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 tire ebikes (I own two from that company). I try to do a 50 mile/4+hour ride pretty much every day. I am 70 years old, retired, and have no life-- but I sure am having fun.
I ordered the ARIEL X52 (in blue) on May 19th. Hopefully, it will ship out to me this next week. But, if not, no problem because I still have my two other e-toyz to keep me entertained. I really look forward to putting the new lil' blue beast into rotation with my other monsters.
I think that some potential buyers may be put off by lack of a speedometer/odometer, etc. Is there any chance you can do an "install" for an inexpensive cycling computer

I think that a "wired" (as opposed to "wireless") unit will be the way to go because the ebike electrical items may interfere with reception. My very 1st ebike (I currently own 5) was without a cycling speedo unit. I tried a wireless unit and it was not receiving "info". I installed a wired unit and everything was okie-dokie. Also, the inexpensive unit I linked above works with a front disc brake.
