WILDEWAY FW11 3 0 GIANT BATTERY Folding eBike Review & MODS - JOHNAVATAR.com

[@StevefromOhio1972]

Nice review. This bike is the best bang for the buck. Interesting that you would unhook the pedal assist. I like the battery capacity on this one. The only thing I couldn't find out about this bike is whether it's UL Certified or not. Thanks for the review, I hope you post over time on how well the FW 11 is holding up.

Thank you for the LIKE and Comment! I do plan more videos of this eBike and others. I was going to do more videos of the FreeGoEV T20, but they discontinued that eBike. I disable Pedal Assist, but still have full control over electric, I have ridden bicycles all my life and love the exercise and going places and don't want Pedal Assist helping, plus it's a little aggressive on the Wildeway FW11. The eBike gives more places to go. I tried it first with the Pedal Assist and it's good, but I prefer no Pedal Assist. AND I get far more range this way because the motor is not always running. My last eBike, the FreeGoEV T20 would actually charge the battery when I pedaled! I'm not sure about the UL Certified, I don't know if it is, it does not say in the owners manual and not marked on the eBike itself? I suspect no ebike is UL Certified, the ones from China anyway. You can contact the manufacturer directly, they have been very responsive.

I love the music that starts at 1:50 Sounds like earthbound / mother soundtrack

Yesterday I hit just over 31mph.... there was no wind and I just let it rip on a Flat, unobstructed, Beach Bike Path! And I didn't lean over, just sat up straight, no special treatment! SO TOP SPEED IS OVER 31MPH and that's with the correct Tire Size setting and that was on a flat Beach Bike Path, so smooth, no obstructions! JOHNAVATAR.com

Can't you just put peddle assist to 0 if you don't want peddle assist?

[@JohnAvatar]

@@HateUTub But then you have no electric power. My method lets me pedal without Pedal Assist, but I can also use electric to help climb hills, or just for electric only ride fun! I select speed for different electric power levels. Also by disabling pedal assist the motor and electric power is not always on any Pedal Assist speed, which turns off power use so I get much more range.

@@JohnAvatar oh! Smart :)

@@HateUTub And by me disabling/unplugging Pedal Assist I increase the battery range by almost double! With Pedal Assist (PAS) the battery is always being used, with PAS disabled the battery is only used when I use the throttle, which I normally only pedal and use electric for hill climbs (I live in a very hilly area).

How did you adjust the brakes to get rid of the squeaking?

[@JohnAvatar]

@@stephenwirtz2057 the front brake was easy by a single adjust of outer adjust, the rear I'm having to go back and do a full adjust, it's close, but sometimes still makes squeak.

Maybe I should do a video, but there are plenty out there of other bikes that work⁉️🤔
