The Wired Freedom Ebike has a UNRIVALED 60V battery and 40A controller pumping over 2400W of peak output to its geared hub motor. Most other ebikes offer 48v or maybe 52v for comparison, 60V is an absolute game changer. 60V is what comes on the Sur Ron. And for just $2200, this electric bike is one of the fastest and most powerful ebikes I've experienced for the money. The best part is this one "looks like an ebike" instead of an electric motorcycle, so even though it exceeds class 3 electric bike limits in most areas, it doesn't look any different then your typical fat tire ebike.

Happy riding ⚡🤙
Trigger pulled!
Hey love your reviews this is Mike in Chicago. I want to apologize because I ordered one of these bikes couple weeks ago waiting for it to come in August but I did not go through your link because I was with the owner Steve and I got a military discount on top of it but when I do go to pick this bike up, I will mention all the info about you so you get credit for this ! I have 7 electric bikes from the FLX blade which is pretty quick and a couple from Rambo , IZIP and so on ! I have family out in Torrance and I do bike up to Venice now and then when I’m out there The similarities of biking on the lakefront in Chicago and LA are almost the same. lotta fun so thank you and take care. MIKE
are they going to ship august first? or like mid august?
Just ordered the Wired Cruiser yesterday! So excited! Supposed to ship mid October 🤞
Sold my Ariel Rider X-Class 48V yesterday and that topped out at (33mph speedometer) and (31mph GPS) flat ground fully charged and I weigh 195lbs.
If this Cruiser gets me to (35mph GPS) I’ll be thrilled!
is the cruiser better, why did you chose it over the freedom bike@@johnb6174
Make sure to either loctite that rear fender or remove it. The screw backed out on me during a ride and caused a major accident. Wired helped me out which was great but it was preventable.
i go over my bike every time i take it out loc tite or not I'm on the Facebook page with you glad your ok didn't they give you a bike if I'm not mistaken
I'm pulling off those plastic fenders soon as I pull it out of the box. It rarely rains in Sacramento so they aren't needed and if I do need them eventually I will upgrade to metal fenders that don't flop around.
@@beggart7The new batches have redesigned rear fenders and racks that securely hold the rear fender. If you keep the rear fender on the older version you need to let the air out of the back tire and make sure the screw is tightened preferably with loctite.
Mine was delivered this week. Just got it assembled Sunday afternoon and took it for a short ride before dark. It's not lacking for power at all. As a matter of fact, I'm going to detune it in the controller to make it a more mild mannered long distance cruiser. But a few button clicks will unleash it's full potential if you're so inclined! FYI- mine was delivered with a Samsung battery instead of an LG.
Mine is bottoming out somewhere and cause the tire to rub. It's not rubbing on the controller. Must be rubbing somewhere on fender. Hopefully, I'll figure it out. Is yours rubbing anywhere on big bumps.
You could just be hitting the limits of travel, try tightening the spring. You need to hold the top while twisting the bottom. Some people may have racks that are bent slightly causing the screw that holds the rear fender to contact the tire.
Where did you purchase?
did you buy the same Freedom model? their website says PREORDER for NOV delivery
@@kevinsiegel4798 I ended up ordering a totem bulldog and got it in a couple days
I really like it when YOU do all the research for us bro. Its much appreciated - especially the real-world test rides
People are going to be happy with the upgrades Wired introduced in this latest shipment. New frame Geometry creating much more travel with no chance of rubbing the controller! An 11 cog in the rear and a better derailleur, a new fender that is firmly attached to the rack and doesn’t flap around. Wired has upgraded the bike with each batch they bring in and now it’s just about perfect. Anyone waiting for October or November orders are going to be freakin psyched!! They keep making the bike better.
when was this latest shipment done?
The current batch people are now receiving, this is a review of an example of the previous batch.
@@jfly2249 where did you find out about these changes - id love to read more
@@Joz1I just saw my Friends. Also has Samsung cells now and new rack that incorporates rear fender. The specs and pictures on their website are from their first batch.
@@jfly2249 how do you know about the cells - that would be in the battery no?
i remember getting my first electric bike back in the early 2000.. i was the only person with a electric bike.. went on the board walk at the beach.. 100% reg bikes.. except mine.. now 99% are electric bikes.. even elementary school kids riding electric bikes... what a trip..
My dad was probably the first person to have one here in the UK in our large town of 300k people. Back in 2002 or so 🤣. He used some shitty 12v lead acid batteries and the range was about 15 miles barely reaching 15mph. We had to have someone build the wheel out of some sort of motor ripped out of an appliance. Back then there were no regulations around them so the police would pull it over and not know what the hell it was. Good old days.
@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe Now look.. everyone and their Mother has a electric bike... what im afraid of is there are sooo many electric bikes and alot of brainless teens that will not obey the laws.. and the electric bikes will get banned in alot of places mainly the beach boardwalk.. and near parks etc... when i had my bike.. i used human power on low gear when i was in a heavy foot traffic area.. once i was clear and on a strait clear road.. i engaged the throttle.. Still thinking of getting one again.. there are sooo many cool bike now.. I would like to get a 2000 watt one.. and if i won the lottery.. i would get a Delfast 3.0i that bike is really nice... and really expensive.
@@greatfullded Yeah there are so many nowadays. Even with our horrendous laws of 250w and 15.5mph top speed people still buy and ride them. Not me though I built one running about 1500 watts.
@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe ya that should get you to abt 28mph.. which is plenty fast.. and all using Lithium battery.. and getting alot of Miles before you need to charge it... when i had mine... it took Lead Acid batteries.. Bloody heavy... i used 4 12v lead acid battery... here the laws was 17-18mph was concidered bike.. well back then... any faster was concidered a motorized bike.. which needed a lic... but now days its up to the rider to obey the laws and keep it under i think now is 18-20mph.. but all the bike sold that i seen and ask the rider, they say it goes 25-28mph...
@@greatfullded I get about 33mph on a flat decent road, which there aren't too many of because the UK roads are just full of potholes and random bumps. I could get a 72v battery upgrade in the future and probably get over 40 quite easily. I'm running a 52v 17ah right now.
Great review, can’t go back to a 48v bike after feeling the power of 60! The bike has a great battery, great controller, great brakes and a hybrid metal reinforced geared motor with 5x the expected lifespan. And it’s only 77lbs with full suspension. If you live in the Chicago area you can arrange to pick one up and save on shipping.
How is that ??? I live 100 ft from the 606 trail and always biking to the lake !
LOL never mind I see there in Wood Dale IL. but thats nice to know thanks and yes that is off of Irving Park Rd on the other side of the airport
Yeah I was surprised to see they are local to the 'burbs. I just ordered and will swing by to do pickup. It's about an hour from me living in Lake County.
Comment 1: Great review, can’t go back to a 48v bike after feeling the power of 60!Reply: Hey there! I totally agree with you, once you experience the power of a 60v bike, it's hard to go back to anything less. The freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike I'm currently enjoying has a brushless 750W motor that delivers an impressive 80Nm torque, providing a similar powerful experience. Plus, the hybrid metal reinforced geared motor ensures a longer lifespan compared to other bikes. It truly enhances the riding experience!Comment 2: The bike has a great battery, great controller, great brakes and a hybrid metal reinforced geared motor with 5x the expected lifespan. And it’s only 77lbs with full suspension.Reply: Hi! You've captured it perfectly, the freebeat Morph eBike indeed has outstanding components. The battery on this eBike is removable and has a 48V 15Ah capacity, giving you an impressive range of up to 60 miles on a single charge. The controller ensures smooth and responsive performance, while the brakes provide reliable stopping power. And the full suspension system makes the ride incredibly comfortable, even on rough terrains. It's a well-rounded eBike that truly stands out in terms of quality and performance.Comment 3: If you live in the Chicago area, you can arrange to pick one up and save on shipping.Reply: Hello there! If you're in the Chicago area, you're in luck because you can conveniently arrange to pick up the freebeat Morph eBike instead of dealing with shipping. It's a great opportunity to save some extra cash while getting your hands on this amazing eBike. Enjoy the riding experience and all the exceptional features it offers!
Why don't you get a normal bike and pedal yourself?
I'm 51 and I've had probably over 20 dirt bikes and 10 4wheelers I don't really remember back then but I'm so excited about this I can't stand it
FINALLY! A review of a bike brand I've heard of! The Wired Freedom is one of the e-bikes I am considering buying first. The other is the Philodo H8 dual drive bike. Eagerly awaiting your review of that bike, because all your tests are the same for every bike, and that provides us viewers with the best information to compare brands.
Same with me, which one did you get though?
@@victorijeh9521 Haven't got one just yet.
I could not be happier with my Wired bike. Make yourself happy and buy one now.
Great review ! You made it very easy for me to make a buying decision on this bike. Wired Freedom checks all the boxes for me, and what looks like B5 blue is absolutely stunning ! Only have 53 days until delivery .I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas..
53 days is a lot
Just ordered through the link. Current bike is a Carbo folding belt drive. While it’s great to throw in the car for trips, you can’t hack the controller for more than 19mph 🙄
Looking forward to November delivery. Appreciate your in depth reviews.
I've got well over 300miles on my WIRED FREEDOM EBIKE, it's fun to see people try this as the first EBIKE they've ever ridden.....and now I've got a few who have honestly looked into buying one.
I think they will be kinda disappointed with less power and comfort. All I can say is please do your research to find the best for your needs. I'm glad I did! Another GREAT VIDEO! Thanks again
You've put 300 miles on it. You're the perfect person to ask this then (if you don't mind). Okay, I just ordered one of these and Matt was wondering how long it can keep giving him 2000w for. I'm curious, if you're commuting and going at a constant speed, what can I expect? If I tried to go 35mph for 30 minutes would it cut out on me before that and overheat? 30mph? The "continuous" rating is actually not much more than the bike I already have (750w vs 1000w for this one).
@@ChristmasEve777 I've not had any problems with losing power, I have road 45miles using ps2 and when I used the throttle still had 1900watts
I've beat the bike harder off road and haven't had the motor get hot when I put my hand on it. Even riding on county roads with throttle only it hasn't got hot.
I've been checking because I thought it would get hotter. Hope this helps
@@ericberg7364 Thanks so much for the info!!
Hey there! I came across a new project that might interest you. Have you heard about the freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike? It's a revolutionary eBike that combines both indoor fitness and outdoor exploration. One of the most outstanding features is that it can be charged when you apply indoor mode! With its brushless 750W motor and impressive torque, you'll experience exhilarating speed and power. The puncture-resistant fat tires and front suspension ensure a smooth ride in any terrain. Plus, the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature provides valuable performance insights and keeps you motivated during your rides. It's definitely worth checking out! 😄🚲
It's illegal to ride on bike paths, which most people do for recreation.
What a beast! The full suspension is icing on the cake.
@Pm-meviatheabovedetails congratulations, you failed at life!
Just the excitement in his voice the whole time he was driving the bike, had me sold on it!!
I've emailed Steven the owner of wired bikes a couple times and he always responds, I always thought that was really cool of him
Waiting on my preorder. I just watch this video once a day to validate my decision 😅
august orders are shipping. started yesterday through next week. came here to spread the word.
I just got an EKX X20. It is only a 48V system but is also very capable. It tops out around 35MPH and is similarly equipped. 48V Versions available for as low as $1200 if you get the lower capacity batteries. I wish I had got the 20Ah instead of 10Ah now that I have it though.
3rd party ebike battery extenders.
You guys are so lucky to be able to ride these powerful bikes, here in Australia the legal limit is 36v 250w with a cut off speed 25 kph = 15 mph. Of course most of us buy more powerful bikes and remove the limiter, if the cops wanted to be mean they could charge us but I've never had troubles in 3 years now.
We're in the same boat. At this time, unregulated and unknowledgeable enforcement is bliss.
Damn that is ridiculously slow
The Australian government is hurting the market.
Here in the USA e-bikes like this are technically illegal as well. It’s just no one will ever enforce this and even if they did enforce this it would be impossible to do so. The legal limit here in the USA is a 750watt motor that cuts off power at 28mph
Usain Bolt top speed is 27mph... this 🥷 speed while running is illegal in Australia 💀💀
I used to ride the bike path from Redondo to Malibu 30 years ago every weekend (no e-bikes then). Sometimes twice. Never once saw it that crowded.
Ordered mine today. Went with orange one. Wish i would have seen this review first and ordered through the link. I have watched many of your reviews and have been shopping for an ebike for a few months. Citizen biker sold me on the wired freedom but was hoping you would review someday. I wanted to see the wired bike take that parking garage hill. Bought the bike today and then after decided to search more reviews and found this. Now im very happy i pulled the trigger. It was between the wired freedom or the Cyrusher Ranger. I have to wait until next month for it to ship but i saved $800 and got 8 more volts
just spoke with wired. they started shipping yesterday the 15th. cruisers this week and freedom's next week. came here to spread the good news. mine is next week.
@@timothywarehime5956 I got my shipping notice. Email says Monday 21st but the UPS tracking doesn't have an arrival date yet. Should have the bike next week sometime. I have a whole box of Amazon upgrades sitting here for it including some Schwalbe Jumbo Jim's.
same here. whole box of stuff to put on it.@@beggart7
💯 would like to see a review of a another bike with a different design that has similar power and options as this one
Getting a fat bike myself, I reckon the extra power will make it safer than my current old faithful 250 watt bike, like easier to keep up with traffic, I think always wearing a helmet and high vid will be good practice when I get it, 1000 to 2000 watt should suffice, plenty of power for my big size, can’t wait should be cool.
Great thorough review!
Awesome E-bike. Those welds are a bit of an eyesore, only complaint IMO.
I wanted one of these for awhile, but they are still on pre sale for a few more months… I picked up a troxus explorer when it was on crazy sale for 1200 and it’s so so much fun but only 31 mph lol. Be safe out there .
30mph is all you need tbh
Holy moly, what a bike! If it were available in Sweden id get one in an instant 🤤🔥
You sold me with this bike ... i do a lot of surf fishing in Orange County 🍊 and i need a bike like this that can handle the sand and i can slap a cooler on the back with a few rod holder's. Cheers 👏
Just pulled the trigger. Was on fence between cruiser but the back shock convinced me to go with the freedom. Clicked link but no discount. I messaged them .
I'd absolutely love to just buy this bike... the whole 2k price tag is the struggle... especially living in a colder climate where you can't ride year round.
I used to have that problem too, that’s why I moved to LA
@@TailHappyTV problem is, I don’t think I could ever live in California… question for you, do you buy all of these bikes or do companies give you these as loaners? If they are giving them to you that’s a good little hustle you have going on. Too bad I’m fat and ugly, I doubt anyone is going to want to see a fat man riding an e-bike around haha
1 horse can generate about 15 horsepower. Nice bike, fastest bike for the price.
As an electrician who installs generators, battery back systems, etc. for homes...I can tell you that LG batteries are not all they are cracked up to be. I have seen three battery systems fail in the last year alone, all LG, and all were given an unknown date of when the battery would be available to replace the defective unit. One of these clients actually had me remove the batteries and install a standby NG generator in its place. This was a $20K system they essentially threw away. So, I would not be impressed by a manufacturer stating they are using LG cells myself.
Better then no name cells 😆 that’s the standard at these prices
New bikes are shipping with Samsung I believe. Btw, Wired has just completely redesigned the Freedom for 2024 and apparently everyone waiting for an order is getting the new bike. Now that’s insane! What color are you getting?
@@TailHappyTV I agree, but my personal experience with LG batteries (not their other products) is pretty poor! Thanks for the excellent bike reviews😎 I’m likely leaving towards getting this bike regardless.
I have watched almost all your vids looking for that perfect E-Bike for myself. I think the search is over!
Great review! Do you get to keep all of these bikes??!! I'm assuming the companies want them back, but that seems like a lot of work! This is probably the coolest bike so far.
@Pm-meviatheabovedetails Scam, I think.
Says on the website it’s a 1000w nominal rating on the motor, which makes sense with 60v and 40a you’d probably be looking at around 2kw or thereabouts max. Good to see 1000w motors in this form factor now, very discreet
my wife and i both have these bikes and they are with out a doubt the best bang for your buck well built great power great battery range i watch your vids and see you take them 48 volt bikes up your little hill in the garage and struggle and i always said if he gets his hands on a wired he will be shocked also wired customer service is the best in the business period great review bro !!!!!!
I love the way you rec your floor with tire marks just for our pleasure! lol
Wait til you see the wall 😜
Been waiting on this review from you! Great work!!
I just got my first ebike and its a blast. I watched 5 of your videos and now i subscribed. Good channel and good quality 👍🏻
this bike with a torque sensor and mountain bike wheels, perfect! someday maybe.
Torque sensors are terrible on high power hub motors. Every downstroke causes the bike to lurch violently on high assist levels. The Wired constant wattage approach works really well for a high powered bike.
Put two batteries on this with dual connector and you are good.
This bike is insane it might have to much power for me but if i lived in a place with huge hills this would be my bike.
Hills = mid drive motor not hub motor. You would burn up that cheap motor within a week.
Awesome review and video! As a motorcycle rider I cringe a little seeing you riding at 35 mph on the streets. Imagine the road rash of a get off or a collision at that speed. I don't want to mother-hen you, but maybe check into some protective gear at your local motorcycle shop.
The long girly hair will protect his melon. 🤣🤣
I'm confused as to how they can put that class of a sticker on it when clearly this bike is capable of blowing that out of the water?
@@rentvestingthe stickers are layered, with class 3 underneath, you are technically supposed to remove the class 2 sticker to reveal the class 3 once unlocked, obviously no one would intentionally give themselves away to an officer, if it's capable of over 20 mph many bike lanes and trails restrict what can be ridden on them leaving you subject to getting harassed by law enforcement, most law enforcement may know of the class system but likely won't have inside knowledge of the user interface or how to check to see if it's been unlocked or not, leaving many to rely on information provided by the sticker 😉
Just awesome. You're my go to for E-Bike research. Vermont has repurposed railroad tracks, smooth, town to town. Under used . I'm down to three possibilities or swapping out my controller and brushless motor, RWD
I just got my first e-bike (Lectric XP 3.0) but if/when I’m ready for a faster bike that doesn’t fold, I will definitely have the Wired Freedom in mind
I mean, you reeeeeally shouldn’t be getting a fast bike bruh. If you’re using this on the sidewalk/bike lane you’re an asshole, and if you’re using this on the road you’re putting your life in danger for the sake of not having to register an actual motorcycle (which is what you’re getting at this point)
I think I found my first e bike. It looks like you had a blast on that thing! Great review!
I'm a big guy... 6'2" 240ish pounds. I think this is the eBike for me. I just hope it retains the sense of power with my weight on it.
It will
i'm about your size and yes it does.
Great! Thanks man, @@timothywarehime5956
FYI 57.6 volts is 50% on 60 volt battery pack. This bike is an animal for sure. Also seems to have pretty good build quality except for forks and rear shock.
And at the end of the battery, it can still pull almost 2000 watts. The front fork is surprisingly good, they changed from a Mozo fork to another brand on the latest version and it performs better according to Wired. Works fine on roads and light off road. The rear spring is adequate but upgradeable. For $2000, what more can you expect? Just so much better than ANY 48v bike. Physics wins.
I really want to see a review for the Philodo H8. Two 1000w motors, one in front and one in back.
I’ll check it out!
@@TailHappyTV love your channel and reviews. The format of your tests and the consistency of your uploads is much appreciated.
buy the wired best 2000 dollar bike period
Matt, great review. I went ahead and ordered one after watching. Looking to get a bike for my wife as well. I’ve watched a ton of your reviews, have you ridden the Juiced RipRacer? Would be a great size for her and has a decent price point. Thanks!
I see these vids and think “I want that!”
Then I remember that I have a 1100 virago in the garage that hasn’t seen the road for years.
Was waiting for you to test the Kepler like this. You got the Wired first. Very cool.
It's a shame none of these decently powerful e-bikes seem to ship to Canada. I'd like something for commuting to save me some gas when I don't need to bring the car for what I'm doing. Also, Hi from the other coast! :D
Check out Fabulous E-bikes out of Montreal! They have many awesome bikes! I purchased
their Trail
Step Extreme 26x4" step through and love it. They also have Trail Steps with skinny tires for commuting.
Why not just find someone over the border and then have it delivered they’re and go pick it up… maybe get temp post office box if that’s possible
@@top1cat01 I don't have a passport and I'd end up paying an extra 200 in gas. XD
@@jimbianca9560 might have to check them out sometime!
You should take this one to the Hollywood sign and give us your thoughts on how easy it is on this bike, compared to all the ones you've taken to the sign.
You read my mind 😆, I actually already completed this adventure, it’s in editing
@@TailHappyTVwhere?
Thanks absolutely the best review. Can’t believe you drove in the deep sand. My old bike didn’t make it to Venice Ca and back to Manhattan Beach but I know now this will do it. Really great review thanks.

Man! This video persuaded me to get the Wicked! First of all, your video is enjoyable to watch (plus, you gave me an awesome POV). I have been researching for quite sometime, watched your other previous vids, but this one really caught me. Plus, I live few miles from Wood Dale, IL, where this company is located - gotta support local, right? Your reaction and immediate feedback in the vid is infectious. Again, thank you for the vid. Will definitely get this now.
Sweeeet, yeah this thing rules. I'm actually from that area originally, NW Indiana
@@TailHappyTV SWEET! Neighbors! Cool, man! Your vids provides educational info and many important details, that otherwise, many of us would not know about. Again, thank you very kindly & you're doing excellent work!
This looks great, 6’2” 250 lbs
Going off road a lot! Are the clearance issues taken care of?
My only concern.
Awesome video and thanks!
I had one with the 160mm shock, you could hit the controller. With the 165mm you cannot. The suspension is great on roads, trails and light off road. Anything more and you’d want an actual e MTB, which this is not.

@@aussie2uGAif it hasn't been released yet, where did the reports come from? Reviewers? I wouldn't worry much if it was a review bike that's been shipped all over the globe and run ragged over and over.
If you take care of it and maintain the bike properly I doubt you'll have issues.
Sold!! I ordered one through your link a week ago. Now the wait is killing me😆
Looks like everyone waiting for October and beyond preorders, we’ll be getting the new 2024 model.
I have been waiting 2 months. probably be next week for me.
Picked up my first Ebike about 3 months ago. The Aventon Aventure 2. Now I want this bad boy too!
Honestly, it’s probably not a bad move to start with a class 3 Ebike before jumping into something like this with no experience
Love my wicked cruiser, cant compare it to anything else as it’s my first ebike. Way fun! Be cool if in the future, wired would offer a front motor kit.
why
You don't want front wheel drive on anything with 2 wheels. You're asking for an accident
@@kenshinhimura9387nah as long as the front fork is set up right it’s a amazing experience
@@kenshinhimura9387The guy on "Citizen Cycle" has dual motor. His front motor is set up for throttle only and helps address your concerns. He states this is safer and gives you more power and bite to go up hills or off road. Also the installation seems pretty straightforward.
Great review. Just wondering if the handlebars have as much control off road as mountain bike bars?
bikes like this will kick ebikes off of bicycle trails
(7:47) *Revved up like a deuce, another runner in the night* 😁
20:23 the changing colors on that guys bike looks crazy
Love your narration! Quick and to the point with all the info we need. Excellent job on the vid too! Thank you.
Let’s hope the quality is there. It’s so easy to sell specs and features without durability.
600 trouble free miles so far! Great customer service if you have problems or questions. Controller is oversized, it can handle 80volts as is the motor, it can handle 3000 watts continuous and is rated at 5x the lifespan of nylon geared motors. The battery has the highest quality LG cells. Everything else on the bike can be fixed or replaced at any bike shop.
Thanks Matt for another fun and informative video, I always look forward to your next video. You helped me to make my finale decision on this bike! Wired's warehouse is local to me in IL, so I was able to test ride this "Muscle Bike" and meet the owner of Wired, who happens to be a great guy and very proud of his creation! So I ordered a blue Freedom Bike right on the spot!
Wish there was a 20" version, compact bmx style like the juiced rip racer
Checkout my Amp Rides Volt review
They keep coming down in price . Must be alot of competision ?
No helmet at 38mph\61kmh ?
Dude...
It's his life
He only wears a basic bicycle helmet even riding his 72v surron.
That's what I told lectric bike owner they're still on 48 volt battery never updated the batteries😢
I bought Lectric's 3.0 long range and thought I was cool but they just had to crush it. I waited 3 months for my lectric.
its too bad these dont ship until november because these reviews convinced me this is the perfect bike for me but i need something for my 16 mile super hilly daily commute sooner rather than later so ill probably go with the nomad since it seems to have everything i need for a relatively decent price
Right! Who wants to wait over two months 🤦🏻♂️
What's the nomad?
Where can I buy his bike? Can someone let me know. Please

Nice bike, ground breaking in many ways. @$2K for preorder, it would be worth ordering one, if I didn't just buy a commuter bike. I'd love to see this bike in a commuter configuration with 27.5 wheels and all season road tires on it, in a step thru. Looks like the priority was the battery pack (very expensive) and the controller, and motor. The motor with this 7 speed setup can take you faster than you can keep up in gear ratios with your legs, unless they put a bigger cassette on it with more speeds. The controller will need to be external because of the heat it generates; I've seen other bikes like that too; big AMPs == big HEAT. The motor is off brand but obviously works very well. it's solid state, I would not expect to have problems with it. If anything; the battery will be very expensive to replace; and the controller may have overheating / reliability problems over time. I like the weight; it's only 10 pounds heavier than many commuter bikes in the same price range.
IMO, it would be so good if it used 1.9-2.5" tires instead of 4" wide tires.
At 2.2" wide, Contact Urban III's would make this bike ride so fast off of the line :P
@@neutronpcxt372 I think the 4" tires improve the suspension. the fork and rear shock seems to be the cheapest they found
good info effort here with jeffster folks, Question: I can hear the motor noise when rolled backward so... this is a geared motor that does regeneration - Correct ? Let's have some info regarding the gear-set (ratio of motor RPM reduction) if possible and the regen behavior on the road... and I will watch vid close to see what the tailster says... Regen helps extend brake life, and distance... I like having regen.
Matt, I just ordered through your link. Hopefully I didn't mess it up! I can't wait to pick up and get riding!
I see an order came through 20 mins ago, thanks! 🙏You’re going to love it!
00:15 I love the skid mark 😂😂😂😂
I'd buy one if they shipped to Canada...
They don't ship to Canada? I was actually considering one myself
@@tr1707 I asked their automated chat and got a reply by email later that they didn't ship because of restrictions on motor - 500w - and others. But there are other American companies that do, and even Canadian companies selling 1000 w to1500 w bikes.
Too bad...
@@donl3130 I hadn't considered an upgrade to my Himiway Cruiser until this bike kept popping up with rave reviews on a few sites I follow. I inquired through the website and Steven responded shortly after that they can't ship to Canada due to ebike import laws. Don't know how I'd swing it but still pondering how to get my hands on one.
@@patrickmccabe2923 I don't know why...other companies ship them.
Maybe EBay or kijiji or Facebook market place...but haven't had any luck yet.
Love the review, but what about warranty and after the sale service?
Thanks! Really enjoyed ur review,, I am going to order this bike !!!
So head to head would you pick this over your previous #1 pick - the Velotric Nomad 1??
In typical Chinese style, too bad it's not a "WEIRD" ebike. Seriously, it's easy to see their priority in components. Good review as always, cheers.
I so want this! All the reviews are fire about the power and full suspension build. Like a Tesla speed bike. Can we get an 0-40 mph in 8 second bike yet?
Shunt mod the Wired and you are there.
@@jfly2249 cool. Thx!!
@@jfly2249shuntmod?!?! I have only heard of this on gpus! Got any links?
I rode one that came with a shunt mod and it was scary, the regular is powerful enough for me. Plenty of videos on soldering shunts on TH-cam but you might fry the controller.
@@jfly2249 gonna do this on the cheap controller I got. Let's go💪
Dang this is what I need for school but that is TOO dang expensive.
I’m never going to school on my e bike
This bike,and the others you test, make a lot more sense than my 100hp Suzuki, in the city.
I am curious about the bike's performance after a few summers.
God damn it. 2000$US and it still comes with a Shimano Tourney rear derailleur.
It should be an Altus or Acera at the bare minimum.
They put money elsewhere😅
@@MyFaithShines Yeah, on the tires.
I say, and will continue to say, that most of these bikes should be using 3" wide tires or 2.5" wide tires, not 4 inch wide monstrosities that aren't very helpful in most cases.
@@neutronpcxt372 i think the same
As a senior w/ joint pain my fat tires are a blessing. My scooter makes my joints hurt bad.
Love this channel ❤️ these e-bikes never give proper information. There are things on my bike I know nothing about. Like the gears on the handle bars. The buttons on the top of the suspension. I have a SMLRO XDC 600 please explain if possible. Thanks 😊
Are you going to post a ride to the Hollywood sign with the Wired? It would be nice to see the range.
Love your videos ...really great stuff, so thank you!
Quick question, if you don't mind...
Does the bike have speed limits for each PAS level (some bikes, with their "smart" cadence sensors and controllers now do this, and I think it's ludicrous).
In other words, can you utilize PAS 1 or 2 even at higher speeds if you so choose? I sure hope so!
You know, man, I think I actually overlooked this in my initial ride. I don’t think I even bother to check if the pedal assist worked beyond certain speeds, because I’m so used to them having cut off points in a certain miles per hour like you’re mentioning. My guess would be this is how the cadence sensor on this bike works, but I actually don’t know that for sure. I will ride the bike again and make another video with this one soon. I’ll make sure to include that.
@@TailHappyTV Thank you sir. My hope is that the bike allows the rider to utilize whatever level of pedal assist he or she desires, regardless of the speed the bike is traveling at.
I think that's the only set up that actually makes sense.
@@OpenmindedHusker1 I agree, the menus and settings on that bike is like really advanced so I have high hopes. Most importantly, the bike felt super natural when riding in its stock form, which I cannot say is true for some of the bikes I review.
The PAS just give you a flat wattage for each of the 5 levels so yes, you can use them at any speed. There are 3 levels of adjustment for the power assist to dial it in to where you want it. With c14=1, I get 120 watts on PAS 1, 300watts on PAS2, and about 600 watts on PAS3. Works much better than the mph based cadence sensors. Fully programmable and you can even have the mph based assist if you choose.
@@jfly2249 Thanks very much!! :)
Does anyone make a bike with this power but without a 4" fat tire? Would to have this power on a bike with 2-3/4" tires for city & paved trail riding.
In my mind there really isn't a benefit to skinny tires on an ebike. Typically you want skinny tires because they have less rolling resistance and are easier to pedal. Because the ebike does most of the work you only benefit from bigger tires
@@gonootropics2.065 I ended up getting the Freego F3 Pro Max and love it!
Nice edit everytime you blow past a stop sign. 😉
Just some advice. I have that same controller and display. I ramped up my power output to the max and I have almost ruined my battery and the connector on the bike. I live in South Tucson and the hot climate doesn't agree with the battery output at those amps. It took about 2 months of use to, basically, cook the connectors and now they fail to make contact. I would keep the power output at no more than like 85% next time.. this is why I am actually researching other ebikes. A new battery is $500 and Rad wont sell me new battery connections. I know yours isn't a Rad bike but that power controller is the one I upgraded to. Just some advice to keep in the back of your mind.
Thanks for the tips, this is definitely not a rad bike though. Rad Bikes are pretty under spec’d
