  • @Altema22
    @Altema22 Před rokem +16

    Good tests! Not surprised that the top speeds were similar. The top speed is determined by the motor's RPM per volt rating, and since the Wired battery is not in top shape, the voltage under load is probably down a few volts. Amps are a primary factor in torque, so I'm not surprised the Wired had better acceleration. It may not make a big difference in normal riding, but hill climbing is where torque shines.

  • @emaguigad

    A test to do with pedal assistance is to see what speed each setting goes, and how the gears pair with the settings.
    As an example, my 72v 3000w is 5mph, 8 mph, 14mph, 24mph, 28, 30, 40... i can only pedal to 20 mph with my 48f 14r so pedal assist 3 at 14 is the last usable one.

  • @axelthorfilms
    @axelthorfilms Před 8 měsíci +1

    The rated watts of the motors and the amps of the controllers and batteries will explain it all. Would prefer the 60v bike but that would depend on the ah and continuous rating of the battery. More technical info should have been provided in this video.
    Dual motors are a must if you live in the hills or mountains if you don't want to pedal at all. I have a dual motor diy ebike with a 1000w dd in front with a 60v battery and a 30 amp controller and in back a 1000w geared with a 52v and 30a controller. I can only do 40 mph and am not pushing the battery output. But I am heavy and so is the bike with 2 batteries and all my accessories added. I live in an area with 45 degree mountain roads and I can do 25 from a stop up the hills. No pedaling. The 60v battery lasts longer drawing the same amps as the 52. Both are 30amp continuous and 20ah. I normally use both motors to accelerate fast and cruise with the front dd motor as there is minimal drag from the geared motor when being pulled as opposed to pushing against a dd that has more drag not under power.

    Main points:
    - Grips move/rotate while riding
    - Connections to the display is hokey. Connectors too close to handlebars
    - Derailer skips when it's in gears 6, 7
    - Front forks seem cheap. And can't adjust them to get it right.
    - Seat not comfortable (recommends a Cloud Nine seat)
    - Throttle too sensitive. Jolts. Not enough control over the speed. And it changes even tho you are keeping it still.
    - Odometer not accurate
    - Battery discharge percentage not accurate
    - Plastic fenders are rattly and cheap
    - Chain vibrates and rattles when going over small bumps.
    But the speed, he says, is awesome. Great value for the money.

    The Ariel is 1/3 cheaper. Ariel is $1800 with FL tax (free shipping) whereas the Wired Freedom is $600 more -- $2406 with shipping and tax. Same bike but with the following differences:
    (A) Wired Freedom has DNM rear suspension
    (B) Wired has a 60V 20AH battery vs 52V 20AH battery for the Ariel.
    (C) Wired hub is 138 nm torque and 1500W vs Ariel 108 nm and 1000W
    (D) Ariel has rear integrated brake light with directional blinkers. Wired I thinkjonly has rear brake light, no directionals
    I wonder how these two compare on the beach. Do you think the Wired will perform significantly better through thick sand? the Kepler seems to have better resistance to splashing water. The Wired seems like the charge controller is very close to the ground and will get wet easier.

    The Wired is probably geared a bit lower in the hub and I'm sure 60v helps some.
    OK, so, I'm not suggesting you try this, but, if you opened up the Kepler settings and changed the controller from 33A to 40A I bet you could hit 41.8 mph on a level road. You'd probably also notice a fast drop in battery %.
    I'm just guessing, of course.

    • @maximumchargeEV
      @maximumchargeEV  Před rokem +2

      I replaced the freewheel to match the kepler so the gearing was the same. I took the variable of the gearing out of the tests because everyone has different pedal abilities anyway, and some people change their gears too. Also, I'm not sure if changing the amps in the settings would do anything, or even work since the battery Bms might be the limiting factor. I have however seen people run 72v and 3000+ watts through the same motor as the kepler and it flies up to 50mph. The motor could handle more power.

      I'm sure they did their research before reinforcing the gears. As long as they're softer than the spur gear (I guess the gear along the inside of the hub is the spur) it should be OK. You can't replace the spur. You always want the planetary or pinion gears to wear out.
      Anyway, I'm sure there are differences in the rake angle of the fork etc. How does the Wired feel as far as stability or maneuverability go?

    Why do you ride so many fat tire bikes when obviously the vast majority of your riding is done on hard smooth surfaces? Under those conditions, there's no advantage. If you're so concerned with top speed a fat tire bike isn't the way to go. Of course, you're still playing with hub motor ebikes.

    • @maximumchargeEV
      @maximumchargeEV  Před rokem +1

      I've only just started ebiking last year. Sorry I don't have a huge collection of ebikes yet. They only seem to make high powered ebikes with fat tires these days, but as you know roads are not 100% smooth and fat tires do have their advantages. I'm sensing some anger in your comment friend...

    • @brianbassett4379
      @brianbassett4379 Před rokem +3

      ​@@maximumchargeEV Ok, it's not anger just confusion, and a "collection of ebikes" is the exact opposite of what I recommend to potential ebike owners let alone a "huge collection". Anyone that has a stable of bikes isn't doing it because they ride them a lot. If you do it right and do your research you don't have to waste money on low-end ebike after low-end ebike hoping to find something that doesn't need to be replaced because it's, well... a low-end ebike. The only reason fat tire bikes have come into vogue is that a very few riders take them into areas that have soft surfaces where they actually shine, the beach or snow, the vast majority ride them like you are here. Fat bikes are all one-trick ponies, it's not because they offer a better ride overall, they don't. I'm also confused about what you mean by "high power"... is that voltage or amperage, are you talking about newton meters of torque? In this video, you "compared two of the fastest fat tire ebikes" which is very much an oxymoron.
      Let me put it in perspective for you, I've owned and ridden the same ebike for the past 7 years and have ridden over 42K miles on her over every type of terrain. 1000W mid-drive or 1.34 h.p., 160Nm of torque, 2058Wh lithium packs that let me easily cover over 100 miles on smooth hard level surfaces like you're riding in the video. A *realistic* 100-mile range on a single battery. I've ridden at 47 mph as a speed test and I'm here to tell you it's stupid moving that fast on a bicycle, and my bike is geared to climb not run. Moving fast isn't difficult with a motor it's all about gearing that's why production ebikes are limited. If you want to "ride fast", especially in traffic buy an electric motorcycle that is built for speed.
      Large lumbering bouncing tires with massive rolling resistance aren't a replacement for a suspension... "as you know roads are not 100% smooth and fat tires do have their advantages." The one advantage of fat tires is riding on soft surfaces, they're an impediment to riding on roads by cutting your range in half whether the bike has a rear shock or not. That's why fast road bikes all have narrow wheel sets. You also must know that no hub-motored bike can climb worth a crap in comparison to a mid-drive that applies all the torque to the bike's gears. I saw a new ebike that stated on their web the bike shouldn't climb over a 10-degree hill... how stupid is that? My driveway is steeper than 10 degrees.
      Do you know what the original definition of an ebike is or where it came from? Back before California started the 3 class tiered system? *"The Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA) amended its definition of e-bikes in 2002 through HB 727, a law enacted by Congress. CPSA defines low-speed electric bicycles (LSEB) as two or three-wheeled vehicles with fully operable pedals, top speeds under 20 mph on the motor only (32 km/h), and electric motors that produce less than 750 watts."* Being able to comply with those limits means you can ride the ebike anywhere in America where bicycles are allowed. A Class-1 ebike by law isn't even considered a motorized vehicle as strange as that seems. If you actually read through this whole comment you might be able to understand my confusion in comparing the top speed and hill-climbing abilities of ebikes that are inferior in both those areas.
      I understand the CZcams trash that will recommend anything with an affiliate link like snake oil salesmen, none of which have any integrity whatsoever, but you don't seem to be doing that. If you really want a great ebike, or just a fast ebike, or one that can climb like a goat it's not hard. Where it starts to get difficult is having a bike that is reasonably good at all of them and you will never find that in some low-end internet sales wonder.
