The electronics are some of the only original parts still there. It’s now a tribrid: electric, gas, and ass. I’ve got hundred mile round trips in mind and a 500 watt hour battery and sub 20mph cruising speed weren’t ideal. The Staton kit was competitive with another battery and gave me an...

Okay, This thing is now a mechanical monster. There’s finishing touches yet to be touched but, it’s reasonably broken in after over 50 miles. It looks a bit rough and yet, I’m pretty smitten so far. The friction drive is a bit finicky but, not hard to figure out as long as you remember you’re...

I have the bike at the LBS right now and by the time I have it back the only original parts will be the frame, mid-drive, battery, fork, and chain. I decided on a NuVinci hub. I’d like to junk the suntour fork, but apparently it has a custom length steerer tube length and it’s next to impossible...

Apologies for lack of tact. The attempt was to probe, not impugn. I have other replies on this thread that are a bit better fleshed and may explain though not excuse.

Stating the reason for feeling compelled to ask is both being rude and trolling? So if I ask you what value you place on your word I suppose that's some sort of personal attack? If integrity is in short supply generally how are your stocks holding out isn't an inquiry, but an injury?

Worst case for me is I have to use locally available resources to straighten out the bike. Luckily Tulsa is home to both an aeronautics school and American Airlines maintenance hub...digging up an aircraft mechanic whose literal bread and butter is electromechanical control systems isn't too...

I wrote a review of the 2020 Ariel M-class. Within a couple hours it was up. I updated it...same thing. To that point the forum never dropped my thread. Every time I logged in, there it was. Like a puppy. It may have had a notice that said it was awaiting review before being made public, but...

Once again...glad I paid for the privilege of being a pedestrian in a city w/out real bus service or sidewalks where everything is a minimum 10mi away. I guess I just need to hope I don't need to be more than 2 places in a day, because no matter how early you start, you only walk so fast...

I just bought a 2020 m-class and with about 6 hours in the saddle had the rear hub drop all gears in traffic. While I do love adrenaline; I have to say the first time I nearly lose my life as a result of a defective product is the last time I have anything nice to say about the folks putting...

So, I recently purchased and reviewed the 2020 M-class. While the initial review was positive it was up. As soon as I mentioned a major part failure that put me in mortal danger the thread was deleted. I'm sure this will be too.

So are you just a clearing-house for factory second merch or what? I left a review of my new ebike...as long as it was positive the thread was alive. As soon as I mentioned yesterday's catastrophic failure it disappeared. That's far from unbiased. Integrity seems in short supply these days.

Last updated: 1/24/20 bop Hi all. New here and thought I'd drop a note. The Ariel community seems a bit sparse so I'll add my thoughts as a new owner. Looked at ebikes for a while, but couldn't quite find a good fit. I was in need of something compact and insistent on a mid-drive so, here I am...
