In this video I put the "old" Wired Freedom ebike through some harsh riding conditions to see what happens if you run too much power for too long. I also accidentally get soaked by ocean water when a water unexpectedly drenches me and the 60v electric bike circuits. Will it survive? Yeah, it did, I actually filmed this BEFORE I did the Lake Tahoe Flume trail ride.

This torture test was hard to watch. Poor bike! I can’t wait for you to review the 2024 version.
Salt water + electricity + no bueno! Nice to see the overload protection on this bike.
I wonder how many people you angered riding within inches of their beach towels and flipping sand on them as you plow by.
It's California who cares
@@ericdoran4313 Most important state in the union. Per GDP and pop.
Is weaving in and out of unsuspecting beach goers smart? I appreciate the video reviews but don't go getting ebikes super regulated to the point they are limited in what is allowable.
Plus it's illegal.
Yes its smart...
California dush
dam right. they will ban ebikes from beaches becuase of riders like this
I do love his videos but I always cringe when he goes on beaches and weaves in between people getting way too close, not to mention being on the bike trails going like 30 to 35. It's just way too much while passing people.
Can confirm this. I received mine 10/21, ordered first week of August. Bike is the new model. The thing is a tank and has a ton of power. Definitely a big bike. Fits me well at 6’1” 230 lbs. Excited to put some miles on it. Thanks to TailHappyTV for putting it on my radar. Keep doing your thing bud. Cheers
Another great review. Keep up the good work.. I can’t wait to see the next torture for this bike or the new 2024 model..already place an order.😊
Perfect timing I was just thinking about buying one !
I clicked the link and bought one. Can't wait to get it! Thanks for these awesome reviews!
you really put this one to the test.. i did watch you video of the newer one and i think i commented on that one..
AWESOMENESS!!! 😎
Hello. Are you planning to test the Engwe E26?
Stop getting so close to ppl. You're going to blow it for everyone. If you do this at least do it at 6am.
Dude! Incredible videos you are producing. Just ordered 2024 Wired Freedom using your referral link. Keep 'em coming!
I have juiced rip racer which is great had it for a year but ready for an upgrade, this seems perfect.
Definitely gonna get this bike! A lot of power which I want and I can get some exercise whooo
Why are you riding near the sun bathers lol, just curious really
The website is showing Mid-January now. Considering I live in Ohio I'll wait till it says March or April before considering pulling the trigger. Otherwise it looks like an awesome bike, especially for the price.
Thanks again Matt! I am still stalking your channel for that power capable 26" bike that will handle country roads. But I learn something new from almost every review. Can't wait to see your Wired Freedom 2024 review.
Be careful. I had issues with the bike I took delivery of in August and Steve (the CEO of Wired) did nothing to help me. Thankfully they weren't issues with the motor or battery but, if you have issues with major components like that, I'd be afraid he would be even MORE inclined to avoid helping you. All he seems to care about is selling as many bikes as he can.
Epic man!!!!!!
This is hard to pass up. Although I already have a Kepler. 😂
Can you review the Jack Rabbit e-bike?
Stay away from people trying to relax at the beach - Give them some space when riding!
Another great review of the beloved Wired Freedom ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️
The fact that it gets 38mph at 2200w on 4" wide tyres means the motor is is super efficient. I'm curious if 3" tires would fit on the rims. It probably can sustain 2200w at high speed because of air cooling.
I would like to get that ventilated controller cover. Do you have a link?
I ride over about 750 miles per month on my ebike. I am usually riding between 32-43 MPH. I consider traffic lights, etc. "suggestions". With that said, the idea of bombing down a public beach on an e bike this close to people is mindlessly inconsiderate and the kind of stuff that will give local politicians a reason, justifiably so to start over-regulating. Shocked to see something this irresponsible. Another form of entitlement; "today I WANT to make a video, and the concerns of anyone else will not matter to me, because I'm doing me"....true douchebaggery...
Love the wired freedom. I just wish they had the same bike with more typical mountain bike tires like a 27.5 x 2.25. Also wish it had mounting points for a front mount basket or rack. I want that same frame motor battery etc just hate the handling of fat tires
It’s too heavy and powerful for mountain bike wheels.
@dixienormis3614 it is neither too heavy nor powerful. Many cargo bikes use 20 or 26/27.5 x 2.1-2.4 tires, and they can have 400+lb capacities. As to power plenty of DIY bikes out there with 80V battery packs and powerful controllers rocking 2k watt hub motors and they do great. I keep hoping for one to hit the market to avoid the DIY route and hoping wired expands thier kine so I do not have to.
The cargo bikes are built different though. Shorter 20” wheels typically. A taller heavy bike like the Freedom would suffer with traction. If it were 10-20 pounds lighter it would be ok I bet. I have a few e-bikes one has 29x3 wheels and that is ideal for a bike the same height and weight. I don’t really love fat tires they are too slow and not nimble but I think it’s ok given the weight and motor acceleration
I love the channel bro 😎
Question if you don't mind sir. You showed some kind of plastic black box @2:44 could you explain more about that device perhaps in the future. Thank you, Dave.
its a controller cover with ventilation holes on it allowing the controller to get airflow, thus not getting hot as fast. You don't really need to worry about it getting hot though unless you're literally doing what tail happy was legit riding through sand for like a half hr
I get it, but does it come with the bike or no?@@justchilldude98
@@DavidLeeMenefeethe bike comes with a normal cover this is aftermarket with air vents
OK thanks.@@justchilldude98
Bro do you know how much strain you put on that motor going through that sand a lot 🤔
I mean it is a torture test
Nice vid!
Doing research there are no local service centers to do any warranty work.
Hey, I just came across your channel and can't get enough of your content. im looking to get a couple E-bikes this winter. Would you be willing to do a aventon aventure 2 vs. Mokwheel basalt review or at least give me your opinion on what bike you would choose. I just looked them both up and they to exact same price at this time thx bud 👍 you rock
hey great review i have enjoyed your other videos i getting the wired freedom or maybe the grizzly but what was the box with all the holes in or where can i find it
This info would be great
I also have never seen that box and confused if it was sent to him or custom made or production. Very confused!
Curious how many people you kicked sand onto while on the beach… Not good behavior.
Please review the eahora apus 2023
I wonder how much difference it would make if you aired down the tires for sand.
Are beach goers used to seeing e-bikes blasting around them in the sand? Lol 😂
I never see the discount code at the bottom of the screen.
Ayeee i see your using strava i use that for my bike rides n runs too. I just ordered my wired freedom its gunna be epic
FYI, they also increased the minimum height of the seat by 2 inches, might be a game changer for me too bad.
Fr I’m a short king and I was already skeptical about the height of the seat and now it’s got me tripping more about it. Hopefully the suspension on the seat post is enough for me to be comfortable 😱
Ya, I called down there and they did tell me that the minimun seat height was increased by 2". I do hope this works out for you though because it seems like a good bike non the less.@@TheGodNC
@@TheGodNC It's a 26" tire bike. Totally standard size. Don't sweat it.
I reached out to them and asked if my height 5'7" could be a problem and they said I'd be fine. I really hope so because I have my eye on this e-bike and to return it would cost shipping fees plus a $500 restocking fee! Ouch! 😬
Ouch indeed! I am aware of that cost. Did you happen to ask them if there is any kind of modification one can do to offset the height change? Is there enough material for example to cut down that central post for the seat in order to lower the seat height by a couple of inches because it's hard to tell just by looking at their pictures on their website.@@ACJr7
So glad to have ordered one at the end of August Bro!
SAME I ORDERED MINE AUGUST 10TH CANT WAIT
I bought the 2023 version and only used it twice. Man this sucks lol that bike does seem more legit
What bike would you choose for a price tag a round $2500?
Can you test riding an ebike to take the battery off the bike and pretend the battery is dead? Is it easy or hard to pedal to get home? Someone commented that the mid-drive is easier to pedal than the hub-drive.
It’s not too hard to pedal with no motor assistance . It’s slow for sure but not too hard especially when you get going because the weight carries momentum
@@dixienormis3614 - Look at the article from Electrek: "The hidden costs of using an electric bike." And see a comment from Ken Handley "A good humorous article. I just wish more people in the UK, esp in the North East would swap their car journeys for e-bike journeys. If anyone form the UK or even the North East of the UK is reading and is considering an e-bike, a 25 mile round trip is easy. Having owned both a mid-drive and hub-drive bike, I would recommend the mid-drive as it forces you to do some pedaling and is a lot easier to ride should your battery die. A hub-drive, especially those with throttles tend to make you lazy, and if the battery dies, it's like dragging a tank."
The mostly hub-drive are everywhere, if the battery dies, it's like dragging a tank???
if you break a chain on a mid drive you are pushing the bike home. just saying.
i hope we could have the wired bike in EU too....
thanks, will you review the Quietkat Lynx plz
👍👍
Makes me nervous when you ride so close to people in the sand 😭
Finally got down to el segundo to put my bike together had it up to 42 mph. Taking it to Manhattan beach today along the ocean!!!! Thx for all the videos this thing just makes me smile!!!! 😊
Review the puckipuppy electric bike
I've been riding my Wired Freedom (original model) on the same single track mountain bike trails as my 29r, and it's been fantastic. No, it's not as nimble as my 29r, but it sure climbs those hills a lot faster and saves my knees from the inevitable post ride aches. I do try and treat it with more respect as I don't think they really designed the bike for this type of terrain. Nonetheless, it's does an awesome job of hauling my 225 pounds through the hills. Get one, you won't regret it!
I plan to use mine in the woods too but mostly power lines, rail trails and fire roads. It looks well-suited for that type of adventuring. I prefer a non-ebike mountain bike for the more technical stuff anyway
@MrT-tn4qe it will be perfect for that. I too prefer my "manual" mnt bike for technical stuff, but it sure is nice to get tithe top of the hill without being worn out:-). Of course, losing some weight would be helpful for me as well!
@@davidconaway2830 yea I like getting a workout on the mountain bike too but I think of the Wired as more for those days I want to go exploring and be on the streets and find some back country to adventure through, maybe see if I can find some remote fishing spots so that big rack will come in handy I think. I ordered the bike so just waiting for November to get here!
How would you choose between a mokwheel basalt st vs the wired freedom?
Just depends on what you’re looking for. Wired is wayyy faster and more of a motorcycle, basalt is more of a level pedal assist bicycle with decently strong juice. Hope this helps.
Ive never seen you ride so long through the sand.
I really want this bike but I keep seeing people get ripped off with their bikes stopped working :/
What are the problems they had, why did they stop working?
@@MrT-tn4qe didint ask, would just see different people comment that their bikes suddenly stopped working and did not know what was going on. I really want this bike but I think Il wait for future versions .
@@Jonpis7 I haven't seen one comment about the bikes suddenly stopping working. Sounds like you are just making up stories that aren't true.
@@MrT-tn4qe wait you must be one of those people promoting wired freedom on the comments just like ebikebuilders video 😂😂
@@Jonpis7 nope, I'm just a customer that bought one and waiting for it to be delivered. I was asking and researching if people had legit issues with them, so I know ahead of time. Then I read comments from you where you claim people are getting ripped off with broken bikes but there is nobody saying that, except you, and you couldn't even back up your claim, so I know you're just trolling here trying to discredit the bike for some reason
2024 durability test when? 👀
Should've done a dirt test, more than likely not all riders are going to ride on sand.
I’d like to see P-51 bullet send you one to review.
This is the older version if he can't pedal topped out
2:17 does everybody in LA behave so irresponsibly because I promise you would not do that on a crowded Beach here in Florida around old people and children as if they were pylons on a slalom course at least not for very long. It's somebody Road at 20 miles an hour past my child with only a foot or two in between I would likely demonstrate to them how a Buccaneers John Lynch tackle is executed.
Do you have any new promo codes? This one no longer works
11.18.23😮
Does the old wired freedom also have a Hengtia motor? If I remember correctly, those are the throw away motors sucker 73 uses, would not be surprised if Wired starts having motor issues.
I just bought the Wired, waiting on delivery. Can you send a link to any discussions about the Hengtai motor being a "throw away" motor or where people are having issues? I have not seen anyone saying that about this motor and want to know what to expect.
@@MrT-tn4qe just search for the old super 73 vids the R and XR were the ones with the issues, Ariel Rider also used the motors for a year maybe two before going to Bafang.
@@MrT-tn4qe I'm sure they fix the problems by now
I just don’t see anything about these motors being bad, I can see reports suggesting they aren’t as good as Bafang but nothing solid. I hate how obscure info is on these Chinese parts. So shady. Oh well I’m taking the gamble.
I have an xclass with that brand motor it’s a beast compared to bafang brand been very reliable got about 12k miles on it so far
I don't get how everyone is going 40mph on these. Full throttle the fastest I can get is 33mph.
Make sure You've adjusted the settings. Out of the box you aren't getting the full potential.
Did you change the C5 setting? Is the watts showing 2200-2300 mark?
33 mph is pretty fast on a bike.
why no one ship this to Germany...
So likely not your favorite anymore then....
That didn't last long
Too bad it's only Usa
MURICA.
Motor quit cuz dude riding it in the ocean 😅
If I could afford it, i would provide insights into its' construction.
Durability test. Bike shuts down in 5 minutes and half a mile in sand.
hahaha I know right
Looked like he overheated it, but then it ran fine after it cooled off, but that was pretty funny
Definitely not bad though considering it lasted and actually got so far. But the boundaries are now set as far as Beach use. And considering the price range. And power range. And new metal fenders. I still want one bad.
And appearently, the safety shut off works. Which is good.
Hi I want to say sorry I didn't know I go to ur Amazon account I didn't do nothing on it I thought that it was my Amazon account into I see someone else name there
It’s ok, happens all the time
@@TailHappyTV I always show ur videos
And thank u for understanding
Most CA beaches prohibit motorcycles and your bike will be classified as such with the safety speed limiters modified or disengaged.
You commented twice complaining about this bikes speed. 😂😂 Don't be a Karen
@@kevinnashskitchen3517okay jeff...
What a Karen. Just comes here to cry about e-bikes hurting his feelings
@@dixienormis3614 😂
@dixienormis3614 that's Charon to you...the psychopomp to jeffreys...
Bike is not really $2000. They are charging $250 shipping in addition to charging the buyer $75 for shipping insurance. Calling this a $2,000 bike is misleading.
Do they charge sales tax on the shipping or insurance too?
LMAO THERES TAX AND SHIPPING ON EVERYTHING YOU BUY WYM
ONLINE ANYWAYS
Most of the ebike companies are offering free shipping and a realistic return policy, this company seems sketchy AF
@@keithstevens8739 ive spoken with the owner over the phone, they answer right away have excellent customer service, and send you new parts if needed free of charge if something happens during shipping sees pretty legit to me. thats prob why they charge shipping
Please disclose your financial arrangement with Wired. This seems like a fun bike and a good value but you seem to be trying to sell it too hard in multiple videos. Also you don't discuss the drawbacks like expensive shipping ...expensive return policy. ...weight ...size ....repairability ...storage ...portability etc
He said it's his favorite ebike ever in a video reviewing a completely different one.
@@JudeTheCZcamsPoopersubscribe - I know. Because of that, I think he should disclosure his financial arrangement
He says in the video, it's an affiliate link. Same with every video and pretty standard for the industry. You get the bike or scooter for free to review either as a to keep or a loaner. Then you make money if people click the link in your video and buy the item.
I disagree. Just finished watching this video and this bike really does seem like one of the best values so it is probably one of his favorite ones. I don't think it really matters about his financial arrangement, I mean for all these videos he puts out I hope it's a really solid arrangement! I mean seriously, 40 mph, super fun, removable battery, solid braking, price is fair relative to other bikes, durable, can't wait to see a riding of the 2024 model!
@@kamm596 -okay JayFly
You are a terrible example for ebike riders. I mean really riding between peeps laying down on the beach??
Cty2
It's too bad Steve from Wired screwed me and got away with it. I don't want it to happen to other people.
Lol, still bitching about a bent rack? Give it up already.
What happened? Is your bike not running? Or was it like a faulty / broken part from shipping or something like that? Does the bike itself work?
@@MrT-tn4qe The rack was bent so bad that the fender bolt was pushing into the tire so much that it was not rideable. Also, the deformation caused the whole right side of the fender to be jammed against the tire. The derailleur guard was jammed into the derailleur causing shifting problems but I was able to fix this. But, to make matters worse, Steve told me to remove the 2 back bolts and then pull hard on the rack with the upward motion to bend it back and this ended up bending the bolts (replaceable) but also stripping the front bolt holes in the frame. He wouldn't send me a new rack or compensate me at all so I can have a bike shop fashion something for me that fits. But no issues with the drive train.
@@ChristmasEve777 ahh ok good to know because I just ordered a Wired Freedom last week and want to know what to expect in terms of customer service
Mashallah ♥️♥️♥️
Ride it like you stole it! Haha
If you need a bike this powerful you'd be better off getting a gas powered one.... They won't let you ride on the bike paths and if you do you'll be pissing people off... If you like to go long distances on the bike path and be safe this is not the bike you want.. believe me you'll get tired of riding on the beach cuz that's all you'll be able to do
Orrr you can ride it on the road..
Or you could ride at a reasonable speed.
Why are people hating on this guy saying he's riding too close to people on the beaches???? Hasn't anyow heard of fish eye lens????
this company will not exist in a year
Why is that?
That bike is illegal to drive on public roads and the safty speed limiter has been illegally modified.
Corvettes go over the speed limit and are still legal. The law should not be on the vehicle but if you get caught speeding on you. Restricting bike to slow speed or power is stupid. They should change the law you cant go over 20mph in class 2 places/trails... or 28 in class 3...or you get a ticket like driver would. But that runs into problems if kids dont have a license. so maybe make it also age restricted. But what happens if your 14 year old riding a class 3 bike in a class 2 trail... IDK, I dont have the anwer to this but the fact you say its illegal it is! but that is a silly law comparing it to vehicles is what Im saying.
@@rabbithomesteading3797 so since a corvette an go over 65 they should not make laws for motorcycles, mopeds or electric motor driven bikes? How about bicycles? Ive seen BMWs go over the speed limit so I guess we dont need any bicycle laws...
It's not illegal on public roads in America where I live. If you keep under the posted speed limit you will not be breaking any laws. Where do you live?
@MrT-tn4qe where do YOU live...that's the important Q
@@johnrob3215 I live in the USA and ebikes are not illegal here, even the class 3 and 4 ones are legal. You might get a citation if you're riding like a dink though, like this TailHappy guy does weaving around people on a beach and such, that would actually get you killed around here because people don't expect you to be so ignorant and disrespectful here, maybe in LA thats different
Wired Bike Company is just Criminal! This bike actually cost $2,556 when you checkout and not $1,999! This price is a plain lie!
On top of the price $1,999 + Tax, there is another $250 for delivery and $75 insurance!
There is nothing special about this bike other than potential higher speed for short range. Also, your warranty is void if you change the speed setting. If you wanted to send it back for some reason, it’s going to cost you £250+ other hefty fees.
In my opinion it’s just not worth the price anymore. I can name many other well known bike brands that offers almost as much performance, better build quality, better range, better value and 2-3 years warranty!
In Europe this could never happen. The seller is always responsible to deliver the package intact and safe!
Courier companies would be fried for damaging and mistreatment of customers belongings!
I think I’ll now get a Yoto Leopard Hunter for $500+ less. It offers so much more for so much less!
Why are you such a rude rider? Aghast at you riding so close to people on the beach. Please stay in California.
Well because of you Sir I preordered the Wired Freedom should be getting sometime in Oct. Can't wait to hit some of the Oregon Trails and beaches.
Ok as a believer I know you listen to Doug H, And hear him talk about his building of ebikes. (well greatly suspect it) LOL I bought this bike but was lucky enough to be I guess a half model year maybe 23.5? (problems fixed of this model but not the new 24 model) because I want to try sneak up on one too. 🦍 I really love mine and cant loose!
I talked to Wired said I was getting the new model so maybe a 2023.5 but they said it is there 2024 model guess I will find out.@@rabbithomesteading3797
Make sure you weave around people on the beach within inches and fling sand in their faces just like this TailHappy Matt guy does so you can let everyone know how cool you are
@@dixienormis3614 Weave around F that I will just mow them down YELLING OUTA MY WAY MF
Atta boy! Hahahaha more like it
You will lose $1325 if you return within 30 days. Also, if you unlock the 20 mph, VOIDS WARRANTY. In addition, ALL returns must be NOT broken. You will lose the $250 + $75 shipping cost, and you will pay about $450 in s/h costs to return it, then they will deduct a $500 restocking fee.
Why did you end up returning it?
why would you want to return it bot? I saw the same exact post under two other videos. a hole.
@@timothywarehime5956 right? I asked him why he returned it, no answer.
