I want to buy.... Two of these but the website is bricked . Can't order any of the options on the dual star. Including the color.

@@dman2007 I just let him know that was the case. You can call in your order as well. Hopefully they get it fixed soon

Your videos are much more thorough in testing than any I have seen.

[@Ae073001]

I always look forward to seeing a new review. You are by far, to me, the most entertaining ebike reviewer. Ordered my 5-Star 6 weeks ago and hoping it comes in soon. Chomping at the bit to get riding!

[@shootthechit]

Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I'm sure you will love your 5 Star!

[@agasdoc]

Thanks!

[@shootthechit]

Woah! Thanks, I really appreciate that!

[@bobk18]

Every 5star owner and E-cells themselves owes you a big thank you for your “science based” testing of the 5star. They now know what the bike is capable of and should be able to sleep well. That’s a pretty nice helmet too. Who makes it?

[@daveyJ213]

Stairs?! You are a mad man, but I keep coming back for more. Nice helmet too. Thanks for posting.

[@agasdoc]

You brighten up my day man! Great bike reviews, great humor, fun trips...... keep it up !

[@bphilbac]

Absolutely great video! I plan to purchase a E-Cell e-bike next year. Thank you for posting.

[@TeddysVentures]

Great video! Thank you! I look forward to doing my own testing as well on my dual 5 star when I receive it. The advertising pitches could be dialed down a level or two, lol.

[@MrDeath1988]

Nice to see you wearing pads in this video, after my long recovery from breaking my knee I'll always be wearing safety gear on my rides.

[@kickerwormz3262]

Your channel is great. I truly appreciate someone as sarcastic as me. As always, the screaming eagle is great!

[@shootthechit]

You would be surprised at the amount of people that don't pick up on the sarcasm and take everything literally. Makes it even better lol

[@loumon2]

I really like my 5 star. New helmets now, wow. You are attracting attention, happy for you.

[@shootthechit]

I've actually had that helmet for a few months, kept forgetting to mention it lol . It is pretty nice, but its expensive..

[@brandonfunke9415]

Been enjoying the reviews of the 5star. Park junior high by the baseball field has a long stair case use to ride Bmx bikes down but have never seen a bike go up.i think you should give it a test! keep shooting the chit!...

[@bennettcasey4895]

Looks like the kick stand came down on the landing of that last jump. I would love to find a better alternative that stays up, and doesn't bounce every time you hit a bump.

[@Trailtested]

Bungee cord is what I use when I jump on my bikes

[@mikebordeaux8218]

You sounded like you were in a cement mixed on the RR tracks 😂

[@sledhead904]

I thought you had a normal one : ) how do you like the difference? I have my kit coming next month I hope to convert it.

[@CD-hc5ds]

Been considering one of these bikes, it would be my 1st ebike. You dont see many videos where people are using them mainly on dirt roads with mixed in hills. Would love to see a video dedicated to more of the offroad use to see the capabilities & distance.

[@shootthechit]

In my opinion, thats where these bikes are at their best. Fire roads , gravel, etc. I wouldn't do much real singletrack or hardcore off roading, but they are good at a lot of terrain.

[@ScottGunMag69]

I bought mine with your code. I love the bike!

[@Gidyupcowboy]

I like that helmet. Glad that kickstand didn't hit the ground.

[@perfdavid]

A dual star is shipping to me now. Isn’t it basically a 5 star with the battery? Can’t the battery be removed and now it’s the same weight as a stock 5 star but with a bigger fork?

[@shootthechit]

@perfdavid Yea pretty much, better fork and bigger headlight with the extra battery

[@tyman2007]

Great review. I wish it started with 17 on the price tag though.

[@Driaan]

Awesome video! Really enjoyed watching you go down deadman’s hill. Curious though, Is this the 17” frame or 19” frame?

[@shootthechit]

This is the 17" frame. I wouldn't get the 19 unless you are really tall ie 6'5 and up

[@Driaan]

@@shootthechit a gentleman and a scholar, Ty for the reply 🙏

[@johnnyutah7080]

Best reviewer on YT imo. Still waitin on my custom step star. Hope u get 2 review it too.

[@nickbarbanica1781]

Would you trade your seron for my annioki ProMax since you started and you wrote it and you sort of liked it it'd be a fair trade

[@rachel64660]

Do you have the torque or cadence sensor? If torque how do you like it on the 5 star

[@shootthechit]

Cadence sensor, from what I've heard I would stick with cadence (at least on this bike)

[@bellyacres7846]

Thank you for showing off that 5 star! WOW Chit dun that so I dont have to :) I am very impressed with the 5 star, Im just not a capable type. so Im waiting to see if the step star is as good [Im sure it is] (Im actually waiting on the price) that ex neato helmet looks like a winner! I need me onea dem

[@shootthechit]

Step Star looks like its going to be a winner for sure. I'm interested in testing one out at some point. Not sure if any have been delivered yet..

[@bellyacres7846]

@@shootthechit they should be great as the 5 star is a winner for sure

[@VSlim45]

Careful, I'm pretty sure i broke my dual star doing my endurance review video...😢

[@shootthechit]

Oh no... what happened?

[@VSlim45]

@@shootthechit I am not sure yet, working with David to try and figure it out. The cadence sensor stopped working, and it's been taking off on it's own. It ran into my garage door last night when I left it on and unattended for a few seconds.

[@Merceralex77]

That was insane. Keep going

[@shootthechit]

I think 6 stairs was about my limit lol. Don't think the bike enjoyed that one too much

[@Lowfatking-gn7ov]

Is the ecells 5 star better than the wired freedom? What's your opinon @shootthechit

[@toasty4000000]

They're pretty comparable. If I was buying new, I'd probably go for the ecellls. The base bike is a bit better (I like the controller housing particularly), I think it comes with the front basket, and they give some cool upgrade options if you're into any of them (ex: $100 for cadence sensor). Plus with CTC's discount code, it's a pretty good buy (although I assume there are still wired freedom codes out there from other channels). However, if you already have a wired freedom, you're not really missing much.

[@shootthechit]

They are comparable, but there are a few places where I think the E-Cells is better. The frame is more solid, and has a lifetime warranty. The rear suspension triangle is substantially beefier on the E-Cells, and the wheels are double wall and a lot stronger than the wheels on the Wired.

[@ajv9338]

Have you had a chance to compare this to the new wired freedom+ ?

[@terryrccrazy6993]

Good video, I have 2 of those helmets and they are great
