I got a flat tire the other day while riding a few miles up in the mountains...I limped home on a slow leak and made it back without any damage to the bike or myself lol.
I then made a b-line for the nearest bike shop that sold Tannus tire armor inserts. I also upgraded my handle bars to BMX style bars for more control off road. Best mods ever!!!

Thanks Mixflip. If anyone is interested the Lost Sierra Electric Bike Festival is July 24-25 in Sierra Valley and Portola, CA. Fun races, demos, vendors, etc.
I didn't know about that festival? Sorry I missed it.
Nice upgrades, exactly what I need to do. Got wider shoulders, 6'2"
Awesome Vid. I'm about to purchase a Grizzly and needed to do the exact same thing. Thanks for showing me the way. 👊🏾👊🏾
Looks like a good functional upgrade. I do like the look. It's cool you got a place to ride so close to home.
I live out at the edge of town and got lucky with all the trails near my house.
Thanks for the great tips! I just used your code/link this morning when I pulled the trigger and ordered my Grizzly 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks! I appreciate that. You are going to love it. Christmas will hopefully come early lol.
Nice video, the handlebars look good, I think ever lower bars may look even better.
Wicked video I want this. Reminds me of my college days mountain biking in Flagstaff
I love the flagstaff area. Overland expo is held there!!!!
I like the back side wheel amortization it is better decide for this type of transport
I wish I knew what that means?
@@mixflip I think he wants to write the 'back side wheel' off over tme ? 😎
I like the AR-G ebike because of the higher handlebar it’s more comfortable, shorter handlebar will give you back aches specially on long rides. Imagine hunching your back leaning forward for 60 miles every time you hop on your bike, that will quickly take the fun of riding.
All you need now is the super 73 grizzly tires 20" by 4.5 " very stubby check em out ty for video
Good Stuff! Thanks
I like the bars n grips
Pretty cool better off road handling. I'm still waiting for mine.
You will love it.
I really like those bars man🤘🏻
I highly recommend them. Its like a whole new bike. Easier to throw around now.
It's an amazing machine. 🤯
Thanks for watching
great video!!!
Just received my Griz, Sept.21.2021. Ordered mine on January 25, 2021.....yep, that's how long it took due to global shipping changes and delays. Getting ready to unbox and test. Due to the delays, Ariel Rider has strived to satisfy its customers by gearing up all Grizzlys with bigger batteries included, 1,000 watt hub motors on front and back, and two battery chargers to enable charging the two batteries simultaneously. Ready to rock!
I like the concept of the BMX bars however I am going to use Armor-Dilloz - Military Grade Ultra Premium Tire Sealant instead of the tire inserts you've added. After watching the video on how the sealant works, I feel it will be superior to using inserts. Time will tell.
Thanks for your excellent video and well done explanations. I've been riding eBikes since 2007, starting first with a Bionx hub motor Specialized bike, and 5 years ago moving up to A Luna Cycles Police Bike with a 1,000 watt Bafang motor. The difference is startling....like moving from a Fiat to a Ferrari. I hope the Grizzly makes an even greater leap as far as off-road capabilities since I live in rural Arizona and have miles of 4x4 trails to explore.
Peace, Madjag
I would like to know how it performs running up steep jeep trails. I'm an amateur treasure here in Arizona. I need to go where my 4x4 stops.
Meant to say amateur treasure hunter!
@@rtopalovich It is being assembled by a friend next week and then I'll drive 250 miles to pick it up. Testing next. I will post a full review in a month or two after I film a trail test. Thanks.
@@rtopalovich It will absolutely destroy jeep trails! Especially with the new 1000 watt motors. Im so jealous lol. Mine is a beast with 750 watt motors and mine goes up hills just as good as the mid drive $4000 mountain bike Im currently testing. Yes its that good. Id even consider buying actual motorcycle/dirtbike tires now. It may reduce the range but you guys are getting bigger batteries so again....Im so jealous!
Thanks! This is exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks for watching
@@mixflip this is a bad ass bike it looks like anyway. I’m still waiting on my 3000$ put out cash. I sent in july14 2021 and Ariel rider told me the longest I would have to wait is August 30th. I believe that’s fair if your one of the ones that paid up front cash. People making payments I can understand waiting a little longer. I hope I’m not ending up being disappointed.
@@dannygiselbach9103 the bike industry like all industries is experiencing issues with raw materials being more expensive due to less workers to process them. Then less drivers to deliver them to the factories. Less workers building things. Less ships shipping products. Less dock workers unloading products. Less US truckers with CDLs that aren't expired who knows what else related to supplies ad shipping. The whole planet is floundering.
I was at a class in New Mexico and after class the restaurant apologized for not having enough cooks and waitresses so service would be slow.
Life sucks right now.
@@mixflip I see what your saying , but stick to what they say. First off they lead me to believe they were out of the USA. That was one big decision I made for that reason. Cuz I knew I needed my electric bike ASAP. Come to find out down the road they are coming from China. Great!
I will be fine even so if they do what they promised me. I ordered July 14 2021, they said no problem it would be sent out for sure by August 25 and to look for fed ex around the 30th for my grizzly. I mean when you and people you count on trust what your saying. The words should be gold brother.
Wow! that does look better!
thanks
Great Vid!👍
Thanks for watching
This is a 750 w V2 Grizzly but still a great video.
Hey what size tannus linners did you use just ordered my grizzly so exited. Great vid btw .
hey I happened upon this looking to replace the stock bars on my bike. good video but hoped you'd woulda held 'em up next to the stock bars showing size comparison. thx
Any way to install a snack container/box behind the seat? Was thinking at least one rear view mirror so if you get a follower animal at least you would know.
I like the upgrades you have done.
I still like the handle bar that it came with
Get some glasses
Like the video an I was thinking if I got a grizzly I would change the handle bars also I like the bars you got looks a lot better an I'm sure with it being wider it handels a lot better an not so tall. An the liners is smart also. You need to wear riding gloves buddy you go down your gonna wish you had them on I tell everyone that not just you. I always wear gloves all the time can't wait for more videos. Take care ride safe an God Bless.
Funny you mentioned gloves. My son recently fell off his ebike and got lots of road rash. Poor kid was beat up. Luckily he fell on a dirt road so it wasn't as bad as if it were asphalt.
That being said....I always wear a helmet and now I always wear gloves. I make my living with my hands and my life is literally on the line with my hands....so I protect them now. You and another viewer have mentioned gloves...and I am following your advice. Glove gloves gloves!!!! Thanks bro.
@@mixflipHey buddy i'm glad your taking my advice an the other guys. I've been riding street bikes crotch rockets and I've been down because of someone's else's fault an do to having my gear on I was able to walk away my gloves had studs on the palms an from sliding on the cement it wore them down to hardly nothing now if that would of been my bear hands I would of been going to the hospital an would oof been in bad shape. My leather jacket saved my upper body an I had on jeans an they were pretty much ok an I had on riding boots. They call it "foosh" it stands for falling on out stretched hands. If you look it up you can see pictures of people who weren't wearing gloves an used their hands to break their fall. Look up on CZcams Health Rider he rides an ebike an I guess he's a Dr. An look up his video on "foosh" an see the picture on there . I'm so sorry to hear about your son I hope he gets better soon an I hope you all wear gear when riding. Please take care buddy and God Bless.
The Grizzly seems to handle single track pretty good, how does it do in sand? FL is sand, deep sand and muck. I'm thinking the smaller wheels wont work as well. It sure does look like a fun ride and good looking to boot.
I've got an E-CELLS Super monarch 1500 AWD on order, it has 26X4.25 tires and I've heard it does well in the sand, I'll find out soon.
Awesome video, just got an Ariel X52 and got a flat within my first couple of rides. I’m going to install the Tannus Armor. Do you think it will work as a run flat? When my bike had a blowout I couldn’t even wheel it to the nearest train station to get home. I’m hoping the Tannus would help it roll but it said this feature may not be the case for fat tires. Wondering if you had this happen so far and if it worked as a run flat?
Awesome 👏
Thanks for watching
@@mixflip for sure
I was wondering where in Spanish Springs your video was shot? Those paved and dirt trails look great. A grizzly could do well on the Tahoe Pyramid Bike Trail as it is mostly gravel and some pavement. Might make a good video blog.
Over by the sports park there are tons of paths and trails.
Hey Mix I'm waiting on mine! New bike hype is real! 🤣
I've been so impressed with this bike and I'm pretty sure yer the biggest dude I've seen on one. Whips you around like nothing! Can I ask how tall/weight?
I'm oldschool to the channel, cant wait for some pew pew vids when we get ammo back. 😎👍🇺🇸
Its a beast for sure. I love it! I have 4 ebikes now and the grizzly gets all my attention lol. Im 200lbs, 5'9" and it carries me no problem. I bet if I lost 20lbs I would go alot faster lol. Then again I dont need to be going so fast at my age. If I fall now....it will take weeks to recover. Not days.
I enjoyed. The video and I'm going to get one some day soon I appreciate the information about the bmx handlebars I'll get those and the tentis armour for the tires thank you
I am grateful for your input. I watched your upgrades months ago. I bought the same handlebars and what's needed to mount. I just got email saying mine will arrive Friday ! I'm buying armour for the tubes today 20 by 4 ?
Thanks. You will not regret it. Especially the tannus tire inserts. I feel so much more confident when Im 20 miles from any roadway deep in the mountains now.
Hello thanks for the video. I am currently working on putting the same handlebars and stem on my Grizzly but I am having issues taking off the old stem. The screw in the center is free spinning and won't come off. Any suggestions? Thanks
I enjoyed this, thanks. How feasible do you think it would be to rig up a way to carry a couple of pannier bags on the Grizzly?
Not sure yet. Ill order some and make a video. Should be fairly easy depending on the bags designs of course.
Does the tannus inhibit the bikes speed at all?
You should contact Tannus for a discount link. I called them and they're nice folks. I found one on another channel and saved $40 bucks. Just passing info...til next time.
I'll contact them. Thanks
What is the size of your stem to the bike.
Nice !
Can you charge Or run other things with the battery?
Unfortunately no. That would make this bike alot more versatile if it do though. Maybe they will do that on the gen3 models?
Be nice if they built the grizzly with lower handle bars for the 2022 model
They probably have a contract and a stockpile of these bars for a while.
Did you put the inserts in the back tire as well? I heard the back tire is harder to install the insert
I did both. The only harder part was dealing with the chain but thats the same on any bike.
Looks fun, I have a Himiway ST, I like to trade it in for the Grizzly, My Himiway max out speed is 28 MPH on flat, I need little more power to go up the hill. what do you think?
I have the Himiway and its great for my wife and her style of riding. Flat ground with the kids mostly. Best cruiser ever! But for off road fun its the grizzly all day everyday for me.
Hey man.. How do you think this does this do as a cargo bike? Thanks
Well...if you attach a trailer it would do good probably because it has alot of torque and power.
I order your grips but they didnt come with screws. How did you put them on? Did you drill a hole in the bars? What screw did you use?
They should have come with screws? Even in the pictures on amazon it shows screws. I hope you worked it out?
with the Tannus liners on did you notice any difference in torque or max speed...
I didn't notice a change. But then again I wasn't specifically looking at any changes. I was just happy to not get another flat 20 miles from my house.
Nice take it back or get a refund. There is e bike that costs around $2000 I would like to get. Seeing somebody ride around town. It look nice riding it. Your videos are nice.
What bike is it?
@@mixflip aventon ebike or all terrain ebike with the thick wheels
@@joey160000 aventon only goes 28 mph top speed vs the grizzlies 35 mph...and the aventon only has a 40 miles range while the grizzly gets 75 miles per charge....yeah...
no....I will pass on any aventon.
@@mixflip Grizzly the one that gets 75 miles to the charge invest money worth into the ebike. Wouldn't waste on aventon
Nice bike but the $3k price tag doesn't quite fit my present budget. I bought a Lectric xp $800 and the first thing I did was tannus liners. Those liners also make the ride more comfortable with that 1/2" foam liners. I'm in the process of upgrading the battery. I'm thinking about getting a Jackery solar generator to carry, just trying to decide which size to get. Anywho, catch you later. Stay safe!
I hear lectric ebikes are nice but not powerful up hills. They are good for flat land areas and $800 is always nice.
The funny thing is you can finance a Grizzly with AFFIRM arielrider.com/pages/financing-options
Also the price of an upgraded battery, a jackery power bank and a bike trailer....plus the price of the lectric....you could easily afford an ariel rider model.
All that matters is we have fun really.
Yeah you 2 stay safe. Where I live people driving don't watch out for cyclists or pedestrians. That why I carry too edc.
mixflip, I'll check out the financing, would love to have one of those beast. The Lectric isn't that bad on hills. I'm over 200 pounds and I've tried a couple of hills and it handled it. I imagine 2 motors makes a big difference. I'm still trying to figure out how to recharge with solar. Til then catch you on the trails.
Do you still have the stock handlebar, I just bought a used one with the cafe cruiser bar its too low for how tall I am 6'1" I'm interested in buying your stock handlebar if you still have them.
hey how does the suspension and the seat feel with the bumps off road?
The bike seems tuned for carrying 2 people so it's somewhat stiff.
Good video I like those bmx bars would those fit on the xclass 52v?
Im guessing you will need a BMX stem as well like I did.
@@mixflip was thinking I would do u recommend a BMX stem?and from Amazon?
Great video, I'm 6"3 around 210 , will the grizzly with the handlebar upgrade suit me find and comfortably?
Wow 6'3" 210lbs....your a big dude. I don't know if you would fit a Grizzly to be honest. I'm 5' 10" 200lbs and feel kinda maxed out since there is no adjustment on the seat. Your legs will be more bent than mine. That being said though....the Grizzly is more of a dirtbike so you kinda don't need to pedal and extend your legs. You will be resting on pegs 99% of the time.
Have you looked at the backou storm? It's a bigger bike but also a tank of an ebike. Steel gears and full suspension.

Here is my interview with them
czcams.com/video/XYe2TYojxE4/video.html
@@mixflip thanks man I really appreciate it. I'm thinking more into the cab motorworks eagle.
Is there a difference in the ride on flat surface with the Tannus? Did you install on both tires? Some people say its squishy feel ride.
Mine feel great
Hey mixflip, can you tell me what size sockets fit on the wheel nuts? I cant seem to find it through Ariel.
19mm on the front and 21mm in the back.
@@mixflip thanks so much!
Grizzly gen2 is puncture resistant so does that mean I wouldn’t need to get tannus inset?!
Gen1 is also puncture resistant...but that didn't stop my bike from getting a flat.
What made you choose this model vs. the X52V?
Dual batteries
Do the new 1000 watt moters have the steel gear?
yes
How do the Tannus inserts respond to lowering the pressure in order to increase the footprint on sand or snow?
I need to test it.
@@mixflip I look forward to it.
Any recommendations on turn signals 🤔
I have no idea? I need help there too lol.
I have a Grizzly on order supposedly coming feb 2, 21 could you please leave a link to where you bought the bars. Thanks so much. JP
Its in the description
did you get the links?
What kind of tubes did you go with? Tannus recommends down sizing your tubes, did you?
I did not downsize at all lol.
@@mixflip okay cool. Well, keep us updated; If you get weird flats maybe that's why. I'll probably just say screw it too lol
Do they make some sort of windshield for this bike?
No
How did you get LCD to mount on BMX stem? Nice rig!
Interested in the response to this this questions as well.
amazon has them but I bought my bars locally here in Reno Nv
How are you transporting the bike? I just ordered mines and don’t want to get it scratched up when I’m taking it to the woods.
I use a Hollywod platform bike carrier. I think its the best at its price and features. I plan to make a video on it soon.
@@mixflip Waiting for this video 🙂.. I ordered my Grizzly 2 weeks ago.. Impatiently waiting 😭.. it'll start sending the week of Aug 9th.
Hi! Would you like to sell me the original handlebars! I would like to put in my X-class.
if you're ripping in the hills/Mtns i suggest a full face helmet.
I agree. Im shopping around now. What do you recommend?
@@mixflip I use a Bell Sanction. It's good for Under $100
Just fit a gearless 72v 3000w rear hub motor, run it at 35A with small 3000wh 72v battery...
Im a filipino bro, can you pls do ebikes + guns.. thanks in advance and be safe bro.
I actually still have a gun channel. czcams.com/video/2tQp_f4TNwQ/video.html
Man I love your grizzly reviews but do have a question. How tall are you ? What’s peddling like for your height. I’m 5’10” so is it going to bring my knees way high?
I'm 5'9". There is no height adjustment for the seat so any taller and you will definitely feel like you need a taller seat. It's not really made for pedaling but it's doable if the batteries die and you just need to ride home.
Grizzly seems like a great bike (I ordered one), but the stock handlebars look awful. Too tall and narrow for such a powerful bike.
The handle bar upgrade makes it feel like an entirely different bike for sure. Way more confident when riding aggressively.
@@mixflip TORN BETWEEN THIS AND ONYX CTY2...ANY THOUGHTS?
@@BOOSTEDLASER I think it depends on your style. The grizzly is more off roadie. The onyx is more street bike.
Yew
Yeeha
Wow, you got slim
Lol....I doubt that. I'm 200lbs. Sometimes 210lbs during the holidays.
Tannus is really way too expensive for what it is for almost the same price you can just get new Vee Tire Huntsman tires that will do much better job to not get flats and if still worried can use motorcycle thicker tubes as well thats what i did on my X. I am surprised your top speed isnt any faster than my X guess dual motors only give extra torque.
the peace of mind is worth it to me. This is a 100 pound ebike so zero chance of a flat is nice when Im 30 miles in the forest.
Spell much?
Spell what?
Buyer beware! Last week I ordered the Ariel x-class, and it is horrible. The bike clicks loudly and rapidly making riding unenjoyable. The throttle does not work properly, the tires are thin and just had a flat from a small shard of glass. These are the problems in the first week. I am scared for the bike to uphold over the long term. I am also concerned with my safety as with not even 100 miles on it the bearing may be going out making the bike unsafe to ride. I tried reaching out to the customer service but they have not made any effort to correct the problem thus making me feel like the took $2000 and gave me a lemon. If I were a new buyer I would go somewhere else, local, get good service. This company is only here to make money in my experience, and not provide a viable product.
Hey man I just got a flat as well with my X class within my first 24 hours of riding. The tires do feel thin. The thing that gave me the flat was a 2 inch metal type thing but It didn’t even have a point. Im sure if the tires were thicker it wouldn’t have happened. I haven’t found any great tires for the bike, Kenda seems to be a decent option. Going to install the Tannus Armor as well. As for the throttle it could be the battery fuse if the throttle cuts out. The bike is warrantied for a year so you should be able to get this stuff sorted. I absolutely love the bike, once my tire issue is fixed I think it’ll be great. Hope you got those issues straightened out
@@newyorkvisionary I appreciate that info. 🙏
@@mandomtn1962 NP! If you really want strong bullet proof tires I’d recommend Shinko 241’s or 244’s 3.0 x 16 size will fit these bikes perfectly. They’re motorcycle tires so they are far thicker and heavy duty. I just ordered 241’s for my bike. It’s easier than using crap bicycle tires with the Tannus armor. Good luck with your bike!
@@newyorkvisionary Will this increase the weight of the bike?
@@SomeguyinLife yes it will. I actually ended up not putting motorcycle tires on my bike. Not so sure how it will effect the motor or rims. And it voids your warranty. People have had luck with doing it but I didn’t want to. It will slow the bike down by 2mph as well.
