[@Hubjeep]

Thanks for the video! I ordered my standard frame (17") base model in blue on July 1st. The website said call for inventory (very nice people in Nevada picked up the phone), there were two blue ones in port, shipped on the 5th of July, arrived on the 11th! The only thing I would like to upgrade is the headlight.

[@BoardGameCasualChannel]

Great video! I can’t wait for mine to arrive! 😎

[@shootthechit]

When do you get yours?

[@BoardGameCasualChannel]

@@shootthechit Not sure. I ordered at the end of March, but was told the blue color was in high demand, so it might take a little longer. And since it hadn't been built yet, I recently decided to pull the trigger on the dual battery setup deal.

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

Entertaining and educational. Love it! 🙂

[@Joerides7]

The chainslap on this bike is insane. A cassette and clutch rear derailleur would be a nice upgrade. Good news on the thru-axle for the front wheel, if that is confirmed then I'll place an order. I wanted nothing to do with a quick-release skewer or threaded axle with nuts. I was concerned about your cat, but finally did see it move.

[@pearldragon6138]

Hello, I’m new to your channel and looking to get my first e-bike. I want to say thank you for all the terrain you put the bike through. Especially a true hill test, I don’t live in a flat area 👍

[@TrentBoot]

@shootthechit I finally caved in & ordered the Five Star. I love your videos so of course I used your CHIT100 discount! I added the Dual Star Package mainly for the extra battery. I don't know enough about the quality difference between the forks to comment on that upgrade. I'm curious if I'll be satisfied with the LARGE headlight as I already have a small $40 headlight that many could say is too bright for traffic. I guess I'll find out in approximately 75 days hahaha. Keep on filmin' & I'll keep on viewin'!

[@shootthechit]

That's cool man, I'm sure you will have a ton of fun with it. That headlight looks huge so I'm sure it will be really bright

[@RV-ardvark]

Loved the pony analogy. 🤣

[@kickerwormz3262]

My decision is now clear. Between yours and other reviewers, it's a no-brainer. I plan on going with a custom color. I'm going to ask Dave about a different derailer and shift package. Another reason I'm getting an Ecell is that he offers a 5% discount, which is much appreciated. Now, to you living in the Delta. You better go fishing. I lived in Fresno for 29 years. We went to the Delta 2x a month for bass tournaments. I miss home and the Delta. Now I'm in Southern California, and it's garbage.

[@shootthechit]

I think I naturally repel fish. Every time I've gone out me and everyone else around didn't catch anything!

[@addertooth1]

The phrase you are reaching for is "A gusseted frame". This describes the extra plate on each end of the top tube which increases the surface area of the welds for strength. Gusseting reduces the odds of a frame weld crack ruining your day.

Great hill climb!

[@mustang24psi]

I think you’ll have to get the awd kit when it comes out.

[@anthonydanna4786]

Great review!! I'm going to order the 5 star step thru. Would you get the extra battery with crown front fork and upgrade rear suspension? Do you think those upgrades would make a big difference in the ride quality.

[@shootthechit]

I'm not sure about the front fork, but I think the basic DNM rear shock works quite well and wouldn't bother upgrading that one personally. The extra battery is going to depend on how far you tend to ride. If you want to go more than 30 miles in one ride, then get the extra battery

[@robertstewart3086]

Having a torque sensor and Dual crown fork option has me Really leaning toward the E-Cells. All the other specs seem to be apples for apples. (Give or take). Most of the other bolt on options are ez to change later on if so desired. Wish your test bike had the torque sensor so you could have given us your honest opinion of That setup.

[@iblackfeathers]

i just realised that some of those grassy trails reminds me of legend of zelda: breath of the wild / tears of the kingdom. awesome view. you gave a shout out to “electrocuted latina” 😂. is a parody coming soon? lol your quick release front wheel might be better for you security-wise if you can lock your front wheel with your rear wheel on the rear of the frame. you might be able to spray sound deadening material on the underside of the fenders. thanks for the review.

[@shootthechit]

Thanks.. I've heard people spray that rubberized coating on the fenders to help, but honestly I don't need them. I never ride in the rain or through mud so its easier to just take them off.

[@eustacecourage7478]

Hey Big Dawg,Another solid video,thanks. E-Cells offers a torque sensor option,would that be more advantageous for hill climbing? Also,I'm sorry about the pony.

[@shootthechit]

It might help, but to me its more of a gearing issue only on steep hills. Its not geared low enough to get any meaningful cadence with the pedaling to feel like you can actually help the bike along

[@anthonydanna4786]

I'm ordering the torque sensor option because you can turn it off or on. Gives you versatility to choose how you want to ride.

[@stevegriffith7236]

Does the front fender and light have the same issues on the upgraded duel crown forks with movement and rattling?

[@ericb.4358]

My E-Cells Super Monarch Crown weighs 95 pounds BUT it has 2 wheel drive and 2 batteries plus dual suspension. I got mine in 2023 for $5,100. Great for trail/dirt road exploration and hunting. Heavy but hey, it's a CARGO mountain bike. I WANT SOLID STATE BIKE BATERIES!

[@darinsmith2458]

I live in Denver and I am right next to the Rocky Mountains so I would be interested in the hill climbs.. I also saw that ECells have a torque sensor option. I am pretty sure that I saw they had a carbon belt option as well.. Having a mid-drive with a gates carbon belt and torque sensor might be the answer for Hills/Mountains.. If you have lower gears you should not need as much power to get up the hills.. I even saw that they have CVT continue various transmission.. My car has that and I love it..

[@shootthechit]

I think the belt drive is not longer an option due to supply issues

[@darinsmith2458]

Does the second battery option have its own docking port in the rear cargo carrier, or is it just a place to store it until the first one runs down?

[@shootthechit]

I'm pretty sure the dual star option has the 2nd battery mounted in the rack and attached to a battery balancer

[@ByteMyWire]

The way I see the comments going these days, I picture E-Cells riders and Wired riders meeting up on a bike path somewhere for a rumble. LOL. Buy what makes you happy. Yes I do have a Wired on order, and I plan on customizing the chit out of it with better components. Maybe I'll get a E-Cells or something else down the road, who knows. Anyway thanks for the review Big Dawg .. Tracks of Terror, Planks of Death and The Antioch Incline, oh my. 😁

[@Merceralex77]

I asked if the derailleur and cassette coulbe be changed to fit a 11 speed. The owner did not like it at all. So yeah, Shimano Tourney for everybody

[@shootthechit]

I think after an 8sp you have to switch to a Freewheel so it's no longer compatible, but I'm not sure. I would also like to see an 11sp setup

[@Merceralex77]

@@shootthechit above 7s you have the standard cassette which can go between 8s to 11s. The catch is that you need to change the system. Change from a Freewheel (which is very outdated) to a Cassete which is modern and can be changeable. Don't know why some companies still work with Freewheel

[@robanderson5624]

I'm not as concerned to add gears as to have a reliable derailleur. Maybe swapping to something a bit higher on the Shimano ladder wouldn't be too hard. Like an Altus or Acera.

[@Merceralex77]

@@robanderson5624 oh got ya. For me, that pedals for like 100km, I need a speed relation that is lighter cause at some point the battery will fail on me and that bike is heavy. I'm thinking in a chainring of 30 teeth and a cassete with 11-51t. About E-cells, they work with the Shimano Deore on the Super Monarch models so yeah, I don't know why they put the Tourney on the 5 stars

[@eight7sixjoe]

Can you say what the seatpost diameter is?

[@FreakyT333]

What throttle only top speed were you getting with your 23 Cruiser? I regularly get 37/38mph on mine long as voltage is above 64/65v. That’s with me (195lbs) and about 30lbs of bolt ons/cargo. So a tad lighter than you but I thought this “upgraded” motor pushes ya 2-3mph faster?

[@shootthechit]

Been awhile since I've ridden that bike , but going to test the speed on all of them in a bit

[@gabrielcortez3053]

So the the rear shock can be rotated after making any adjustments? Or it’s just completely stuck and condemned to bang against the battery ?

[@shootthechit]

I got my shock all dialed in, then rotated it. You can still adjust rebound and compression, but you can't add or change your air pressure once its backwards.

I got a microshift acolyte but I had to swap to an 8sp Freewheel. I couldn't find a clutched derailleur for a 7sp setup

[@phenomtron]

[@joshread3740]

Great review! Look fantastic for a "first gen" version. Genuine question, why are you and other reviewers so reluctant to make direct comparisons to the Wired Freedom? I'm one of the people who feel torn about it, particularly with the newly-announced upgrades for the Freedom. I want to see the nitty-gritty comparisons that make one better than the other, but every Five Star video doesn't even want to directly mention the Wired Freedom for some reason.

[@e-cells2222]

I have asked for honest reviews. Not to mention the other guys. Look at their checkout price. You get far more value in the DUAL STAR package. We shipped the "new bigger better" motors, with the wider axles on our bikes last Friday. Guess we get to be the first to ship. Using your discount coupon from Tim you will checkout at ecells with a total cost of $2,395. Try that with the other guys. Cost more! And, with them, you get no two year warranty on motor, No TEKTRO 4 piston brakes, No TEKTRO rotors 2.3mm front and rear, no Ecells DUAL CROWN forks, no large headlight, no high discharge Samsung batteries. no lifetime frame warranty, no five years experience with Dual battery high amp bikes. Wired does have a chain protector, lol.

[@joshread3740]

@@e-cells2222 Thanks for the reply! I respect your wish to not mention the other competitor. I just would like to see the unbiased comparisons. I guess we'll see those in time. And yeah, your setup is the better value when factoring in their shipping costs. My thing is I won't be buying for another 8 months, and your dual star package says it's a limited time option, while the new Freedom is the base level option. Meaning I don't feel confident the dual star package will still be around or around the same price come next Feb when I'm ready to buy.

[@E-Ryders]

Nice B-Roll

[@shootthechit]

Thanks.. I crashed my DJI drone and snapped one of the arms off, have you had any issues with yours? The object avoidance stopped working very well all the sudden and it would keep hitting things.

[@E-Ryders]

@shootthechit do you have a 3 or 4 drone? I had a 3 last year and crashed it a couple of times cause it had no side sensors. But the 4 works like a charm, I just hate that's its slow cause it's always picking up something close and slows down. I'm tempted to just put it on sport mode on some rides just so it can keep up.

I have so many bikes at this point I don't get to ride all of them anymore, so at the moment I ride the E-Cells and the ERide Pro dirtbike. I recently sold my Wired Cruiser, but still have the Freedom.

[@e-cells2222]

I dont know: Does the WIRED allow hands free riding at 35mph? Because ive now seen two reviewers (Matt and Tim) obviously making this a big deal. I know by my personal experience your rear triangle must be solid, without wobbling, to accomplish such feats.Because i know the Wired bikes have frame instability. Even Citizens demo of thier new dual battery bike he shakes those loose pivot arms. Making those arms thicker won't solve that problem. If your going to ride at high speeds, you sure dont want death wobble.

[@robanderson5624]

I have two other ebikes now and don't feel I can take my hands off for more than a few seconds. Definitely not at high speeds. Looking forward to doing this more often with this new bike. Loved doing it as a kid. 😀

Get MTB handle bars then.

[@e-cells2222]

The DUAL CROWN forks raises the head tube 1.5 " in the pictures with preset sag. Setting the fork with 30% sag drops the bike 1.5".Now you have a solid fork that allows the wheel to drop into minor bumps without massavie frame vibration. To ride with the DUAL CROWN fork is so smooth and with the preload sag you still have more travel than the standard fork. Win-win

Wired????

[@raja8806]

I unlocked the speed limit which was only 41 mph. How can it go 49 mph speed?

[@shootthechit]

I think they will cut off power at 45mph. Only way you can go faster than that is by pedaling and gravity.

[@raja8806]

@@shootthechit so only throtolle cann't be possible to achieve that speed ?

[@shootthechit]

@@raja8806 No, fastest it will provide power to the motor is 45mph. You can verify this by using the throttle with the tire off the ground. Fastest I've been able to go on throttle only during a ride is 38mph

What's up big dawg. I'm going to be 44 in a few months. I've been thinking about buying a bike for a couple of years now. And came across your channel. I really want this bike! But I seen your video about the senada saber. I'm 6'2" 225. What do you think? Should I just buy the saber now and buy the 5 star next spring? I haven't ridden a bike in probably 25+ years. I myself live on the left coast in eastern Washington state.

[@shootthechit]

Tough question, If you get the Saber and love it you would probably progress to wanting this bike, but also if you haven't ridden a bike in awhile the FIVE Star is going to be a big shock to you. Can you rent or try someone's bike first?

[@Pepadai]

Just do it. 4 years backI was in same position. Didn't ride bike over 50 years. Now I regret- should done sooner. I got 2 ebikes now. 20" and 26" .

[@saltygreek3870]

Can u tell me what size cloud 9 seat that 5 star takes, also do you know the seat post diameter? Thx in advance

[@eddwil7]
