M-Class Urban Electric Bike

Has the features I wanted and a reasonable price.

C-Class Electric Commuter Bike

Rear Rack Basket

The M-Class turned out to be my dream bike! Everything about it is peak product design. This would have gotten 5 Stars but my rear tire popped seemingly without reason, about 30 miles in. Luckily, unlike with a hub motor, the tube replacement was relatively easy. Understandably to save on cost, it clearly comes with base level tires and tubes. My only other complaint would be speed. Being used to a hub motor, I wish peddling took a bit less work. For example on top PAS 5 shortly after hitting 20mph you start hamster peddling. Which makes maintaining a higher speed a lot of work. Other than that it seems like a great bike! Maybe Ariel Rider can offer a premium model which comes with high quality tires,tubes, and seating.

Once my wife tried my Ariel Rider M-Class, she wanted one! It replaced her hub drive cadence sensor bike.

....to ride this bike. Absolutely love it. Changed the seat out to something a bit more comfy. Other than that, it is a great bike and so much fun to ride.

The D-Class met my expectations for range, speed, and power. The bike is fantastic. Customer service requires attention. The mirrors I ordered was not in stock and took a month to receive. Would have been nice to have known prior to ordering.

Bike came 4 days ago, so far so good! Surprised to find out the mid–drive motor is newer generation that doesn’t require pedal assist to be 0 for throttle to work, so anytime you need the throttle it’s available. LCD Control Panel has a usb charge Port!. Torque sensor works well, feels more like a real bike when you pedal, my wife loves it, steep hill was no problem with this mid-drive. I also have another Rad bike which only has cadence – love that too - but having torque sense that reacts to how hard you pedal —is even a better ride. Only issue is my right brake handle needs adjustment, handlebar grips too cushy. Stem adjustment options are really slick, Btw, my Blue M came with the rear rack standard, only had to buy the front rack, headlight made to attach to front of rack too. And the bike really is lighter. So now looking to get the C-Class in matching blue, while they are in stock...

This Day class bike is awesome! Fast and sturdy. So much fun to ride specially on high hills because of this dual motor. Love it! 245 lbs. 6 feet tall. Recommend this bike.

This is my first e-bike. I would rate it as wonderful. I'm not a super handy person, so I had some questions on the assembly when delivered. However, I sent emails and received quick responses. Note that no instructions were included; not sure why that's the case. Once assembled, the bike slipped when peddling. Again, sent an email and got a video back on how to easily fix. So, don't be shy about asking questions! Well engineered bike!

great product. But instructions at all. Not on the website. I hope I've put it on the right way. And someone just posted about this again. Please solve the issue.

I spent 3 months looking at every e-bike that was available, either by direct sale through the internet or in brick and mortar shops. I set up spread sheets that compared the specifications on many bikes and looked at every review or video that I could find for those bikes. At the end, I decided that the best bike for my needs and the best bike deal was the Ariel Rider C-Class bike. I was right.

I received my C-Class in late June 2020, after a long delay with the UPS shipment process. It was everything I expected. The bike is an 18” frame and is just right for my 6’2” height. Assembly was reasonably easy with no help from the manual and no video for assembly of the C-Class (more about the manual later). I chose the Blue color for the bike and it is truly beautiful. I think the bike is an exceptional value with a mid-drive motor, Hydraulic disc brakes, internal gear hub and much more. I especially appreciate the chain cover on the bike. If you compare the price of this bike to other mid-drive motor bikes, it is an outstanding value. I added the optional front basket and it fills the front of the bike out nicely and is great for carrying packages and other items.

The bike is easy to drive and very comfortable with the suspension seat post and front fork. It takes hills with ease and the control system is easy to understand and use. The bike is very well built and I am pleased and impressed with the way it operates.

As to the manual, it really needs a lot of work. It appears that is was created by using another manual and just pasting and cutting to try to cover the 2020 version of the C-Class. Some information in the manual is actually incorrect. On the flip side, an email to customer service does get answers in a reasonable time and this resolves a lot of questions.

Overall, I really enjoy riding the bike, am impressed with its features and power, and would recommend it to anybody.

This is my first ebike I was not sure what to get after a friend told me what to look for i bought the class c commuter. He owned a fat tire ebike and payed way more for a lesser bike I am so happy with this bike I am a 60 year old and with knee problems I never thought I would ride again thank you Ariel way to go what a great bike.

My wife and I just got C-Class bikes after doing lots of research, and we couldn't be happier. Our decision was based on lots of feedback we read from other owners, but also because of several features that we only found on much higher priced ebikes: sturdy frame, mid-drive high powered motor, higher end hydraulic brakes, built-in racks, suspension seat, and easy-to-configure handle bars. We got these for our 20th wedding anniversary and plan to use these for casual rides around our hilly town, quick errands to the farmers market and grocery store, lunch dates, and even some easy trail rides since these ebikes can handle some light off-road rides as well. We were able to pickup the bikes from a local warehouse so did not have to worry about shipping damages and delays, but I would not be worried about shipping as these bikes were packed very well in double thick cardboard boxes. Easy to assemble once you figure out the front brake piece...watch videos before you start as that will help. First bike took me an hour to assemble because I didn't watch the videos, second bike took 10 minutes! You cannot beat these ebikes for price and quality. We highly recommend them, and they are so much fun. Last summer, we did ebike tours in Rome and Paris, and that is what led to our love of ebiking. We are by no means fitness gurus, but these ebikes make it fun to get out and ride and you can get some exercise by using less power assist. We live in a very hilly city so I definitely can get in a workout on these bikes, but can also have a very easy ride where I don't break a sweat. Truly fun to ride...enjoy, you won't regret your purchase!

It’s nice to have a STURDY front basket to carry a variety of items. Lightweight but stout. Carries large items when needed and styled to the rest of the bike.

This bike is so much fun to ride, plenty of power and range as well. All my friends want to ride it!

This is an awesome bike with even better customer service. They are on the ball and will take care if you. Lots of features for the money.

I do have a couple items that could be improved: the seat isn’t very comfortable after an hour and wish I had more leverage after 25 mph so I would haven't to pedal so fast. Also the front fender is very hard to put on.

After many weeks of research and reviews, we are the new happy owners of the Ariel Rider C-Class bike. The bike is well built with great features and the best part, it's a great value. The bike was bought for my wife as she has always struggled with hills and high altitude trails in CO. Now every trail is a flat road to her. She rides everywhere and enjoys biking once again. Great job Ariel, I'll be ordering mine soon.

Comfortable ride with smooth motor function. All the features of a very expensive bike in an affordable price range. Great bike.

I bought a D-Class a few weeks ago. I love it. My wife rode it several times and decided she wanted an e-bike. We ended up ordering a C-Class for her. It arrived on July 2, 2020. It was a little trickier to assemble. It is a very different riding experience than my D-Class. She loves it and I do too.
It's fast and eats up hills. We did orders a new seat we are both in our 60's and want a softer wider seat. We are sold on Ariel Rider they make a great product.

This is my first electric bike and I love it. For the price you get decent components and it's super fun to ride. I commute to work everyday and it's easy to load and carry my stuff.

I put a surf rack on this bike and use it to go surfing at a beach that's a few miles from my house. It's perfect for this use, and the bike is so fun and easy to use that I may commute to work with it from time to time. The bike makes going up steep hills almost effortless. The drive train is smooth and powerful, and the control system is intuitive. I don't know of any other bike with comparable features that isn't far more expensive. The front fork and suspension seat are pretty low-end, but, given the low price, this is completely understandable. The rest of the bike far exceeded my expectations.

As people have noted in other reviews, the online user's manual is pretty bad. Its assembly instructions are useless, and the rest of the manual has lots of misprints and is spotty in terms of what it covers. That said, people with basic familiarity with bike assembly should be able to figure out how to assemble the bike. One hint that may be useful to people: although the bike ships with many spacers on the front fork's mounting stem, you should only use two of the spacers when you assemble the bike. I guessed this, and then confirmed with customer service that this was the right guess.

One other positive: I've contacted customer service a few times with questions and got helpful responses nearly immediately.

Overall, I highly recommend this bike.

I love this thing. Great fun.

Love the bike so far it has a lot of features on it. I do have a couple items that could be improved. Better seat. It is only good for about 15 miles before it is sore. Also I was there was more leverage when you get above 25 mph with you trying to pedal so fast.

Love this bike, very sturdy, there is one negative - no directions on assembly, everything was pretty intuitive except tightening the stem that pre-loads the gears on the stem, pretty important!!! There was a neighbor who worked at a bike shop that noticed it was loose & he helped me find the screw to tighten it. But besides that it is great, don't hesitate to buy.

C-Class Electric Commuter Bike

I love this bike! It is so fun to ride! I'm amazed at the power while using both hub motors taking off from initial start.Plan on using it this whole summer.

My X-Class arrived with out damage to the box or the contents...unpacking and assembly were straight forward and quite simple ,really. I did check out the available articles on YouTube and there was some useful info there. After assembly My Granddaughter And I took The X out and around and it is a Blast,so far at least the power is impressive and the controller reacts promptly,I find PAS 2 and 3 for even small hills very good assistance. Old Blue (original ,huh) seems excellent value,bang for the buck is way up there. I'm 72 and not in top shape and this bike is good fun and a bit of exercise without being too much,the handling is fine for what it is ,a small bicycle and as a life long motorcyclist it reminds of those long ago days with a light weight motorbike bopping around the neighborhood...fun and practical for around town

Unable to provide review since I have not received the bakes ordered at the end of May.

After a flawless and almost instant buying experience online at the Ariel Rider website, we had our first AR bike on the way to our house! The bike arrived 2 days later in a near mint shipping box and was expertly stapled and banded for safe transport. After opening the box (full of foam protection sheets and blocks along with foam wrapping and tie wraps to help make the trip securely) the bike was in perfect shape with no damage and everything well supported. After taking the bike out and setting all the parts around us, the almost fully assembled bike (front wheel and fender with the head light and seat and post) went together quickly with the included tools. First ride went quite well, but we decided that we needed a shorter seat height and that would accomplished by getting a non suspension seat post. Once with new post with a wide saddle seat was installed, the bike rode like a dream for my vertically challenged GF (4'-11 3/4") Plenty of power to pull up hills and smooth on the roadways. The hydraulic brakes along with front suspension make for a sure footed bike that can take on any surface it goes on! The 7 speed in hub drive system is super quiet and shifts like silk. For her very first e-bike ,she is in love with the M-class and cant wait to go for more adventures!

Perfect fit! Just what the bike needed.

Since receiving my C Class I've been riding around my neighborhood inviting all my neighbors to try it out. I live at the top of a hill and this bike just chews through that hill like it's level ground. I love it. Love the mid-drive motor, hub gears, hydraulic disc brakes and the suspension fork and seat post. Great bike.

It works, rather primitive and hard to really tell if it's working. However with practice you can clean your chain with less hands on mess. You will still get dirty but that should be expected.

Nice and sturdy easy to install.

I have had this bike for almost three weeks now and have put 135 miles on it. I live in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Virginia and my home is surrounded by hills, steep hills, and lots of them. This bike tackles any hill with ease. I use the pedal assist 99% of the time. Really helps with battery life plus, I love the sensation of the pedal assist. It really takes off! I would equate the amount of effort I am putting into pedaling with a casual stroll through the park. This is my first e-bike and I can say that it has blown my expectations out of the water. This thing is awesome! So much fun. Tons of torque, plenty of battery life, looks great! I highly recommend this bike or any other bike from Ariel Rider!

Initially was looking at Rad Mini or Super73 but came across the D-Class. So much fun to ride, no regrets. Wasn't sold on the dual motor at first but that really adds some power especially up hills. Very happy with purchase and support has been great as well.

my order is complete. thanks ariel rider!

Works well, I put a collapsible milk crate on it. Bungee it on. Whenever I need to pick up some San Diego local brew I am ready to bring it home.

I have my D-Class for over two weeks now and has logged over a hundred miles! This bike is really fun and I especially enjoy it because I can share the joy of riding with a passenger! Plenty of power to go on hills with both motors running. The only downside is that the motors produce a relatively loud noise, particularly at high speeds. I think the design is really cool and the bike looks very well-made. I'm finding this ebike to be really fun and convenient to ride around town because it's just easy to handle and quite zippy!!
