    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:

    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.

      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
      @FeetR4Me Před 14 dny +1

      @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
      @gaboidawg Před 14 dny +1

      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 CZcams 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!

      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.

    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.

    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.

      I'd jump on getting a 2024+ Wired freedom before they need to adjust pricing to the tariffs in my personal opinion. And i have a Five-star on order thay I'm looking forward to. 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.

    Impressive climbs, but the trips there and back sure were sketchy! I tried Tannus Armour and got more flats than I did without. Seems on small fat tires like 20 inchers, the friction eats up the inner tube and I wound up with a handful of shredded rubber. 6 flats with Tannus Armour, 3 of them in one day, and I said forget it. Took them out and never looked back. It's interesting that a bike that large gets questionable at 35mph. I ride a RadMini folding bike, and it's stable at 40mph.

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.
