For me, I think the intent of eBikes are for a more enjoyable exercise. All these reviews/videos, no one is pedaling or talking about it. and that’s why I think so many people dislike them on trails.
steve is great will always call you back have talked to him a few times i have 2 of these bikes and there a beast nice vid
You guys in America are so fortunate to have such a wide range of ebikes including the Wired Freedom to buy, because the rest of us in Europe are unable to buy these ebikes due to shipping restrictions limited to US and Canada only! If the Wired Freedom was available for shipping to Europe, I would buy it in a heartbeat!
Sorry to hear that. It’s a great bike that I hope you get to try out one day!
@@maxnoutdoors I hope so too 🙏🏿
I heard a guy in the UK talking about the speed limit being a problem too. I forgot what he said the maximum allowed speed was but it was something crazy like 25.5 kph. Some of these e-bikes like (especially) this one go much faster. So sorry to hear about these crazy restrictions.
@@ChristmasEve777 You are correct. Ebikes are legal if the power assist is only active up to 15 mph, and beyond that speed the power assist has to switch off. So you can ride faster than 15 mph by pedal power only! It's a damn stupid law and it needs to be challenged!
With the way people drive these ebikes, regulations will surely restrict them in the US.
Going to get one myself. Thanks for making the video
Enjoy it
Just found your channel. Liked & subbed😉
Awesome! Thank you!
Was going to get the kepler but i think im getting the wired freedom
AR Kepler is no slouch at all in top speed. The Wired do have bigger motors, controllers, batteries. Wired is Stronger off the line and up inclines.
Same here..
I was thinking the same thing
IMO. Guys are missing the whole point of the e-bike intention. It's meant for a leisurely quiet ride through nature and its surroundings. Not meant to be speeding down the street or over bumps and hills like some maniac in heat. If you want that kind of excitement, buy a motorcycle. Sooner or later because everybody's buying these illegal bikes, they're going to ruin it for the rest of the people that are buying these e-bikes for their original purpose. They're going to be making us buy insurance registrations and special e-bike licensees with age limits. Too many people are getting hurt or killed because of the adolescent speed mentality of law breakers.
@@oliverlloyd8762 um I’m from The Bahamas 😑 💯 % street legal were i am from
Great riding video!! Took my Freedom to my local bike store to have them check it out and they were blown away by the quality of construction and it’s 60v system. They could not believe it was only $2000. The bike shop was selling a weak ass 500w 48v rear hub for $1499. Btw, the grips are one of my favorite parts of the bike, I wouldn’t have noticed the slight protrusion if you hadn’t mentioned it.
Did you mention the placement of the controller and how the rear tire tears it up on that?
Maybe for the screw issue on the right side put some electric tape around the area that the screw is. It might give some padding against scrapping your hand.
I was thinking a little 3D printed part, maybe with semi-flexible resin.
I bought one & the Rambo cart
which bike is better for commuting the billy goat ebike or the wired freedom
Yo, like this vid man. suggest gloves for the screw tho.
Good suggestion. Will try. Thanks
Good bike I think. 👍😎
I think so too!
I love my wired ebike just do me a favor for everyone who has one I almost busted my head open wired put the rear finder on so I didn't check it and the vibration worked the screw or whatever they use off and it went around tire lost traction and jamed tire to a sudden stop so zip tie as well
Yes!! Remove completely or remove metal supports and drill a couple of holes and zip tie to rack. Also, make sure to keep the handlebar mount as tight as possible. After 500 miles, these are the two safety issues I have encountered. It would be nice to see Wired proactively address the rear fender issue.
Same thing happened to my rack.
since you mentioned your weight... about the same here... what kind of actual milage/ time can you get on a full charge?
Yes "ups" sucks they sent me texts every single day for almost 2 weeks saying it's arriving today , so I went to my downtown office after a week to investigate . My guy I go to all the time tracked it himself and said that it had arrived in my city twice and now it's in Colorado (wtf) . When it finally arrived 10 days after first notification the box had been opened all the way up and taped closed . I believe that they smashed it because the plastic that is used for protecting the the axle was so far crammed into the quick release holes that I had to literally drill them out . I also had some deep scratches and the tail light bracket was crooked so when I tried to slightly straighten it , it broke off . My derailleur protector was smashed all the way against the derailleur . Thank God nothing major was wrong with it and I fixed all the issues along with fabricating my own rear tail light bracket . I too seen the videos of this kid bad mouthing the owner which gave me some concern especially when he went on about the motor issues . So far I'm pleased with the bike , love the take off power cause I'm at 250 lbs. and my Himmway Cruiser just seemed to take all day to get up to 28 even with a KD718 display .
I WEIGH THE SAME AS YOU.
WHAT IS THE TOP SPEED YOU get with the Wired?
I'm waiting to get mine any day now.
Sorry about the upper case
This is the 1st ebike that I've seen that is worth the money. Finally full suspension and it says 2000 peak but I would want to know the continuous but still I like it. A company that finally listened to the market.
Peaks at well over 2300 and holds 1900 ish continuous. That’s why it goes 40.
It absolutely is worth the money
Does not look to me the e-bike was damaged in shipping . The box was in excellent condition. Double boxed. You should easily be able to dump the box upside down with no damage to that rack. Would take huge pressure to bend that. issues i saw with packing is there should have been around 3 inches of foam material . Across the whole top of the inside box. Where the derailer is there should also have been a solid 2 inches of foam on the sides . Check out how juiced bikes packs there e-bikes. No damage at all. This wired ebike uses 2 boxes but seriously lacks protective foam layers on the inside. 3 inches on top and 2 inches on the sides. There would be no damage. Odd though , the packing box was in great shape. Some of the damage looks wired related and not the shipping .
Remember the Freedom is all off road look with the full suspension and fat tires. The Freedom suspension is barely adequate for flat surfaces. It's good to upgrade it for riding off road. Flat Out should be used before it even hits any pavement.
Wonder how it would perform w/ a 2,000 watt front hub, separate batt.& separate display ? AWD Freedom ...Great on Hills + even faster on flat, level rd...🍉
What is the clicking noise that I hear? TIA
I'm still looking for a dual motor full suspension bike. Can find like a 500 watt or 750 watt 48V with dual suspension.. But nothing besides the Grizzly with dual suspension 52V or 60V with dual suspension. Fabulous E Bikes has 48V 500 dual motors with dual suspension or 60V 750 watt dual motors... but front only suspension. I can wait till there is a dual suspension dual motor 60 volt.😁 I don't like the motorcycle bikes or non adjustable long seat bikes..
Wow a $2000 ebike that's faster than most of these overpriced emoped bikes..i think this is going to be my next ebike
It’s so much fun. Great Choice
What camera are you using to record this video? Looks very clear
Actually just a newer IPhone and a plug in Amazon mic.
@@maxnoutdoors iPhone 13 or 14? Nice!
@@RandomMotoThings actually just an old 10 Max
Does it have the mounting holes for a back rack?
No. Velcro
I'm thinking about purchasing a Wired Freedom, but I'm wondering about ghost peddling.
I almost never ride my current ebike like a moped (throttle only). I like to utilize PAS. As such, I'm wondering if the gearing on the Freedom allows for higher speeds (35-40 mph range) while utilizing PAS and *WITHOUT* ghost peddling.
Can you address this for me. I'd appreciate it very much!
I mostly just use throttle with very little PAS. HOWEVER, I have been able to put it in the highest PAS setting and gear at the highest and pedaling was very easy at 30mph. 35-40 you can definitely get to I believe but maybe a little to fast if pedaling.
Thank you sir!
@@OpenmindedHusker1feeling to about 32mph in pedals. I am planning on changing the freewheel to 11-28, $30 Amazon, at next tire change which should prevent ghost pedaling at top speed.
@@jfly2249 - That should definitely help. Best of luck ...and stay safe out there! Thanks for the response.
Are you in Wa state?
What's that clicking noise?
You can move the display to one side if you wanted?
Yes you can
Are you peddling it or you’re just using the throttle all the time?
Most of the time just using throttle
Can you pedal with the battery dead?
Yes
What is the constant clicking noise throughout the video? Is it the bike? Thanks.
It’s the rear fender smacking around. It’s terrible
@@maxnoutdoors awful. drove me nuts...
thanks for replying.
@@maxnoutdoorsill a couple of holes in your fender, remove the wire holders and zip tie the fender tightly to the rack. The bike will eat that rear fender if you don’t. Alternatively, just remove the rear fender and ride with a bag.
What battery cells are these? I won’t touch anything that isn’t atleast lg quality
They use lg on that bike and the new model has Samsung battery
These are going to make the e bike laws even more strict.
Is that the rear fender?
It’s the rear fender. Sounds pretty bad. I got to figure something else out
That clanking noise is annoying. I’d have to fix that.
Running two stop signs
Your killing me lol
@@maxnoutdoors funny huh
Whats the range like?
Not to 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.
You should remove the metal holders for the rear fender, drill some small holes and zip tie rear fender to the bottom of the rack. Alternatively, just remove the rear fender completely and use a bag in bad weather. The rear fender is dangerous flopping around like that! The one thing I hate about this bike. I hope they figure out a better design for future batches.
Are fenders absolutely necessary? I think they are ugly lol
I can’t agree more about the rear fender. It is terrible. Thanks for the advice
Y'all be complainin about a rear fender? LOL at least it keeps the rain off just chill and renforce
It does not need a rear fender anyway, especially if you keep a bag on the rear rack. It was a pain to remove it - had to totally deflate the rear tire to get to the allen screws that held it to the rack.
New Wired shipments will include metal fenders. Thoughts? Seems like it’s more important to have the design (attachment) squared away than the type of fender material.
Is the battery removable?
Yes it removes very easily with the turn of a key
@@maxnoutdoors thank you
Or the mic in your helmet
This bike needs a torque sensor
Too bad you could only get that awful blue color, they should have more color options
typical biker......running stop signs
Can it be pedal or just electric
You can easily pedal it like a regular bicycle or no pedaling like a throttle moped/motorcycle. The Freedom step over frame is better for pedaling than the step through frame Cruiser IMHO.
Both
