This is an Ecells Five Star Ebike range test with liberal throttle use and running high speeds and high power most of the trip. This is currently my favorite 40 mph electric bike and we are entertained by the streets of Los Angeles and challenged by the long steep hills of the Santa Monica mountains where we visit Griffith park observatory, the Hollywood sign, skid row, downtown Los Angeles, south central LA, and more.
Enjoy the video and buy this bike if you have not already got your own!
✅ My #1 Favorite Ebikes w/ pedals:
This is like the "Trophy Truck" of ebikes, like a pick-up truck with a nitrous switch, huge and has ridiculous power, big 26" off road tires, and big plush suspension... you'll get more smiles per gallon instead of miles per gallon, don't watch this if you aren't prepared to drop $2k today:

This video has it all. Dual Star reference, dual suspension, dual batteries, dual crown forks, dual thongs...
Lol
It needs the 2024 Wired freedom.
2:38 dual thongs like these? 😅
@@michaelcarson8375 Wired Ebikes are scammers
Dual thongs! LOL!!! Those girls had to ask "is that a bike?"
It’s usually just the location that reminds you of GTA V during these videos, but this time you had the naked NPC’s yelling “slow down!” when you pass by 😂😂😂
The only real difference is that the streets are nicer with less potholes in GTA.
FYI, I found out from David Cleavland himself Hentach recommends not exceeding 230 degrees Fahrenheit motor temperature. To turn on motor temp, on the display set C8 to 1.
What a crazy ass place to live…
In a lot of this video he was downtown Los Angeles, so yeah, seedy and hectic like other big cities. I live in a suburb of L.A. (a humongous 502 square mile city) and it's nothing like that at all...very middle class neighborhood close to the Angeles National Forest. I just bought two Five Stars with one having been delivered yesterday. A very impressive machine that makes mince meat of the hills around here, of which there are many.
Yeah I saw how you double back there😂
buddy thought he was slick plugging his channel going past them too😂
@@kolt7385 atta boy! "i'm a youtuber that likes juicy booty" tailhappy is my code lmao

Admit you rigged those pannier bags to fall off there.
haha that;s funny
I’m glad he did. 😂
BIG FACTS! 😅
It is tied to a quick release when the ladies are around 😏
And then she wanted a "tip" for telling him to slow down. She must have thought she was still at work.
Speaking of 'dicey" neighborhoods, I just attach a Bear Spray holder to my ebike.
😂
40mph , 🤔 that's not fast enough to outrun a bullet.
I love watching these videos just to see the documentary on LA life on the street. Amazing!
i enjoyed the tour of Gotham city stay safe out there bro
DAYUM! $3 for a bottle of water! Glad I don't live in LA!
That's actually cheap.
Place I worked for last summer was charging over $5 for a 16.9oz bottle.
tree fiffy
I am in Spain it's 1 euro for 2 litres of water. Roughly a dollar and 10 cents.
@@doctadrey3000What the heck?? I need to filter a bunch of tap water myself and sell it for a living!!
Thx for the test ride!! I ordered the dual star package last week. I live in Ventura so I will have mountainous rides as well. Nice to see the true performance of the bike under the heavy distress.
This like gta5 chaos evewhere cops fire trucks half naked ladies
Classic LA
don't forget the full naked man
and fully naked dude :D
Liberals ruin every city they control
Juicy bootys 😆
From the way you drive, I would say the name of this video should be "Everyone I passed survived my 45 miles on my Ebike"
FYI, I found out from David Cleavland himself Hentach recommends not exceeding 230 degrees Fahrenheit motor temperature. To turn on motor temp, on the display set C8 to 1.
This video makes me want an Ecells Five Star and to not ever to live in California.
I like to ride around and just observe different scenery and strange people. I feel like LA is the best place to do that. They have it all!
Keep in mind that you'll likely get even MORE range with the Dual Star using a battery blender than you will running two batteries separately like this.
When you connect batteries in parallel, you not only double the total capacity, allowing your bike to store more energy, but also majorly improve efficiency. Each battery handles a lighter load, reducing stress and improving performance, which minimizes energy lost as heat. Additionally, this setup decreases the "voltage sag", keeping the voltage more stable and ensuring more efficient use of the stored energy. So running two batteries in parallel can extend the bike's range by more than double compared to using just one battery. This is because the system is not only bigger in terms of energy capacity but also smarter in using that energy effectively.
Excellent comment. You should save your comment in a file so you can paste it whenever a second battery is being discussed. There's a lot of riders completely unaware about the MAJOR benefits of using a complete dual battery setup, including a balancer ("blender").
@@aFoundingTH-camr I believe citizen cycle said the new wired bikes batteries are blended, and he ought to know.
Whoa, someone just stating facts and not giving their extremely biased opinion? Very strange to see in this TH-cam comment section 😅
@@johns5504 They are, and the Wired bikes don't charge more for the second battery and blender/combiner. This now makes the Wired Freedom the least expensive 40+ MPH bike with dual blended batteries. I was rather surprised they did this.
The e cell bike is only getting 36-37mph in reviewer testing, as is expected from a controller pulling 1800 watts continuous. New Wired bikes go 41mph and have much better acceleration. Not even close. E cells is really a #2.
Thanks for sharing your adventure.
Great job! I finally pulled the trigger and purchased the Star dual battery package. Thanks for all the e-bike
I woulda did the whole review behind those 2 lovely, church going, respectable, definitely wouldn't rob you ladies. 😂
Well of course they would rob you..... of your innocence! Oh wait, did I still have that? 😔
Loved this video! I like your review videos, but it was great to see something different this time, you should do a few more videos like this on some other bikes
Enjoyed the different format and ride locations. Crazyneaa is entertaining
I will say, You definitely always need to have your batteries full charged & you should always have your GPS going so you know where you are at and where you are going and have a couple holders so you can take water with you!
Love the videos! I Rode 42 miles the other day on one of our many rail trails in Ohio. Lectric XP 3.0 with 2 long range batteries, after the ride, still have power to spare.
Hey Matt after seeing your videos on this 5 Star e-bike I order mine.
Thanks for making your videos very explicit and over all riding the bikes by the trails I just too run 30 years ago!
Wired Freedom bike this one competes with just got updated and now includes a free 2nd rack battery for same $1999 price. Many other free updates/upgrades also including 4 piston calipers, and 203mm rotors, and 45 amp controller.
Yeah, you know Wired is scared of e-Cells when they start throwing in a whole free battery. That being said, that's definitely enough to make me still want a Freedom over an E-cells, at least if we're comparing $2k vs $2k. E-cells is still a superior bike if you've got the money for everything it can come with, though,
and I'm pissed I should have waited
The e cell bike is pretty crappy with a frame that allows the battery to hit the shock, poor welds, and terrible cable management. The only meaningful option is the torque sensor, and no one has tried one yet. Much rather have a thru axle fork compared to a dual crown bolt on that limits your turn radius. The e cell bike is 1000 watts weaker and several mph slower. Wired is also a much better looking bike, particularly the new cruiser. Wired looks well made, e cells looks sloppy and rushed.
@@jfly2249 Sounds like you're comparing a new Wired to an old e-cells. The new e-cells bikes go 41-43 mph just like the Wired Freedom, and both bikes improved over time. And you're comparing the 1500W motor rating, to the 2400W Peak rating. They're basically using the same motor, same performance. Definitely not 1000 Watts weaker. I think in your haste to confirm your own bias against the e-cells bike, you chose not to compare Peak to Peak, but instead compared Rated to Peak.
I got me a cruiser and because I can pick it up it only cost me 2105$ after tax. Nobody can beat that and I'll get it in about 30 days or so. Ecells next batch isn't coming for 2months and I can't wait that long.
I used your 100 dollar pff code! Thanks man that helps a lot, actually! I can't wait to get my ecell! David, the owner, is on a mission and doesn't care who's in the way! 💯🔥
Fun video... good job!
Very nice bike I still like the wired freedom more awesome review
Dam good job dude!
All I can say is it was Entertaining !
I've seen naked superman in nyc doing the same pose only there was water coming out the hose 😅
WOW great video on a high-power trip with five star ECELLS
Can't wait to get mine and ride around my city of San Diego
good video, nerve racking but lots of fun to watch. Thank you
Interesting mix of neighbourhoods... And characters. Bike and rider did a pretty good job too.
Very lively trip😂
I like the idea of the dual Starr bike with a third extra spare in the rear bag.👍 hope you do the new wired cruiser, which comes with an extra battery it has also caught my eye.
I just wanted to say major thanks to this channel because you turned me on to the motor goat and the power goes and I bought both of them and the extra batteries and I use your discount code so you definitely got a percentage of that money back to you so thanks for the information on the goat powered bikes they are awesome as all get out
Love your videos, were you on the 17” or 19” frame E Cell bike?
This was such a fun ebike range test
Ordered that beautiful Dual same color with gold rims ...so psyched!
Enjoy your 3 month wait for a bike that has 1000 fewer watts and is blown out of the water by the new Wired bikes. It’s also more expensive and doesn’t have a thru axle and the frame isn’t designed for such a big battery causing the rear shock to hit. I’d wait to see how they resolve this frame issue.
@@jfly2249I agree wired has now taken the lead,let the battle begin
@@jfly2249 you go around all the Cells sites saying the same stupid shit...my suggestion is to get a life cause clearly you don't have one...and you are wrong about it all stalker boy
@@jfly2249 more like a month/way better company where you can customize to your liking/ new models will have thru axle, customized shocks no worries...The frame issue lol... you mean the one you guys copied? your a lying joke
Good Video!
Great job staying hydrated! Was there a bike in this video? Very "interesting" sights on your journey!
Lol
Must suck to be you. Worked overtime schilling for e cells and now they have a bike that’s not even close to competitive with the Wired bikes. What company wants to work with an influencer who tries to screw you in every hole? You won’t believe how much better the new model performs. It’s as much of an improvement as the original Wired Freedom was over the Kepler. But you will never know as you have never even ridden a Wired Freedom and are probably not getting one to review😂😂😂
@@jfly2249 im kind of disappointed in your response time to my comment. You're losing your edge.
I agree. 🤨 Watching the things you do and the way you talk, I believe you are. 🤪
This is one of the bikes I am currently looking at. This one and a Fiido Titan.
Cool video. Nice to see the bus wrap design for Netflix I did a couple of months ago @ the 9:47 mark. I love being a graphic artist!
Nice work 🤙
@@TailHappyTV Thanks! I did the Dune 2 bus wraps as well that are driving around town. If you go down to San Diego, you’ll start seeing the TV show “Snow Piercer” train wraps in a couple of weeks. I love your work. I’m 59, and I have a Himiway Fat tire cruiser that I’ve put about 935 miles on it so far, on mostly light mountain biking blue trails for the most part, I can’t do the hardcore riding any more, lol! You should come out to my neck of the woods in Santa Clarita, and do some videos of our dirt trails, like the Trek trail or Placerita Canyon. Those bikes you test are perfect for them. Keep up the cool videos! Peace out!
This video makes me wanna put my E-bike in my truck and drive from The Bay Area to LA to experience LA first hand.
Marty, you are The Fabio of E-bikes!!!I
For as much as you ride bike, I would have thought you would carry a few bottles of water!!!
Love these reviews, especially since I bike through Playa Vista/Marina Del Rey every day which is where the majority of these reviews take place.
I need to get involved in reviewing ebikes here in Reno. Tackling the McCarran Loop in one charge would be paramount.
thank you for the tour of L.A.
Great video! I'd still love to see you do a range test of the Wallke H9 AWD, if possible. I bought my H9 because of your review, using your discount link of course.
I wouldn't even worry about the range lol.
Mahalo, Matt...for battery/range test. Have been watching yours, and other YT reviews, about Five Star. Just w/in >10-20 days have decided to THIS is the ride Eye want! Just need to come up w/$$$$!(Isn't that Always the ca$e?!)-lol....Stay Safe, Ride Safer...Aloha from Hawaii...p.s...Keep 2 Eyes/Hands on the Road Ahead...Two many "distractions" running all-round the place!😮😅
I bike every other day. The shit I see in your videos though...you are a brave man to ride in that traffic.
Inner city HellScape....fun...
hey TH. Could you do a range test on the new 60V aniioki? apparently it can go 200 miles in range
Need to see the updated Wired Cruiser reviewed by you. It has a new controller, in frame battery, 2nd battery, updated motor and now full suspension. Same price.
How far did you have to pedal home?
Thought this was a John Hicks video for a sec.
GTA is back......YEAH
What riding app do you use?
What speed gps app do u use
Skid row I think the OG skid row was on yesler in Seattle I think I seen a picture 1856 lol yep Seattle that's where you go to see the OG skid row
Epic ride with epic NPCs!
If they would’ve said 2 more words for free, an angry guy in a purple suit would’ve rolled up😂
Can you do a review of the urbrica fat tire ebike motorcycle style pedal Assist bike
nice power taking you up those hills. very entertaining footage! good work Matt
Early in the video I thought man those are nice saddle bags I should get them. By the end of the video I no longer want them haha
Please review Palsec Px6 or Ridstar h20
“I feel like I should just throw this on the ground like everyone else does” Sheep led to the slaughter. One Train - One Gaia! Ain’t no goin to Mars bruh bruh
I knew it your in California since all those places look familiar 😄.
Why did they take away the belt drive option?
Gotta admit Matt, this was the most exciting e-bike range test I have ever seen. Your "movie" had it all: thrills, spills, craziness, madness, drama, and the cherry on top, (suspiciously) extended interaction with a couple of hens showing off their (purported) swimwear.
Better start brushing up on your Oscar acceptance speech: "I'd like to thank the Academy, mom, girlfriend, and pooch for their . . . "
P.S. How did you rig that bag to fall off the bike on cue? Slick move dude.
Is the second battery you used the same battery off of the other "similar" looking bike from another brand?
Also, my rule of thumb is 1 mile per each amp hour no matter what riding style or conditions.
Ecells DUAL STAR package includes a dual battery bike with TEKTRO 4 piston brakes, dual 203mm TEKTRO rotors, An ECELLS DUAL CROWN fork and a big motorcycle style fork with 2yr warranty on batteries and motors, and check out with Matts code at less than check out than Wireds. The "biigger better" motors that WIRED is promoting with the extended axles, we shipped yesterday on all our bikes according to HENTACH. Dont be folled. Ecells DUAL STAR package is way better value. We dont do deceptive addons. We shipped those motors first.
I won't be folled. I also dont want my shock smacking into my frame.
Wired has a new proprietary 45 amp potted controller where e cells is using the old 40 amp KT controller. The Wired has 1000 (One Thousand) more watts! Not even in the same power category anymore, the Wired destroys the e cell clone on every dimension. E cells also doesn’t pay taxes, some kinda of sovereign citizen thing, and is not competing, they are committing a crime. Warranty is no good when the business is bankrupt and the owner is in jail.
I want my bike to arrive tax free
Haven't they been in business for like a decade? I think he has his taxes figured out and I don't see how it's any of your business. I'm not on either side because I've never rode either bike. I don't talk shit about things I've never experienced
@@johns5504 it doesn't. You have to air it up before you ride it. lol
Man that was a nice…..well…..
Dang they just walking around with their butts out like that?!
Still waiting for someone to do a comprehensive side by side comparison between this bike and the wired freedom. Same weight rider, head to head on flat ground and up hill, then riders switch bikes and do it all over again. Only then can we settle the debate of which is faster. My bet would be that they perform almost identically.
Not even close. The new Wired has a 45amp controller and has 1000 more peak watts. The new Wired bikes accelerate faster, have much better hill climbing, and are 4mph faster. The e cells performs the same as the old version Wired bikes because they have identical drive trains. All sorts of problems with e cells launch besides being underpowered by 1000 watts, real scum bag company with 0 ethics and no regard for the law.
@@jfly2249
I Love The Fly. He is so Funny!! Did you know he is The Close Personal Friend of The Owners of Wired Bikes???The Fly told me that himself. E-Cells makes The Fly Angry because they make a Better Bike than his Friends at Wired. The Fly has an Anger Problem!!!
@jfly2249 so far a lot of the reviews that I am now seeing on the 5 star and on the new wired freedom do seem to support what you are saying regarding g the top speed of the 5 star being about 4 mph lower than that of the freedom. It looks like 36-37 mph for the ecells throttle only and 40-41 or maybe even more for the wired. However, testing conditions can have a huge impact on speed ie temperature, wind direction and speed, the grade of the road, sometimes what seems flat may be slightly uphill or downhill. That's why a head to head test is the only way to really compare the 2 bikes. But from what is out there now, it does appear that the ecells performs like the origional wired freedom which has now been improved on at least twice since the original came out about 2 years or so ago.
What saddlebags?
Did you see John Hicks lol
Hopefully the battery is okay 😂
LOL....Of Course...
What phone mount is that?
GTA map 😂
Question! The website has a 24” tire and rims option, does this mean that they will swap out the 26” tires for 24”? Will that make the bike more accessible for a shorter rider?
yep, 24 " rims and it makes the bike 1" shorter to the ground comparing it to the 26" rims. itll reduce the top speed, and increase the acceleration (not torque) by a nominal amount.
Is this e-bike basically a rebranded Wired Freedom?
2.50 for a water! I'm in the wrong business!
This kind of felt like a John Hicks bike video with the stray dogs and exquisite women on the streets.
Too bad these bikes don't have regen, the range would be extended even more! Now I'm looking at my own saddlebags... I guess there are more stresses involved since they don't get the benefit of the suspension, gonna add some extra straps I think.
Did u make it home tho bro
Looks just like a wired freedom
Are the bags from ecells?
You can see the ecells logo on them
17:04 You said it's gunna be another easy trip home?
What is the comparable e-cells bike in europe?😊
Because of your channel and using your discount code I bought two bikes from Power goat by I got the power go and the motor goat and I got an extra battery for each one 5500 all together and I used your coupon in your thing so you should get some kick back or whatever for that I guess
Aww man you're going to love em brother. It's exactly like this bike, in terms of power, the power goats have a little more power. It's definitely got a tad bit more weight to it, but it's a cruiser, pedaling is not the first option. It's powerful man, powerful.
@@lilvegasbasc-se7en-0-duece67 well thank you I definitely appreciate it I can't wait for them to come in there was a little bit of a hiccup and delays but then again we are in World War 3 and the Panama Canal is a little messed up and the Red Sea is a little messed up and so some things coming from China are being delayed cancel a middle of April delivery got delayed until almost the middle of May but it is what it is I get my next week as in this coming week and I can't wait I'm so super excited and I only learned about them because of your channel so thank you thank you thank you thank you. Love your channel and I checked out all of your videos now just to see what else is new and cool and the latest thing so once again thanks for everything, and it also thanks for your discount code on two bites and two extra batteries
You took a second battery and did not charge it? lol
👍
the route you were taking is definitely not the most efficient way to get to the hollywood sign. you shot farther east than needed.
for example, from your starting point you could have taken slauson to la brea. hitting downtown and skid row, you kind of overshot going outside the general direction, more east than necessary. then you kind of have to go more northwest, slightly double backing west again. i wouldn’t even hit downtown if possible. that way you can have one battery going to the sign and the other battery for returning… depending on how you manage to go through the uphill portion to the sign. 👍✌️
The old Slauson cut off, old Carson routine
Can't make up my mine. Ecells or Wired Freedom. Mostly for city riding but will be on the dirt a little also. Comments?
I will add to the confusion, for even more money the Motor Goat v3 lives at a slightly higher plane of your choices. Slightly faster, with an optional second battery which gives a total of 45 Amp Hour of capacity. In about 2 months they will have an alternative second battery which boosts combined capacity to 75 Amp hour. It will have range that neither the Wired or eCells can match, as well as a higher top speed. But then, all of this has been changing month by month. Any of these bikes could add a higher capacity battery.
choose wired if you like wired as a brand, choose ecells for everything else.
Nerves of steel! No way I'd ride downtown L.A. 😑
