      I am pretty frustrated with my first ECells shopping experience. I purchased mine when the site was still showing a May delivery date. I've now been contacted and told it will not arrive until June and that the Gates Belt Drive that I ordered did not make it onto my order. I am considering canning the order entirely and going with another company that can hopefully hold up their end of the bargain.

    Thanks for the full vid of the 5 star I've been contemplating buying one , already have a early"23 Wired which doesn't have any mid suspension at my weight (243lbs.). The 2nd reason I purchased it was for the suspension 1st was the speed , so I really didn't get what was advertised . Really love the price point of the 5 star compaired to the wired , like $500 difference for a better warrantee and possibly better bike in all !!!

    Nice video! Ecell blows away all of the rest. I don't have one but have been researching since May. As far as your comment about the holes in the double wall rims, I was wondering if we can find some type of plug to fit in those because I was wondering how much dirt and debris would build up inside awhile back. I know automobiles have various size plastic and rubber plug/caps for holes in the body and frame. Maybe something like that could benefit this!? I will personally find out once I get my Ecell in 2025! Again, thanks for the video! Good job!

    wow a great 5 star road/trail journey!
    thanks for taking us along on the ride!
    my sister live in Antioch awhile and Ive walked some of those trails. the scenery is outstanding with rolling hills & ranches here & there. then on to the waterways - a nice adventure.
    I had noticed the chain stay guard wasnt there & yeah an ez fix [my other ebikes came with those] surprise surprise a cheap ebike had those & the derailleur protector. wow
    thats an ez fix too. just bolt on and slap/wrap the other n away we go.
    that slap guard is another place to get the logo on (!) ;)
    a derailleur guard? just a nice thing to have and for a few bucks it is ez to get. :)
    that 5 star looks mighty cool. and it rides great! [thank you for showing that]
    Im holding out for the step star - Ive found that style works easier for this ole boy.

    One thing I really wish these bikes had is a hybrid cadence/torque sensor. Where on the display you could switch between the 2 types of sensors. Torque for off road riding and cadence for on road.

    • @shootthechit

    Are these 60 volt bikes using a motor specifically designed to operate on 60 volts or is it a 48 volt motor than can handle 60 volts? Hentach doesn't list any 60 volt motors on their website and the ecells original specs were 1200 watts, 120 nm torgue tested at 48 volts, then the new specs are 1500 watys, 147 nm. Same motor, just tested with a higher voltage. My concern with what I see with this is motor longevity. Motor would run all day long on 48 volts but subject to over heating on 60 volts and at the very least a much shorter life span. If I am wrong about this please explain.

    Silly question here, does the twist throttle on this bike modulate the speed like a motorcycle throttle or is it a simple on/off function? The few bikes i have ridden with thumb throttle were either on full power or off, no in between. Ive never ridden a bike with a twist throttle.

    • @shootthechit

      You can modulate the throttle, but its pretty sensitive. So its like a motorcycle, but more sensitive

I paid more but it is what it is and I am happy knowing they will take care of me/it and nothing else matters. If E-Cells prove that kinda of customer support then for sure I can see them Top ebike of '24! And even if they cant prove customer service, it seems to be proven on this video an awesome eBike! Saved $400 to improve it your self. Very excited either way! Kinda crazy how lucky we all are with all this new ebike technology coming along like it is!

    Nice job getting these last two videos out so quickly and doing it without compromising the content & video quality. Great job on the hill climbs. Question: where exactly did you plan on plugging in the charger? Have you done so in the past? I'd like to see you do a journey to a destination where you have to recharge at least a few times, maybe spanning a few days.
    Just got my Five Star yesterday, Monday, and I found most of the noncritical bolts not tight enough, kickstand, front basket, water bottle, rear rack. There is one feature that I find very useful that even Ecells does not mention, there is a usb port on the display. There is also one on the battery, but it is not useful while riding the bike, imho.

    • @shootthechit
      @shootthechit  8 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I've done it a few ways in the past. One time I found an outlet at a park I was at, and other times the easy thing to do is get something to eat and plug it in wherever you stop at.
      Those USB ports are typically super slow chargers, makes them only worth using as a last resort imo. I bring along a USB battery pack if I need to charge on the trail.

      This bike is pretty good at climbing especially since it has the 11-34 rear cassette, but if you were going to do a ton of hills, I would also step down the front chainring to something smaller like a 46 tooth. You could do Hollywood sign on either right off the showroom floor, but you just have to turn up the assist more.

    Flat out with Kevlar. I will be honest with you. I used to carry around a lot of extra stuff until I got a flat one day because I ran over a bolt that had a 3/8 inch shank.. I kept hearing this clicking noise so I pulled into a convenience store and then I saw the bolt head sticking out of my tire. Without thinking, I reached down and pulled it out. And of course, the tire went flat, even though I had flat out with Kevlar in the tube. So I pushed the bike over to the Little compressor said it a handful of quarters made sure that the hole in the tire was pointing down aired up my tire and was able to ride home. That was six months ago. I haven’t done anything else as far as fixing the flat tire lol.
