I’ve personally hit speeds of around 36-37 mph on other bikes from this manufacturer, and so the Kepler might even see similar performance. It’s also generally known that most Ariel Rider electric bikes exceed their published speeds, as the manufacturer often underreports the true figures. While the bike ships with street legal speed limits programmed in, it can be unlocked up to a maximum speed of 32 mph (51.5 km/h). That’s around two and a half horsepower… in a bicycle! This full-size fat tire e-bike features a 1,000W nominal rear hub motor that is rated for a peak of 1,800W of power. With the exception of the brand’s low-cost $899 Rideal city e-bike (which the team there assures me will finally be back in stock in a couple of weeks), Ariel Rider focuses almost exclusively on high-performance e-bikes.Īnd the Ariel Rider Kepler absolutely fits that bill. If it wasn’t ridiculously fast and overpowered, it just wouldn’t be an Ariel Rider e-bike.

If you know anything about the e-bike company Ariel Rider, you’ll know that the new Kepler is true to the company’s ethos. Designed for adventure and recreational riding, this fat tire bike pushes speed and power specs to the max. The brand-new Ariel Rider Kepler has just been unveiled as the e-bike manufacturer’s latest high-performance electric bike.
