Ariel Rider Grizzly

What the Ariel Rider Grizzly is built for

The Ariel Rider Grizzly is a commuter e-bike, built for daily rides to work, errands and city streets.

It has a 3 kW motor and a top speed of 30 mph (48 km/h).

It carries a stated range of up to 120 miles (193 km) on a charge. Real-world range is usually lower than the rated figure: it falls with throttle use, hills, cold weather, rider weight and higher assist levels.

The Ariel Rider Grizzly carries up to 181 lb (82 kg) including the rider and is rated IP65 against water.

In the United States the Ariel Rider Grizzly sells for $2,999, above the median of $1,499 across 230 commuter e-bikes with a US price, among the premium models.

Where the Ariel Rider Grizzly may be ridden

In the European Union and the United Kingdom an e-bike counts as a bicycle only within the pedelec limits; as specified, its 3 kW motor is above the 250 W limit, its 30 mph (48 km/h) top speed is above the 25 km/h at which assistance must stop and its throttle moves it without pedalling, which the pedelec rules allow only as start-up help at walking pace. A model above those limits is treated as a moped there, with type approval, registration and insurance, unless the brand sells a version set to the European limits.

Ariel Rider Grizzly safety certification

The brand's listing for the Ariel Rider Grizzly does not state a UL 2849 or EN 15194 certification. New York City allows only e-bikes certified to UL 2849 to be sold or rented there, and California requires certified batteries from 2026; ask the seller for the certificate before buying.
