@CitizenCycle Why front-wheel drive only is handy. I am a 300 lb guy that lives in the mountains 10 mi from the nearest town. I switch from front to rear wheel every few miles to help prevent the motors from overheating. I can melt the average 1000 watt motor in less than 600 mi. That's the rear motor on an AWD bike. The front motor seem to last two or three times longer than the rear motor. Switching to the front motor when the rear gets hot does wonders for motor longevity. Love the video 👍🍻

@@CitizenCycle925 Does the predator have a temp sensor and display value for both motors separately? Because that would be amazing for monitoring temps and switching. I get high temps very quickly in the hills of CA with both my 2024 and 2024+ unless I closely focus on not giving more throttle than it takes to move the bike when on steep, loose hills.

As a '24 single motor Freedom owner, I love how Wired is pushing their products further and further, but honestly we need a 72V option now. With this much power, I want to be able to go 50mph so I can keep up with traffic anywhere except a highway, while still being able to ride slow and easy at 10mph in a park. Out here in the midwest, that would be an absolute gamechanger.

​@@firstinlastout No, that is not an effective solution. I already own a dual motor scooter that goes about 35, and that's as fast as I wanna go on such a short wheelbase. The portability is amazing and I love the scooter, however, as I can throw it in the back of my car quickly. But it also has other problems: - I can't have a basket and pannier bags on the back for grocery getting - There's no good place to put lights or turn signals for visibility in traffic. It's also smaller, so you're even less visible in traffic than a motorcycle. - It's harder to effectively lock up for theft prevention (they're easy to just disassemble quickly and they don't have great locking points), but a 50mph scooter is also gonna be way too heavy to bring in the store with you if you wanted to take that approach - There's probably others I can't think of right now. But my point is that a 50mph ebike would be the *perfect* middle ground between a motorcycle and a bicycle out here in the midwest if you want to be able to actually carry things on it with you.

If you think $3200 is a lot try buying a Specialized Turbo Levo Expert (carbon) it goes for $10,000. Ok enough with the drag strip demo. This is not a Mtn bike, it’s a Ev motorcycle. Would of liked to have seen it on a trail with switch backs, 18% grades and downhill braking. I could see this bike spinning out on gravel and tarring up a trail. Let’s call it a commuter bike instead of a e-Mtn bike. A Mtn biker would never ever have a throttle on a handle bar while in the woods-you’d get thrown into a tree. And why even have pedals-stup.

Awesome. I have a 2023 Freedom. My accelerator comes in handy for intersections. And if I come to a stop in a higher gear my accelerator is a lifesaver getting this 80# ebike moving as I can't establish a cadence starting off in 7th gear. Other than that I'm mostly in PS1 at 10-15 mph. I kick into PS2 and PS3 for hills on our public trails. Would like your demo and comments on its performance in PS levels at AWD. I live in the mountains and torque is everything. I like to pedal when I'm on my Freedom. Where I live a Class 3 ebike can't exceed 28mph or 750w. My Freedom does 38mph and I've hit 2250w on it.

@eagle94haslanded 2 ай бұрын
Top speed is more a dance between motor torque and efficiency. These motors have to put out a lot of power from a dead stop. If they had gears, they could go much, much faster given the right conditions (Down hill/with the wind/etc.) Even just a low and high speed gear. The dual motor costs $1300 more but you get a second battery and second motor. Both of those are kind of where all the cost comes from with an e bike. I think pricing makes sense. And even if you rarely use that 2 wheel drive power, youve got double the battery to get you about twice as far.

They did this without increasing the cost at all for the additional motor I do understand the extra cost but I think the range will still suffer bec in the base model the dual battery takes u very far. But in this I think with dual motor the battery drank will be significantly more plus the wear and tear on the tires will be alot.

Even my dual 1KW will spin the front wheel. With those BMX bars, your weight is shifted over the seat. If you had mountain bike bars, with your weight shifted forward, front wheel spin will be "less". But most likely not entirely gone. Might I suggest Innova Hybrid tires to enhance the street traction. This will reduce spin as well. The change to my Innova Hybrid tires helped reduce my front wheel spin.

@CitizenCycle925 If you owned a 2024+ (dual bat) Freedom/Cruiser (as you do), do you personally feel there's a compelling reason to 'upgrade' to this? The 2024+ still laughs at hills and gains speed going up them with the single motor. Has the same top speed as the Predator. The launches in this video have so much wheelspin I have a hard time believing the acceleration is any better either... but you may have the numbers, I don't! I want to be excited about this, but it looks like Wired has found the limits of performance on their current system and may need a redesign to really get to the next level. Which is a shame, because I actually love the low-key nature of the current frame. Unfortunately, slapping another motor on this bike doesn't seem to have produced any meaningful performance upgrades from my point of view, but I would love to hear from someone who's tried both. What are your thoughts?

I'm glad the throttle on your Wired Cruiser works well. The throttle on my Wired Cruiser is a total P.O.S. Impossible to modulate at low levels. I wouldn't try doing a U-turn with my bike using the throttle. At mid to high throttle settings it works as expected but the bottom range is either on or off. Still, I have to say that wired sells a lot of bike for a reasonable price. Mine just doesn't have a nice throttle.

I agree. Love mine, but it's one of the big drawbacks of these bikes to me. As you said, the throttle feels like an on-off switch. There's a bite point it kicks in about 30 degrees into twisting... and honestly, I don't feel any ability to modulate it at all. On or off. I use my pedal assist buttons as 'gearing' and am constantly changing PAS level while I ride to compensate for this. It works fine, but a real throttle would be much nicer.

I still drive my Grizzly cause I miss that off the line acceleration... especially when I'm in a lot of traffic, you don't want a bike that's sluggish if the line. I notice a lot of the comments saying their bike does 40 like it's biting special. But it's not about top speed... Is about how fast u get there...and under 8 seconds to 40 is absolutely unheard of for ebikes.

I want to see an honest review of the Predator Vs the MONSTAR. The MONSTAR was shown on radar doing 50mph. My friend has a Wired Freedom. She likes it but has had some problems with it. It took forever for her to get the replacement parts. Every company has issues with a bike. It's like a car. Sometimes you get a part on a new car that just goes bad. I had a bad display on my Dual Star. They did a next day air for my display, and I was up and running again. Customer service is huge in my book.

I noticed in the video that the tires seem to be dual purpose (off road/on road) by the semi-knobby tread. From what other reviewers have said in their video's on e-bikes, a softer tire with a street tread might do the trick. One of them mentioned switching to PTM tires (If I remember correctly) PTM tires are supposedly softer rubber and made for street use. The draw back is if you take your e-bike off road you don't have the knobby tread for traction in the dirt.

I think the Predator ACTUALLY may actually break the front tire loose worse than the Monstar bike even though the front motor is only a 1000w vs 1500 on the monstar with the same 40 amp controller? I think the difference between dual1500w motors vs 1000 + 1500w might be the reason why the Predator doesn't top end quite as high as the Monstar. On the MONSTAR bike, I easily hit 45mph in around 10 seconds and clearly felt like it had more to give. I'm 6' at 185 like Bryan. Man What a Fun Bike, (both of them ). I want one ! Choices choices ....Man....But I guess that's a good thing.

The monster will have the same top speed as it is limited by the same motor. They haven’t had it independently reviewed with a GPS and they are using 100 lbs women lying flat on the handlebars. Not to mention you can’t believe a word that comes out of the owner of e cells mouth. Plenty of direct drive bikes will go 50+mph but with a geared hub, it’s about acceleration and hill climb. The Predator will destroy the monster in any head to head competition. You won’t have long to wait as these are supposed to ship in the middle of November.

Very cool, Citizen. I hope Wired will refine the power delivery to the front wheel. It would have been interesting to see the front tire at the end of your ride. A tire with street tread would also help pavement traction. A 2nd throttle for the front motor would probably be the safest way to run this, though. Be careful with that thing. That much loss of traction on a front wheel is dangerous. Be happy that your beautiful wife is concerned. She could easily find a replacement.

Front motor seems like a gimmick and that wheel spin is ridiculous. I have a built Talaria pulling about 16,000 watts to the rear wheel and it only burns out on pavement when I make it (front brake pulled, weight over bars.) It will loop out if you're not careful, but not burnout on pavement. Also, with a heavy, powerful e-bike like this, you really should talk more about the brakes & suspension. If they are underspec'd, it's an accident waiting to happen. An offroad segment would be helpful, too.

With all of the new wattage and power - don't the batteries drain much more quickly? How would you compare and contract a CitizenCycle range test on Wired Freedom/Cruiser (with 1500w) vs this beast ? The Predator appears to have the identical batteries and so I would expect that batteries to not last long. Time for a road test !

It will be interesting to see the performance on a long grade climb (?) as far as the overheating of what just 1 hub motor did on its own. my "Guess" (& hope) is that the switch on the front motor will just negate the heat issues as they will be powering together :) & ok im a tourist and my top hill climbing speed will be under 30 going up a dirt road. really Im not a racer & powering back is fine with me (anything over 14 mph is fine)
