Took little over 2 months to get my D-Class after ordering but after receiving it, its been a blast. So far have just under 80 miles ridden. Steep hills are no problem and speed is awesome. My only two dislikes are the plastic chain guard on this new model (2020), would've preferred the classic bash guard on the chainring on last year's model as it looks better and easier for me to work with when my chain accidently hops off from shifting gears too fast on bumps, and the lack of a rear suspension.

I'm only about 5'3" and I am able to ride the D-Class comfortably. Not 100% flat foot but enough to touch the ground to stay stable on a hill waiting on the light. I am flat foot if I lean the bike to the side like a motorcycle.

I received my D-class and it is an amazing machine. Lives up to all the hype! One thing was my battery was not charging fully, but they made it right and sent me a new one. E-mail support was on point and pleasant. I would recommend Ariel Rider to anyone looking for an e-bike. 5 stars!

D-Class Dual-Motored Scrambler Ebike

I ordered one. Needless to say it was worth the wait. The bike is truly awesome. 1st day it got here and the wife saw me zipping around, “I want one!” I should have known. Went inside and ordered another on the spot. Now we can’t wait to go riding together. It climbs all the trails around our local mountains like a best. It handles equally well on roads. My 36 year old don came over today to see it. He took it out for a spin. Been awhile since I saw such a big smile from him. I think he was 8. To quote, he said, “I’m not gonna lie. I want one.” It’s that good. He was impressed, as I am at how well built and solid it is. It’s quality thru and thru. Looks like there will be more orders going in. Thanks Ariel for emptying my bank account. Just kidding. It’s worth every penny to see those smiles.

Let me start by saying I am an e-bike enthusiast. Over the past three years I have purchased five e-bikes (everything from folding fat tire bikes to exotic e-bikes priced over $8k). I am no e-bike expert, but I am no stranger to high performance electric bikes either. Ariel Rider's D-Class fits somewhere between raw power of a high performance bike and practicality of an everyday utility bike: dual motors, an intelligently designed electronic readout screen, a headlight that senses night and day conditions automatically, pedal assist, throttle control, Shimano 7 speed shifter, a sleek frame, and on and on. Rack and basket attachments round out this feature-rich bike, making the switch from fun toy to utility vehicle seamless. I have only had the bike for less than a week now, but I must admit that I am extremely pleased. With that said, if you're expecting to make a purchase today and receive a bike in a week or two, you'll be sadly disappointed. The shipping turnaround times are extremely long, likely due to the time it takes to receive a new shipment of bikes from an overseas supplier. Whatever the case may be, this is a big deal and deserves to be included in the review. It can take upwards of two months to receive your bike, and this timeframe cannot be accelerated. If you are looking to make a Christmas purchase, buy the bike now. Ariel Rider's customer service is average. Each time I sent Ariel Rider an email inquiry, a representative always responded within 24 hours (a more than acceptable response turnaround time). The website suggests you contact customer service by email as they cannot guarantee a speedy phone response. Again, I have no complaints about email vs phoning but some might. Overall, my buying experience was a lengthy one but good. I would definitely recommend the D-Class bike to a friend.
