The Engineering

Built On Better Technology

Oil-Cooled Hub Motor

Oil-Cooled Hub Motor

3,000W rated · 8,000W peak · 250 Nm

Oil-Cooling For Sustained Power

Ariel Rider oil-cools the hub so it sheds heat far better than an air-cooled motor — the pitch is roughly 5× the cooling, so it holds full power on long pulls instead of derating.

8,000W Peak, 250 Nm

A 3,000W-rated motor peaks at 8,000 watts and 250 Nm — enough for 60+ mph on private property and a claimed 0–30 mph in about four seconds.

72V 95A Sine-Wave Controller

A 95-amp sine-wave controller with dual-hall cadence sensing feeds the motor cleanly, with ECO / SPORT / BOOST modes at six levels each.

72V Dual-Battery Frame

72V Dual-Battery Frame

45Ah · 3,240Wh · Samsung 21700

Two Samsung Packs, 3,240Wh

A hydroformed 6061 frame swallows two Samsung 21700 packs — 25Ah + 20Ah for 72V and 3,240Wh total, one of the biggest reservoirs in the class.

80–120 Miles Of Range

That much energy is good for 80–120 miles depending on how hard you twist it, and each pack charges on its own UL 72V 5A charger.

Built To Carry It

A 400 lb payload, IP65 water resistance and a standard fender kit make the Grizzly a serious all-weather hauler, not just a toy.

5-Inch Bafang 5.8 Color TFT

A big 5-inch color TFT shows speed, power, battery and mode at a glance — brighter and sharper than the LCDs most e-bikes ship with.

Built-In Front Dashcam

A front-view dashcam records to the display, so you've got footage if anything happens on the road.

Bluetooth Speaker + Full Lighting

A paired Bluetooth speaker, high/low headlight with DRL, turn signals, brake light and a 12V horn round out the cockpit.

The Cockpit

A Cockpit With A Dashcam

5″ TFT Color Display + Front Dashcam (private-property bike)

The Grizzly's 5-inch Bafang TFT is the centerpiece — speed, wattage, battery and your ECO/SPORT/BOOST level, all on a screen big enough to actually read at speed. A front dashcam records straight to it.

A left-hand remote runs high/low beam, turn signals, hazards and the 12V horn, and a Bluetooth speaker pairs to your phone. It's a moto cockpit, dressed as an e-bike.

The Grizzly is a big, heavy machine — 180 lbs with a 34.6" standover and a 46.1" wheelbase — so it wants a rider who can plant both feet and manhandle it. It's a PPB (private-property bike): shipped for off-road / private-property use only, not street-legal out of the box.

The Bike Cave Verdict

Ben's Take

Full honesty: I haven't thrown a leg over the Grizzly on camera yet — that review is coming. But on paper this thing is absurd. Ariel Rider took a 72-volt system, wrapped a 3,000W-rated hub in oil-cooling so it can actually hold 8,000 watts of peak power without cooking itself, and hung 250 Nm of torque off it. Then they bolted on 6-piston hydraulic brakes with 220mm rotors — genuine moto stopping power — a 45Ah dual Samsung battery good for 80–120 miles, and a 5-inch TFT with a built-in dashcam. It's a private-property bike, so it ships uncorked for off-road, and it's heavy (180 lbs) and pricey at $3,199. I'm not scoring it until I've ridden it, but the spec sheet has my full attention. Subscribe and I'll bring you the real-world verdict soon.

👍 What stands out

  • Oil-cooled hub holds 8,000W peak / 250 Nm without derating
  • Huge 72V 45Ah dual Samsung battery — 80–120 mi of range
  • 6-piston hydraulic brakes on 220mm rotors — real moto stopping
  • 5" TFT with built-in dashcam + Bluetooth speaker
  • IP65, 400 lb payload — a genuine all-weather machine

👎 What to know

  • Not yet reviewed on camera — verdict and score still to come
  • 180 lbs is a lot of bike to move at a standstill
  • PPB — off-road / private-property use only, not street-legal
  • $3,199 and pre-order — you're paying flagship money
