    looking forward to the range tests of the upgraded model. obviously these upgrades are in response to e-cell’s version with their rear battery, potted controller, piston brakes, etc. but good to get an idea how they compare to each other.

    The new upgraded Wired bikes are incredible and I'm tremendously impressed. I have had my 2024 Freedom for 4 months now. Customer service has been terrific. Had I known beasts like these were going to be made, I would have held out. I am hoping they offer an upgrade path (e.g a discount for current customers).

      I have to admit the one I currently have us still an amazing bike, and serves me well.

      Yeah, that would be a great addition. I sold my Aventon pace for the same reason. Torque sensor made the new one ride a lot more like my middrive ebike. I wish it went 35mph+ like this one. Only thing I don't like is the extra weight. My rack can only hold 60lbs.

    Thankyou for the breakdown of the changes made. I'm intrigued by this bike. Just looked up the price($800) for their battery. I don't see any reference to charge cycles/lifetime of their batteries. Any idea how many times/charge cycles their batteries are supposed to last for? Thanks again

    • @leetjohnson
      @leetjohnson  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would expect to get about 500 to 1000 full battery cycles before the range is reduced to about 80% of the original battery capacity. That is pretty much the standard for lithium ion batteries.

    Great video and excitement for the new upgrades. Wish I wasn't one of the people who bought the bike 2 weeks ago.. its like Nissan releasing the new 2024 Rogue and right after you purchase they fix and add game changing additions. Lol. Wired needs to considered a reimbursement option imo.

      Why do they think they are going to get away with not paying sales tax? Maybe when e cells sold 50 bikes a year, no one would notice. However when you sell 1000 bikes and are leading with “no tax” in your marketing, you are playing Russian roulette. Wired is still less expensive. Btw, the DCs are working together, may even be partners, along with Maximum Grifter.

    I think competition is good, and I understand the hype that people have regarding E cells but, given a choice, if I were to buy another one, which I plan to do, it would still be a wired freedom. The E cells has an up charge for every little accessory. It really adds up fast. Also, some people want a torque sensor, but I don’t think that’s the way to go and even bicycle shop People are more in favor of cadence. Thanks for the video. I wish Wired would reach out to me and then I would start making videos as well.

    So apparently, the Owner of e cells spent 11 years in jail for killing somebody in a DUI and was on home confinement until 2021 and did not pay his full restitution. He started e cells while on house arrest. Before jail, I think the article on the Wired Facebook group says Dave sold manufactured homes. Explains why they don’t know much about bikes and are operating like a criminal enterprise not paying taxes and defaming Wired.

Because even though we are free to say anything we want under the constitution. We are also liable for whatever we say if what we are saying is a lie and Causes damage.

    The only people who lose are those in the comments section. I'm researching both of these bikes and prefer videos like yours to anything I've read in the comments. I feel like ecells has a few paid shills out there but also the constant fighting between both owners just makes me wish there was a third vender that didn't engage in any of the toxicity. Take what you read in the comment section with a grain of salt is all I'm saying. Thanks for your review.

      The only way for Wired to offer these prices was for them to order a shitload of bikes. Steve told me this was by far their largest order ever. To put it in context, the last order was measured in the thousands. I think Wired would like to have most of the bikes in inventory available for immediate shipping in July. Hard to compete with a superior bike when you also are handicapped by a 60-75 day wait time.

    I like the Wired bike. However, Ecell's wins hands down reference all the options that are available. Another big plus is Ecell will let me have a custom color for an additional fee. I called Wired the other day and a woman answered. I inquired about a custom color change for a fee, and she said, "No." click! I'm going with Ecell.

    • @jfly2249
      @jfly2249 9 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

      About the only meaningful option is the as of yet not tested torque sensor. Btw, the constant power approach works really well, better than a torque sensor or a mph based cadence sensor imo. The dual crown upgrade is worthless as it is not a thru axle and limits the turn radius of an already less than nimble tire width. E cells offered a Gates drive, then quickly withdrew it when they realized it wouldn’t work without an expensive transmission in back. So the only option is colored wheels and a torque sensor. I’d bet the e cells torque sensor will work as well as the e cell Gates drive.
