Ariel Rider Grizzly: Everything You Need to Know

The Grizzly URL now opens a 72V private-property bike at $3,199: 8,000W peak, 180 lb, 60+ mph. The 52V dual-motor cart is a 404. A comparison page still prints 1,000W.

The short answer

The live Ariel Rider Grizzly is the 72V PPB. The old address 301s there. Price $3199, pre-order. Peak 8000 watts, rated 3000, dual pack labeled 72 volts, 45 amp-hours, and 3240 watt-hours. The multiplication matches. Mass 180 pounds. Off-road speed 60 mph and up. The 52V dual-motor handle is a 404. A comparison page still says 1000 watts.

The Ariel Rider Grizzly, on the live US shop, is the Grizzly 72V PPB. The address /products/grizzly returns a 301 to that model. The product file is $3,199, marked pre-order, with an 8,000-watt peak, a 3,000-watt rated figure, a dual pack labeled 72 volts, 45 amp-hours, and 3,240 watt-hours, 180 pounds, and a private-property speed of 60 mph and up. Seventy-two times 45 is 3,240, so the label matches the multiplication. The 52V dual-motor handle is a 404. A May 23, 2026 comparison on the same site still describes that older bike as 1,000 watts. Do not average 1,000 and 8,000. The row on this desk’s list links here.

Price$3,199, pre-order, schema availability PreOrder. Homepage tile: starting at $3,199.Indexed product copy: $3,099 from $3,499. A 2023 spec card: $3,499. The list’s “about $3,500” matches that older regular tag, not the live pre-order.
Motor8,000W peak, 3,000W rated, oil-cooled, one rear hub. Controller: 72V 95A sine-wave. Torque line: 250 Nm.

A 2023 card: dual 1,000W and a peak of 1,850W. Three sentences. Not one wattage.
PackDual Samsung 21700, 72V, 45Ah, labeled 3,240Wh. Two 72V 5A chargers on the manual. The multiplication agrees.Indexed copy: 1,820Wh from a 52V 20Ah pack plus a 52V 15Ah pack. Fifty-two times 35 is 1,820. Comparison page: “~1,440 Wh.” That is not 1,820.
Speed60+ mph, off-road, and “60 mph on throttle only” in the product copy. Zero to 30 mph in 4 seconds. Modes: ECO, SPORT, BOOST, six levels each. The page says the model is not street legal.Comparison: about 35 mph. Indexed copy: “28 MPH +.” The 2023 card: 36 mph. A 7-speed drivetrain is on that 2023 card. The 72V table is single-speed.

The product description calls the 72V machine the successor to the 52V dual-motor Grizzly. Parts for that older pack are still in the catalog: generation-2 and generation-3 batteries, with chargers that are not interchangeable by the listing titles. A successor sentence is not a shared motor. Pedals are on the 72V drivetrain line (a 46-tooth crank and a KMC chain). Eight kilowatts is not under 750. The class chart does not grow a fourth class for a private-property throttle.

One thousand watts split across two hubs is the comparison page. Eight thousand watts in one rear hub is the cart the Grizzly address opens now.

Who it is for

Buy the 72V if the cart says PPB, you have a place that is not a street, and you want the 3,240 watt-hour label that actually multiplies. The watt-hour page is why 3,240 is the check and why “about 1,440” on the comparison is a different tank from 1,820. At 180 pounds this is not the 104-pound bike in the 2023 card.

Skip it if you wanted the dual-hub 52V that shops still discuss, or a bicycle. That complete bike is not in the 88-product catalog this desk pulled. Paying $3,199 does not buy the 1,000-watt sentence, and finding a used 52V does not buy 60 mph or 180 pounds of the new card.

Questions people ask

What happened to the dual-motor 52V cart?+

The handle returns 404, and the public address redirects. Search still served an older product copy at $3099 from $3499, with 1820 watt-hours from a 20Ah pack plus a 15Ah pack. Fifty-two times 35 is 1820. The May 23, 2026 comparison instead prints about 1440 watt-hours and “1000W of power” split across two hubs. A 2023 card says dual 1000-watt motors and a 1850-watt peak. Three watt stories.

Does 3240 watt-hours match the cells?+

Yes. Seventy-two times 45 is 3240, and both the product block and manual V4.34 print that label. The manual’s distance claim is 80 to 120 miles, not a promise. The comparison’s new column says 100 miles. Do not blend those distances. Two 5-amp chargers are listed. Older-generation packs remain parts, and the charger titles do not match each other.

Is 180 pounds the same machine as 104?+

No. One hundred eighty is the 72V block and the manual. One hundred four, with a 300-pound limit, is the 2023 card. Payload on the new manual is 400 pounds including one approved adult passenger, and that sentence does not approve an unlisted peg kit. Tires in the manual are 20 by 4.5. A homepage tile prints 20 by 4.

Can this be ridden as a street bicycle?+

The product page says it is not street legal. Cadence sensing and a crank do not pull 8000 watts under 750. The older indexed copy’s “28 MPH +” line is a different machine, and that machine is no longer a cart. Pay $3199 only if the title says PPB.
