Today I decided to attempt climbing the steepest paved road in Los Angeles on my 40mph ECells Five Star electric bike. But in order to even give it a shot I first needed to pass through the streets of Los Angeles and climb 700 feet of elevation before reaching the base of the steepest street in LA. It's called Eldred street, and it also happens to be the 3rd steepest street in America.
The E-Cells 5 Star Ebike is a beast of a bike, but can it summit the 33% grade?
✅ 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 preparred to drop $2k today:

@gaboidawg Ай бұрын

Best of luck to you then because I ordered one and no one would ever return my message every time I called in the 2 weeks I was waiting from initial purchase wanting to upgrade so I finally talk to the office manager and she said she never got my message. I cancelled my order and customer service sucks! I immediately ordered a Wired Freedom (white) and was cheaper than Ecells Fire Star even after S&H and taxes plus it’s a better looking bike with updated computer. I guess Ecells didn’t want a disabled Veteran’s business, I’d go with Wired.

@FeetR4Me Ай бұрын

@gaboidawg When I called, I talked to Barbara to check stock. She told me the bikes I wanted were not in stock but on a truck soon to arrive. I placed my order, and 2 days later, I received a call to verify my shipping address. Three hours after that, I had my FedEx tracking number. I couldn't be more satisfied with my Ecells customer service experience.

@gaboidawg Ай бұрын

Well like I said it didn’t happen for me after 2 weeks of waiting. I’m retired Navy and they didn’t seem like they wanted to give me a disabled Veteran discount or even want my business because I asked to cancel my order after waiting 2 weeks and they wasn’t trying to convince or keep my business so it is what it is but this Owner David Cleveland is running an aggressive KZfaq influencer advertising campaign but forgetting about some of his customers especially those who served like himself. My Wired freedom is $2438 out the door which is cheaper than E-Star with dual Star package ($2,800), more powerful, better colors (white) and new, better bike computer so it worked out for the best!

The E-Cells Five Star really needs a clutched derailleur to prevent all of that chain slap. The price point one the Five Star is really good, but to make if perform like a five star bike, the first thing I would do is upgrade the drivetrain, which would include a clutched derailleur. Nice review! Thank you.

I _almost_ ordered one. Wanting to add anything to it adds another 300 bucks plus whatever you add which was a bit of a turn off for me. it was 3k by the time I priced it out and I opted for something else. Plus, waiting three months for something I already paid for bugs me. Nice bike for sure, though.

Yeah Im thinking a mid drive might be a better option for what I want (?) Im not into go fast high torque as I prefer logging roads - real trails (within reason) cant/wont expect an ebike to go on trails like motor bikes [just yet] the hill roads around here are pretty much a long climb of around 12 to 18% a little more than a mile long. :o my thinking a hub drive will overheat on that, but maybe an AWD (?) 2 - 750 to 1k watt hubs(?) Im probly dreaming they will do it. After the long climb the road networks go for miles on even to slight 6% grades. thru the trees along ridge tops with great views [yeah Ive ridden them before, but not on a quiet ebike] a 750 watt or better mid drive should do it better and not overheat as much (?) how will a 500 watt mid drive do? I see more of these type lately, for near $2k maybe add a front hub motor to help it? Id like to see these mid drive bike more on yt vids. they are not go fast machines, but they climb, which is more important for some of us.

Use bungee cords to fasten items to racks or whatever. They don't loosen up over bumps or vibrations. They always stay tight. They come in various lengths to suit the situation. I doubt any bag is meant to carry a battery. Adding foam at the bottom of the bag might prevent tearing the fabric but the weight is likely too much for the thread used to hold the bag together.

Id have gotten the 5 star as Im just super impressed with it (the stock model) 17" sounds fine to me and the cadence sensor sounds good too [the stock version :) ] Buut I prefer the step thru and would want it and more likely Id park the 5 star after I got the ST. that "gurls" version step thru has become my favorite [ Im older now ] waiting to see the ST cruiser model before I buy one.

Neither political party here in the US are going to be any less antagonistic and trade protectionust any time soon. Eventually possible the e-bike manufacturers find loopholes and ways around the current tariffs, also possible the tariffs are strengthened, it gets built into cost and we all just get used to the new reality and forget about the old one. 2250 $ (add your state tax) is a good deal on either of these bikes IMHO. In July/August it'll be 2500-2600 for either dual battery 60v bike.

@Greg-me8le Ай бұрын

Anyone know where to buy a 60V aftermarket battery? Hate to be tied in to buying them from Ecells or Wired. Also, it looks like that 2nd battery that goes in the rear rack is also proprietary on both brands of bikes. Maybe as these bikes get more market share we will see more of these 60V batteries down the road. Right now 60V batteries are a niche.

@jonasmeier417 Ай бұрын

Go to a company in the US that is specialized in building batteries. So you get best quality.

Matt did a review on the Wired freedom. It kept shutting down in him because the controller overheated. Also he had a problem with loose wires that shut down the bike. I am sure Stevie Goldman, owner of Wired e-bikes was not happy Matt showed those sections of his test. Most reviewers do not take the bikes they are testing to any high limits. Matt does.

Nice video bro! Wondering for 6' and 32" inseam if I should get 17" or 19" frame and 24" or 26" tires. I plan to do a decent amount of off-road riding. Any tips appreciated!!

@TailHappyTV Ай бұрын

I'd say 17", that's what I have, the 19" must be gigantic

@@TailHappyTVidk though at 15:29 I think you could have used the 19" seeing how much seat post you have out. Did you sit on them at the expo? What's your thoughts.

I'm about 5 foot 6 with 30 inch inseam and the 17 with 26 tires work for me. In fact I have to raise the seat to get more leg extension😅 I thought about going 24 inch but glad I didn't but hey that's just me

@psavar97 Ай бұрын

He'll probably wait a month or two until he's done his review of the newer wired bike with their improved controller. No point in taking the old version, it'll be almost as good as the current fivestar but not quite as torque y with the older style motor controller.

I agree on the same hill climb test for the 2024 Wired Freedom, and said such in a separate comment. But I doubt if our favorite California Ebike Dude will do it soon because he's selling this model for now.

It would have been interesting if you had the time to do that hill ten times in a row and see if the controller doesn't overheat. The 2024 Wired Freedom Gen I would have likely overheated on this hill.
