Why not? Added protection if a nail goes through the tannus armor and inner tube right?

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!

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

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

Thanks for watching!

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?

Definitely the hardest part of the install. Hopefully mine don't blow up on me

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

They're plastic fenders and I haven't had any issue with them

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

Was using a Kryptonite U-lock but now I'm using a chain lock I got with my scooter

66 pounds which is pretty heavy compared to other scooters in this class

Left a link in the description. Any handlebar with a diameter of 31.8mm should fit the neck

Im pretty sure I did that already but I'll double check. Thanks for the heads up

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

😮 thanks for clarifying that

Thanks!

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.

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

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 😊

I'm sorry I don't understand your 2nd question. I would definitely recommend buying the x-class at it's current price

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

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

$2100 before taxes. The x-class goes on sale pretty often

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

Appreciate the support and enjoy that seat! I've heard good things about JB Seats. Looking forward to your content

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

No, as long as you ride in the bike lane and don't exceed 28 mph. It's legal to ride in most states

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

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.

Probably forgot to put the high beams on tbh. And I'm just pedaling to maintain my speed going up hill

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

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

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

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

Thanks for the advice! Hopefully Cali doesn't change the law anytime soon 🥲 I slow down and uselessly pedal if cops are nearby lol

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
