[#4] bottom bracket/fenders/thumb throttle/rear hitch carrier stuff.. It seems that my previous threads are getting some decent views, so I may as well keep on keeping on. Plus, my 4th floor condo's elevator is OTS for awhile, so I am basically being held hostage.. Or not.. As always, it will be...

This is going to be a short- content thread. My 2019 M2S(brand) R750 hard tail, 750w BaFang rear hub beast (aka WhiteyFord) now has 12,633 total, and totally FLAT-FREE, miles on the odometer. This magnificent beast recently required a change of the tire combo from the 26”x3” DURO(brand) BeachBum...

[#3] The X52 cockpit array.. I'm having to wait for a plumber to arrive, so I'll go ahead and get this thread started. As always, it is to your advantage to first scroll down to the end of this thread to view the photo's. That way, everything that you are about to read will make more sense...

#2.. X48/X52 Stem and ChainRing modifications.. It is snowing today, so I will commence another thread detailing modifications that I have made to my blue 2021 X52 Lil' Mini-Beast. It is to your advantage to first go ahead and scroll down to the end of this post and examine the photo's. That...

This is going to be thread posting #1 in what will be a series of separate thread posting by me in regards to my dealings with the Mighty Lil' Beast known as the X52 (and X48) Ariel Rider ebike. First of all, my “information”: 70 years old.. 5'9” tall.. Out-the-door bike rider weight is 200...

Hi, Thankfully, Ariel does NOT use a proprietary battery. Their ebike 48v and 52v "X" bikes use a Reention Dorado 505mm (long) battery casing. If you purchase a 16ah, or higher, battery, it will definately be 505mm long. Stay away from DHGate and AliExpress website vendors. I tried to file a...

Oh, OK. I just assumed that you were referring to the cell phone unit. My bad.

It looks like ARIEL really hit a home run with this new "basic" model ebike. It blows the doors off any other ebike within the $1,500 and down price range. I got a real chuckle out of your 60 mile ride accomplishment. Today I , too, did a 60 mile ride on one of my fabulous M2S (brand) fat...

I decided that this is the best route for dealing with the torque sensor/cadence sensor crap: https://arielrider.com/products/x-class-52v?variant=37498729857200 My $2,200US blue ebike is due to ship in 3 weeks. 52v/18ah battery. 36mph throttle-only top speed--Motorcycle tires are awaiting the...

[ # 12-- Month 36 and mileage 17,665 ] October 2017: ebike #1 arrived. A total piece of crappola. December 2017: ebike #2 arrived. A whole lot better than ebike #1. I was sufficiently satisfied with #2 until the day I encountered a rider mounted on what would soon be ebike #3. The day...

Fun toyz fer sure. I can't even imagine weighing 105 pounds (her) and blitzing the forest service/fire roads on one of these beasts. I also notice that hers is a step-thru model, indicating 24" tires. As for tire pressure: I use multi-tire combo set-ups on both my bikes (actually 3 tires and...

Hi, They are both R750 versions: a 2019 HardTail and a 2018 KUSH(now 750FS designation) and both are AWESOME. I will soon be posting a "36 month @17,655 mile update" for the 2018 KUSH. It is very gratifying/satisfying to know that I can just head out the front door on my daily 50+ milers and...

[Updated on Feb 11,2022] Hi Jbiker1, I weigh 205 pounds when walking out the door to go riding (I carry a 20 pound backpack). My routes are all pretty much the same speed/type terrain as what you mention. On a fat tire ebike (I own two M2S brand) using the rear hub Bafang 750watt...

Hi, I, too, am looking into this/your question. I just emailed Ariel, but their answer was non- commital (naturally). If someone can post a photo of the connector section of the 52v battery then I'll be able decide its compatibility. Is the 52v/18ah battery used on the X Class 52V ebike the...

Hi, They are pricing many of their Reention Dorado battery-equipped ebikes without the battery. I assume that the buyer will select the size battery of their choice (12.8ah,, 16ah,, 21ah, etc) as an additional "cart" add-on. I might be wrong, but that scenario is what I saw on the website. Not...

Check out their website: https://shop.m2sbikes.com/ A very interesting concept fer sure..

Congrats on the dual ebike purchase. My 2018 dual-suspension KUSH now has 17,000 miles on the odometer. My 2019 R750 now has 9,000 miles on its odometer. They both continue to purr along just as efficiently (and as quietly) as mile #1. It tickles me to know that I can hop on either one of these...

Hi ChrisJ77. Welcome to the world of EBReview Forums. I now own 5 pair of handcuffs: each ebike has its own because I got tired of transferring them from bike to bike. I never paid more than $15 per set. Here is the ebay link...

The arc is still perfect. See middle photo at the end of #11.. See how the arc is consistent? Plus, when you ride the bike, the shock will compress a little. No problem when using my rear shock pump. Easy Breezy. Lots of nozzle room for both air valves. The bike sits just a little bit higher...

[UPDATED Jan 26, 2021] Well, who da thunk it. Where is it installed? Bottom bracket?? Rear wheel dropout area?? Realistically, this ebike will most likely still have its original component: a torque sensor bottom bracket.. More Smoke and Mirrors from BIKTRIX/Roshan. If you will recall from my...
