- Wired Ebikes in Chicago has new ebike that is really great so far. 60V 40 A controller, 2000 w peak motor and 20AH battery.
$1999 just $100 more than Ariel Rider Kepler. This is initial unboxing and unlocking the speed limit. Bike is capable of 33-35 mph when unlocked according to company’s info. The bike was shipped the same week i ordered, arrived literally 4 days from ordering date without damage at all ! So far the bike is great👍
Will update and review in future videos
Have A Merry Christmas everyone🌲❄️🌲❄️🎁
I love my Black Wicked Cruiser. Bang for buck for power, speed. and battery life. Some reviews on this Ebike have been removed from CZcams for no apparent reason. It had a great review from a well known Ebike reviewer. I bought mine because of his review.
Who removed what videos?
@@MrMtr999 CitizenCycle removed 2 reviews on the Wicked Freedom. Not sure why. By the way, thank you for your reviews. I am very happy that I purchased mine as well.
@@jamesbennett4379 oh wow i don’t know that! Wicked ebikes are beasts no doubt. They are doing well based on their website. Thanks for watching and comnenting😊.
I emailed CitizenCycle reference the removed videos. He said there was a “copyright issue”. Wicked e-bikes is now “Wired E-bikes. They also have a third color for the Freedom. I had a live chat with the company and the orders placed now will ship in May 2023, $200 preorder discount!
@@ZERUS1648 thank you for giving us this info! I was wondering about the name too, so i guess they figure it out. I just leave my videos on “Wired Ebikes” as is, and moving forward i will call it Wired Ebikes. I m not their employee or affiliate in anyway but just a customer like you and others. Thanks for sharing the info.
Nice!! This Ebike company knows what people want and at a good price.
Agreed! The company understands what needed and did it without crossing into E motorcycle or a very underpowered ebike. I agreed with your comment 100%
Thanks for a great video. And I really appreciate your help with unlocking the speed setting.
Just road my new WIRED FREEDOM EBIKE today. I'm super excited to try the RAILS TO TRAILS
in my area here in Southern Wisconsin .
Enjoy! It is a great bike!
I'm happy to find coverage of this new Wicked Cruiser. I am tall but like step thru ebikes so that I can use the rear rack and still get on and off easily. 1200 watt hour battery capacity should give good range at average speeds. And the 40a controller should provide 2400 watt max and 1200 watt continuous for hill climbing or high speeds. Looking forward to seeing more review video of this bike.
Will give update on next videos soon, thank you for watching !
That's a sweet ride MrM!
got mine today!!
Would like to see more of this bike, not many videos out there of this bike.
I m working on adding 2nd battery and that might will be next video. Or may be some ride out around town. Not sure yet. Thanks for watching :)
Got mine today
Thank you for your video. I also have a Kepler. Was thinking about buying this one. Because of the dual suspension and cruise control. The rear rack looks very small compared to the Kepler from the pictures I see. Can you tell me when you take off in pedal assist mode does it give you the power right away? On my Kepler, when I'm in pedal assist mode, it gives me a little bit at first but I have to Pedal more and it comes on kind of gradually. That is why I asked if the wicked e-bike gives you the power right off the bat when you pedal. Thank you.
You have to go into setting and do a few adjustment. I believe that after unlocking the speed limit, adjusting mph, temperature and tire diameter, you need to adjust C5 setting to 10 to max out throttle output that i found it take off from first twist, also C14 setting to 3 for pas taking off strong from first crank. Yes it has more power than Kepler. I got up to 35 mph with battery@ 59V, like 50% . Others have gone up to 37 mph but i have not gone that fast as i still pamper it. I m gonna add 2nd battery soon and also 2 nd video about settings how to make the bike fast because Wicked Ebikes sell it as class 2 and limited speed. Overall excellent bike no doubt, it is i believe slightly faster and stronger than Kepler if you do dual battery, but Kepler is still one of the best ebike out there besides this Wicked one. I love them both . Thanks for watching
Thanks for the video. I just ordered a Wicked Cruiser, and am watching your unboxing more closely. Do things seem to be dialed in: eg. front disc brakes, deraileur settings, etc., or did you have to make adjustments? Am going to ask if I can get the manual online, so I can review it before the bike shows up. Really looking forward to it.
It is very easy to assemble! Yes rear deraileur dialed in, but i have little problem with kickstand not staying deep enough to keep the bike. But i fixed it . The rest is all good. It is an awesome bike and very fast and powerful! Thanks for watching and commenting :)
My brakes weren’t dialed in. The front ones started squealing and a bike shop nearby just changed the pads for me. Not sure what happened but all is fixed now
Hey man please make a video when you add the second battery next year. I have the freedom and would love step by step guide. Thanks!!! This is wicked fast!
I will try to do it after i get 2nd battery
@@MrMtr999 thanks. Looking forward to it.
Hope it goes over 35 mph .. Very cool! Not sure how many 60v batteries are out there if you wanted to put on another one.
I got up to 30 mph on short test ride but with half full battery, will do the run again soon when weather permit. Oh yeah, you can get 60v battery from Wicked Ebikes or AliExpress (Reention dorado style) or blue brick type from UPP (my route for 2nd battery setup). Thanks for watching. Have a Merry Christmas 🎄
Already have two battery blenders. One is the same one that you have and the other is a quad 50 amps. I'm going to add a second battery. What are your thoughts about a brand for a second battery and I plan on using a bag. I'm also wondering if the wicked could handle 72 volts? I also like upp batteries!
I would use 60v to be safe, 72v you have to be sure your controller can handle. I would look for upp or some other reliable brand. Still looking but probably upp same the one i got on Kepler but 60 v instead.
Can you raise the handlebars?
Would you happen to know minimum seat height? I'm vertically challenged & trying to make a decision on the wired cruiser. Really enjoyed your videos. Ty
My guess 33”? It is a very big bike but with cruiser it is a lot easier to mount and dismount.
Did you put tire liners or armor in the wheels?
I never use those things on any my ebike tires, it is easier changing tubes on the road day or night than dealing with unnecessary liners or messy liquid. I carry tube kits and adjustable wrench with me when i ride ebikes.
I would like to this ebike
Do you know what devices you going to use to rig up two batteries? And the battery type and manufacturer?
Still looking, you will know when video comes out
Hey! I got my bike last week. I changed the settings to unlock the bike, but when I slightly hit the throttle it really jumps. Do you know what advanced setting will make this a bit smoother? Without drastically reducing the speed or anything? Thank you
Change c5 to 2, change c14 to 2 and c4 to 0. That is default setting i believe. You only change speed limit to 72 that is all you need.
@@MrMtr999 ah okay, thanks! I believe I had to change more on mine. When I got it I put the speed up to 72 and it was still capping me at 12 miles an hour. But thanks I’ll try that
@@MrMtr999 Thanks a lot! I think it’s C5 that limits the overall power. I like it at 8. It tops out at around 30 and still has plenty of torque. I am riding in Manhattan so I don’t need more speed than that. So far the bike is great, no issues. Thanks again for the advice!
@@newyorkvisionary you can bring c5 to 2 and still get 35-38 mph as long as you set speed limit to 72. I found that if you set those c5, c4, c14 more than default setting it can create noise in the motor, which means your setting is nit balanced. Try to take off from complete stop in pas3 or 5 throttle only can create those noise. But if you takes off from pas 1 then increase gradually it won’t have noise. In case you encounter this problem later. Manhattan is crowded so crowded please take care and be safe. Ebikes are everywhere in NYC!
@@MrMtr999 Thanks I changed it back to 2 and it’s riding fine so hopefully no issues. I’ll check for any noise. Yes wearing a helmet and being careful 🙏
Great video. I appreciate your time. Hardly anyone is making videos of this ebike. Which side of handlebars is rear brake? Thanks.
Rear brake lever is on the right side by the throttle. Thanks for watching😊
Thank you very much for the quick reply. I thought I saw you stop the wheel with the right level. All my other ebikes has the rear on the left. I thought it was a standard, but clearly the designer makes that call.
@@taknmyshot they are sweet hydraulic brakes, no problem at all. I will upload new video on this bike tomorrow i think about the ride and setting.
Bike arrived today. It's everything your described. I love it. My chainring only has outside guard. My understanding is the bike has two, inner and outer. What did yours have?
@@taknmyshot i only have outer guard for chainring but it really doesn’t affect the pedaling at all. Great to hear you like it. Any question feel free if i can answer. Congrats!!
Like to see how much range it has throttle only, thanks
For a single 20 ah battery throttle only, i would say 30-33 miles cause you can only use between 100%-40% of capacity, if you drain it below 40% you are destroying it or shortening its lifespan. You need 2 nd or 3 rd battery and use blender to keep them cool when throttle only for 30 mph or above and get at least 45-60 miles with dual setup or tri setup. A 20ah alone won’t last long on throttle only. They advertised 80 miles range only only pas1 not throttle. Hope this help and thanks for watching
What is the wheelbase dimension of the “Cruiser”?
Are there any recommendations for a class 3 (2”) bike carrier?
It has 26x4” tire so you need at least 4” carrier to accommodate it. But you can change tire to 26x3” but will cost additionally. Thank you for watching
Thanks for the response, however I may have been unclear with my question:
I am trying to evaluate bike carriers used for transporting a Wicked Ebike attached to the rear of a vehicle equipped with a a class 3 (2”) hitch.
Is the “wheelbase” dimension of the WICKED EBIKE greater than 50””
Many carriers (eg the “Hollywood”models) are limited to a max 50inch wheelbase
@@colleenwukela2473 i am not sure on that but thisWicked bike or Kepler are very huge bikes regardless of step thru or high step, they are vey tall bike and very difficult to put on bike trailer or rack on your car for out of town riding. I only see Kepler or Wicked put on F150 trunk with ratcheted tiedowns. I don’t drive truck or large car, hardly ever drive anymore so i can not give you the right answer. But you can call Wicked directly on their website number, they will give you the correct answer!
( i measured wicked from front wheel to rear wheel ground touch areas about 55”-56”) Thanks
Graci, MM999. I’ll follow up w/Wicked E.
I currently have the Kepler on order. I am considering cancelling the order and going with this bike. Your thoughts?
Either one is great, no disappointment! But the Wicked is shipping same week arriving same week! And they respond quicker than AR. Wicked chat channel works well. Both bikes will go about 30 mph plus and easy to add 2nd battery. I will add my 2nd battery to Wicked Cruiser next year. Also Wicked has voltage read on lcd screen and temperature. You have to make decision bud… both bikes are great . I love them both🙏
Thanks for the advice. Looking forward to your next video.
I noticed that there was a sticker that said 750W class 2 above the battery. Shouldn't it be 1000W?
Wicked sold the bikes to you as class 2 per ebike laws in the US. They also stated about whose responsibility on its website. You want faster bike you have to unlock inside settings at your own risk, and responsibility. All ebikes companies do similar methods when sold to USA
Can the rear shock be locked out or disengaged?
This is cruiser, there is no rear shock, the Freedom has rear shock
Could you tell me how well the cruise control works please?
I don’t use cruise control, it is dangerous with traffic surrounding you. Always 100% alert. Imho. Thanks for watching :)
Does it have a brake light?
Yes, brake light comes on when pressing brakes
Hey do you know if as long as i cover my battery and electronics that this bike will be ok in the rain?
Get three 8 “ plastic sandwich bags and put them over brake right and left handle bars, and lcd screen secured with rubber bands each and you are good to go. Medium down pour is just about good, try to avoid severe storm. If you can not see roads, rain that thick you gotta wait till it is light to go out. Get yourself quality cyclist poncho ($99-$130 type, don’t buy junk) and rain pants and boot covers, those will save your commute.
@@MrMtr999 Wicked is lucky to have you as an affiliate. Thank you so much! Any reccomendations for a battery cover?
I am so happy i didnt ride in the rain lol
@@CONSCIOUS_TALK_ENT. i m not their affiliate. I bought it for commute. Old ribber tube used for battery cover
I need a new left brake lever contacted the company several times no response need help
Once I watched your video again, it looks like there was not a whole lot of protection in that box. just the thin pieces of Styrofoam around some pieces
. I didn't see any thick pieces of foam nowhere in that box.
They were not filmed buddy, i took them off and off camera may be, but the bike has 0 damage. First time i have no damage from ordering online. Awesome bike and better than Kepler, though i still live my Kepler for sure. 😊
I received the WIRED FREEDOM EBIKE yesterday and. Great bike for the money! Only very minor damage from shipping. Cargo rack was bent , I didn't even realize it until today. Love the bike!
Is this better than Rundeer's E-bike?
I never own Rundeer! But look at specs Wired is a lot faster and cheaper! Wired has wait time that you might not be able to handle if you want shipped fast. It really depends on what you need. Thanks for watching
Do you know what the weight limit is?
Take a look at Wicked website. I guess if you are under 300 lbs, you should be fine. My guess. Please look at their website, i forgot this part. I m not expert on the bike, i just bought and rode like everybody else. Only knows what need to know. Thanks for watching:)
How heavy is the bike.
77-80 lbs
If u guy have any concern.....
Hello sir how i purchase this ebike in Italy
wickedebikes.com/products/wired-cruiser-black
Please contact them. Thanks for watching
@@MrMtr999 them do not ship to Italy 🥺
@@PunjabSingh-4430 the box weigh almost 100 lbs, it will be enormous amount of money to ship from US. May be you find something from China and get it shipped from there. Good luck sir
My bad, looks like no rear shock?
Definitely not gonna win any beauty awards.
👍
The two most worthless aspects of an ebike are how quick and/or how fast it is. Both do little but take away from the maximum range obtainable. I've found that people who focus on the top speed or how quick ebikes are don't ride much and since this bike can only be ridden off-road or licensed as a moped with yearly taxes and insurance that makes sense. I'm just surprised anyone would spend 2K on this kind of toy. What good is an ebike if you can't ride anywhere you want?
@@MrMtr999 If the motor is over 750W on any ebike it's not Class-1 and can't be legally operated on most pedestrian infrastructure regardless of state laws. Even if it's just a hub motor. That includes all city, state, and federal parks and national forests. States have the right to make more stringent laws and regulations but they can not make ebike laws and regulations *less* stringent.
*"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 (32 km/h), and electric motors that produce less than 750 watts."*
I know Florida is a little... different when it comes to most things but it's still part of America. Of course, you're not going to be stopped and inspected by police unless your riding like an ass, but the second you're involved in any situation or accident that either police or worse insurance companies are contacted you would be at fault.
I've ridden over 42K miles on a single ebike over the past 7 years... if you get it right you don't need to own a group of low-end rides and I've been stopped in 4 different states while riding. You focused on the two most worthless aspects (in my opinion) probably because you're trying to make money recommending things you don't seem to understand well and I focused on everything else and riding. Are any of your ebike made to ride all day or are they all little baby SUVs with no torque?
Not sure why you deleted your comment I replied to... regrouping or did you actually learn that you're talking nonsense?
Brian please help me understand how this bike can’t be road everywhere?? Haha weirdo bet you were first in line for you vaccine
Nice review! Do you like this better than kepler? I'm choosing between the two.
Both bikes are fast but Wicked has a higher torque than Kepler so it will climb hill better than Kepler. Both bikes go 17-19 mph on Pas1, and faster according to pas that increase. I got 35-36 mph on Kepler with dual batteries, and i got up to 32-33 mph on Wicked cruiser but just one battery, so they probably run about the same in mid 30 mph with dual batteries. Built quality very similar but Wicked read battery in voltage not percentage like Kepler that is a plus. If you want to add more battery and want more power the Wicked is definitely will give more due to its 40a controller. But Kepler is no less significant by any means, both bikes shred ! I love them both ! Hope this help. Also Wicked has brake light when pressed brakes like Kepler also and Wicked headlight is little better than Kepler
Good luck. 👍 both bikes are awesome
@@MrMtr999 thanks bro that's was huge helps both bike neck to neck it's going to tough choice lol
@@coolshariq i will do more videos soon the wicked cruiser, right now just ride to work and home, it definitely shred. Off road fat tire is the bomb. I ride mostly pas1 and 2 and burst up to 30 mph occasionally. Cruiser battery is very very good. The throttle responds immediately no relation to pas setup, you can readjust them on KT lcd8h insideadvanced setting when unlimiting the speed limit
Nice looking bike! Looking forward to your next video. Curious about hill climbing, real world range, seat comfort. I always have to change out seat and add suspension seat post, but this looks pretty comfortable.
@@johnfreed4651 please watch Citizencycle videos he has done range test on freedom that bike has exact specs like my cruiser. I don’t have time to do range test to burn battery, that test is very time consuming. But he did 36 miles on 1 battery. Also get your choice suspension seat post and your choice seat and you are good to go, the bike ride like a king. I love it .
