Wow, nice! I forget about everything when riding.

Maybe, cause I don’t have best setup for recording while riding. I can’t pedal at the same time! Thanks

There is a review out there, throttle only. Think it was ... 33 to 35 miles. You can double that range by pedaling and using PAS 1 and 2.

Great point about the wiring length!

Hmm, I am trying to imagine the physics of that. Would sure hate to depend on its success.

Are the crank arms the same length? My feet have dragged at times on corners.

Cranks arms are the same, but i swapped out the pedals for theses clip in SPD on one side, ride with cleats so can pull up on pedal stroke as well as push down, better workout and can power pedals through full rotation of pedal stroke. Brand was "FUNN" on Amazon for $100 can also ride or use the platform side with regular shoes... Get the smaller size, won't get p3edal strikes on corners. Also, better ground clarence if you ride off road like I do in northern California. But with this gearing can climb steep hills like crazy like I do in the East San Francisco Bay Are4a, but you hardly lose any top end, I don't need to go 40MPH, so I prefer better torque and power at higher RPMS >> Easier to pedal too when at Pedal Assist Zero when you want to get a good workout.@@BabyBoomer1959

Most fat tire ebikes have chain rings that are too small. Meaning you're geared to low. In the highest gear you're spinning your legs off at 25mph. Then the freedom comes out with a massive 56t chain ring which is to big for some people who take lots of hills. It's geared to high even when in the lowest gear. I'm thinking a 48 or 50t chain ring would be a nice compromise on the Freedom. More clearance between the ground and the smaller chain ring is a plus as well.

Wish I was 3000 miles closer!

What blenders are you using? Are you running two batteries at the same time?

Plastic front fender from a HeyBike Sola that had 2 -1/4” wide tires. I just cut the length in half, perfect fit.

Rear ones were loose. Still working on that video. Had weeks of bad weather here, ugh.

Yep, the fat tires are the weakest point for me and think 3” with 15 psi would work better.

It’s a bit of a beast!

I had a torque sensor on 500 watt bike, I prefer the cadence sensor with a known predetermined power output. I can keep cadence and exertion fairly steady throughout the ride.

@@BabyBoomer1959 at my age 76 I don’t know if I would view the extra pedaling as a plus especially since I already know how to work the cadence pretty well. I do find ghost pedaling pretty annoying though. I may get the torque sensor and keep my Kepler especially since the used market prices are way down. It seems fairly obvious that the Chinese are dumping the low end bikes as fast as they can.

Keep us posted on your experience.

It got more option less upfront spending?

@@jasonkrantz8946 Yes. Basic bike are about the same. 5 Star: Better Controller Better Rims Better Warrantee With no Shipping, Insurance, or tax charges you have about $400 to send in Up Graded Options and the total prices are about the same. Owners of Wired Do Not Seem to what to back their product for more than One Year Warrantee. Plus I see Reviews on KZfaq where the Wired Freedom Shuts Down when the Controller gets Hot. E-Cell has already Addressed and Corrected that Problem. Seems E-Cell as a company wants to have a Relationship with its Customers and Wired Management just wants to take Your Money and put out an Inferior product.

Guess it depends how steep. I go up a mile long hill no problem. Also, when you say ruts, it is definitely not a mountain bike. It handles bumps well, but ruts would need to be extreme low speed crawling in my opinion.

@@BabyBoomer1959ok thanks

I would say change the handle bars to straight mountain bike bars and you are good to go. Much better control

​​​@@DASO_MILITIA but this bike is no MTB. To big and heavy. It's more of a cruiser for the street that can also do well on dirt fire roads, lighter trails. Not built for gnarly technical stuff. So the BMX bars, being much higher, is better for a more comfortable upright riding position and suits the freedom well.

Understood regarding peak, but also note the label behind the rear shock at 750w…

@@BabyBoomer1959 this is from the official Wired website. All our our ebikes come standard with a powerful 1500w continuous (2200w peak) geared hub motor that produces 138 Nm of torque and capable of 31MPH+. So if yours says 750W there's something amiss.

I know, I know, but at the same time they are saying it is delivered as a 750w Class 2 bike. If you change configuration that may no longer be the case…

@@BabyBoomer1959 yes, it has a class 2 sticker, and it is factory "down tuned" to meet that specification. The factory fully understands, and engineered their bike to be a 2kw plus operation. The class 2 sticker is just a silly game they are playing to skip around the legality issues in some states. All that said, the various All Wheel Drive (AWD, dual motor) bikes with 2kw of total power will always outclimb the Wired freedom. For one, you have two wheels applying power, AND your total torque figure is about 30 to 40 percent higher.

Maybe next one…

Love my Freedom. Got an Ecells on order. Nothing fancy on Ecells so that I can make a direct comparison.

Prices are dropping because warehouses are packed with bikes that aren't moving , while the wired freedom is selling like hotcakes ! Wired has just recently been able to actually have some bikes in stock. My Freedom was a 3 month wait, it almost killed me! But it was worth it !

Just because it has power doesn’t mean you have to ride with all of it. I need it for the hills, otherwise I average about 18 mph just like my 500 watt bike.

Thats not true at all, I use mine everywhere, streets, bike paths, fire roads, make my own trials with it, the thing is a beautiful beast that is a blast to ride. I can go anywhere with it, heavy snow, deep puddles and mud too, no problem, very strong torque and never worry about my drivetrain or chain snapping and stranding me out there. I love that I can now finally follow the roads under the power lines and get way out to woods so easily now, best toy ever, can't wait for summer weather

I bought my freedom for three reasons. #1 Plenty of power to get up steep grades, especially if you’re heading into the wind ! #2 26 inch fat tire full suspension with BMX handlebars rides very comfortable and cushy! #3 For $2000 you get a bad ass super comfortable, powerful full suspension E-bike,with terrific Customer Support . That’s a smoking deal.!

Adults know to slow down near walkers. We have the power to speed right back up when we're past you.

Thanks, I find that the bungies keep everything tight. No damage to contents so far…

Let’s say I worked hard, hardly rich…

Believe me, it takes about 40 years of alarm clocks, schools, part time jobs, then finally full time jobs, more alarm clocks, years on end, and then you get there. Amazing when I think back. You got to do the grind if you want some money in your pocket.

Some real sense there!!

Wired Freedom just got a monster upgrade. A second battery, a 45 Amp controller that's potted, a 304 mm 4 piston brake setup, upgraded front forks, and a 3,000 watt motor. A longer warranty, and UL rating on the bike as well. All for the same price as before: $1,999 +shipping and tax. You can pick up up to save shopping if you're close enough.

@@davidgraham2673 Mr. Graham, I guess you missed The News. Hantach Motors will Not Warrantee their Motors to a manufacturer that uses above 40 amp Controllers. Wired bikes that use a 45 amp Controller will Not have there Hentach Motors Warranted by Hentach. WOW!!! I would call Wired offices to verify this Fact!!!!

@@davidgraham2673 I would also ask the Wired owner if he warrantees his bikes if customer change the configuration of the bike to go more than 20 MPH. His Company Policy Statement of Wired’s web site states they will Not.

Had to think about this one…

@@BabyBoomer1959 Gulch even had the rear rack and a basket.

I have seen a few.

I'm starting to see them more and more, keep in mind they are new
