Great video again! You should be the head of marketing for Ariel Rider.
big thanks!!
@@bigteedo_ev4905 THEY NEED A KEPLER PRO WITH A 1500-2000W MOTOR 2000-2500 PEAK. WOULD BE PERFECT
@@BOOSTEDLASER Yep a 2k watt nominal hub & two batteries would be my choice.
Thanks Big T. I’m Jonesing to get my bike so much. Watching these videos makes it even harder. Great review
Cool! Thanks
Brah!!! That was awesome…had my heart going a little bit just watching. Can’t wait to get the email that I can order. Keep making the videos because I’ve already watched all of yours
Big thanks!! Happy you like the videos!
I'm working on Baltimore Harbor Pt.2 video now and should be up tomorrow!
All your videos are great and much appreciated. You helped me make up my mind and I am ordering the Kepler hi step in black and red and will have to wait till late October per Ariel Rider Back Order info to receive it. It is obviously worth the wait. Liked and subscribed..
Thanks again, Brother!
So far this is the best ebike test because we see battery duration on mix maximum speed. Thnx🍬🍪
Excellent run! Appreciate your time and explaning your finds and results! You put out some great videos! Best Kepler reviews so far! Enjoying my scoot daily! Ride safe!
Big thanks!
Really great work!
Seems pretty accurate with what their manual provided. 20 miles for hilly roads with high pedal assist/throttle, 30 miles for medium assist and cargo, 40 miles moderate pedalling and light assist used
Your video reminds me that I made the right decision in purchasing this amazing product. Currently, I own a Rad Rover 6 Plus. It is a good bike in certain terrain. However, the hills of Georgia reveal its weakness--not enough torque for climbing hills. When my Ariel Kepler arrives, I am anxious to experience the exhilaration of power that your educational videos provide. Thank you.
Cool thanks!
I have the Red Rover 6 Plus. It was my first ebike and I love it. Just pulled the trigger on the Kepler. I'm going to set it up with dual batteries like I have my rad Rover 6 setup.
@@pmazurek559 Hi Paul, I still have the Rad and ride it from time to time. The craftmanship of the Rad surpasses the Ariel Rider. For example, the gear shifts a lot smoother with the Rad. However, one cannot ignore the torque and power of the Ariel. Makes riding far more enjoyable.
@@pmazurek559 Hey Paul, I have a question about your double battery set up. I own the M2S electric bike full suspension, and I also want to install dual batteries. Which controller and secondary battery are you using if you don't mind me asking? I have a 48v 25Ah bike, I'm thinking of just buying the Kepler for that extra power, just would love the dual batteries set up as well.
Thanks in advance.
@@EliEli-wb7hg I'm using the controller that came with the Rad Rover. I just cut off the proprietary connector that they used and installed an xt60 connector. I use a triangle battery from UPP Battery. If you buy a battery from them don't buy the ones with a Chinese cells. Order directly from their website you don't pay tax or shipping.
Awesome video...thanks for sharing!
Cool thanks
Just ordered mine just now!!! Little excited Bro!!
love your videos. i order mines on7/1/22. your video on first ride put me over edge to buy it. did reasearch for 2mths. cause want to make a mistake, like my first bike lectric xp2.0. very disapointed. im 6-1 240. hoping for 30miles+. on light/medium pedal assist. will have to live threw ypur videos for now.
Big thanks! I believe you should get 30miles + with your Kepler I've done 32 miles throttle only keeping it under 20mph
Great video. I think you talked me into buying this bike
Thanks ! Yeah i love my Kepler! Haven't had any issues with the bike yet but some people say dealing with customer service is not the best
You should be the spokesperson for the Ariel Kepler, you obviously love this bike, it seems like the solid choice for a out of the box hub motor bike, great videos, Thanks
Thanks!
EXCELLENT VIDEO !!!!
and I haven't even got my ebike yet.
Sold my EUC and got my wife an ebike.
I'm next on deck !!!!!!!
Thanks! ... Cool thats Awesome 😎
Thank you for your review on this bike. This is perfect for the town we are living in. 90 percent of the town speed are 35 mph and below. the main street is 40 mph.
That's pretty decent for full throttle with such a small battery but because of range anxiety for around a year I decided to buy me a honda nc750x, but the fact that I'm watching means that ebike's are definitely not out of my system, especially the kepler which I almost committed to purchasing a month ago.
Great video and definitely worth the money 💰 I think 🤔
This is a badass video bruh when I saw the length of this video I said no I don't have time to watch it,but after that few minutes I got hooked this was a great run and I agree that bike is a beast..btw what app you used for the MPH?
I’ve been riding the the Lectric XP 2.0 for a while and I’m looking for that next step up. This looks like it might be it. A constant 30+ mph without peddling is nice. I did reach 42.6 mph on my Lectric XP for like 2 seconds before, but I was going down a really steep and long hill and was peddling like crazy.
man I have a lectric xp I love it so much but I'm so damn tempted to upgrade to this oh yeah and great video lol
Going from XP to Kepler is like another world lol...compared to XP this is a big big but if your alright with its size then you'll love everything else
@@bigteedo_ev4905 yeah I'm not very tall guy that would be my only worry
Thanks for all these videos sir, Ariel Rider best be getting you an affiliate link for all this free advertising haha. Any idea how much elevation gain you had during this trip? That might be another interesting factor or piece of data. Looks like some of us may want to upgrade to two batteries at some point! - Shane
Big thanks! Not sure elevation sorry.
I reached out to Ariel Rider they say they not offering discount codes right now SMH lol
Its so cool when yer doin close to 40 on a bike... I like to pedal real slow, acting like its all me,LOL, the looks are priceless...
Yup I do the same in certain situations 🤣👏🏽💯
I would love for a review on this e-bike with someone who is at least 250 lbs or more, in regards to top speed and range!
It’s got a good name to it and it’s quick
What's going on bro love your video make more it's been a while..
Both of my Keplers came with 17 psi in all of the tires and they looked full 🚲💨💨
I wish l would bought this bike before l got mine but they didn't have 2 years ago this the ebike for the money imo bro 100%
Great video! Topgun! You’re fly’n Mav! 😎 Thank you sir! 👍
What is the iPhone speed app and phone holder? Throttle lock?
Thanks!

Throttle lock?
We have some big bike group in my city that does like 10 to 20 mile rides. I think maybe 10 of the people have E Bikes. They have an Instagram and Facebook page. I see some of the e bikes in pics on their site. Nobody has a Kepler. I can't wait to go ride up on them and show off the Kepler 😂
can you stand comfterably on the bike when standing still on the high-step version (like at the start of the video) without your ballsack getting crushed? im 6'2 and want to make sure this bike can fit me good. might be placing the order tonight, considering you are 5'8", and i was worried the bike might be too tall for me from other reviewers on their site, yet seeing this video eases my mind on that.
Let's go! Let's go!
👏🏽👍🏽
As i watch the rain coming down sideways in buckets all i can think about is i wish I was following big Teedo on my Kepler 😭😭😭 the blue sky looks beautiful
Got mine 4 days ago. I can go 50 miles with Pedal Assist 1 going 16mph. I'm 6' 190 lbs
I've found that having the lights on MURDERS the battery on my Kepler (V1). So I try not to ride it at night
Great video. I don't have my Kepler yet (I'm putting together the money for it now), but I like these videos. I also really like the mirrors you have on that bike. What brand are those?

@@bigteedo_ev4905 thanks
Good times!!!!
Does anyone know how to get another stock battery for the Kepler?
Thanks for making this video, I’m just slightly larger than you and was wondering if this bike would be too big. I was very impressed with its performance and how well it handled the road. They should make all bikes with this power 😀 Have you tried turning the bike on while charging? I watched a video where if it does, you can hookup solar panels to the bike if it does. This would be a great option when riding to a destination where you’ll be spending some time at to recharge the battery. I also wonder if a second battery can be custom installed for greater range. 😉
The big is a bit big for me so if your slightly larger it should be fine for you! They also have a stepthru version
@@bigteedo_ev4905 yeah, that’s what I was thinking. Also, thanks for turning me onto E-bike guy, he really knows a lot. TTYS 😊
What gear were you in the whole time? Do you leave it in a single gear for throttle only and if so which one?
Also, were it not unlocked and limited to 20 mph, the range would be longer most likely?
Not sure what gear I was in but really doesn't matter if you throttle only. Yes for throttle only I don't mess with the gearshift. Yes much more range if only up to 20mph
Did you ever get to see more watts used than like 1300 from the motor? Like max output closer to 1600 watts?
Nope never seen more than 1,340w
Hey there Big “T” … question .., what app are you using for your speedometer? Please let me know when you have a second… thanks!
I have android phone so it's on the play store "Speedometer Pro "
What phone app are you using? Looks like it works great.
Thanks! It's called Speedometer Pro on Google Play
Ah.. Nice! Could easily do 30 plus with a bit of pedaling for real.👍
Think of what the range could be with 2 batteries and low assist . 60 plus miles. Still only $2,500 bike.
Hell of Ride!!! If I order today, how long of a wait might I have?? I have a XP 2.0 to keep me occupied for now!!
Thanks! On website it says late July early August
@@bigteedo_ev4905 By the way I found out through Ariel Rider that, the Kepler has a whopping 108 Nm of torque!! That pretty much blows all the other bikes off the road! 😎
@@jimbianca9560 wow nice! thanks for the info!!
Crazy that you hit 40mph!! Was that on flat ground? If not, what speed can you hit on flat ground? Thanks!!
No not on flat! most I hit going down hill was 42mph fastest on flat around 34mph
Do you know if there is a way of disabling the throttle to use only pedal assist while learning to ride the Kepler?
As far as I know you can't disable the throttle only the pedal asist
I've sitting up watching well lying in bed watching the the ride going and coming back it excite me and I want to purchase this machine if can help I'll be grateful
Bro I know that road. You riding a bike down Rt 40 is no joke! People go 70+ down that road
🐾⚡
Does anybody know if it has a key.
What's the real life max range (Say on PAS 1)
Got my kepler a couple days ago. I'm curious the range on level 1 assist, casual peddling
what's the speed on level 1?
@@toneighty6913 level 1 is around 20mph
@@bigteedo_ev4905 have you tried level 1 when it’s set to 9 levels instead of 5? Looks like you’re definitely enjoying it!
@@toneighty6913 not yet will test soon
When you coming back to video family
What if that was pedal assist only would the range double?
Not sure exactly but should be
Why do you keep letting off the throttle on long stretches does the motor over heat if you just hold it down for a long period of time?
The motor hasn't overheated
I let off to help not strain motor
@@bigteedo_ev4905 so it's not able to maintain speed under constant throttle? Reason why I ask is I'm thinking of getting one to commute to work and I want to throttle out in the way home
@Skye Is the Limit I haven't had any problems using throttle only to commute but most of the time I mix in peddling to make motor last longer
@@bigteedo_ev4905 ah I gotcha thank you sir for the info
I want my setup just like yours too so if you want to put a list out there
If you click on links in description it has everything I've added to bike so far
Do you know where to buy a second battery?
Sorry only battery I know is from Ariel Rider but its not available yet .otherwise you would have to buy aftermarket battery and need to DIY .
What app do you use for the speed?
Speedometer pro on Android
Got someone in my town selling a kepler for 1800🤯 thinking about pulling the trigger I have a 48v x class need something for the family to ride w me
Cool I Absolutely Love my Kepler it's best ebike for the money!!
@@bigteedo_ev4905 was gonna go for the grizzly but imo the kepler is almost just as good just doesn't have the dual motor and power im sure is a little less but the speed compared to both I think the kepler would be able to keep up somewhat w the grizzly better the my 48v
@@pistolp21 yes 52V Kepler beats 48V X Class but not grizzly but probably close on top end but ride comfort is better on Kepler
@@bigteedo_ev4905 you just got another sub bro good reviews.
@@pistolp21 cool thanks
What's probably going to happen is in the US they will govern ebikes like the UK and or cap the motors ebikes are allowed to have to 500w and stricter regulation they will actually enforce.
there are regulations already. class 1, 2 and 3. i looked up my state regulations and it said 750w max but i doubt cops will waste their time unless your're being reckless in the wrong place like neighborhoods. also have to wear a helmet if it's a class 3 (up to 28mph). i was born in 79', my generation hates to be told to wear a helmet. 80's and 90's were fun
i was wrong. throttle is only allowed on class 2 with a 20mph top speed... and i think 750w was the max for a tax credit.
Class 1: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only
when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance
when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
Class 2: Bicycle equipped with a throttle-actuated motor, and that
ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 20 mph.
Class 3: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only
when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance
when the e-bike reaches 28 mph.
@Nunya Bidness I called Ashland E Bikes about my Kepler and they said state law they can only work on 750Watt and under. I just wanted them to look it over and adjust derailer and they said no.
@@Deecontractor nah, they're just pissy they didn't sell you a bike. excuses.
@@azr2d1 I think so too!!!
How much do you weight?
Around 190lbs
@Dan Robinson cool glad I could help!
Lith this
What's a V2???
It is the second version of the AR Kepler it comes with more features like turn signals and bell . The very first batch didn't come with certain things
100 percent throttle only forealz? 30-33mph wow 😮. .. my friend kepler doesn’t go that fast 28mph that’s it.
Only 22 miles on throttle with two batteries? That's def not so good imagine in cold weather probaly only 10 miles. So the x class has better range
This was when I first got the bike and was only one battery
@Bigteedo_EV I see I've mistaken this for the grizzly, but the battery life still isn't impressive I speak in the perspective of doing food delivery.
Just get a Himiway Zebra
Zebra is a downgrade 😆

It would be neat if an ebike company put some "reserve tank battery" within the bike. About 10% of the actual battery hidden, just incase of emergency. Like someone runs out of battery but a dog starts chasing them or something.
🧊
You could also look at the last bar as that and with such a small battery on these things it's not worth loosing any range.
@@Trillville43

Yea, but I want to complicate sh't, thou.

Nonsense. You can peddle in emergencies. Or consider the lower 20% as your emergency. Don't make this more complicated than it should be.
