Hey guys, sorry for the ridiculous thumbnail and title, but seems like every other e-bike channel does the same so I don't want to get left behind..
Finally got enough miles on the Wired Freedom to do a review and share my thoughts on it. If you like the White color, let Wired know and tell them you Shoot The Chit sent you! I really do think its the best color option.

Hey Chitheads, I accidentally said "rebound and compression" when describing the adjustments on the front fork. This is a terrible mistake, its actually Preload and Compression. I cannot begin to express how terrible I feel about this mistake. Please forgive me, I will do better (most likely I will not do better)

I've had my Freedom for about a month now and I love it. However, I fully agree with you about two things: A: this is a monster bike in terms of weight and size and NOT suitable for small framed individuals or elderly folks B: the front fender/light attachment is absolutely atrocious and needs to be corrected immediately. I fixed it to my satisfaction, but you shouldn't have to MacGyver a brand new bike. Otherwise, a great bike!

Gonna whole heartedly agree with you on speed discussion at about 11:15. I admit to being entertained by Surron and Talaria vids, but in shopping for a bike I never wanted more than 30-32mph top speed, and really only want that so that 25mph is “easy” for the bike. If I wanted more than that I’d have looked at motorcycles. I have an Eahora Juliet that can get to 31mph when it has a full battery, but I typically limit it to 25mph on side streets using the PAS settings. It’s pretty insane crazy to be going full on motorcycle speeds on a bicycle with bike tires and brakes.

And at 18:20 when you talk about pedal strikes, that is one of the things I noticed the most going from a completely legal 20mph class 2 bike to a cheating 25-30mph bike. You lean into turns more due to having more speed, which causes pedal strikes. I have to be very careful on my newer bikes not to wipe myself this way.

I chose the Freedom for the same reason. It's nice to know I've got speed in reserve, but I'll be at 25 mph for the most part. This bike hit all the boxes for me, especially the larger size. I'm a fairly large man, and I didn't want to look like I was on a child's bike. I'll gladly take a little bit more weight on the bike. Just ordered my blue Freedom today. Excited to try it out, and see for myself what all the great reviews have been buzzing about.

Fender: Go to auto parts store and buy some spray-on rubberized undercoating. Treat the underside of fender with several coats. This should reduce the "bell" effect when hit by rocks Pedal strikes: Shorter cranks might work to eliminate. But, seriously, Wired should have done better.

I just assembled my Freedom today!!!! Will take it out tomorrow for its "Shake Down Cruise"... I swapped out the pedals for half platform one side, clip in the other for full crank rotation and better work out, smaller pedal less pedal strike while turning. Might swap handlebars out for a lower rise and longer stem. Took off fenders, headlight and rack.. Gorilla Taped the taillight to the frame until I can figure out whether to just cut the wires or mount it to frame. Will install Talus Armor.. Interested in gearing it lower as I don't need to go 40mph, would rather gear it to climb steep grades while off roading!!! Thanks for making great content!!! No CHOT!!! You do a great job!!!!

you need more air in the shock tim. it will raise you up a little. also tighten those headlight bolts down until they feel like they are going to snap and use blue locktite and star washers. it will never move much again. thinking about your gearing situation and being a big heavy dude maybe think about shorter crank arms. that would kill two birds with one stone. pedal strikes and better granny gear. then you don't have to shorten the chain.

Cool video, and I have a soft spot for this bike. The cadence sensor kicking in slow is due to the controller programming and the number of magnets on the trigger wheel. I actually had to slow down response on mine because it would kick the motor on before my pedals took the slack out of the chain. The railroad test was awesome, and if I did that on my hardtail, I'd have the seat post where it doesn't belong!!

Hey bro, thanks for the detailed review of the Wired Freedom. Please keep the video's coming. I still insist that the wired freedom should had come with a key fob for starting and stop. It's been very cold here in New Jersey, so I've been unable to ride my Wired Freedom, I might not be able to ride until April by then we'll have 60 degrees. You should look into purchasing a ramp to move your bike up and down those stains. I bought a ramp from Amazon, it's 10 foot long.

Good review. I was seriously considering one of these bikes, but you pointed out a few deal breakers for me. Bad shifter & rear derailleur(I shift a lot), pedal strikes way too easily, delay in the pedal assist with the cadence sensor. I also don't think the battery is big enough for a high-power bike like this. That high-wattage motor will burn up the battery no doubt. I like to ride long distances.
@shootthechit

As of now there is no "perfect" bike and if you look almost all of them have this same shifter and derailer combo. Wired at the moment is king of the hill, but who knows how long that will last. It would be cool to see a bike with a 2k watt hour battery, but it would probably weigh 100lbs at that point.

That's an accident waiting to happen for me since I pedal all the time and lean into curves/turns.

Been eying this bike for a while but felt like it was a bit too expensive due to the fact that they charge almost $300 for shipping (which doesn't get revealed until checkout). Being a true believer in competition I was happy to discover yesterday that E-Cells has come out with this bike's twin brother, Five Star. Nearly identical from what I've been able to find out so far but about $300 cheaper since the aforementioned shipping is free on this one. With the demand for the Wired Freedom being what it is expect to see more direct competition in the near future.

Great video! Im also not a dork. lmao. well maybe? I wonder if they put longer crank arms on them to help leverage from the larger front chain ring? That would make pedal strikes. I am a dork on that but not enough to know if you can buy shorter ones? And if you are gearing it down it wont hurt to get shorter ones if possible. I also agree on you wanting to do that. Mine is a weird 23 version 2 model with really all the fixes fixed but without the fancy suspension. I think I have a 52 chainring?. I was really looking into finding a rear cassette with the biggest granny gear. I havent. I havent had pedal strick whether Im not driving where it would or it dont happen as much idk? I did bent my front brake rotor and instead of replacing it I thought why not just upgrade it to 203mm. It was my fault for ruining original. I love mine though! Oh also the front wheel shaking back and forth did happen to my wired. I wonder if its because the front fork slop like you showed in your video. I wired has the same as you cruiser. Love the vid! TY

I think the front fork issue on the cruiser is due to the headtube angle being too steep on that bike.. thats my theory at least. I'm pretty sure you can get shorter crank arms , just a matter of swapping them out. I found the 11-34 chainring on Amazon, I think the cruiser comes with a 11-28 stock so that will help a bit. Haven't found one bigger than a 34 though

I really would love to own one of these, I'm looking to buy another E-bike as soon as possible because I cracked the frame of my daily. The pre-order option on the Wired website has me shying away a bit. I don't mind a wait of two weeks or something like that but I would like to have a replacement as soon as possible. I won't want to buy it at a later date so it's either I go for it now or look at other brands that I could possibly buy locally. None of those brands come close to the specs of the Wired Freedom though.

Unfortunately most bikes at the level of the Wired have a wait involved. In my opinion it's the best time of the year to have a wait since the weather (at least here) hasn't been the best for riding.

@@shootthechit yea that's true although the winter hasn't stopped me. I have winter riding gear so I've still been riding almost daily but obviously haven't since the frame crack happened. I don't know, I like the bike but am ready to get back to riding. I'll see if I get a response email from them tomorrow about estimated shipping time.

The pre-order is gone. I just ordered my Freedom today, and spoke with the Owner. If you are OK with the Black, or Blue paint, they're in stock. The gorgeous metallic copper models WILL require a wait. I loved the blue, so I ordered mine, and if not tomorrow, the bike will be on its way on Monday three days from now. Best wishes on getting yours asap.

Nobody should be riding this bike at 40mph... I just got it and have only rode it a few times...Absolutely love it!!!.I have mine currently set at a maximum of 35mph only because i dont want the motor to see more than the rated wattage. After watching this video i am going to reset the maximum speed down to 30mph.....Plenty fast!!!!

If you read through the webpage you’ll see that the motor is actually limited to 750 watts from the factory to comply with class 2 classifications. You can go past that by going into off-road/unrestricted mode.

I would order this bike right this very minute, if only I could take my 5-year-old daughter on rides with me on it. I'm so conflicted about what I bike to buy, because my sole purpose for looking a buying an eBike, was because I wanted to take my daughter with me on rides everyday. Unfortunately though, the more research I've done over the last three or four months now, the more I realize that the wired freedom is the best band for my buck! There are a couple cargo bikes that I like alright, but they're nowhere near as good of a deal as I think the wired freedom is! Idk, I just get the feeling that if I don't get a wired freedom bike now, I may never get an opportunity to have one ever again. It's really there's a way I can take my daughter alone with me, but I'm just not quite sure how to go about doing so just yet!

I just bought the Freedom today. I was looking at Magicycle's Deer model, before coming across the Wired Freedom. The Deer gas a child trailer, with a cover that has a screen on it. Your daughter can ride in comfort in that thing, and they sell them separately, of course, but you likely won't get the large discount if you don't buy the bike. Still, it looks like a great way to bring a child. Since I want a utility cart behind me, I found the steel framed Gorilla carts at Home Depot, and Lowe's for less than $200, and the handle converts to be pulled or towed. I'm going that route, because my cargo isn't as precious as yours. Just something fir you to consider. Best wishes on taking your daughter out on a safe, fun ride!
