If you're looking for a practical folding ebike with relatively long range without having a super heavy ebike, the Wildeway FW11S 3.0 could be a good choice for you. It has a folding step thru frame that makes it easy to get on and off, and after you remove the 18 lb battery, this folding ebike is actually manageable to pick up and put in a vehicle, unlike some of the fat tire foldable ebikes. The skinnier tires result in less rotational unsprung mass which improves handling as well as better battery efficiency - of course you should keep this one on easy terrain with those skinnier tires though.

Peace be with you! Competent and VERY INEXPENSIVE folding eBike. Large battery and torquey motor! 2 thumbs up👍👍 Thank you!
You know that this is not a "independet review", right?
He has affiliate links under any video, you know why?
Because that's how he makes his money. So why would he say anything bad about any product he reviews? it would hurt his wallet...
@@ickebins6948he made a bad review in both aniioki e-bikes and he got paid
Bought one of these not too long ago as my first ebike. Not bad at all for the price, although the charge time is a lot longer than I expected (10 hours).
Thanks for the review though, it helped me in making the decision. 👍
one of the best deals ive ever seen on this channel
I got the 4.0 and like it very much. During the summer I would take 75-85 mile rides on trails into the city
Wow you get 85 miles out of battery
@paulcardsfan yes. Last summer, I would ride around 40 miles, then turn around and go home.
Great I ordered the 3.0 step thur . I like bike touring thought this would make a great touring bike
Man that's amazing thank you so much for telling us some range numbers That's such an important thing and so surprising how few detail it.
I have an emoko c91, i upgraded the brakes too hydraulic and added a second battery and its an absolute blast to ride, front and rear suspension and 38 mph top speed, and i get about 30 miles if im full throttle everywhere, 40 - 60 miles in lower modes with some peddle assist, i love these cheap chinese bikes.
I opted for a very similar bike in the Romatlink Dolphin. It's a bit more expensive but comes with dual rear suspension and a suspension seat post, and 4 inch wide wheels. Right now they have a special where they include a mirrors and a basket. $915 at the Romatlink store. So far I'm digging it. It has so much range I don't have the time to test. I was out the other day 3.5 hours. I got 38 miles with about 50% pedaling on dirt trails. I leaned on the throttle on the way back since it started raining. I still had one bar left on the display. Too bad it doesn't come with a voltage reading.
This is a difficult bike to design no doubt. There's so many variations of folding bikes. Thanks Matt, great review again.
What's the link for the better seat? It's not in the description. 😢
I was looking for that to. I got the bike for my wife and she loves it. Would like a better seat post
Same
Sold my aostirmotor fat bike, built another one myself, but I sure like this thing...with that massive battery. Great review. Thanks for the info!
This is as good as cheap ebikes get. Just add new slick tires and you're done building a commuter.
I got this bike back during Thanksgiving and it's everything and more wildway claims it is. Everything was tightened well, nothing rattles, it's been great.
How many miles do you get before the battery dies?
@@detectiveben1 I had a big long detailed explanation but it didn't post. In a nutshell, I did mixed writing full throttle, some off-road and pedal assist. I got 70 MI. I turn the key off and on again and I had two bars left out of five.
@@zfastjoe oh wow that’s a lot of how long have to had the wildeway for so far? Any issues??
@@detectiveben1 had it four months. It doesn't have a single problem. I put green slime in the tire tubes and that's it. I did a 50-mile ride and I came back with three bars showing out of five on the battery. I honestly think if I go 15 miles per hour I can get over a 100 mi on it.
@@zfastjoe it’s crazy how the 3.0 wildeway is only $799 and no tax for a 32 amp battery!! Did you ever buy the 3.0 one?
On the IP rating ... the first thing that caught my attention when you unboxed it is the battery compartment ... it looks like it'll capture and hold water pretty good and flood the electrical contacts in the rain. Does this bike look like its good for fair weather riding only?
Finally!!!! A bike reviewer wearing a helmet. BRAVO!!!!!
Dudestuff wears flip flops
I received my Engw, I mean FW11S 3.0 yesterday and took it for a 36-mile ride today. It still had 3 of 5 bars left riding the great majority on throttle only. Thanks for the $20 discount. I can only compare it to the Lectric xp2. The Wildeway is way more powerful and faster but it doesn't deliver that power as smoothly as the XP2. On the XP2 I can cruise between 7-8 and 12 mph using the throttle and have a very smooth experience, something I almost always do around town and I enjoy the smoothness very much. The WW is very jerky. Any increase in throttle really gives a jolt. Just riding on mildly bumpy roads varies the pressure on the thumb throttle enough to make for involuntary jerky riding.
I wish it had a voltage meter but the battery capacity is great. The brakes seem slightly better than the xp2. The handling is much better than the xp2, especially when I put my dog on the front rack. I had to put him on the rear rack of the xp2.
To sum up the comparison. If you want to go fast and far with great handling choose the Wildeway. If you want a smooth riding experience and don't need to go over 20 miles or so the xp (now 3) is your choice.
Interesting wonder why it's so twitchy and curious if there is a way to fix that?
@@travisj.1938 I have sort of worked around it. In stock PAS1 tops out at about 17 mph. The manual didn't tell you how to change settings so I emailed the company and they told me how to adjust PAS settings. I set PAS1 to 7mph, 2 to 11mph and 3 to 16mph. This allows me a smooth slow ride, but I have to change the PAS My Lectric xp2 gives full power up to 20mph on any PAS but delivers the power smoothly.
Thank you so much for your review video!!❤🙌
I'm excited for my new bike that I will be ordering once I found out my wife's surgery went well! Thanks for the creation and can't wait to see it in person!
"Pop the hood" lol
The price, the range, the torque, and the step through... this would seem to be a excellent bike for nearly anyone wanting to try ebiking. Only thing holding it back is the lack of rear suspension and the abysmal suspension seat post, throw a quality one on and this could be a real go to option for easy ebike commuting.
Don’t buy a cheap bike with a rear suspension. These constructions start to creak at some point and thats not that easy to fix, when all the parts are cheap. Only use suspension seatposts. They’re easy to maintain or to switch out.
Great videos from this fella. Onoy wish they would sell to the UK
just ordered this bike...stoked🤘🏻
getting some pannier bags ASAP to carry my photography equipment and various other things
Champion
Does the wallke battery fit in wildeway for more power torque
Going 30mph at 15-16a that means the bike is rideable for 2 hours if u ride it flat which means full out no pedalling(provided u going a constant speed not accelerating) you will get 60 miles of range which is incredible for the price and ebike you get
It's $899 great buy for someone starting out. Brakes ????
For the cadence sensor, you have to pedal one full revolution in order for the motor to kick in?? Is that normal with e bikes? Is it inconvenient? Wouldn’t half a revolution be more beneficial??
I love all your videos I was thinking about buying the wired freedom till I saw a clone by ecells I was wondering if you can compare everything about it so I can make an informed decision it might be competitive
I’m considering getting an addmotor electric trike (maybe tomorrow). I’ve been watching your channel for awhile now and was hoping you had affiliate link for them to help compensate you a bit via a kickback. Thanks for your content!
When using the term 50%ish at the end, what was being implied?!!!!!
Thank you sharing video.
I want to know battery bottom system
I want to buy 48vEBIKE
Thank you sharing video.
anyone figure how to reduce cadence sensor lag?
AND SO IT BEGINS! Legislation has been introduced in New Hampshire to classify any ebike THAT GOES OVER 15MPH as a regular motor vehicle and require registration, plates, licensing and insurance. And thats just the beginning. I've been warning about this for a year and YTers like this who post videos encouraging speeding, reckless riding and altering the safety protocols while aimed at teens are partly responsible. Look for similar legislation to be proposed in most other states over the next 12-24 months. A few Jeff Spicolis and 20%ers ruined it for everyone.
👋 Matt ! ❤ you're REVIEWS. I plan on purchasing a JUICED RIP RACER . But i need you're review of it. Is it in the works ? 🤞👍
how many miles can you go on this battery
I got 46 miles full throttle and I way 215 lb
That's exactly the information I wanted to hear.
Thanks
What do you get peddling?
Thanks for this info.
Me too @@davidgraham2673
Can I put bigger tires on these rims?
So if I roll past the Champion dude you think he would call me a Champion? I might travel to LA for that
I want a compilation of just the champion guy saying champion.
@@Flash007bthat'd be amazing!
Have you discovered how to change the speeds inside the pedal assistance I will be pulling a Child trailer behind and 16 mph is a lot when you’re pulling a trailer that recommends going only 10 miles an hour
I have read in the reviews that it can be changed I am thinking of buying one and was wondering the same.
I read in the reviews for it that you are able to change them I am considering buying one and was wondering the same
The step over model is even cheaper 799. Free ship, no tax?!? Dang.
i ordered one 8 days ago, got it today. initial test ride was great!
how far can you go on this bike ?
Can you do an interview with the champion guy 😂
Would love to see this!
Champion out✌️
Gutted they won't ship to the UK
Curious I saw one guy say the power comes on pretty jerky and not very smooth curious if everybody else has had same experience?
Would you recommend this or the new Velotric Fold 1?
Debating between these two as well
Did you notice when you were looking up the weight of the bike in the specifications, it said “4-piston hydraulic brakes”?
Noticed that too and it’s strange like the motor thing. It’s mechanical brakes and the 4.0 has hydraulic
what is max range of battery if you go 25mph about whole time
Saw one guy say he got 45 miles at full throttle and he said he wayed 215lbs. Hope this helps
When's the review of the ghost cat v2
RE; 43mph bike video-
Are you aware of any fender upgrades to metal ? Would that even be a good idea ?
COMPLETELY new to E-bikes and I truly appreciate your channel and your approach to the subject. Entertaining with a light hearted and fun rhythm/speed whilst managing to cover all of the important stuff..
( I assume 😅 ) I've shared your channel with people I know who are very much into the whole E-bike "scene" (I am leaning towards being a member of the SHARKS personally) 😂 ..probably too young for that "witty " reference. As am I truth be told. 😐 that's what makes me worldly and sophisticated...
😑 yes indeed...and I've been to 17 different countries and know words and stuff from each one. 😄 granted I was usually shooting at the natives or being shot at by the natives. Often at the same time and few of these words I know are for polite company 😁 usually 98% of the natives are asking for our help and protection, food and medical thingies..😰 but 20% want us as well as that lovely 98% to die horrific deaths in slow motion IMAX style 🙄 uhhrmm..well smartie pants you are correct about the mathematical inconsistencies .
🤔 💭 so you carry the 3..👀🤳🏼🧠😰 and devide by 11.61 🕵🏻♂️ 👨🏻🏫🙏🏼 👩🏼🔬 🧙🏼♀️ 🧙🏻♂️ 😣 😖 🤯 ..😐 huh seems like 15% or so changes their mind daily depending on who's inquiring and a large number of "men" from other countries show up to add their 2 cents.
😳 kinda like us...
😑 this Devil Dog has lost the plot 😂..
😑 I want to APEAR to be E-bike cool and actually BE.. E-bike cool adjacent...which oddly defying the odds leads me back to the question- metal fender upgrades...available?
A positive net result ?
The plastic fenders seem to be eagerly embracing destruction via shattering upon the first curb they bump.
I sincerely appreciate your opinion and time.
Despite the length of this missive which could lead one to some inner debate regarding the value I place on your time.
I can only assure you of my sincerity and ask for your understanding of my just awoke from PTSD nightmare and turned to your videos for a place to gain a small amount of mental stability with which to build upon in order to face another day. Comicstorian and Comics explained as well as Robo/Fwoosh and D-Amazing among others who also have been a great help. I apologize for the inconvenience of this lengthy comment..and I hope that you and those you care for are happy, healthy, and safe this new year. Semper Fidelis P.S Please forgive me for any misspellings words that are out of context or poor punctuation. I lost my hand in Afghanistan so now I dictate rather than type and the program is not perfect. It seems to believe that because I'm Italian Amarican that I must have a speech impediment like Rocky 😁
I had to go back and read your conment with the Rocky voice it made for a fun read. LoL JK yeah his videos are the best Ive seen for ebike reviews and they are calming for some reason. Hope you continue to heal and recover thank you for your service sending positive vibes hope and prayers your way GOD BLESS ✝️🙏
I just ordered their step over version (same spec) for $599
From where?
@@rickflair4428 amazon but by the time you pay the shipping fee it works out to exactly the same price as is on the manufacturer website that ships for "free"... nothing but bragging rights
Are you able to verify this was the 3.0? On the website it says the 3.0 is 500 watts but peaks at 750 watts however you said yours was doing 900 watts when u where pulling 18 amps
750 watts peak is very suspicious when it can climb that 20% hill. You may be right, it might be 4.0.
What is odd is the bike is the 3.0 because the tires are 20x3, however, it’s almost like they threw on the 4.0 motor for this review or something? The 4.0 would have 20x4 tires and hydraulic brakes. This is odd with the motor though
i had the same thought too... after watching the unboxing portion again, unfortunately i cant read the upc code but i can see the color options and say that based on that, its the 3.0 for sure. that motor power seems off though which also has me concerned regarding hill climbs etc. im seriously hoping that they didnt juice up his "3.0" bike before they sent it in order to sell out older worse performing models....
So 3.0 is bad quality?
@LuiHerrera-fw2mg so i actually vought this exact bike in the non step through version. The 3.0 is wonderful! Mechanical brakes vs hydraulic is the major difference. The 3.0 is NOT lacking in power and thats coming from a 260lb 6'2 rider. This bike hauls me around great! Had to adjust the brakes a little but nothing major.
How can i get it in Europe?!
review the jackrabbit xg next!
I think he only reviews bikes that get sent to him by the companies.
Hello TailHappyTv, Im in the hunt to purchasing the best fastest strong up hills folding Ebike, do you have one in mind, also can you do the same in giving us a review on the best one you can find. sometimes we go on weekend trips and we don't want to lug a bike rack and heavy bike and just want to throw in the back of SUV we be a nice option. hope you can help, thanks.
I saw this bike with different names and brands, and different prices. Victrip Titan s, wildeway fw11, ghesheng ... And many more... What's funny is all these brands will disappear on the market after some time and they will come with different names and start selling Chinese bikes. I suggest you buy a branded bike with good history that they sell spare parts. All these Chinese brands you can't find on the market after sometimes.
Not a bad price.
Is it possible to ride this bike in the rain?
Our bikes are waterproof, the waterproof level is IPX4. However, for the life of the bike, we don't recommend the bike to be exposed to rain and touch water for a long time.
Please review the Wildeway X7! I feel that it is the absolute sweet spot for ride comfort/range and portability!!
thanks--whats the range please?
Yes I wish he would do a range test probably at least 60 miles .
What is the torque ⁉️ tore up that 20% grade ‼️ Question to ALL , Twist throttle or thumb ❓️
60 N.m and thumb throttle
It would be nice to get a better approximation of the total range for you, a 200lb rider. Their website claims up to 90 miles in pedal assist mode and 60 miles in pure electric mode on one charge. You went almost 20mi and didn't do any sand riding, pretty much all flat street riding, and according to the voltmeter, you were already down to 50-55% battery? It doesn't sound like you'd get anywhere near the 60mile claim on throttle only..maybe 35-40 on throttle.
All the companies lie unfortunately. General rule of thumb I have seen is that the actual ranges are usually about half of what these companies claim.
He didn't start with a fully charged battery.
This was a really good review lol
An E-bike reviewer, a bike thief, and a champion guy walk into a bar...
Tell me if you've heard this one.
Haha right pedal on the left gonna need a new crank arm
That bike is not putting out full wattage full watts is supposed to peak out I think at 1400 or 1200 maybe so it's down
I actually can ride this bike! Lol 5’ 100lbs doesn’t give me many options lol
You'll probably be the only person who can get 60 miles out of the battery though!
Mashallah ♥️♥️♥️ first
Bit odd they wont ship to the uk but they will France hmmmm
Isn't this the same bike as the CYCROWN CycFree?? Other than the wheels it looks exactly the same🤨
$750 on AMZN right now.
Right time to waste money I guess xD
This bike hauls ass! 216 lbs and it get me up any steep hill just feather the throttle while pedalling
You know that looked really good until you said it had 3 inch wide tires you lost me right there
The family tree of the Devil cause Country Recessions. :(
