Just for the record, I made this to get others up to speed on this new bike. I’m not hating on the new bike at all, but I am a little salty because I feel my bike will be the older model. If you know any other information, please put it in the comments so we can all stay up-to-date. I would love to get my hands on one to do a real in-depth review.

@E_bikeDad They had to keep it X2 cuz it's basically the same bike with just a few upgrades that should have been in the original version. Now the x3 should be a full upgrade like 72v or more powerful motor. They sent me a message on my channel about this new version but they said it was the 2025 version. They also said they will be changing the modes to city mode and off road mode. Here's the direct quote "We highly recommend trying the latest 2025 version of Freego's 60V e-bikes. Freego also introduces a new concept: Dual Working Mode. This feature offers two modes-City Mode, which is street legal with a speed limit of 28 mph, and Off-Road Mode, where you can unleash speeds up to 40 mph, or 50 mph on the X2. With these dual modes, you can experience fast acceleration and the freedom of riding. ".

This bike is a alibaba Chinese bike that Freego rebranded. Bike been out for 3+ years. If they can’t make this bike a beast by giving it 72v and 8000w no point of gettin the “pro” and Amazon has this bike cheaper

@@JordanMarley I figured that’s what they did it definitely looks exactly like the EKX X21 max. Either way I enjoy my bike, but I’d be lying if I said I’m not looking forward to the day that I can move up a class to 72v and run with the dogs

@@E_bikeDad just remember this has all bike parts. The faster you go, they're going to have to upgrade the brakes for sure, possibly forks, and tires\wheels. This bike on the road with the stock tires is sketchy as hell, especially making turns. They should have a road tire option. 45 mph on a bike already feels crazy. Be careful

Another thing to consider is that the teaser is clearly indicating that there will be pas on this bike. If that is the case they have probably changed to a sabvaton or other similar controller as far driver doesn’t support pas. If this is the case it will be a downgrade. Far driver controllers are much much better for both performance and reliability.
@E_bikeDadАй бұрын
I know it says PAS on the monitor but I think it’s not hooked up. Just like they did their own custom wire harness on the x2 far driver.

Just subscribed. I thought about one, I am over 65, though, and I already have 3 ebikes. I saw $2600 a few months ago. Plus tax+shipping, which is now a lot. I ride sidewalks everyday, a cop may say something, maybe not. Small desert town local police or sheriff's, are not usually friendly at all. Ive seen electric dirt bikes riding in traffic lane, and I've never seen one pulled over. My city considers all ebikes, bicycles, no speed laws, just bike laws only. Ride safe.
@E_bikeDadАй бұрын
My father-in-law is 67. He wrote it today at our camp and wants to get one now it’s very addicting. I sold a bunch of stuff and I’m about to sell my first bike that I bought to cover the cost of this. Stopped and talked to cops and they all say 50-50 whether it’s legal or not now each state is different and they have different laws so you have to read the ones in your state and city. But most of the cops said as long as they don’t catch me doing on the roads, they won’t stop me. Just wanna make sure you’re safe. A lot of kids get pulled over or riding in the opposite lane or weaving through traffic doing a wheelie. I feel like as long as you’re being respectful they’re pretty easy-going. As far as the desert just be careful because sand gets in those bearings. I’ve had that problem with my big dirtbike.

All cosmetic changes basically. I don't like that new screen, but I like that you can change the power with more step 1-5 instead of just having eco/sport. I'm not sure if you can even program that controller through the screen anyway. Normally with fardriver controllers you have to Bluetooth into it with the app. So I just got mine and a pro is out...... yeah, not cool, but none of the major stuff is different, so I'm good.

yep I really want that single gear though, more clearance and less noise. I know they are a small company but I wish they would have done some release post or video. If they send me a bike I would have done the same videos I did for the X2 unboxing full specs and a ride review. The community around this bike is growing and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
