The Wildeway FW11 3.0 is a folding ebike with an exceptionally large battery for the price. If you don't have a large budget for an ebike but you want big range this bike could be a good option for you.
Despite the large size of the battery and resulting heavy weight, the battery is placed low and in the center of the bike which in combination with it's short and relatively "skinny" tires helps keep the perceived riding weight of this bike as low as it can.
Since you can remove the battery, it makes it easier to lift this bike as it is much lighter without the battery attached to it.
If you've decided this is the ebike for you, I'd recommend buying from the link at the top of this text if you want to grab this one for the lowest price and also help support my channel, but you can also find the ebike on amazon amzn.to/3RakF52 here.
Thanks for watching, next video is going to be on a 37 mph ebike coming in a few days.

So, you've reviewed the FW11S and the FW11. Is there much difference? Which did you like the best?
Thanks for a great and informative video.
I bought this same e-bike three months ago. I do a lot of riding(training) and made several adjustments to make it more efficient and comfortable. Changes included 20x1.75 Marathon Plus tires, 60T chainring, suspension seat post, aero handlebars, rear freewheel gearing of 11x32. I live in the country and all of my riding(90%) is such w/ little city riding. I also have a satiaor charger which verifies my state of charge/ discharge in watts, volts etc. Three weeks ago, I set out to do a range test which took a total of three days. My distance was 108 miles the first day, 92 miles on day two, and 5 miles day three when. On day three it went from 2 battery bars to 1 bar and shut off at 5 miles.
A grand total of 205 miles on one full charge. Also, had 6700’ of climbing thrown in. Average speed 16+ verified by my Garmin.
I live in Western Oregon in the Willamette Valley surrounded by foothills and mountains fwiw.
I pedal a lot.
I have the same bike no changes except kenda flames tires and re welded my seat post it broke I have 2,200 miles and crashed 3 times and nothing wrong with it at all trave 34 miles a day to work and 2 Saturdays a month this bike is loyal bro this bike never let me down and I ride it in the rain and snow I always look for ipx rating and battery size and there ain't that many bike this size battery at the time I got it and I had mines for 6 month and already got 2,200 it's pretty dam good
Training to ride an acoustic bike? way to go! must've had some bad physical accident to indice your physical training.
You really should show all folding bikes, folded and show how easily they fold. For me it is very important feature.
I bought this and I love it! You can get it up to 30 MPH when you're in the 4/5 battery range and it didn't hit low battery until I had driven 80 miles on mostly pedal assist.
Have you checked how much mileage you would get with throttle only at high/medium speed
Ok Matt I bought one. No more bus for me.
Okay 2 months later, how's the power and reliability so far?
@@UnburdenMyWordSalad No complaints.
@@fatcok68still how is it holding up
@@Ciscostew Its good just did 60 miles this weekend. Some fairly big hills. Thats farther then ill ever really go again. batery was super low ,but I made it.
@@fatcok68 have you had to change the tires ?
11:47 Another nice beach view. Always appreciated.
And it's illegal to take that bike on a CA beach...not to mention a sidewalk. Almost everything TH shows you is illegal and contributing to the eventual avalanches of draconian laws we're gonna see come down over ebikes in the next year or two.
@@johnrob3215 I was not referring to the same beach you are talking about.
@@FoundingTH-camr-2005 what beach is that?
Beautiful these guys are bots I think. Yelling at clouds. Very perky tho hungry for those shorts too nom nom
It would be nice to see a good full review dealing with the control settings, specifically how to gain more pedal resistance during normal riding.
Folding ebikes are also great if you have to deal with small elevators OR in the event you have to carry them up stairs, you can "bend" it around yourself so you're not using your back to lift it. The elevator at my apartment is very tiny... even a 20 inch tire bike wont fit diagonally and while you could prop it onto the rear wheel... you'd spill cargo out lol.
I like this, I just put an order in for an EUY F6, I think the F6 still might be better bang for the buck but I think this one is very close for a best in class affordable foldable ebike.
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
@@MRG_1 r u a bot
Lol you’re killing me! That Korean airlines aircraft would certainly be going to South Korea! Nobody can get into North Korea lol! Also, pro tip is to use the battery sparingly if people want long range and even go to zero assist on downhill slopes. Makes range tremendously longer. I often ride in pedal assist one and two if I need longer range and then go into pedal assist zero on downhill and downhill slopes. That increases range by more than 40%, depending on your terrain.
@JulyOverland exactly. But he didn’t
Great video. Great senior bike. Long range, foldable, rack and cheap. Why are you losing weight? I’m used to your 200lb spiel that sounds strange now at 192.
Good and straight to the point review. Thanks!
Seems like the kind of bike that would be hard to ride slowly given pas 1 takes you to 16mph. I typically like to see a pas 1 6mph pas2 10mph pas 3 15mph pas 4 20mph pas 5 28mph. I find that to be the ideal spread. Also how is the support from the company?
Your videos inspired me to buy my first bike (non-electric) so I can finally learn how and replace some car miles! Once I feel comfortable I will move to an E Bike and definitely use your code. Really appreciate these reviews.
Have fun! Never too late to learn and the feeling of riding a bike is undescribable. You gotta experience it.
@@user72974 Ive become spoilt now, i use to ride to work on a cheap basic mtb and I use to think PAS 1 was fast for only a 250w E-bike, now its upgraded to 500w and hits assists of upto 25mph and i barely bat an eye to it
Honestly, if you happen to be an older person, I think it's easier to start with an e-bike. If you find yourself downshifting gears all the time to start off pedaling from a stop, remember that e-bikes have a throttle (well, most of them). Even if you are worried about powered bike riding, you can at least use the throttle to get started and then just pedal. I'd pick a bike that gives you throttle power in pedal assist 0 though.
Thank you so much for the review video!!❤
I have the victrip Titan which is pretty much the same bike I ride to work one way is 22 miles and the battery depending on if its cold or if im going 21-30 mph i will have 5 bars still, or drops 1 bar usually a couple blocks from work.
Love this nee route, hope to see more bikes tested on it.
kinda hoped you'd reach to the end of the bike trail towards palos verdes since it should have enough battery capacity, but i guess you can calculate range estimates with the final numbers..
I have a 60ah battery bike and I can do around 170-180km max throttle, so its pretty much half of that which is close to his estimate
Any e-bike reviewer who dutifully regurgitates the manufacturer talking points about range and represents peak watts as nominal cannot be trusted.
I love how they put such a large battery pack in, but couldn't even bother putting in some decent hydrauic brakes for a 75lbs ebike.
Hydraulic calipers aren't even expensive anymore either. Zero excuses for these companies to cheap out on one of the most important components. My ebike is lighter than that and I'm running 203mm 4 piston brakes.
I bought one of these and find the mechanical brakes work great.
@@synchemist6462 yeah until they dont. you get what you pay for, most batteries cost almost as much as this bike
@@mikec4308 Replacement brakes are cheap, a set of hydraulic calipers is less than $50 and can be installed in about 5 minutes. It's not much more than new pads. I did it on my Lectric XP2. The mechanical brakes on the WW are clearly better than the stock XP2.
The fact that most batteries cost almost as much as this bike is a huge plus. This e-bike is a fantastic deal.
@@mikec4308hydraulic are more likely to fail!
Is this the best one for a long range, no frills, foldable, in your humble opinion? Cheers from Miami
Noo there’s two other e-bikes for long range .. also look at my latest video about this e-bike. 😳😡😳😡😳😡😳
@@MRG_1 I went to your channel and couldn't find anything since you barely talk in the videos lol.
Are you going to review the 4.0? its appears appealing 🤔✅ slightly modded
Nice little bike that.
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
@@MRG_1 explain. Lol 🤔🌎☀️
How many miles can you get on pas 5? Looks like a beautiful bike
I have been looking into foldable ebikes lately since i have a little car range and speed are my needs as expected 😁 also price....so far this might be the one 👍🏻
ive had mine since February, its been a great bike! im 6'1 260. id reccomend adjusting th power level setting so that the different assists can run low speed and not just 15+. super easy to do!
@SuperWaterskiboy thanks for the heads up I know there are hundreds of these types of ebikes and trying to find the right one is hard but I knew when he made it up the garage incline it was the one lol what kind of range are you getting ? Because I'm also over 200 pounds so I'm sure his range is going to very from ours
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
@MRG_1 I had that happen once, reseated the battery and power cycled and havent seen it happen since
@@SuperWaterskiboy that’s very dangerous especially I’m in New York City. Traffic is crazy for your bike to turn off mid ride.
I almost wish you’d say no more mechanical disc brakes. I feel that cheaping out on such an important safety feature is a non starter for most people.
You can get the hydraulics put on it though.
I am completely satisfied with the stopping power of the mechanical brakes on this bike.
maintenance on hydraulic ones is also a pain
Mechanical are more reliable
At 10:46 welcome to my neighborhood, Nob Hill, San Francisco. Although I am used to your Venice Beach, Santa Monica course, I like that small hill. That's a great street to test a bike's torgue. Too bad it is not as kewl as the California Incline.
Trivia: Most cyclists on regular bikes (non-electric) stay away from our San Francisco hills. 100 percent of the time those unaware of what it takes to manually pedal up a San Francisco hill end up walking their bikes, like the defeated chap at 11:00.
I don't see how you could live in San Francisco and not ride an ebike.
Have you been able to review the Juiced JetCurrent PRO yet? We value your reviews, Thanks
I don't wanna do the math, that's why I just watch your videos, lol.
You should try out a Temu e-bike
I never understand with this e bikes. do i have to pedal? or they can do that range alone?
if you pedal with an e-bike it will have longer range. the bike still does most of the work though
Is this e-bike seat comfortable?
Are you ever going to fix that flooring in your living room?
the little bike that could
Pricing considered. That's a bargain.
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
The bike is fine.
You just have to make sure that your electrical connections are secure. ☀️🌎😊
How much does the 32ah battery itself weigh?
What camera setup do people use when filming your bike rides what kind of camera setup is the throat camera or head camera I want a camera kit or something to use when riding
Anyone know if your able to have the display show voltage?
the front wheel holder seems sketchy to me, what do you think ?
I bought the lectric 2.0 ,paid 1200.00 for it, I weigh 200lbs . This one has the same things mine has, pulls hills better, goes faster, has a way bigger battery, only costs 400.00 less. If it's your first e- bike? I like mine OK, just saying!
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
I like when you adjust the speed. Is that a option on this bike. Thanks for the video
For future videos, please mention the maximum rider weight each e-bike can handle for each passenger. It would be nice to see e-bike reviews that are for overweight riders as well. So many of the reviews for e-bikes have average sized people riding them.
google exists and 200 pounds is above average in every country on the planet except america lol
@@mikec4308 search engines do exist. Does that mean review videos should not be made at all? Obesity is not unique to any one country. My country takes in all the fat fucks from the rest of the world.
@@SlowPCGaming1 You have it backwards. Your country sends all obese people to the rest of the world.
@@mikec4308 Search engines do exist. But does that mean that online reviews should not be made? Without information to feed those search engines what use are they? Obesity is not unique to any single country. My country is the melting pot of all cultures and traditions from around the globe.
I love Lake Tahoe from the last video
Like the new route
I. have found, the best way to escape reality, is to confront it, directly.
Is the battery UL rated?
Surprised it wasn't the 4.0, did someone at Wildeway mess up and you just said "Screw it, need to make a video, let's take a different route."?🤔
he made the 4.0 video months ago....
@@SuperWaterskiboy You mean the step-thru 3.0?
@@eightwingeila7905 crazy, coulda sworn it was the 4.0 but you're right, that was the step through 3.0.
I thought the same thing lol
Also does the back rack come with it?
basket is separated
Please try MotoVolt or Emotorad cycle
You will love it
Motovolt 249$-449&
Emotorad 249$-699&
By any chance do you sell your used review bikes I’m interested
Don’t buy this one Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
@@MRG_1 you left that same comment three times with the same spelling mistake. must be a bot
Is it worth getting the 4.0 over the 3.0?
Not really honestly.
^^
Unless you have a lot of snow, and usually because the price difference is between a few hundred dollars, it's worth it to get the smaller tires sometimes. ^^
he is actually missing an important part of ebike efficiency. there is also cell voltage sag at high power that also kills range. so its not like 30 mph for 1 hour = 10 mph for 3 hours. it wont work out like that. when u go max power, you kill the battery due to voltage sag so you get way less than an hour. especially with these ebikes with unbranded chinese batteries, you have no clue what the voltage sag and cell durability is going to be. i would not go crazy all the time on them. you will cook the battery. as oppose to korean and japanese batteries, they show you the voltage sag graph and capacity at different amps. tbh its disappointing he doesnt know this, he is an ebike reviewer. im not making this up i use to make ebike batteries and explicittly look at the battery specifications and amp-capacity graphs.
True stuff man 🎵✨❤️🤙🌌☀️✌️😊🌎
Foldabe, 32amp haur battery, 28mph top speed, all for 800(780 with discount code) too good to be true? Dayum
It’s only $600 on Amazon.
link?
yeah but with $200 shipping...
okay so don’t go fast if I want range unless I have an extra battery pack😅
Hey can any body tell me how this ebike rides on grass lawns for about 6 miles of grass lawn road riding? Any body know?
Realize it that I have to rotate almost 2 circles to start pas
from what i see in some videos... that sir, was a criminal amount of speed, 28 mph in a 10 mph zone is nearly triple
😂
Speeding isn't "criminal"!😅
Say it don't spray it bro 🗣️ Yo you are getting a little to loud and excited at times , love the enthusiasm but at The end of the day it's just a FN E-bike my Dude ‼️ 💯 😆
Need one of these for getting to and from work. It's 1.5 miles there's and 1.5 miles back.....save on gas like a mofo.
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride.
Saving gas on 3miles???😅
It is a STEAL! I’m thinking of buying this
do it...just got mine delivered today...this thing is pretty nimble...
13.3 miles for half battery? That’s long range? So basically 4 hours for this battery to be dead. That’s by no means long range.
Me and my dog weigh about 150lbs. I went 50 miles on full throttle (90% of time). The only problem for me is that the bike was still going 16-17mph and then it just died and wouldn't start back up after resting it. I had to pedal about 2.5 miles home.
I believe the 13.3 was the average speed. 22. Something was the mileage.
What are u talking about
It sucks that all the bike worth their salt are too expensive to get for the average joe
1200 now
Lol actually the first comment. Look at me!!!!
Love the content my dude. I just recently bought a lectric xpedition because of your review.
It's 649 now
video 24 of asking for your himway e bike
That display is an instant deal breaker.
Why?
@@trex1448 I had an Eahora Juliet with that display and it has awful visibility in the sun. The odometer and other stats are shown in tiny blue text on a black background which is double awful for legibility, and it doesn't show battery voltage so you don't accurately know how much juice you have left. Most color displays are awful but this model in particular is one of the worst.
@DesuVR the display is actually pretty bright compared to others I've seen
I like that this display doesn't reset the trip meter automatically when the bike shuts off. The lack of a volt meter and poor visibility are definitely a liability, however.
dang nabbit i just bought the lectric 3.0 long range.........
👍👍👍👍👍
North Korea LOL!
so why are you doing another review when you already did the step thru version not too long ago?
It’s a different model ones.
@ElectricScooterMan it's the step over version of the one he reviewed 4 months ago with the exact same specs...the only difference is its $100 cheaper than last time
@@burnthedead13why not review it? For some people that extra 100 dollars is a deal breaker. I think he just wants more people to experience electric biking
Throttling the bike over 20mph means you can’t take it on any public road in the US.
Any e-bike reviewer who dutifully regurgitates the manufacturer talking points about range and represents peak watts as nominal cannot be trusted.
Your other channel has better stuff on it.
Mashallah ❤❤❤ first
27 mph in a posted 10 mph path, that is why ebikes get banned,
That Ebike isn’t waterproof. So he better watch out lol
Water resistant if it’s not water proof
Nahh I had to sell my wildeway because it kept trying off on me mid ride. 😫😫😫😫😡😡😡😡😡😡
So, did you speak to support at all?and what did they say? Because i see you spamming on all videos regarding this ebike, to me, you seem like a troll and hater. So please explain what happened and what they say, so potential buyers have an idea.
@@alexisjavier84 do your research 🤡🤡🤡🤡

What he means is that the battery lost electrical connection and his bike shut off.
