lol, do you have one? I don’t

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.

Real head turner!

It's sad that a person usually has no color choices. Both my ebikes are black, the only color from the company. How about yellow, red, green, anything but blue. Why can't you get street tires if you don't like knobbies, or better quality tires? Very strange.

May be a little big for storage. If you need a suspension and you don’t want to worry about range, I think good fit. Components are quality for the price.

@@BabyBoomer1959 One KZfaqr shows this Wired Freedom e-bike can reach up to 59 mph speed. Is it true?

without upgradation

@@raja8806 Dropped from a cliff perhaps. If you tune it, it can achieve 40 on flat surface. A short burst to 40 to get away from traffic may occasionally be needed, but for me, I have it top out at 33 for those situations. I focus on hill climb power and only speed to stay away from traffic.

@@raja8806 no need to upgrade other than a handle bar mirror

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.

Power over Speed!

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

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.

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I know, the setting on the camera had to be switched to aux mic. Didn’t know that. The cam itself was recording with a ton of wind. Awful!

lol, did you??

Although my first Ebike was a mistake. I have no regrets about the Freedom.

Get the five star from e cells. They don’t charge shipping or tax. You can totally customize your bike too. Much better value and same specs

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

What suspension linkage defects?

On the 2024 models?

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

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

​​​@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.

Great point about the wiring length!

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.

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

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.

This stainless steel mirror is plenty tough and has the right joint angles to fold away when hit.

@@BabyBoomer1959 Thank you

It’s a bit of a beast!

Wish I was 3000 miles closer!

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

Not compared to my last bike, but I will measure and compare to published specs.

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.

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!!

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.

Once a year seems a bit much and yes I will be very disappointed at that turnover rate. It is also a concern though right?

If it is your main ride, then you would have to set aside money to replace it for sure.@@BabyBoomer1959

Replaced once a year? Why? I've had ebikes worse than this still going strong with original battery

@@user-MetalAngel yeah, why every year, please explain 😢

@@jameslund221 I'm referring to my experience with my Aventon Level 3 eBike, of which I rode exclusively. So, if you're a casual rider, than of course the battery will last longer. But that should be stipulated.

Maybe next one…

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

Really 😂

I have seen a few.

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

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

Is the e-cell UL rated?

@PumpkinKingXXIII • I think they're working on it, it's the same kind of battery. But it would make for a good comparison video. 🤔 I might get it with the torque sensor.

I have the wired, but I would absolutely buy the E cell if I hadn’t already bought this one

@@J.D.Vision Be careful with a torque sensor with that much power, I am thinking it may put out more power than needed especially in a turn.

E-CELLS will be UL CERTIFIED in the next 90days but here is the kicker. WIRED doesn't have there UL CERTIFICATE they applied for it but don't have it. There website is a lie. It's been proven and I have called an reached out to them to ask for a copy of it and they won't give me one because they say they don't have them printed out yet. Lol. They won't even email me a copy. And you know why??? BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE IT LMFAO. ITS A LIE THEY GOT COUGHT IN. E-CELLS WILL GV ANYONE 5K TO PROVE THAT WIRED HAS IT.

Wow, nice! I forget about everything when riding.

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 !
