[@jimthompson717]

If you can ride at those speeds, its effectively a motorcycle. I would expect to wear proper gear and helmet. My concern is, it's a heavy bike and fast. If you hit a pedestrian, they would be seriously hurt. What's preventing unlicensed younger person from riding one?

[@donadams8345]

The way he is riding it would be illegal in my state which just passed a fairly draconian law on e-bikes. It may not even be legal to sell such a bike now in the state. Riding at that speed in a bike lane would definitely be a no no. There have to be some rational decisions made on the where e-bikes become motorcycles with regard to power, speed licensing and where they can ride.

[@jfly2249]

Compared to a 20inch moped style bike, the 26x4 full suspension Wired bikes provide a most comfortable and capable ride. You can go easily go over obstacles that would swallow a 20 inch tire. By far the most comfortable bike I have ever ridden. Love the ability to ride on bike paths in complete stealth and rip it on the street.

[@thebikecave]

You’re absolutely right, stealth mode is my favorite feature!

[@scu-dub]

I knew months ago I was getting this bike😂 I was going to get it last year and got lucky by waiting because 2 new versions were released since the first this is definitely worth every dollar I have seen bikes at this price range that can't even hold water compared to this bike....2 grand!!!! Ps....I dont need to get it delivered I live in chicago so I can just go there and pick it up....for those who say thats not with shipping 😁....I just wish they would make a foldable bike with this power....wired....😉

[@realeyesrealizereallies6828]

They used those handle bars because they are 10 X's more comfortable than mountain bike handle bars..Mountain bike handle bars are made for jumping, down hill on single track, for true mountain biking..There is no true mountain biking on a bike like that, no matter the handle bars..Especially the older you get, mountain bike handle bars hurt your wrists, hands and back, BMX handle bars do not..Putting thicker, more appropriate tires on the bike would be a much better idea, but to each their own..

[@thebikecave]

Guess you’re right… I was just surprised when the handle bars went up to my nipples!🤣

[@Moondoggy1941]

When we had to build and piece meal our BMX bikes back in the early 70's you either used heavy motorcycle bars or we like to use Schwinn Jr. bars they were shorter that the banana seat type bars and were straight vertically unlike the bars like cow horns type. We also put those bars on our 10 speeds. Thanks, good point on those bars on the is E Bike.

[@Biggusdickuss111]

​@@Moondoggy1941 hah UK here, back in the late 60s early 70s my best mate and l used to make our own bikes from bits and pieces of bikes others no longer used, wheel from here frame from there handlebars from someplace else, Cowhorns were my favorites big n wide, didnt get a banana sest until the Raliegh Chopper bikes had been out a year or two and were being discarded, we had n Schwinns over here tho l had seen them in movies and in DC comics advertisments, was always impressed by how modern they looked for the times they were made in, the ones from the fifties looked fantastic. BMXbars are the bezt on e bikes I'd say from personal experience especially with a tech bar across the middle for modem screens, mirrors, and phone holders. Love these bike now, would have been over excited if they had been around in my youth lol.

[@kevinphillips465]

For having two 60v batteries I expected top speed to be faster. What’s the wheel size? How much does the bike weight? Does it have a switch to toggle thru what battery or both battery you use? How lOng is the range? How long does it take to charge?

[@thebikecave]

Having 2 batteries will only in crease the range. The weight is 105lbs. Both batteries get used at the same time. Range is 40-50 with the throttle and 80-90 in pedal assist. It comes with 2 chargers and they charge the batteries in about 5hours.

[@kevinphillips465]

@ thanks for the reply. I do mountain riding looking for lightweight with good power like 35-40mph on flat ground. Do you have any ideas? Or is there something better than this ?

Great review, it was like you couldn't hide your satisfaction with the bike. Seems like Lectric had better step up their game. By the time you add a second battery to Lectrics' big tire bike, you are close to this price point. Wonder how much these will increase when tariffs are put on them?

[@thebikecave]

Thx! Hopefully they won’t increase much if at all…

[@Nunyabiz74]

After a lot of research, I’ve decided these E-bikes are mopeds with pedals. As a motorcycle rider I’m all for it. I’ve always felt that bicycle riders should feel what I feel wile riding at real speeds. These new electric motorcycles are what you should get though because if you want to pedal you’re going to get on your bicycle or peloton anyway, may as well be able to get to 100mph 😂

[@joeglennaz]

Hello from Phoenix, Arizona. Thank you so much for the video. I’ve been looking at electric bikes for a while, but I haven’t done a serious deep dive. What I really want is just someone to tell me which one is the best one biggest bang for the buck and I’m starting to feel like this is it. The only thing I can see wanting is Maybe a different kind of seat where I could ride someone on the back with me if necessary, necessary because it certainly seems to have the power. I don’t know if someone’s able to ride on that bike rack or not maybe you could put bunny pegs on the back?Anyway, any thoughts are appreciated but primarily want to say thank you for posting the video and the review.

What are you looking for in an ebike primarily? Lectric is based in Phoenix (near I-17 and the 101). Might be worth a trip to at least check one out. I got my first one there several years ago.

Just came across your video ,very well done. You have done a great job with explaining the full details of this e-bike . When you did the brake test I see you skid in both breaking applications .I'm wondering if it would be a good Idea to have dual front breaking. My motorcycle has dual front breaking for a reason,engineering has design all breaking for cars, trucks, motorcycles and even some pedal bikes @ 60% front and 40% rear braking ,with higher speed and application this e-bike should have dual front disks. Also with so so many YTubes out there showing different e-bikes ,at times I feel some are just doing videos to get clicks. I met one person who bought an e-bike from a company promoting on YT ,and he told me after 9 months battery was dead and had to buy another one which they didn't carry stock. It was some guy buying containers of e-bikes and nothing more,not even a store. Cheers

Not to be 'that guy', but the thicker rotors would be less efficient at dissipating heat. They would, however, be much better at resisting warping and damage. They would also dissipate heat in a more even, diffuse manner - leading to longer lifespan for a few different reasons.

[@KYFHOme]

They will also be slower to heat up with use due to thermal mass.

Why did they cheap out on an 80s era 7-speed derailler? It costs only a few dollars more to get a 9-speed, a durable, robust and proven gearset which actually is obsolete for top end bikes, but gives at least two choices of ratios close enough to each other to give some extra speed or extra comfort without creating a choice of gears in which none feel right.

[@jfly2249]

Because you don’t really need 10 gears when you have 3300 watts. The tourney is cheap, durable and ubiquitous and every bike shop has one in stock. Better drivetrains are needed for mid drives due to the strain on the gears. All that matters is the highest gear and the lowest gear, not how many are in between. It’s $2000 for a 3300 watt full suspension with 2100 watt hours. That said, an 8 speed would be nice.

Great presentation! The bike appears to be a combination of the 700 series Ride1up & the Himiway Cobra with lifted handle bars. I have the 700 series and the Cobra hub drive. Do you think meshing the Wired Freedom 52 tooth sprocket , the controller, and handlebars with the Himiway Cobra with an upgraded display and a 52V vs. 48V battery would be a good 2nd choice to go with? I really like the cobra frame and tire size over the WIred Freedom, but I love its price and speed. I know I could probably get 32mph+ from the Cobra upgrades, but the real question is range consistency at max speed on the flat with no assist. I'll sacrifice 5mph speed (but no lower than a consistent 30mph, though) to get a longer range of 5 miles. I'm subscribed for your feedback.

same story here, absolutely gutted i couldn't get a freedom, maybe we should collectively ask once we have more UK based buyers. Dallas buyers club. Improvements for the freedom, lose the rack/2nd/mudguards and batt completely, put on some nice mtb bars, beast.

[@justinw1765]

@AndyPacey Have a bunch of people contact a larger bike shop, and see if the bike shop is willing to import a larger amount of bikes at a time, then maybe Wired will ship to there?

[@AndyPacey]

its an idea if there were enough of us, but i think its unlikely, SME's have enough on their plate without int'l shipping and support, Ghostcat gave me a similair response, but then said they might ship in Jan, here's hoping. I'd put my money where my mouth is for a freedom plus in dark blue ;)

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

You mentioned the size (big), but you never mentioned the weight. How heavy?

[@thebikecave]

It’s 105lbs with both batteries installed.

[@jeffreyhurst9552]

@ 105 pounds? Yikes!

[@skydancerforever]

Where are you located? Never seen that bridge?

[@thebikecave]

Golden Ears bridge, Maple Ridge.

[@markcomisky7106]

What's difference between the freedom and prediter

[@thebikecave]

Predator has 2 motors (front and back)

[@thebikecave]

6000watts!

[@Ripperonis]

Will you take a look at the eahora romeo pro 2?

[@thebikecave]

Working with Eahora to get some bikes for 2025…

[@shanepipkin4041]

i want try the ultraverse tires

[@thebikecave]

🤔

[@shanepipkin4041]

i want the higher amp controller on my 23 model

[@thebikecave]

Never rode the older model but this one…👌🏻

[@jfly2249]

You can easily shunt mod the old contoller as shown by Citizen Cycle and achieve the same or even more power than the newer model. It is a lot easier and cheaper than replacing the contoller and display.

[@smacpost3]

Website says the bike costs $2,928 CAD. Over $3k after shipping.I wonder what the cycle life of these batteries are?

[@thebikecave]

Yeah I know… Where about in Canada are you… I may be selling this one soon…

[@smacpost3]

@@thebikecave I'm in Vancouver.

[@toddzydiak9910]

​@@thebikecavewhy are you selling?...

[@rickphelan4326]

19:50 That's way more than 20'?

[@thebikecave]

The fisheye of the GoPro makes it look like more but trust me it is…

[@icusawme2]

Didn't look like you used the front brake? During the brake test that is. 😊

[@thebikecave]

Yeah, the brakes on that thing are so strong, I was making sure not to lock up the front.🥵

[@bradleymichels8818]

I don't like fat tires wont to mostly use Patel asst thinking Summit or discover 2 will fit in car get about 35 miles on asst and 20 on thortel

[@johnetheriedge8675]

How do I purchase this bike?

[@thebikecave]

Here’s the link: wiredebikes.com/?sca_ref=7679653.fjH2qFYzfn&sca_source=KZbin

[@yippie6862]

Can I ask? I've never seen countryside like that before. It looks very interesting to me. However, I can't figure out what State you're in? But then I was thinking, maybe it's in Canada? East coast or West coast area would be my guess. Anyway, you don't have to go into specifics, but can you share what area you're in? State or Province? Thanks. Also, I clicked on your link that brought me to the Wired webpage. I saw that they have a new bike called the Predator and it's even more powerful. 6000W PEAK POWER and 225NM OF TORQUE!

[@thebikecave]

I’m in Vancouver Canada. And yes the predator looks insane!🤘🏻

[@uncrunch398]

That skidding is why ABS became standard on cars.

[@thebikecave]

Yeah I see Bosch is starting to put that on a few mountain bikes…

[@spikelove9533]

I dont see hardly any reviewers mention a direct drive lasts about 5 x longer than a gear driven. Im not knocking the bike at all I think its nice bike its just something id like people to compare so everyone can make enformed descions.

[@jfly2249]

The hybrid gears in the Hengtai motor have been tested and actually have a 27,000 mile lifespan which is 5x the lifespan of a normal nylon geared hub motor. The geared hub gives you better acceleration, more torque, better efficiency, and much less weight. A direct drive will be quieter and have a higher top speed with the same wattage but the motor is about twice as heavy. For a bike that is going to be off road on occasion, the hybrid geared hub is a better option.

[@TimTheMusicMan]

What does it weigh ?

[@thebikecave]

105lbs

[@KutWrite]

Where i s it made? Are parts and service available.?

[@thebikecave]

Illinois USA, I’m sure some part come from china but… all part are just standard bike parts available anywhere.

[@VancouverJT]

How do you get these in Canada?

[@thebikecave]

Get it shipped to a mailbox service on the US side of the border. Go pick it up and drive it across. You pay a little duty on it but it’s not too bad.

[@VancouverJT]

@ right on thanks! Appreciate the reply.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

Anyone know why a battery for 2023 freedom is $550 vs 2024 model $880? Thats just an insane difference id you ask me.

[@thebikecave]

It’s able to output more amps for longer.

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@thebikecave so they use different cell battery. Not sure I read that on the page. But I guess they then have the 21700 ion cells?!

[@RomboutVersluijs]

@@thebikecave I did check. They have same information below both batteries. So I wonder what this is about

[@MSSean-md9vf]

range? did you ever test range etc?

[@thebikecave]

About 40ish miles throttle only at full power mode.

[@joehiatt1992]

wired & ecells are good,id pick wired

[@thebikecave]

Me too! Local and reliable!💪🏻

[@ChaoYangMF]

Yeah I wish we could get them in Europe.

[@RGBWomble]

i wish this bike was available in canada it seems to be the only good fast bike that still looks like a bicycle and not some moped or dirt bike

[@thebikecave]

Get it shipped to the mail service by the border and drive it across yourself.

[@RGBWomble]

thebikecave i sadly can't i use to live in ontario but now i live in newfoundland lol driving across the border for stuff is 10x harder for me

[@lakecrab]

Wired Freedom is starting to win me over.

[@thebikecave]

Hard to beat for the $

[@durace99]

No dropper post. Bummer.

[@thebikecave]

Easy add.🤘🏻

[@durace99]

@looks like the rocker link prevents it. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@Tonydecanopener22]

So far I am still liking the Emma 3.0. I am a big dude

[@thebikecave]

Gonna try and get one of those this year too!

[@melvindenny8962]

Range. Range??????

[@MSSean-md9vf]

[@thebikecave]

What does that mean?

[@MSSean-md9vf]

@thebikecave you mentioned you road for hours in video so 120 miles seem like a day Lol.....

[@djones811]

It's over class 3 for ca if you happened to get stopped

[@thebikecave]

Thx. Never have because I respect others and don’t ride recklessly.✌🏻

[@TunaSoda]
