Forgot to mention that's what I did with my light, mounted it to the top part of the fork and aimed it down. I think it looks aesthetically better that way and less chance its shining up and into the eyes of oncoming drivers. Didn't even occur to me that I wouldn't have been able to install the front rack had it been in the stock position, so good call out!
Agree with the need to add a better light for night riding, the stock headlight is weak. I bought this for now and just mounted one of my many flashlights to the underside of the rack pointed out.

At some point I''ll spend the money on an Olight or MagicShine light.

There’s also a cheaper version without rebound damping made by the same dnm company. You need tge 165x35mm one and you’ll have to cut the spacers down to your needs. It’s just plastic very easy to cut.
This is the one I have it’s also the exact same on Ariel’s website just without the logo.
Yea I agree, why not ship item right away, isn't the whole point of being IN STOCK.
Seat for my kids, gonna test it out, I get it tomorrow. I found it from the facebook group for grizzly bike.
Nothing specific, just things like your link and like this:
I also specifically wanted the cargo plus extension where the saddle goes on top and never found a suitable comparison on that, just saddles
Me along with some other folks use this. I use Velcro straps to attach it. No complaints from my girlfriend.
Surprisingly standard (on V1 anyway). I went with this below, but there are lots of options. Fork steerer Tube diameter: 28.6mm (1-1/8"), Handlebar Diameter: 31.8mm (1-1/4")
By the way, I think v2 on have a hidden tightener bolt under the stem?
This one's in my "save for later" basket, was recommended by Fortnine in one of their videos a while back. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B014UTQQCM
I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for or not, but it's a safe full-face helmet with a few extra bells and whistles.
58.8V 4A Fast Battery Charger for... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B091934HTG?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have been using this charger as my home charger since January. My OEM charger is at work. I have put 1300 miles on my bike in that time frame (18mi at a time) without a single issue.
I convinced a coworker to get an X-52 and he also has this charger. Again, zero issues and both batteries are still running very strong. Hope it works well for you!

On my D-Class I installed this LED strip on the frame below my seat: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W8L4VGR?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Required a 12v step-down converter, a control switch and a flasher relay, but the results are phenomenally bright. (Plus I installed some HELLA motorcycle horns that are nice and loud too!) Here are some pics I posted a couple weeks back: https://old.reddit.com/r/ebikes/comments/wqpgj6/dclass_with_some_modifications/
I bought this rack https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B3XHF22T?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details for its wide wheel track and sturdiness and the hitch bolt actually screws into the receiver. I cinch down tight on the front wheel arm the tire strap and an additional ratchet strap. speed bumps i take it easy as there is some slight up and down motion.
>p20.11
I have not, sorry. The A10.11's I replaced around 200 miles. I could not take the noise and fade.
The Corkis have been great for down hill and Kepler speeds of 30mph+ during commuting. Their handling of heat dissipation seems to be worlds better. An inexpensive upgrade that can be done in a few minutes (well, when you will have the wheels off for something else anyway - I did mine when I went to slicks).
I couldn't find one that I liked so I bought two fold out saw horses from amazon (link below) and a couple of two by fours that I put through the middle of the frame of my X52. I just cover the two by fours with rags so it doesn't have a chance to scratch the paint of the frame. It works great for me allowing the bike to be lifted enough to work on it which I have done many times. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07K6FYM98/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I went with this one from Amazon:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FF6KSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It was pretty straight forward to install and adjust. I keep it a bit spongy so the ride is a little smoother, I'm 155lbs-ish FWIW.
The only issue I had was having to reuse one of the existing bushings, beyond that it was affordable and easy to install. I've been happy with it.
I bought this same seat set from Amazon and have had it on my wife's Lectric XP 2.0, we both have the same bike until I received my Kepler last week. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0855SV2YW
I just order another one of the same seat/kits to put on my Kepler. When I installed it on the Lectric XP, the handlebar bracket to mount to the seat post wasn't wide enough to fit, a quick run to Home Depot and I was able to find compatible longer bolts to make it work.
Given how well it worked on the Lectric, I hope I'll have similar success in my Kepler.
actually i didn't, the hole was so small i decided to use this to "fix" the flat tire by deflating it then putting this stuff in then and it's been several months without any issue!
Something like this will let you interrupt power to the head, if you can pardon their horrific lack of documentation. This one doesn't require you to replace your throttle if you like the stock one (it looks like it just has battery+, switched power out, and GND).
Considering getting something like this for my X-Class 52V, but I'd rather not tear my wiring harness apart, so looking for other options as well... As others have mentioned, there might be something to hacking into a head unit extension cable for this purpose.
You could. I'd almost recommend looking to find an extension for the cable on your bike and splice into that, then externally it would look the same but you could remove it fairly easily if needed (for whatever reason).
Something like this looks right for my bike (Aventon Aventure).
I just put these on my AR Kepler. HUGE difference over the A10.11 OEM pads, and cheap. I only ran 0.2mm off the OEM pads before they had to go. Especially with Duro Fleetwood slicks on the Kepler's 26" wheels. No more turkey gobbling or brake fade on long downhills.
I will most likely go with Shimano or TRP 2 piece 180mm rotors when these wear down, but I have read that it's the calipers that make the biggest difference.

Here is the link to what I bought. I just cut them down to size when I installed them. I have Vee Speedster 20x4.0 Tires installed. It rides very quiet.
I have the 4 bike version of this which also comes in a 2 bike option and is meant for fat tire bikes. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B085ZPCZGF
I use it weekly with two Lectric XP 2.0 bikes and my sons smaller Jetson ebike. All 3 hold without issue for local and around time usage. I've not yet taken it on a long trip or on the highway but as long as you ensure you secure everything, it should have no issues from my own personal experiences with it.
For rear view I bought this
If you want end mirrors there's a bunch on amazonFor headlight, I'm in the process of putting a led motorcycle headlight on mine and figuring out wiring.
For turn signals I'm still looking at aftermarket motorcycle leds because it seems like all the bicycle solutions aren't very bright or try to be all in one solutions with a brake light.
I'll also be adding a separate brake light one day
These should work and I have them installed on both of m keplers

Thanks!
As far as "older Grizzly" I don't know...i bought it back in May 22. I did my research and found out that this was everything i was looking for based on price and what you get. For being 6' I read people that tall usually upgrade the seat to a full length so you can sit further back. My only concern with my handlebar when upgrading was if it was going to be uncomfortable for my back but I can tell you I've done 35 mile rides on a Saturday then followed up with a 20 mile ride on a Sunday with no issues as far as comfort the following day. I will to be upgrading my seat soon for comfort reasons.

I went with 11-28 freewheel for my x class. If the rideal has rhe same 14-34 freewheel 7spd the x class has it'll work. I can stand up pedal at full speed.
I think with these big ebikes, we have to start thinking of these things more like motorcycles and buy motorcycle accessories. I'm not sure which one I'll get yet but I'll be getting a motorcycle rack.
Maybe this?:

These are what I just put in my Grizzly:
I cut the strap that holds them on and zip tied them to back of the bike. A long seat would hold them in place.
Holds up to 80 lbs per bike

I use these on the new bars but they should fit the stock ones fine too:

Hope this help you bro!!!
Just get a spray bottle and fill it up with soapy water, spray the tire bead and rim all around. Make sure the tube is deflated as much as you can, I usually just take out the valve core. This will make removal and installation much much easier.
I replaced my stock tires with these Shinko motorcycle tires due to excessive goat heads and thorns in Arizona. I also put in a half bottle of slime in each tube just as insurance. I was able to mount these tires with a little muscle, a bunch of soapy water, and the basic plastic bike tire wedges\levers.
There are a ton of options. I personally prefer the bar end style and use these:
https://www.amazon.com/BriskMore-Rearview-Adjustable-Handlebar-Bicycles/dp/B092QKJNPM/
They're 3" which is larger than most, better in my opinion, and they come in a pack of two.
I tried another set from Amazon but they were not glass and the image was horribly distorted. These are much better.

Fenix Gull Wing BMX handlebars. Work great for me!
I used this one, but swapped out the stock headlight's guts/wiring so it was plug and play. The stock headlight is much brighter when used with a better reflector. It's a bit big and the mounts need a little hacking if you want them to sit just right but it works. :D
I've also been looking at using a USB powered sunset lamp in white as the light source in one of the stock headlamp assemblies.
THis is the one:

​
I reused the internal wiring and mount, and just used the new light frame, reflector and "glass" from this one with the existing wire/mount/bulb.
Hey! Thanks man! It’s pretty much just a handle bar extender so you can mount more things on it (I.e. camera, gps, kitchen sink, you name it lol). I originally bought it for the Grizzly (hence the red) but since I canceled it. I was stuck with it. I plan on spray painting black one day. But here’s the link 👇🏾
NIGHTFIRE Bike Handlebar Extender... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08KQ6FPXY?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
Here is where I got it from:
BASEEING Bike Spoke Wrench Tool 8 Way Hard Steel Bicycle Rim Truing Tool for Adjust Bicycle Wheel Tension 6 Sizes in 1 Cycling Pocket Spoke Tools for Bike Repair Adjustment Wrench Correct Kit set of 2 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XXSGY85/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_NR8XRSFYSNWYF3CEVY11?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
buy a secondary 52v battery https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Waterproof-Triangle-Electric-Warehouse/dp/B07R46D84D/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=52v+battery+unit+pack&qid=1632089221&sr=8-9 , some xt60 connectors and 12guage silicone copper wire. (140w+ soldering iron and solder too, heatshrink if you like but not necessary). strap on a secondary battery pack and double the range! just hot swap the battery and be on your way.
as for rear suspension, it is not possible unless you modify the frame with a swing arm. not practical. perhaps a motorcycle seat cushion for more comfort?
I used this one on mine:
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FF6KSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I am around 155lbs and it softens up the ride quite a bit. I got the 165/35 version, had to use one of the stock inserts but it works great.
It has some nice give but can be a little bouncy until you adjust it for yourself.
I would protect my face going those speeds. I bought this one: Bell Qualifier DLX Full-Face Helmet (Blackout Matte Black - X-Large) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06WP39V24/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_J9W9SNJXWKYYX6NZVEH0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B018FF6KSC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's this one, 165mm/35mm. It's much softer, you can see/feel the bike move when you sit down on this one.
Ah ok, I was looking at it, but I was wondering if I could get it cheaper on The Zon. But it looks like Ariel has it for a bit cheaper. I think I’m going to get couple air tags to throw on there as well (even though it would alert a thief their being tracked) however, I have an old Apple Watch that’s on my phone plan that I could just hide in there, which wouldn’t serve the same purpose as a tracker and but wouldn’t alert them. My plan was to find a good usb battery charger and tape it to the charger so it wouldn’t die and keep it hidden some where on there.

I’ve been looking for MOLLE panels for this bike. Saw a third-party panel for a S73, but wasn’t sure it’d work with a different bike. That ABS looks okay, but I’d be concerned with fragility. I’m thinking of how a nylon strap web/net might work. I’ll post something if I ever come up with a solution.
Picked this mount up recently, though haven’t been able to test it out. Sounds like it’ll be even longer with the X Class shipment delay.
