Speed test and settings of Wired Ebikes Cruiser. The bike is awesome! I don’t get paid or commission from the company, this is my personal experience of owning it.
Great video , very informative. Just ordered black cruiser today over the phone. Someone answered right away , answered all my questions & processed my purchase. Exceptional customer service. Super friendly and even told me about an unadvertised deal she could offer me. She said they had some last year models ( 2023) available in the color I wanted, which was currently unavailable, and she could offer me a $500 discount!! 😎👍 I took her up on the deal
Great 👍 enjoy, it is a great bike but i have a feeling more bans on ebikes are coming if not outright legislation from different state depending where you live. Especially city by city. Good luck on the bike. Please take care
Thank you so much for this video. My NEW Wicked/Wired bike arrived this weekend! You are the reason for my decision. I am missing a couple of screws (for light and mud guard) but hopefully they will send replacements. Thank you again!!!
Indeed, right now I have an Aventon aventure , I was thinking about getting a Kepler until I came across this Ebike they only have the step through version of this bike at this moment so that’s the one I ordered
You did a great job of comparing the Kepler. I was hesitant, but your review convinced me. I just bought one. Thank you and look forward to more videos. I sure hope I can fine a second battery cheaper than Wicked sells them. $800 is crazy too much. I don't want a permanent 2nd battery, but one that will snap in like original.
Thanks sir, look at Aliexpress or alibaba straight from china for battery. It uses Reention Dorado style, 15, 20, 25 ah will fit. My commute doesn’t require 2nd battery right away but for 30 mph and above ride you will need 2 nd battery setup for sure. If you go 17-24 mph, the original one is fine for roundtrip, not much aggressive riding.
I still can't believe you bought a Wicked when having a Kepler. They seem so close to the same specs. I would have definitely ordered the Kepler if you hadn't own one previously and recommended the Wicked. This is my 6th ebike and now have to hide it from my girlfriend. She is going to kill me when she discovers it. My 48v, 1000w, one just arrived a month ago, but was so dissatisfied with hill climbing, I ordered the Wicked. Thank you for quick responses.
@@taknmyshot i love both bikes Kepler and Wicked Cruiser, i think they are the best $2k and under ebikes you can buy, they do everything i want and still look and ride legally without worried. I hardly drive cars anymore and don’t miss it at all for all car traffic 🤗 These ebikes are so easy to do maintenance and a ton cheaper than cars. They do 85-90% of what cars do.
Cool video.. I know there have been some upgrades.. I like how there is different power settings.. I will take power over speed.. I live in Denver and I have the rocky mountains here and I want something that can go up them.. I do also watch videos of bikes going in the sand in Santa Monica and if they can handle going in the sand they probably can handle the mountains..
Awsome brother, you have the wicked bike now. I almost bought one. But going with stealth bomber for commuting needed more power and range. My blaze(are kepler) with 40ah only get 32-50 miles per charged. At 25mph average.38mph throttle only is great.
Just got done with agreement and finally got what wanted. $3300 to my door. Stealth bomber clone 12000w qs273 2.5t 72v45amp lg battery, 150amp sav controller, 84v10amp charger., horn,alarm,GPS, headlight h/l beams, rear brake with turn signals, regen braking. 3 mode switch, pas levels, ukc1 color display 21" motorcycle tires, motorcycle seat, top speed 120-140kph, max range 130km. I seen youtube video guy my size 6 -2:250ish do 66mph not at full throttle. Can't a wait to make videos like with kepler. Stay safe brother.
Excellent review. Does increasing C5 to level 10 (overvolting) cause any overheating? I haven't noticed any but it's really cold where I've been riding.
That is the throttle power, there is no issue so far, the controller runs like champ. Be careful you can lift the front wheel up with full twist, i have a couple times doing that. I like the settings in this video and have no change since making this video.
Seems like a great bike and I enjoy your videos! Could you tell me what the battery voltage is when fully charged? Trying to determine how many cells they have in series.
67.2, but mine get up to 67 when fully charged. @57 or 58 about 50% that i normally recharge. Never drop to 40 or below. Thanks for watching and commenting
Very good video thank you. Do you know if we can change how many pedal assist levels you have on this bike? And also can you change the amount of power in each pedal assist setting to your liking? Thank you
I like 5 pas, all my ebikes use 5 pas, and i like the way it comes and has not changed any of that, i think you have to read the manual and go from there or search KT lcd8H settings. I stopped at where i like my bike to be, i believed there are more advanced setting to change but i did not go that far. I like my current settings and want to leave it that way. Thank you again for watching and interest. Best regards🙏
Thanks for watching, unfortunately, there are no such steep hills here in central florida, especially Orlando, our focus is more on riding safely and effectively under rainstorm and monsoon winds. I can tell you that both bikes can ride in rain medium rain provided you put on some plastic covers around throttle , brake area. You have to ask some folks who live in Pittsburg or San Francisco, there hills everywhere there. Thank you for watching.
Anyone worried about going too fast should not purchase this bike or the Kepler. The experienced riders know how to feather the speed when riding slow is necessary.
Very cool bike! What camera do you use while riding and it looks like you are using chest mount. Is it? I am experimenting with a top bar mount but the handlebars bounce a little which is enough to look bad after a few minutes.
I use iPhone 14 pro at the beginning and GoPro Hero10 for the ride, yes it is chest mounted. I couldn’t use handle bar mount at all, when riding off road, it vibrates out of control and pictures sucks. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed ☺️
I ride small hill on my daily commute, Wired beats Kepler slightly due to its larger motor and 60 v. I won’t buy another Kepler, it was great last year but now so many newer and stronger and better ebikes coming out, starting with Wired. I still ride Kepler to work and all but alternately with other ebikes. Wired is the best for $2 k and under.
Can you do a comparison between the Kepler and this wicked freedom? Would like to see a kepler vs freedom video to see the actual difference between the bikes. The differences seem to be slight. Maybe a vs video will show just how much they differ or how much they don't.

I can't make a decision whether to get the freedom or crusier. I'm 5'8 210 lbs. I can't decide if I need the suspension or slide through... does no suspension matter? I'm new to EBikes.
What is your inseam? If it is 30 or less get step through, if your inseam 32 or longer either one is fine. People shorter than 6’ will have somewhat degree of difficulty getting on and off at stop light or complete stop, that is extremely important. But step through has more versatility than high step. Hope this help and good luck . Great bike many more years in use, add 2 nd battery and you will ride all day!
It sold as class 2 top 20 mph, and pas1 is about 11 mph, once you unlock it goes 22mph on pas 1 and 38mph full throttle or pas 5. Yes you can adjust your pas power inside KT lcd8h setting to your liking, but that is personal preference you have to do it yourself. I don’t experiment that far. I got the settings I want and I am set. My current setting is the one on this video. No change. Thanks for watching.
My fiance and I each have a Ariel Rider Kepler. The Kepler is great but the range isn't very good when you have to maintain at least 30mph. Ariel Rider doesn't have any extra batteries, they can't even get me touch up paint. We don't feel confident trying to jerry rig batteries to the controller. Fiance has the "step thru" mid low step but I think she would've preferred a real step through like the Wicked. It doesn't look very thick and supported like other step thrus, like The Aventon. Does it seem as sturdy as the Kepler? It would suck to have the frame crack/break.
I have ridden the Cruiser 1 month now, it is solid weld ( thick short bar at above bottom bracket) may be a 800 lbs Gorilla can snap that but no way a human especially a woman. It is cruiser not a downhill mountain bike! No problem at all on streets or trails. As for Kepler you have to add 2nd battery to the setup in order to maintain 30 mph and have good range, every ebike that travel 30 mph and above will need 2 nd or 3rd battery setup to keep up with that speed and have range. You can not do any ebike with range @30 mph with battery less than 35 or 40 ah)
@@MrMtr999 That should be true but Fiido, Heybike and some others in the under $2000 range that look like Rad Runners are having their frames crack or break in half just from basic every day commuting. We were looking at the Fiido T1 for her, glad we didn't get it. Our city doesn't have bike lanes, you have to share the right lane with cars and adult riders can't ride on the sidewalk so for safety me maintain at least 30 mph or cars get overly aggressive trying to pass you. If I could get more batteries I would but I don't feel confident trying to wire into the controller to make them work. People are paying 10k just to get that kind of range built into their bikes.
@@kfox5301 you are right to be worried but from my weekly commute, this frame is strong enough. Nope you don’t spend $10k to get the range, watch my video on Kepler 40 ah setup, very easy to do. I have that setup since July last year, it works perfect. You can do it. Unless you are non mechanically inclined at all then it will be difficult on any ebike not just Kepler. It is easy guy. Ton of people have done it add 2nd battery. Good luck all the best. Thanks for commenting and watching 👍
Hi Mr Mtr. I hope you're well. Thank you for your video reviews; your reviews have been very helpful and informative. I am exploring getting a third (and final) e-bike; it was a toss between the Ariel Rider Kepler and the Wicked Freedom; I am heavily leaning on the Freedom. Couple of questions regarding the Wicked bike: 1) Is the rear brake, the right handle or left? 2) Is the throttle power on demand, with no pedaling, is this limited based on the PAS level (i.e. at PAS 0 throttle power is 0 mph, PAS 1 throttle power is 15 mph etc.). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge; best regards, Kevin
@Kevin Mah to answer your questions 1. Rear brake is on the right lever 2. Throttle is independent of the pas system, any time you twist it takes off according to power that you set inside the setting, c5 I believe. Pas 1 is topping 22 mph Either bike is great, but if I buy an ebike I would get Wicked both models. If you have more questions on Wicked, give them a call, I heard the owner is inclined to help you more than any other company. I never call them cause I don’t have issues. Kepler is great too but it does not have support like Wicked and you rely more on social media to teach you. To be honest , all e-bikes require you to be DIY person, especially changing tire and tube on the rear wheel, sooner or later you will have the problem like everybody else . Good luck and thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Thx@@MrMtr999 for this; good to know on both questions. re: the throttle is controlled by the PAS level. I have an Cyrusher XF800, the controller is an KT-LCD3, I did a comparison on the P and C configuration settings, and I believe the config sets are equivalent to the Wicked's KT-LCD8H, the only difference between these I believe is the LCD3 is black/white, the LCD8H is color. The Cyrusher's throttle speed limit was also controlled at the PAS level. C4 - Throttle Function Setting, defaults on the Cyrusher/Wicked are recommended for 0, 0 has the controller having the throttle speed based on the PAS which I believe both Cyrusher/Wicked has C4 set for 0 due to safety. On the Cyrusher, I changed C4 setting to 3, tested this and the XF800 now throttles at full speed on demand no matter the PAS level (e.g. at PAS 0 on throttle power only, the XF800 accelerated to full speed to over 32+ mph). I suspect changing C4 to 3 will also work on the Wicked bikes' LCD8H. For more information, ref: www.manualslib.com/manual/1343368/Electric-Bike-Outfitters-Kt-Lcd3.html?page=23&fbclid=IwAR182oaVgl2BCpaXrc4rFHrYtuUL-walzlEQL4-kqSy2CBT6sUEMJoaedb8#manual
@@MahKe03 my c4 is 0 but i might try 3 like you said i might or may be? I like my settings in this video and never changed. Get the bike and try it to see if you like, they have 30 or so days to return. Have fun and enjoy. Thanks man. BTW why did you buy Cyrusher??? Man Kepler or Wicked eat them alive you know what i meant (48v13ah for $2200)??
Ha ha. Thx. I will be purchasing the Wicked Freedom soon as I suspect Wicked will be raising their prices on their bikes later this year. I am liking the Cyrusher XF800, it's a 750W that peaks at 1500W; it's pretty quick with full suspension and fortunately I got the Cyrusher at $1,800. My other bike is the Splach Patriot Pro, 1500W with48V 20ah.. Like you, I like having several bikes to choose from to enjoy riding on a given day. All the best to you man.
@@MahKe03 Wicked will blow those legal 48v 750w apart, it is very different kind of bike, no match on 60v 20ah system. My next video will be dual battery setup on Wicked cruiser, 40 ah 60v setup. Take care!
Kepler has excellent rear rack to put your large bag on but it won’t ship same week like Wicked. Also both bikes will need 2nd or 3 rd battery to cover your range if you want to ride 40 miles or more all day which you will to make money. It will cost more than $2k for sure with either bike. Also these bikes they don’t stock parts fir repair or replacement right away you have to contact them and wait who know how long, especially Kepler. Are you in nyc? You might want to see Arrow10 or Fly11 delivery bike, those are the best bikes for delivery and have parts to repairs! But they don’t do shipping only nyc area from their shops. Fly 11 might do shipping to other states but with expensive shipping fees. Hope this help.
@@MrMtr999 yes I'm in NYC. Im willing to buy second battery for the wicked cause I'm kinda locked in on it but I will check out the bikes you recommend . Thank for help
@@hsb-sbz8205 check out Fly e-bikes stores, they are all over Brooklyn, Jamaica section, Bronx, even Manhattan, if you live in NYC and don’t know them you must be new there. Every ebike delivery dasher know Arrow or Fly e-bikes ! It is the most popular and most stolen e-bikes in NYC. I would definitely get one had their shipping cost not been like $650 to me!
Watch the 40 ah battery video on Wired , that is my current and final setting. I don’t remember what is c2 for, please check manual. Thanks for watching
@@konsertv44 i unfortunately work a lot and really don’t have time for appointment besides workload. You can watch many youtube videos on this bike now, plenty to decide. I got hands full for other things and work, appointments on work are already full. Thanks for commenting and watching
On the website it claims that this bike gets anywhere from 35 to 80 miles of range. What is The furthest distance you have went with the wicked bike and do you think it’s possible to get 80 miles on a single battery? I did see a CZcams video where the person doing the video on distance with the wicked freedom bike, and I believe he got 36 miles but he was using full throttle and pedal assist. Or if anyone else that has one of these bikes feel free to comment also.
I would say 60 -80 miles give or take riding on pas1 occasional throttle. Pas1 can top out 22 mph with gear 7 or 6 pedaling. That is very fast and great speed for pas 1
I like mid 30 mph, no need to compete with cars, my daily speed average 22-26 mph with some bursts to mid 30 mph. Sweet spot no need further. Thanks fir watching and commenting👍
How much does the set up cost to turn this into a dual battery E bike? What will i need? I was gonna get the Kepler or the Wallkie H6 dual battery 48v (2,020$), But this Wicked bike beats them all. Im probably ordering this instead of my 35 Ah dual battery 1,400 watt output motor folding bike. That bike goes 31 mph throttle only, This bike goes 38 mph on throttle only. Insane.
Walkie H6 costs $2500?? For 48v 750 w? Not me bro. Wow.. You need at least $500-550 ish to do 40 ah 60v on the Wicked. That is my next or following videos. If you ride aggressively like 30 mph or more consistently you need at least 2 battery setup for sure. If you ride in the 20-25 mph mostly single battery that comes with it is okay, it has good range . I will put videos up when i get it done within weeks or months. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MrMtr999 H6 is now 2,020$. I am mostly concerned about battery life cause i need to cover about 35 to 40 miles to work and back each day. H6 is slower at 80 nm torque but the back rack has a 130 lb payload and it still reaches the speeds we usually travel. Up to 35 mph with pedalling full speed. Damn it i really like the 20 inch tires and the green color and frame with the back seat. Now you showed me this motorcycle of an e bike for 2,000$. I have to get it.
But man seeing the power on the wicked bike now i feel like i have to get it and i will have to ride at 25 mph to work and back until i get the second battery later on.
@@CONSCIOUS_TALK_ENT. $2020 ? That is a somewhat good price for 2 batteries but you are not going to go over 30-31 mph with a 48v system without pedaling like tour de france contest. You will need 2 battery setup for sure with 40 miles commute that goes above 30 mph. With Wicked it will cost more than $2020 for sure by the time you done setup. But if you can accept pas1 about 22 mph top speed pedaling with Wicked, you don’t need 2nd battery, single battery will go about 60 miles and more with just pas1 @22 mph pedaling and little throttle. Also Wicked is still an Ebike it is not an E Motorcycle yet., it is not as fast as Onyx or Sur Ron or the likes, etc. The Wicked weight is 78 lbs that is still ebike but if you want to go above 30 mph full throttle only no pedaling, you need to get Onyx or others and look into registration and moped/motorcycle laws that apply cause you won’t be able to ride those on sidewalks or trails without getting spotted. And the cost of big battery for those bikes are astronomical, it is very different territory. Hope this help. Good Luck 👍
Get something else? A lot of great bikes in the market if you are not picky, they are about the same if you don’t go over 28 mph your usual ir daily ride
I think people took a chance getting the Kepler and not really knowing the long term durability .. Luckily the Kepler turned out for me to be a great purchase. Ariel Rider has been around a bit.. This company in not sure yet what you can expect from them. A bit unknown still. Not sure the extra 3-5 mph is worth the chance. It seems ok though. We can see what they come up with and how people are liking the first few batches.. Maybe they can make some changes here and there and still keep a lower price and the same power. 👍
You are missing the boat bud, I can say this, if i want to buy a new ebike right now i would get Wicked. It is a better bike. Unless AR or other brands come out with similar or better specs and better service and delivery and price which is very difficult. Wicked is a better bike for $2k and less.
@@MrMtr999 I will probably buy a 250cc dual sport bike for $2,000 delivered. Some assembly required. 😂 A few nice 250 on and off road type bikes out there for $2,000 . Just need to go register and plate it.
@@kevinnashskitchen3517 okay then, not me bro, i like to bike everywhere on and off road, sidewalks, river trail, beach front, lakeside, etc all nice and stealthy. Gas bike is a bygone era for me… Ebikes, PEV are the thing forward. Good luck on your next purchase. Life is great, we all enjoy 😉
@@MrMtr999 Kind of hard to just say it's "better" when it's still very new and you have no idea how well it holds up, or what their customer service is like if something goes wrong. Just my two cents.
I forgot what C3 is for, i might be when you turn back on pas stay at 1 either that or C4 , have to look up manual again. You can experiment, don’t you? But i quit adjusting the settings since this video, i love what is so i don’t touch anything. I hope you like your bike, don’t you? I freaking love this over Kepler :). But i still ride Kepler weekly still aeesome
@@MrMtr999 I haven't had a chance to ride it yet I just got it yesterday. It's been raining here, plus working. I have a Kepler also. So I am anticipating my first ride. With the Freedom Bike.

@@ericechipman1183 awesome, post some video on Freedom and how you feel and think, please send me link if you have upcoming video. I would like to know how you like Freedom compared to Kepler.
@MrMtr999 OK, my next question is for the PAS Lewis. I have 9 levels of PAS with a 7 gear shifter. Are there 2 modes of PAS or 3 modes of PAS based on what you're setting ( ECO, Sport, & Turbo )
@@calvintanner7897 if you mean this Wicked? It has 5 pas that is all 1 is slowest to 5 the fastest. You have to ride it to get the feel and adjust your preference in setting how fast you wanna go. Only 5 pas for this bike
@@orvillecooper8334 may be he just wrote but really don’t have? I know Rad seems to have that tire but not sure as i m not interested. I like 26x4 a lot.
So why is it that this company does not respond to any emails, there are almost no reviews anywhere outside of your videos, and now they've changed their name over night? Feels real shady to me.
Don’t buy it, walk away. I put up videos on what i owned or purchased. Please look for other ebikes. It is your money please take care. Thanks for watching :)
I’ve messaged them several times over the chat on their website with questions I’ve had and they’ve always answered within a few minutes. I plan on buying the Freedom in the next few weeks.
I bought a motorcycle a few years ago. Sitting through a traffic light that takes 3 turns to get through, while wearing a leather jacket, riding boots, full face helmet, in the summer sucks. The bike lane is no traffic. Best of both worlds, in certain scenarios.
Great video , very informative.

I can tell you that both bikes can ride in rain medium rain provided you put on some plastic covers around throttle , brake area. You have to ask some folks who live in Pittsburg or San Francisco, there hills everywhere there. Thank you for watching.

Anyone worried about going too fast should not purchase this bike or the Kepler. The experienced riders know how to feather the speed when riding slow is necessary.
Very cool bike! What camera do you use while riding and it looks like you are using chest mount. Is it? I am experimenting with a top bar mount but the handlebars bounce a little which is enough to look bad after a few minutes.
I use iPhone 14 pro at the beginning and GoPro Hero10 for the ride, yes it is chest mounted. I couldn’t use handle bar mount at all, when riding off road, it vibrates out of control and pictures sucks. Thank you for watching, I hope you enjoyed ☺️
@@MrMtr999 thank you for your reply.
@@bigonebikes you are very welcome sir
Have you done a hill climb test between the Kepler and cruiser?
I ride small hill on my daily commute, Wired beats Kepler slightly due to its larger motor and 60 v. I won’t buy another Kepler, it was great last year but now so many newer and stronger and better ebikes coming out, starting with Wired. I still ride Kepler to work and all but alternately with other ebikes. Wired is the best for $2 k and under.
Can you do a comparison between the Kepler and this wicked freedom? Would like to see a kepler vs freedom video to see the actual difference between the bikes. The differences seem to be slight. Maybe a vs video will show just how much they differ or how much they don't.
I don’t have Freedom, i have Cruiser and Kepler. I might do Kepler and Cruiser comparison.
How long did it take you to get it once you ordered it? Oh yeah great video thank you very much.
I ordered Monday and the bike showed up on Thursday! Fastest of the fast but with shipping fee not free, please keep in mind they don’t ship free
What seat post and seat cushion did you use? Thanks

You can get cloud9 or other seatpost that has suspension, it is better off than Freedom suspensión, many people have it rubbed against controller box. Cruiser is better bike design and very well balanced. Thanks for watching!
I can't make a decision whether to get the freedom or crusier. I'm 5'8 210 lbs. I can't decide if I need the suspension or slide through... does no suspension matter? I'm new to EBikes.
What is your inseam? If it is 30 or less get step through, if your inseam 32 or longer either one is fine. People shorter than 6’ will have somewhat degree of difficulty getting on and off at stop light or complete stop, that is extremely important. But step through has more versatility than high step. Hope this help and good luck . Great bike many more years in use, add 2 nd battery and you will ride all day!
Howy shitt! Firty eight! 🤣😂 The Wired bike is truly Wicked. Looks like a LOT of fun!
How does it feel to pedal this bike? The company told me that it can be pedaled up to 25-30mph with no ghost pedaling? Is this true?
Yes it is true you can pedal up to said speed without ghost pedaling.
Is this bike a cadence or torque sensor set up?
Cadence
Awesome bike! How long did it take for it to ship to you?
Ordered Monday, bike showed up on Thursday via UPS
Thank you! I'm sold!
@@dddatoneguy it is a great bike, you will like it, but make sure to unlock and adjust setting for full speed! And potential
Can you change how much power each PAS level get? Kepler is default to PAS 1 = 50% max set speed which is still way too fast.
It sold as class 2 top 20 mph, and pas1 is about 11 mph, once you unlock it goes 22mph on pas 1 and 38mph full throttle or pas 5. Yes you can adjust your pas power inside KT lcd8h setting to your liking, but that is personal preference you have to do it yourself. I don’t experiment that far. I got the settings I want and I am set. My current setting is the one on this video. No change. Thanks for watching.
My fiance and I each have a Ariel Rider Kepler. The Kepler is great but the range isn't very good when you have to maintain at least 30mph. Ariel Rider doesn't have any extra batteries, they can't even get me touch up paint. We don't feel confident trying to jerry rig batteries to the controller. Fiance has the "step thru" mid low step but I think she would've preferred a real step through like the Wicked. It doesn't look very thick and supported like other step thrus, like The Aventon. Does it seem as sturdy as the Kepler? It would suck to have the frame crack/break.
I have ridden the Cruiser 1 month now, it is solid weld ( thick short bar at above bottom bracket) may be a 800 lbs Gorilla can snap that but no way a human especially a woman. It is cruiser not a downhill mountain bike! No problem at all on streets or trails. As for Kepler you have to add 2nd battery to the setup in order to maintain 30 mph and have good range, every ebike that travel 30 mph and above will need 2 nd or 3rd battery setup to keep up with that speed and have range. You can not do any ebike with range @30 mph with battery less than 35 or 40 ah)
@@MrMtr999 That should be true but Fiido, Heybike and some others in the under $2000 range that look like Rad Runners are having their frames crack or break in half just from basic every day commuting. We were looking at the Fiido T1 for her, glad we didn't get it. Our city doesn't have bike lanes, you have to share the right lane with cars and adult riders can't ride on the sidewalk so for safety me maintain at least 30 mph or cars get overly aggressive trying to pass you. If I could get more batteries I would but I don't feel confident trying to wire into the controller to make them work. People are paying 10k just to get that kind of range built into their bikes.
@@kfox5301 you are right to be worried but from my weekly commute, this frame is strong enough. Nope you don’t spend $10k to get the range, watch my video on Kepler 40 ah setup, very easy to do. I have that setup since July last year, it works perfect. You can do it. Unless you are non mechanically inclined at all then it will be difficult on any ebike not just Kepler. It is easy guy. Ton of people have done it add 2nd battery. Good luck all the best. Thanks for commenting and watching 👍
Hi Mr Mtr. I hope you're well. Thank you for your video reviews; your reviews have been very helpful and informative. I am exploring getting a third (and final) e-bike; it was a toss between the Ariel Rider Kepler and the Wicked Freedom; I am heavily leaning on the Freedom. Couple of questions regarding the Wicked bike: 1) Is the rear brake, the right handle or left? 2) Is the throttle power on demand, with no pedaling, is this limited based on the PAS level (i.e. at PAS 0 throttle power is 0 mph, PAS 1 throttle power is 15 mph etc.). Thanks again for sharing your knowledge; best regards, Kevin
@Kevin Mah to answer your questions
1. Rear brake is on the right lever
2. Throttle is independent of the pas system, any time you twist it takes off according to power that you set inside the setting, c5 I believe. Pas 1 is topping 22 mph
Either bike is great, but if I buy an ebike I would get Wicked both models. If you have more questions on Wicked, give them a call, I heard the owner is inclined to help you more than any other company. I never call them cause I don’t have issues. Kepler is great too but it does not have support like Wicked and you rely more on social media to teach you. To be honest , all e-bikes require you to be DIY person, especially changing tire and tube on the rear wheel, sooner or later you will have the problem like everybody else . Good luck and thank you for watching and commenting 😊
Thx@@MrMtr999 for this; good to know on both questions. re: the throttle is controlled by the PAS level. I have an Cyrusher XF800, the controller is an KT-LCD3, I did a comparison on the P and C configuration settings, and I believe the config sets are equivalent to the Wicked's KT-LCD8H, the only difference between these I believe is the LCD3 is black/white, the LCD8H is color. The Cyrusher's throttle speed limit was also controlled at the PAS level. C4 - Throttle Function Setting, defaults on the Cyrusher/Wicked are recommended for 0, 0 has the controller having the throttle speed based on the PAS which I believe both Cyrusher/Wicked has C4 set for 0 due to safety. On the Cyrusher, I changed C4 setting to 3, tested this and the XF800 now throttles at full speed on demand no matter the PAS level (e.g. at PAS 0 on throttle power only, the XF800 accelerated to full speed to over 32+ mph). I suspect changing C4 to 3 will also work on the Wicked bikes' LCD8H.

@@MahKe03 my c4 is 0 but i might try 3 like you said i might or may be? I like my settings in this video and never changed. Get the bike and try it to see if you like, they have 30 or so days to return. Have fun and enjoy. Thanks man. BTW why did you buy Cyrusher??? Man Kepler or Wicked eat them alive you know what i meant (48v13ah for $2200)??
Ha ha. Thx. I will be purchasing the Wicked Freedom soon as I suspect Wicked will be raising their prices on their bikes later this year. I am liking the Cyrusher XF800, it's a 750W that peaks at 1500W; it's pretty quick with full suspension and fortunately I got the Cyrusher at $1,800. My other bike is the Splach Patriot Pro, 1500W with48V 20ah.. Like you, I like having several bikes to choose from to enjoy riding on a given day. All the best to you man.
@@MahKe03 Wicked will blow those legal 48v 750w apart, it is very different kind of bike, no match on 60v 20ah system. My next video will be dual battery setup on Wicked cruiser, 40 ah 60v setup. Take care!
What kind of distance you get with throttle only ????????
I would say 30 miles or more for a single battery. But with pas1 definitely will go 60 miles @ 17-20 mph
In a budget but Im willing to buy kelper or wicked which one you recommend for deliveries- doordash
Kepler has excellent rear rack to put your large bag on but it won’t ship same week like Wicked. Also both bikes will need 2nd or 3 rd battery to cover your range if you want to ride 40 miles or more all day which you will to make money. It will cost more than $2k for sure with either bike. Also these bikes they don’t stock parts fir repair or replacement right away you have to contact them and wait who know how long, especially Kepler. Are you in nyc? You might want to see Arrow10 or Fly11 delivery bike, those are the best bikes for delivery and have parts to repairs! But they don’t do shipping only nyc area from their shops. Fly 11 might do shipping to other states but with expensive shipping fees. Hope this help.
@@MrMtr999 yes I'm in NYC. Im willing to buy second battery for the wicked cause I'm kinda locked in on it but I will check out the bikes you recommend . Thank for help
@@hsb-sbz8205 check out Fly e-bikes stores, they are all over Brooklyn, Jamaica section, Bronx, even Manhattan, if you live in NYC and don’t know them you must be new there.

@@konsertv44 i unfortunately work a lot and really don’t have time for appointment besides workload. You can watch many youtube videos on this bike now, plenty to decide. I got hands full for other things and work, appointments on work are already full. Thanks for commenting and watching
On the website it claims that this bike gets anywhere from 35 to 80 miles of range. What is The furthest distance you have went with the wicked bike and do you think it’s possible to get 80 miles on a single battery? I did see a CZcams video where the person doing the video on distance with the wicked freedom bike, and I believe he got 36 miles but he was using full throttle and pedal assist. Or if anyone else that has one of these bikes feel free to comment also.
I would say 60 -80 miles give or take riding on pas1 occasional throttle. Pas1 can top out 22 mph with gear 7 or 6 pedaling. That is very fast and great speed for pas 1
@@MrMtr999 Thanks. What is the furthest you have went on your Kepler and your wicked Ebike in one trip?
@@rickserylo4339 i use them to commute to work and run errands, but the main is to work. I don’t ride crazy or hard off road.

So this bike is better than the aventure 2?
I can not give answer on that cause i never own Adventurer 2. But from the specs they put out, i think i pass. Good luck and thanks for watching!
Need to change rear freewheel to 11-34t and front chainring to 60t. Pedal all the way to 50mphish.
I like mid 30 mph, no need to compete with cars, my daily speed average 22-26 mph with some bursts to mid 30 mph. Sweet spot no need further. Thanks fir watching and commenting👍
How much does the set up cost to turn this into a dual battery E bike? What will i need? I was gonna get the Kepler or the Wallkie H6 dual battery 48v (2,020$), But this Wicked bike beats them all. Im probably ordering this instead of my 35 Ah dual battery 1,400 watt output motor folding bike. That bike goes 31 mph throttle only, This bike goes 38 mph on throttle only. Insane.
Walkie H6 costs $2500?? For 48v 750 w? Not me bro. Wow..
You need at least $500-550 ish to do 40 ah 60v on the Wicked. That is my next or following videos. If you ride aggressively like 30 mph or more consistently you need at least 2 battery setup for sure. If you ride in the 20-25 mph mostly single battery that comes with it is okay, it has good range .
I will put videos up when i get it done within weeks or months. Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@MrMtr999 H6 is now 2,020$. I am mostly concerned about battery life cause i need to cover about 35 to 40 miles to work and back each day. H6 is slower at 80 nm torque but the back rack has a 130 lb payload and it still reaches the speeds we usually travel. Up to 35 mph with pedalling full speed. Damn it i really like the 20 inch tires and the green color and frame with the back seat. Now you showed me this motorcycle of an e bike for 2,000$. I have to get it.
@@MrMtr999 Thanks for all your videos and i appreciate the advice :)
But man seeing the power on the wicked bike now i feel like i have to get it and i will have to ride at 25 mph to work and back until i get the second battery later on.
@@CONSCIOUS_TALK_ENT. $2020 ? That is a somewhat good price for 2 batteries but you are not going to go over 30-31 mph with a 48v system without pedaling like tour de france contest. You will need 2 battery setup for sure with 40 miles commute that goes above 30 mph. With Wicked it will cost more than $2020 for sure by the time you done setup. But if you can accept pas1 about 22 mph top speed pedaling with Wicked, you don’t need 2nd battery, single battery will go about 60 miles and more with just pas1 @22 mph pedaling and little throttle. Also Wicked is still an Ebike it is not an E Motorcycle yet., it is not as fast as Onyx or Sur Ron or the likes, etc. The Wicked weight is 78 lbs that is still ebike but if you want to go above 30 mph full throttle only no pedaling, you need to get Onyx or others and look into registration and moped/motorcycle laws that apply cause you won’t be able to ride those on sidewalks or trails without getting spotted. And the cost of big battery for those bikes are astronomical, it is very different territory. Hope this help. Good Luck 👍
wanted to get same bike but delivery in august is just to much of a wait
Get something else? A lot of great bikes in the market if you are not picky, they are about the same if you don’t go over 28 mph your usual ir daily ride
@@MrMtr999 i think if you go with the freedom you can get it now but the step thru is sold out

I think people took a chance getting the Kepler and not really knowing the long term durability .. Luckily the Kepler turned out for me to be a
great purchase. Ariel Rider has been around a bit.. This company in not sure yet what you can expect from them. A bit unknown still. Not sure the extra 3-5 mph is worth the chance. It seems ok though. We can see what they come up with and how people are liking the first few batches.. Maybe they can make some changes here and there and still keep a lower price and the same power. 👍
You are missing the boat bud, I can say this, if i want to buy a new ebike right now i would get Wicked. It is a better bike. Unless AR or other brands come out with similar or better specs and better service and delivery and price which is very difficult. Wicked is a better bike for $2k and less.
