I hate writing reviews and generally only do so to warn others of potential issues, but I felt compelled to make an exception in this case. The quality of the bikes and the experience was simply that exceptional. The bikes: The frame is steel with solid welds, a durable, attractive finish, adjustable front fork and a pleasing aesthetic despite its bulk. It also comes with a better than average array of components, including a sturdy rear rack, easy to use electronics and hydraulic disk brakes. Finally, it has a battery—motor combination that is significantly better than anything offered by its competitors. The experience: the bikes arrived in nearly perfect condition. The only issue was the button on the light switch had fallen to the bottom of the box and become deformed during transport. I was able to reform it well enough to get it back into the slot but it would stick when pushed. I contacted Ariel Rider and I was immediately sent not just a new button but the entire new light switch. Since then, we have put more than 100 miles on them and found them to be as exceptionally well-made as they appear. They accelerate briskly, ride smoothly on paved and gravel roads, and are able to handle dirt and trail bike trails. They are heavy compared to traditional bikes but, with the gearing, can be comfortable pedaled in most circumstances without pedal assist. To put the matter plainly, you get a significantly better motor and battery, better than average components such as a rear rack, hydraulic brakes and high quality electrical components for $200-300 less than its closest competitors. This ebike is clearly the best buy on the market and it it is not even close; and it is backed by quality service. Besides and perhaps more importantly, it is about as much fun as you can legally have.
Don't ask this company to honor their warranty. Been waiting for our a year to send my replacement parts because that's how it was shipped. Scratched paint, bent front axal, pin hole in rear shock. This is right out of the box. Contacted ariel as soon as I got the bike and they said they would ship parts out as soon as they can. It's been a year + and still nothing. How can I enjoy my " ariel rider grizzly experience " with a faulty bike? Tried contacting company with no answer or resolve. I bought 2 bikes from them spent a lot of money. Just wish they would correct this problem.
It’s a Big Beast that looks great and has the Power to get you going. I’m 6’2 - 250lbs, I’m glad that I went with the step through, it fits my size perfectly.
The Build quality seems good, only time will tell how it holds up, but so far so good. I added mirrors, a shock post, color matching pedals, a bag and been riding it daily, it does everything I need it to do. Battery range is what’s expected, if using throttle only (at 250lbs) it goes down pretty quick, but using pedal assist, this thing does just fine with range, but I will be investing in a 2nd battery in the future.
I received my Kepler 2 months after placing my order and was very upset with the delay, although the communication was satisfactory.
After receiving the bike and riding it for over 100 miles, now; I would have been willing to wait another 2 months! The bike is awesome and then some. I couldn't be more satisfied with the product! Awesome bike! My friend is waiting on delivery of the Grizzly. I might be back for more!!!
The bike is great. Mine actually came with a battery that didn't work. I have sent it in and I was told it was being sent back today so I should have it back. Hopefully, they will also send the charger they asked me to send them. I was able to ride it without the battery and found that first gear doesn't really work, but I presume it will work well otherwise. I hope that it will be possible to buy replacement parts like a backup battery in the future so that the bike will provide satisfaction down the years. One other suggestion: I have heard on the forums that the light is not very bright and that the seat is uncomfortable. Otherwise, keep up the good work.
It's lots of fun. Had it for 2 weeks and have already ridden over 200 miles. I use it for my commuter transportation and it's saving me a bundle in gas costs.
so far it seems great the motor seems a little louder then I thought it would be I will compare it with my friends rad rover when I get a chance other then that I love the power great bike thank you
The Ariel Rider 52 v Kepler has the best value, specifications, and build quality for any E-Bike under $2000.00. With its 1000 watt motor, high amp controller, and 20 amp 52 volt battery, color screen, and hydraulic brakes really sets it apart from any competitor. It is a large heavy bike built for traveling or commuting daily. Kepler owners really happy with purchasing this model. Only complaints have been with the 4-6 week wait to get the bike delivered. Customer service has been responsive to those problems that have come up. So if you want a really great E-bike that is the most fun to ride and will impress all of your friends, this is the one for you!
Pros:
Massive power (270lb rider)
Great range
Good build quality for the price point
Cons:
Brakes are pretty good. Could use a little more stopping power give the speed capability and weight of bike.
Step over doesn't have much room for a bottle/cage
Heavy (but expected given range and power)
Headlight could be a bit brighter
Can't custom set PAS speed
