I ordered 2 5 Stars last week for myself and my son. Studied a lot of Information and Watched a lot of KZfaq. The First two times I called their office, the owner David Cleveland answered the phone and took the time to answer my questions. I Upgraded both bikes with 6 items. Total only came out $111 more per bike the the basic Wired Freedom. Difference, I did not pay Shipping, Insurance, and Tax. I did not choose the E-Cell 5 Stars just because they are an Exceptional Bike and Value, but because they have an Exceptional Man running the company in David Cleveland. Great Team-Great Relationship!!! Because our bikes will arrive in the Second Shipment, I expect a lot of Excitement and Interest when we hit the Hills and Streets. God’s Best, “The Sixth”

YEP! Me too. I read that 40 MPH is the sweet spot. Going 50 MPH even on a bike with pedals gets you pulled over on your fist street ride. LOL Going 30 to 40mph is a visual event that draws very little scrutiny. You know there is a USA made ($13,000) Ebike that goes almost 70 MPH? And yep, its got pedals! Go figure. The 60 MPH version is$9K. The LTD edition of 30 total costs a whopping $18K!!! Crazy. I just ordered a heavily upgraded Ecells Five Star. Over $3000!

I bought an E-cells 5 Star last week, bike arrived, packed well, rides nice. However the optional Torque Sensor has me thinking twice about my purchase. Top speed on throttle has been a hair over 28mph...I'm 6' 3" and 235lbs but I would think I'd be closer to the 37-40mph speed advertised. Back to the torque sensor, it surges power constantly and will not PAS above 18mph ... setting it to PAS3, 4 or 5 doesn't pop the 18mlh barrier. I'm still researching all of the setup parameters which are overlooked in the owners manual. I'm guessing a call to E-Cells us on my to do list for tech assist and repairs.

The only thing stopping me from ordering (and this applies to all e-bike makers) is "how long will I be able to purchase OEM replacement parts for it?" (battery, controller, hub motor, etc.). Those parts are going to wear out. I don't want to spend $2000 for an E-bike and 7 years later find that I can't order a new battery (or other OEM parts) for it.

Dear Sir, I am really interested in purchasing E-cells 5 star e-bike but I am from Arizona. Here are lots of bush plants. My last Chinese e-bike's tire was flat 3 times so I am worried about E-cells 5 Star's tire quality. Is it possible the tires will be tubeless or filled with flat-proof slime? I have already placed the orange color E-cells Five Star e-bike. Also, I would like to know about the 'payment' option. I have placed the "Buy now, pay later" option. Do I have to pay extra with this option or i can pay $1895?

Mr Raja8806 If you dont want a bunch slime sloshing around its not too late to call Ecells and add this critical upgrade: Tannus Armour Liners (Installed) (+$189.00) Are tannus liners worth it? an owner wrote: "I installed these inserts before heading to AZ for months of riding in the desert. So far no flats even though I've pulled out multiple thorns from the tires. They add weight to the bike, you may not feel as nimble or agile on the bike but I feel I have much better traction." kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fraYY8iknaurh5c.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/esyoabiT3snNloE.html

Ecell has a lot of options to customize from, but they don’t have any accessories even though the company is few years old, one of the reason I didn’t buy it. Things like batteries, helmets, rear baskets, etc. another reason is it doesn’t have any UL certification, because obviously battery safety is important to me, It’s a big problem if the battery bursts into flames.

He doesn't like if you want to custom things, despite saying you can in the advertising. If you ask too much he'll block you and say he's not in the mood of selling. 5 star customer service? That's a joke. No respect for his customers. Definitely don't buy it if are a foreigner. Great video thou
