In 1871 the first Ariel was made, in fact the world’s first ever series production vehicle. An Ordinary or Penny Farthing bicycle. Light weight, technically advanced and brimming with new ideas. Now, over 150 years later, Ariel celebrate these early beginnings with the Dash e-bike. Light weight, technically advanced and reflecting the ethos of that first bike. The result of five years’ development and automotive-level engineering, the Dash is a complete ground up design from the same team responsible for the Atom and Nomad. With a choice of Urban or Adventure models, each carefully designed for purpose, the Dash will take you into town, on a road ride or partner you on off road exploits.
“A TRUE BRITISH SUCCESS STORY KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER AND BETTER”
Autocar
At the heart of each Dash is a unique titanium and carbon fibre frame. Light, strong and incredibly beautiful. Recognisably Ariel and something we’re justifiably proud of. Using aerospace grade 3D printed titanium nodes, welded by hand to Reynolds titanium tube and bonded to F1 level carbon fibre, the Ariel Dash combines cutting edge technology with their famed handcrafting skills. The best of both worlds. With cables, hydraulics and wiring all hidden in the frame, forks and handlebars the Ariel ethos of Less is More is captured invisibly in the Dash. From the torque settings in the nodes to the titanium fixings throughout the Dash, Ariel’s obsessive attention to detail can be seen in every part of the design.

“FAMED FOR THEIR OBSESSIVE ATTENTION TO DETAIL THE ARIEL FRAME IS A WORK OF ART“
Fast Bikes
Whether on a serious ride, a fun ride, a commute or exploring trails off road, select as much or as little power assistance as you want. Or just let the bike do it for you. Four adjustable levels of power, plus an automatic power adjuster on the Adventure, give all the options you need whatever the ride. Hidden in the rear wheel and frame is the Mahle drive and power system. Discreet, light and reliable. The Dash doesn’t shout e-bike, just clean, sophisticated, understated quality. Bluetooth the Dash to your phone and not only can you have speed, distance, power and range information but maps, navigation, analysis and performance logs. Then connect to Strava and become part of a worldwide cycling community. To work or to play the Dash delivers.
Like every Ariel we produce each Dash is tailor made and individually built by one technician from start to finish. They will only put their name on it when they’re happy it’s ready. It’s what makes us Ariel and allows you to specify YOUR bike, not just another off a production line. Different frame geometry and four frame sizes for each Dash, plus options of alternative wheels, brakes, handlebars, saddles plus mudguards, carriers, luggage and more. Riding to work, cycling with friends, getting fit or exploring off road, we will make your Dash exactly the way you want it, just for you.
