valid points. I read online that the battery degrades pretty quickly. I'm honestly not going to ride it past 2000 miles and likely sell it before I reach that mileage. Where did you purchase a new battery from?
@@E-RiderHub directly from Varla but because of language barriers it was very difficult to communicate with them. At first they wanted somewhere around $400 for a new battery but after deliberating for days I was able to bring the price down to around $150. Varla are relatively new and don't really understand the value that money has apparently as they tend to overcharge for spare parts.
@@JPL_RidesI think any scooter will start needing replacement parts after 2,000 miles
@@JPL_Ridesbattery should last longer though
@brandthendo5623 he does doordash and uber eats on it thats why
Do you need a drivers license to drive this?
No, as long as you ride in the bike lane and don't exceed 28 mph. It's legal to ride in most states
Hey great bike. Hope You are answering questions I have one! I cannot find a back rack that is the same width as the seat.. where did you get yours?
You can order it directly from Ariel Rider. They are currently sold out but every few months they receive a fresh batch. Link here: arielrider.com/products/cargo-plus-rear-rack There's also a smaller cargo rack that you can buy from them here: arielrider.com/products/rear-rack-for-x-class
Hi. This is real speed 38mph ? You compare with gps data ?
I'm going to use GPS for my next speed tests. The actual speed is probably 1-2 miles less than the display shows. I also need to update the wheel diameter from 24 -> 22 in the settings to get a more accurate reading
It cannot be 38. The accurate setting is 21 inches which isn’t available on the 500c. You can do 20 inches and get 1 mph short or 22 and get 2 mph over. Ariel rider will NOT go 38 mph on GPS, but 35-36 at the most.
If you ride smarter you can easily get 75 miles of range i don't think any of these companies expect people to ride at full speed throttle only because thats illegal in alot of place but some people buy these things as cheap motercycles not electric bikes
1. It didnt seem like you were using the high beam for the light. 2. What is the of twisting the throttle if you going to just pedal while going up the hill?
Probably forgot to put the high beams on tbh. And I'm just pedaling to maintain my speed going up hill
The shock is fine it seems nobody want to actually adjust the thing. You can adjust it by getting an air shock pump or by rotating the two collars.
Half these people don't know anything about bikes or maintenance if it's not perfect out the box it's "broken"
How much was the bike
@merlintalisien6188 $2199 when I bought it and lately it's been going for $1999
Is it street legal here in california?
Out of the box it's street legal. There's a setting you change to enable top speed, but as long as you go 20 mph max in bike lanes you won't be bothered. The bike also has a class 2 sticker in case you get pulled over. Police haven't bothered me yet
Im curious what the top speed really is...all my ebike displays are on avg 3 mph off. The ariel kepler has same specs and i believe on gps it was 34
My latest video has a better top speed run, but I'll start using a GPS app for the true speed soon. Go check it out!
If you get a phone mount, your GPS app can tell you. OR, you can go into the advanced settings and change the wheel size to 22, which will pretty much match what the GPS says.
@En4cer2K9 you can just keep your phone in your pocket...yes I do know how to get gps info. I do not have this bike, hence why I was wondering what the real top speed is
I just got my Ariel rider too!! it's the x class 52v. so far I love it.
It's an awesome bike! No complaints yet
@@E-RiderHubI ordered mine . Did u change your bars ?
@@Chepo1500 I bought handlebars with higher rise and less of a sweep back. Link here: amzn.to/4ch2rGG
@@E-RiderHub are they taller than bmx ones ?
Not as tall tbh. If you're looking for that style go pro taper or order the ones from Ariel rider
Once you upgrade, better get that thing registered. They’re starting to crack down, and it won’t be long if you’re cruising at that speed on the middle of the road. And we both share that attractive dark skin lol. It’s why I may get the battery but not the motor upgrade on mine. I want to keep it bike legal.
Thanks for the advice! Hopefully Cali doesn't change the law anytime soon 🥲 I slow down and uselessly pedal if cops are nearby lol
I have the same bike. I've had it for about 2 years and love it!
It's an amazing bike. Did you upgrade the seat or add a 2nd battery?
@@E-RiderHub Yeah it is! I upgraded the seat. I didn't have a need to upgrade the battery. After 20-30 miles I'm ready to get off anyways. I peddle 50/50 percent of the time
