![]() The dual-piston hydraulic disc brakes, seven-speed Shimano shifter, and KMC chain are all typical bike parts, though I can tell you that you’re unlikely to get much real-world use out of the last two. Technically this is an electric bicycle and so technically it has bike parts. Dual-chargers cost the company a bit more, but it’s the way to go for anyone who uses their e-bike often and wants to be back on the road quickly. I’ve seen dual battery e-bikes come with a single charger, which can be annoying to switch back and forth between batteries. The bike also comes with two chargers so you can charge both batteries at the same time. And if you’re wondering where the $3,099 price comes from, the dual batteries and dual motors bear much of the responsibility. But just shy of 2 kWh on an e-bike is plenty for nearly everyone. That’s enough for up to 75 miles (120 km) of range, which in technical terms is “more than enough.” If you’re riding off-road, or just going fast on the pavement, you won’t get nearly that much range. Between the pair of them are 1,820 Wh of capacity. To supply those two hungry motors, you also get two giant batteries. So keep that in mind if you want to go through the unlocking procedure.Įven if you don’t unlock it to the “off-road only modes” and instead you stick to 20 mph (32 km/h) on throttle or 28 mph (45 km/h) on pedal assist, the extreme power of dual motors still has the added benefit of impressive hill climbing and quick acceleration. That also means it will no longer be street legal in areas that limit e-bikes to Class 1, 2, or 3 performance (i.e. To hit the top speed of the mid 30’s of mph, you’ll need to unlock the bike from its factory settings. Or if you just don’t want to do dual-wheel burnouts after each stop sign. I generally leave it in all-wheel drive, but flicking it to rear-wheel drive is a good way to drop the power if you ride through a wet spot or know you’re coming up on a patch of sand. This bike is visually loud, so it might as well announce its presence as well.Ī selector switch on the handlebars lets you choose between front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, or all-wheel drive. It doesn’t bother me, though, as it fits the ride. That helps them provide that power over many years without tearing themselves apart, but it also means you get a constant whirring sound from the motors. They use steel gears internally instead of the typical nylon gears. The dual 1,000W motors are rated for a peak output of 1,850W each for a total of 3,700W combined. The Ariel Rider Grizzly is a powerful e-bike, make no mistake.
