it iz truly amazing to see how far we've come with the evolutions of bycycle develupments
Nice cycling, after being a pedal monster for the last 20 years I think I"ll buy a wired freedom too! Great video.
Great video, I've been eyeballing this bike for awhile now. Think ill go for it.
The new bikes have a new frame with slightly longer back stays creating plenty of clearance! Also, they now come with an Acera derailleur and an 11 cog. The rack is new and the rear fender now attaches to the rack securely and does not flop around. They also switched to Samsung cells, need to adjust settings so battery meter is accurate. Every batch has had improvements and now the bike is perfect!!!!
Lots,of people are saying that the motor won't last long since it's so powerful . Any answer to that?
@@dawhoda1I have the same motor but it’s a 1000 watt and 1800 peak on my xclass it last well had it 4 years now and it’s still a beast
Great videos. I have narrowed it down to this brand. Thank you
I love my Blue Wired Freedom ... You got the feel for it fast 50 miles ''rideon'' Grrrrrrreat Review !
Got mine yesterday, coming from the Rattan LM750. Going to get a ride in now!
Thanks for the comment!
i love it im planing on getting one
I Love your Video Thank you for Posting 💯💢💥💫👍
I love the videos I love to end up in such a gifts about the bike that you're right in that the problem studied faces keep them up keep. Up the good work love to videos nothing else to say.
I put the settings back down close to factory and took it easy but only got about 22 miles out of the battery. I still had some juice left over but I was trying to keep it above 20% Seems like the milage is better when its maxed out. I did enjoy the peddeling , its what biking should be like. I'm stoked to see what wired comes up with next.
Microphone sounds good ! Really can't see screen but sometimes in the the shaded areas. Thanks for the review and looking forward to the shock and fender fix.
Thanks for watching!
thanks for the heads up on the tire and controller issue my Freedom is coming in August.
The models shipped this August have corrected this issue. They will come with longer shock.
That's great
Howdy, I'm new to your channel... obviously!
I just subscribed today and I watched several of your videos starting with the one where you unpack and assembled the Wired e-bike.
I've been doing some shopping and looking around for an e-bike to purchase, one that will give me lots of power and lots of distance.
Right now I've narrowed it down to the Wired e-bike or aniido 177 ( I'm sure I'm misspelling the name).
But it has (177) a reputation of going a hundred miles on a single charge but most of the videos I've watched on it it's range has toped in about 90 miles or a little less but if I remember correctly and only tops in at about 28 to 32 miles an hour.
I look forward to your range text on the Wired e-bike.
Later.
Thanks for subscribing. I will be doing a throttle only range test next week. Should have a video up shortly if it.
The 2024 model has fixed the controller cover problem, but I believe that you can stiffen the air pressure on the shock you have to help prevent some of that.
I kind of wished the tires were a little bit smaller... how hard would that be to do? probably would help with the contact with controller too
Thank you. You are the first person to give a review that didn't feel paid.
I really appreciate it!!
very nice video - thank you
yeah I have a couple 750 watt ebikes - but admit I like the step thru more [ez on n off - Im older :o ]
Ive been thinking of adding a wired type ebike to my collection.
my 750 watts are legal in many USA parks, trails ect. . .
I have a 4 wheeler too [still not registered tho] Ive a bit of property & surrounded with logging roads & trails.
my current ebikes are fine for their purpose. buut
Im really liking the wired cruiser [it looks like a great step thu] Im hoping it "might" be an ok logging road rider? you know the dirt roads with more steep grades And maybe some moderate trail use?
I have seen the wired goes fast and is ok on paved streets, But how will it be on the occasional steep up to 23% grades? [a short distance tho] will the wired let me go where a logging truck can go?
[I have a 4 wheeler for extreme skid trail use, been there n road it there many times] too much for an ebike]
Im hoping the wired can take me up the logging roads - there are many around this area (North Idaho)
Ive my "legal" ebikes for their purpose, but want a good trail n dirt road ebike.
perhaps you? or maybe you know someone that can make some good recommendations for me?
Ive been eyeballing the wired cruiser & kinda waiting to see "if" it might fit my off road purpose?
Also open to other suggestions.
maybe I need to get a mid drive ebike - Im seeing there are some near the same price as the wired.
being fast isnt my thing, better hill climbing & cruising trails, dirt roads are my tourist kinda thing.
Thanks Max great video was wondering if the mirror just screws in or is there some modification to the end of the handle bar grip
They just slip into the end of the bar and a screw in the mirror expands when tightened. Hope this helps
Question: Does the Freedom lose speed going up a moderate Hill?
I am getting black freedom in August, I ordered from a guy on FB wired group a waterproof cover for the display. It's $25 comes in a few colors.When I get it I am going to put a polarizer film on it
I would love the info on the polarized film
I too need a link for polarizer filter plz.
I live in Colorado and we have bad thorns, has anyone tried the Tannus tube protectors?
That's why you should always wear socks with sandals while riding motorcycles or ebikes. It's for safety as well as style. You also may want to angle the camera up a tad, all we see is the ground and the front fender.
I can only say good things about Wired customer service. Had my 2024 model 3 weeks.
Thinking about getting a wired bike. Which state are you in? I have a Rad Rover now. In OBX North Carolina need a little bit more speed to go on the road to the beach. 40 mph would be perfect. Thanks for video Good info!! ✌️
Isn't the horn button on the bottom of the left controller?
Do you think the handlebars can be tilted enough towards you to have a more upright seating position?
The seating position should be upright..they’re bmx bars. You could always replace them with any bars anyway..they’re all standardized
I would move the controller box to under the down Tube, then buy a RockShox or Manitou air shock. I'm almost positive you will get some good travel at least 100mm.
i may do that and it looks pretty easy to do. should be here soon.
The suspension is totally different on the new bikes.. My only thing with the mirror where it is at is that it can catch stuff.. I probably want the mirrors to go up even if I have to tilt to a side..
I have heard multiple people say that UPS damages their bikes.. I have also heard multiple people say that Wired will send replacement parts..
Yes, I spoke with the wired company yesterday, and was told that the new bikes will have the longer shock (not two)
Thanks for the update
@@maxnoutdoors You are welcome.
i would love to put cafe racer handlebars on it, swap out some things with carbon fiber, giver a 5 lbs weight reduction and relocate the controller. Thoughts on that?
Sounds like a cool idea
At 1500 watts to throttle only what is the approx range?
Hey Max, What is that "X" shaped thing on your handle bars?
Cell phone holder.
Great video. Can you tell me what the stand over height is. Be nice to know the fit for someone around 5' 6". Thanks for a respone.! Love the upgrades .
the website says 5 foot 4 min. rider height. you might want the step through.
I’m unsure but it’s definitely a tall bike. I’m 5’9” and tippy toe the bike but my suspicion seat post also sits a little high. Hope this helps
Appreciate the vids. Mic is great. Im like you in terms of throttle. What is your average mileage with just throttle?
Thanks for the comments. Range is not bad being so powerful. I think a more realistic range is 30ish give/take miles on a full charge with all the max settings running. BUT.. they will be the funnest 30 miles you could have on a e-bike at this price.
Can you buy it in the uk? I have read its $250 shipping fee in America alone. I wont be paying that i am sure
Where are you that you had these beautiful parks?
factory settings on mostly flat ground at max speed 25/28 mph can you get 18 to 20+ miles with out a dead battery
This is the older version bike but vid was only 2 months ago?
@manxoutdoors. If you were to do it all over again, would you buy one again? From my research, the 2024 model has many new improvements, including the distance between the tire and the controller box. I'm looking for my first ebike, and 2 of my 5 choices are Wired and the Himiway. I'm in the Kommunist state of Kalifornia and they are starting to clamp down in Ebikes. Kalifornia wants "green," but on their terms. I have a Mustang for their "green" problem.. 😂😂
The new version of wired bikes is coming soon i think they will start shipping in June, it will have dual suspension on the cruiser version, dual battery on both versions, some other new improvements based on people feedback of issues, as for ebike crackdown you just need to be smart, dont use ebike whom looks like motorcycle, wired is good example since its looks like regular bike, in city where is police ride slowly, use bike lanes etc..if you want some speed fun go in some back roads where is more quite, crackdowns happening because people go crazy on ebikes going fast on pedestrian walks, bike lanes, hitting people, killing themselves and others.
Hi quick question: do you happen to remember around what time of the month (I'm assuming the May release) your Freedom ebike was out for shipping? I've preordered the August release and was looking to see if i could get a general point of comparison to when i may get mine. Thanks!
I'm waiting on my shipment also.. All they say is expected to ship in august.. I read one comment that it might be september..
@@joeschmuckatelli3198 hmm, yeah. Only time will tell.
I messaged steven last week and he did assure me they would ship in august but would not give a date. the last shipment was held at the canadian border for some reason. I too have one coming in black and i have bought all kinds of goodies for it. it better come soon or i'm going to go broke buying accessories. lol
@@timothywarehime5956 Haha, good to hear. Hope you have fun with yours!
i got a cafe lock for it from rad and a mounting solution from abus. rad has the only cafe lock for 4 inch tires. looking forward to find a way to fit.
@@Simon_Squared
Where you get the back bag? Do you need a different rack to go with it?
I put a link in the description of the video to buy the bag
How's the hill climbing power?
can you tell us the length of bike please. I am surprised it isn't listed on website.
Could you do a video on the rear shock replacement? I read on the website that it is a 160mm shock and wonder if that was the original before the replacement. What is the length of the new shock and what would be the max length this bike would take. If you could please measure the clearance after the install of the new shock. Meaning how much room is left before it hits the frame. Thanks.
I’ll be post this actually video no later than Friday.
one good thing about the bike is that it uses about the cheapest derailer there is. They sent me a 2023 freedom instead of a step through cruiser and it looks like the 2023 is bigger when side by side my 2024.
used to ride my dirtbikes and fourwheeler on the country back roads, them damn fullsize grasshopers to the eye that really hurts i dont miss that one bit you only make that mistake once
I'm trying to get a sense of how easy or difficult the bike would be to pedal without power on pavement. I understand the wired freedom weighs 88 lbs. When it runs out of juice, would you ride it home, walk it home, or park it and fetch your pickup. What kind of speed would you be able to maintain just on pedal power. Would love to try one before ordering.
Alex from Arnold.
I don't have this bike but I do have a velotric nomad, which is a 73lb fat tire E bike. pedaling with 0 assistance is fine, as long as you're in gear 1-3. it is probably about 15% more difficult to pedal than a normal, non ebike road bike. it's definitely doable.
you're not going to go past 12mph pedaling without assistance. but idk why you would buy an ebike and not use pedal assist
@@cynic256… about 20% of my usage is for transport and shuttle while fly fishing in waders. It’s no fun to pedal in waders. They are hot and restrictive. I also use the bike when RVing for a trip to the grocery with panniers fully loaded with heavy throttle usage especially on a hot day when I want to get perishables back to the refer. The eBike provides a great mixed functional utility for me. When I want some exercise I can. Oh yea, I’m also 70 years old with many, many years of MTB, XC and Downhill experience. Your opinion may evolve as you expand your usage and age.
I have a couple fat tire ebikes & yeah you can pedal without power [when/IF you HAVE to]
on another note:
gee Ive recently seen guys run out of battery & their pedal assist/motor was off, BUT their headlights still worked! that was good to know as that is my biggest concern.
but yes you can still get home on pedal power - its possible. much slower & tough as the ebikes are heavier & im 63 so for some reason Im just not full of power as I used to be !?!
best to not let the battery run out - but stuff happens
Do you think it could be used as a hunting bike . For pulling a deer out on a trailer?
I would imagine it could pull a deer in a deer cart. I haven’t tried it though. My buddy uses his e-bike to do just this but it’s not a wired bike
thanks for the video. Wear that head and eye pro 100% of the time bro, stay safe out there
Thanks for the comment!
I'm new to 😮 electric bikes, but I really think you need a full suspension bike on electric bike.
I can not wait to buy this thing … my goodness
Ridiculously fun
I'f I didn't know better, u sound like Vince Vaughn 😊
I need Range of 70 Mile Round Trip range in PAS 2.
In PAS 2 with New Dual Battery setup Will this Bike Make It 🤔 ? ?
We shall know soon enough...
As a longtime ebike rider for many years handle bar end mirrors end up getting broken because everyone will drop their bike .
Yep reason why now use the Corky Urban they fold into the bar end. Beside wipeouts you can break those handlebar mirror just riding as I like to go though narrow spaces where only a couple of inches of space and found mirror usually hits pole, or tree, or branches as they stick out to much and then they vibrate just riding as cheap mounting at least the one that clamp to handle bar. Yes you can push mirror not to stick out but then you end up blocking what you see. The Corky Urban haven’t had issues as can fold into bar end when going through tight spaces and don’t vibrate so nice and stable and can see behind you without me blocking view.
Maybe it’s because I’ve been riding motorcycles since ‘89 but I use mirrors that stick out like this guy and I’ve never broken one off. I find having the mirror stick out from the side gives you a much better view than something that goes under the bar (or on your helmet). The only negative I’d say for that type of mirror is it’s fiddly to get through a door, you can’t just walk straight through.
@@zugmeister314 Motorcycle never break them but on the roads. A e-bike mostly ride trails and sometimes sidewalks so going though narrow spaces at times. Do still have a mirror that sticks out on the side as can see behind me without me blocking view but folds in handlebars end when not needed and don’t have to worry about snapping off, if go to close to pole as can fold in, or tree as some sidewalks are narrow and a couple inches away from poles. It small but gets job done and shockingly wide view for being a small mirror.
Never cared for mirrors that are inwards handlebars or under as you block view and can’t see off to the side well.
How many miles?
Good video. I have a Amp Rides Apex. Its similar to your Wired ebike. I wanted that bike. But I prefer 20x4 ebikes. The Hengtai gear hubbed moters have insane power. Mine is 1500w compared to your 1000w. I had to turn in my Suntour SP12. I weigh 200 pounds but it was rated for 220. It couldn't stay in place. Then it scratched the paint off my rear rack because it was leaning back too far. I heard Steve is thinking about making a 20x4 tire ebike. That would be awesome.
The wired Freedom has a claimed peak rating of 2,000 watts. CZcamsr CitizenCycle unlocked his Wired Freedom and was seen in one of his video reading a peak output of 2,200+ watts. Typically the nominal wattage of a motor is around 2/3 of the peak wattage. So the Wired Freedom most likely produces around 1,500 (nominal) watts.
If wired made a 4” model I’d definitely have to check it out. Until then I’m loving the freedom model. Thanks for the comments!
U should make a video of the amp rides apex no videos on it yet 😬
@@DriverJ-N I was thinking about making a video. You and a few other people suggested I make a video. I believe I will
Serfas E Gel seat, Vastfire 3 led rechargable light
What I'd like to know,... what's it take to put an extra 60v battery on the Freedom?? Do THAT for us Max.
Was thinking of this same video
Can't see your max? Did you get up to 40mph?
Yes hit 40.9mph
Yeah fat tires can get a little muddy in the hard terms, it's a weird feeling
is Wired Freedom made by US company or Chinese company?
How short can a rider be with the default seat?
I’m about 5’10”. I would imagine someone 5’6” and up would fit on this.
@@maxnoutdoors great thanks, I'm 5'7 and I've read various complaints about some of these e-bikes sitting up too high, and I'm thinking of ordering this one. Will you continue to update us on the durability? thanks!
how many miles did you ride in this video ?
8.6 miles
I have seen CZcamsrs just use iPhone wired earbuds with a fuzzy pop filter that worked well. If you are filming with an iPhone that is.
Thanks for the advice
Does it have cruise control
Yes. Just hold down for 2-3 seconds on the selector button while going over 10mph and cruise control will engage
Would have been nice to actually see the speedometer, the display isn’t bright at all. Please increase the brightness for the next videos.
Be careful bud I swerved to miss a tire indention on a side road it had a hump 4 inches high on each side I slid on the stones and dust broke 7 ribs shoulder and shoulder blade ruptured my lungs hitting the two humps at 35 mph
Get new MTB pedals, stock ones are cheap looking and have little traction. Consider upgrading to 203mm front rotor, you can buy the same model Tektro rotors online and a 160-203 adapter for about $40. The larger rotor gives you greater stopping power and better heat dissipation. Leave the back at 180 as it’s a pita and not really needed. The existing brakes are very good, relatively light bike and 180mm rotors are well matched but 203 front is better. These are really good performance upgrades. If you like to pedal at high speed, you can also upgrade to a 11-28 freewheel.
Thanks for your input. Will definitely look into these
I don’t care for the high BMX handlebars. When I get my Freedom, I’m going to set it up with MTB bars.
Pre order shows it won’t be available until November smh. Guess I’ll buy an ecotric bison
That bike sucks in comparison!! 48v 17.5 amp hour is a little kids bike or one for the wife. Lots of demand, no competition and a low price means you gotta wait. Wired should really raise their prices.
I only pretend to pedal when I'm passing by a chick 😎
Probably all of us lol. Thanks for the comment
You’ll never lose women chasing money but you’ll always lose money chasing women. You’re welcome
by the looks of all these videos i belive all these bike are made at the same place and labled to the customers name preference for more money
Its goes 40mph?
37ish mph
I heard the motors give out and Steve ghosts people afterwards
Interesting rumor because I have not heard anyone say that in any videos or social media. Where did you hear that?
@@AKJJSIM some guy on a CZcams video, he said his motor gave out and Steve was being helpful at first and he had sent his motor back but got back the same one and steve basically ghosted him afterwards
And I thought 27:37 was a fart relief port.....
Dying laughing
3:12 Cutting up thp of my toe.....(pins it in anger)😅
it's the seazun
Yeh you should go back to the wired seat and send me your C9 with shock seat post. I laugh at the thought of it arriving here and then you being as totally miserable in 20 minutes as I was with the wired seat, it totallly SUCKS, I’ve never had a seat my entire life that was as bad as the wired seat, it was not near as good as my new cloud 9, but still send it I’ll take the extra and mount it on my handle bars for my girl.
This bike needs a torque sensor.
Definitely don’t disagree
You really go out of your way to find every single wired freedom video.... To say it needs a torque sensor... Don't buy the fucking bike if you don't like it..
.CZcams needs a dork sensor for people like you..
there is another guy who says it pulls to the left all the time on every single video. trolls. probably paid trolls by rad. @@joeschmuckatelli3198
I actually rode a prototype high power bike with a torque sensor and it was basically unrideable at high power. Every downstroke would cause the bike to surge violently, very unsettling. Imo the wattage PAS used by Wired is perfect for high powered bikes. This bike definitely does not need a torque sensor!

First you ride with flip flops. Now you have crocks on.. Perhaps there's a man Bun to go with it?
Lol. No man bun
@@maxnoutdoors I've never seen a man bun... Who wasn't wearing crocks...or flip flops.. In all seriousness, what is your weight? I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on this bike I think..
@@joeschmuckatelli3198 I weigh 220
Dude, the "stop" signs actually mean stop, not slow down to 15 and go! How long before you're dead?
'Promosm'
screw electric
all garbage components!!
Really ? this or raev bullet gtx ?
the motor was designed in house by wired. tektro hydraulic 180 mm seems better than most at this price. drive train is better than most at this price point. hate on brother.

What a compelling argument.
