I love my Mokwheel. Everyone talks about their bad customer service, and it is slower than a bigger company, but when my display bracket broke after 3 months of use, they sent me a new one and didn't hesitate. I bought 2 bikes from them so far and they have been almost flawless.

Nice of you to mention their good service. The power of the pen wheen angry attracts many more than musings about ones satisfaction.

[@lenlaskowski7374]

If you hold down the three bottom buttons on the control you will find the speed setting to unlock it. I set mine to 61. It now goes 31mph on throttle. I also turned the intensity down to 1 making it much smoother on power. I also installed a stem extender to raise the handlebars for more upright riding.

[@18andlikeit]

Can you elaborate more on what power settings/adjustments are available from the display?

Yes but FYI : Remember to have a Motorcycle endorsement .. Thats over National average of 22mp law. Also WEAR A HELMET cost to Live if you don't die really expensive

Also if you hold I believe all three or top and bottom buttons you go into another setting where you can put the throttle up to 30 and the pedal assistant to 5 and the torque kick in right away.

[@ralexking]

Im pretty sure he sends them back, I beileve they send bikes out to multiple reviewers so they are all used bikes essentially. Ive heard that on a few channel's.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

@@ralexking As the other commenter said, he does have numerous bikes in a storage facility, but no where near the number he reviews. Unless he has more storage someplace. With (currently) 114k subscribers he's probably passed the point where I'd think some, probably many manufacturers are willing to pay him for the advertising they get from his reviews, with a 'free' bike. When I'm watching this video about 9 months after it was posted it has 47,000 views. If even just 10 - 15 people that watched this video bought this bike, and those that will in the future using his affiliate link, I'm sure the price of a bike would be well worth the advertising. His reviews are the best I've seen, so I'd think he'd sell even more. With that many eyeballs on their product (and growing) it's potentially worth a *lot* of $$ to a company. A couple thousand or so dollars is nothing compared to running a nationwide TV ad, and the KZbin ad/video just keeps on playing, 24/7/365. I was already looking at the 'Mokwheel Obsidian,' and this video has about sealed the deal for me, and as I said, I'm watching the video some 9 months after it was posted. He may be selling this bike, from this review, for a couple more years to come, as long as Mokwheel is still selling this model, and the thing is, even if they aren't selling this model, if someone clicks his link that takes them to the Mokwheel site and they buy another bike, he still made a sell for them. KZbin advertising is obviously some of the best advertising a company can get these days. There's obviously *BIG BUCKS* involved. That's how the owners of channels with a very large number of subscribers are becoming multi-millionaires, and my guess is, this guy is well on his way.

What's the best ebike with a throttle with the most power , reliability and any cost?

[@yoltzcyber4292]

Hey, i been looking into electric bikes lately as i need a commuter for getting to and from work this winter thats faster than my regular mountain bike and ive been looking at 2 bikes so far. Just wondering if you could give me your opinion on which would be the better option. the first one is a bit more expensive than i want to spend really but seems like a smarter choice since it is more popular, that being the RadRover 6 Plus, then the other one is from Engwe which i havent seen much about anywhere but specifically its the Engwe e26. the engwe e26 is alot cheaper... and has a better top speed reachin upwards of 30mph which sounds nice. the RadRover 6 Plus is on sale atm for around 1500 after tax but looks like it will be off sale before ill be able to buy it which is why i am looking at the engwe e26. im just unsure how well of a company engwe is when it comes to parts and stuff like that. if you or anyone could give me an opinion here it would be appreciated. shoot even if there are other bike reccomendations for anything around lets say 1000-1400 USD i wouldnt mind hearing those as well.

[@dpporlando]

Is there an ebike that has mid and hub motors? Just curious 🤔

[@declan1139]

I dont see any reason it wouldnt work if the hub motor was in the front but i really really doubt any company is producing a bike like that, theres just no reason

[@ericolens3]

yeah, try searching "dual motor ebike" citizen cycle uploaded some of his project bikes. he has a left throttle for one motor and a right throttle for the other. i forget if its thumb for one and twist for the other, or if both were twist throttles. but check him out. i used to watch him a lot but, for personal usage our tastes diverged. i dont see myself on a bike in excess of 35mph, yet he LOVES faster ebikes. so he literally made one with a dual motor. idk if he also has a tripple motor front hub, mid drive, and rear hub, but hes the type of guy to do that. also he LOVES fat tires, and I hate them. not a jab on Citizen Cycle, hes a great guy but its a matter of personal usage and MY PURCHASE. but hes fun to watch. all in all, i love ebike youtubers cuz they lemme see lots of ebikes and how to best optimize them.

[@SuperSlappy25]

Is the Mokwheel made in US or is it imported? Pretty sure the wired freedom is imported. Thanks in advance.

[@ericolens3]

i think most e bikes that are US have their bikes assembled out of country or have parts sourced out outside. names like Bafang and Chaoyang just sound too chinese to me. but thats just my assumptions. but yeah, quality battiers ARE KOREAN, i mean the ones that are LG or Samsung are Korean that is.

I would hate the throttle on the left side. But to each their own. Still leaning towards the WF.

I doubt that it has an inverter that makes no sense. What you would have there would be a boost converter that takes 24v to 48 or whatever the bike battery is. I should know I charge my bike like that all the time.

I have a Mokwheel and the customer service is awful! They don’t answer the phone or call you back or respond to emails. They don’t honor the warranty.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

In the first few minutes, when you say it has full suspension, a big 20ah battery, so I thought this seems like a really good bike, so I quickly clicked the link in the description and hoping it’s around $1500, but nope, nowhere close to $1500, but at $2300, wired freedom still beats it.

[@Therberg2500]

WF was going to cost me $200 for shipping plus sales tax. Mokwheel is free shipping and no sales tax plus all accessories are 50% off.

[@blackwhirlwind1245]

@@Therberg2500 first thing first, it’s not $200 shipping like people bought it before, they increase the shipping to $325, which is a lot, even though the new 2024 wired freedom with all the upgrades and they still claimed price didn’t change, it’s still $1999, but they increased the shipping, this is where they can get more money off their customers. As far as I know, Pretty much all other e-bike companies offer free shipping, lectric, velotric, aventon, radpower, magicycle, heybike, juiced, etc, just to name a few, however, wired company is probably the only one that is not offer free shipping(they don’t even do Black Friday deal), they add shipping so that they can advertise it as just under $2000, so people think it is a great deal, but they charge $300 for shipping so they can mitigate the cost to manufacture. For some people out there, $2300 is probably still a good deal, but not to me. I might actually bought it only if it offered free shipping so that it is indeed just under $2000 before tax.

[@lenlaskowski7374]

I was an early buyer and got a trailer with it. Now you get a pile of accessories for $99 more and the trailer. The only drawback for me is no rear rack available.

[@18andlikeit]

​@@lenlaskowski7374a rear rack should be available for it soon.

[@MyTube4Utoo]

@@lenlaskowski7374 Having no rear rack is also one of my major concerns, but I would think a third party rack of some type would surely work on it. If you look at some of 'Mokwheel's' other bikes, like the 'Basalt XT,' it shows a rear rack that appears to just connect at the axle. It may only be rated at 20 pounds or something, but that's about all I'd need anyway. I wouldn't need to carry like a passenger on it, or anything especially heavy. I guess you've figured it out by now, though.

Class 2 and 1000w😂it looks like this company has no idea what a class 2 e-bike is. At 1000w, it’s no longer any class of e-bike according to the e-bike law.

[@pascalj4331]

You need to stop calling torque sensors as "pro exercise". It is forced exercise for high speed. Cadence is always optional exercise, but it is more "exercise payoff" by reducing motor/battery draw by pedalling harder and rewarding you with more range. The advantage of torque sensor is speed control with just your feet. You can still get fairly efficient exercise by using low assist mode, but cadence is better for giving you a specific target speed appropriate for the traffic/path conditions.

[@drfrankenstein4127]

Just do you. Nobody read all that.

[@Scomelbasses]

Actually if that hub is a sustained 1000w it's not legal either per the classifications, 750w is the max.

CA now allows 1000w motors...I believe. However, if you disengaged the speed safety protocols or can throttle above 20mph your ebike does not qualify as an electric bicycle under CA law and is now legally a motorized vehicle or motorcycle and does not benefit from lax ebike rules such as using bike lanes, paths or trails much less riding on beaches, parks or boardwalks. Not to mention this motorized vehicle must now be registered, plated and the rider must have a motorcycle license and liability insurance. Every time this Jeff Spicoli wannabe makes a video he is breaking about a dozen laws and sets a bad example for youths and minors. He is a cancer and should be arrested. These 20%ers (the old 80/20 rule) will ruin it for everyone. If youre an 80% and dont speak up dont whine when your state takes away all the advantages of using an ebike. Due to increased accidents and injuries, particularly among yutes, many states are reconsidering their lax ebike rules.

0 stars! DO NOT ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY. Cool KZbin unboxing videos but don’t be fooled. It is now well over the time my bike was supposed to ship and I have already been charged but can’t get through to customer service. Usually with a legit purchase, the transaction is pending until shipment. Not in this case. I was charged immediately. I have been calling daily and staying on hold for hours with no answer. I have left voicemails and also emailed. Nothing. I am now seeing other reviews stating that they have major problems with the bike (manufacture problems and shipping damage) but cannot get through to them. I believe this because I cannot get through. This is the worst purchase I’ve ever made.

You can’t be just pregnant and 1000 watt sustained is illegal to ride on roads and bike paths. If you are considering this illegal bike, why not pay less and get better components, a bigger battery, and a much more powerful 60v system? Why would you make a 1000 watt illegal bike that only goes 25mph? Tiny front chain ring and they can’t even get the class 2 sticker right😂. But you can plug your toaster into your bike😂🤣😂🤣
