Its rapid acceleration and power potential make it unwise for a first ebike ride however. The Grizzly is a beast of an ebike with dual motors and unheard of battery capacity. Integrated moto-headlight is one of brightest on market.For such a high-performance ebike, it’s also worth considering supplementing them with a tire liner, such as those offered by Tannus (use code: TANNUSXEBE for a discount at checkout). Puncture-resistent 20″x4″ CST tires with reflective sidewalls are also worth a mention. Ariel Rider’s supplied single banana seat falls a little short but an extension can be purchased.

Be warned that the custom seat tested seemed to carry heat when operating at full throttle. And the headlight and taillight can both be automatically activated via the display.Ĭustom seats are available, via suppliers like JB Seats (pictured above), giving more room for passengers – who have their rear pegs pre-installed.
The impressive, moto-style integrated headlight is one of the brightest on the market. Equally, although it would have been nice to see an 11/32 or 11/34 sprocket, the 14-34T “MegaRange” Shimano rear freewheel, with 52 tooth front chainring, is fine, again, in light of pedal-power use. A guarded Shimano Altus, 7-speed, derailleur is fairly standard but, in reality, this is not a deal-breaker for such a powerful bike that’s not necessarily best suited for pedaling. The brakes include motor cutoffs which immediately cut power to the motor when applied. It’s comforting to find quality, hydraulic Tektro brakes and levers on this capable ebike. Added ergonomics are even found in the cushioned, faux-leather grips. And the inverted, motorbike-style front fork – with a sturdy dual crown – give great dampening up top. They can be adjusted to suit rider weight via air valves – which do need a shock pump, rather than regular bike pump – and small spanner wrenches. Mighty, dual, spring air shocks provide a nice, cushy rear. Another nice feature is an access passcode. Ariel Rider estimates a range of 35 to 75 miles, though this figure falls the more both motors and full throttle are used.īattery and speed info is also shown on the attractive color LCD backlit display. Our 225 lb tester easily cruised up to 36MPH, but be sure to ride responsibly and within the limits of local laws. The included 5 amp charger is a major win, enabling full charge in 3 or 4 hours at front and back, respectively, compared with a wait of 7.5 to 10 hours for the standard 2 amp ebike charger.Īlthough the bike ships with the Class 2, 20 MPH limit, it is possible to switch it up to the Class 3 speed of 28 MPH and beyond. Batteries can be charged on or off the bike and have useful LED meters on each casing, visible without removal. But engaging both motors is what turns up the fun factor.Ī front frame-mounted battery adds 15AH to the 20AH from the under-seat battery at rear, providing a total of 52V 35Ah of capacity (1820 watt-hours). These options make for easy adaptations for terrain, riding styles or even conserving battery. This dual motor technology means riders can choose all-wheel, or front or rear drives, with a simple switch at the left handle. Two custom-built, Bafang-hub motors each have 1000W nominal and 1850W peak power.
