    Great review. I just purchased my Wired Freedom (blue) today, very excited to get the bike. Now I have a 2020 Rad Power Bike Radrover ST, I’ve had it for 4 years now and have just a little over 6,000 miles on it. Was thinking of getting another Rad Power bike, but after watching the videos on KZread about this bike I’ve changed my mind. I’m looking forward to being able to go up hills a little faster now. Thanks for the information in your video.

I may ride it once to three times a week and 5 to 20 miles per ride and charge it pretty much every time after I ride it so it's ready to go all the time.

    A great, even handed review. I, too have noticed a slight drop in my voltage when fully charged. Didn't know it was a thing, since this is my first battery operated bike. Not gonna worry about it until it gets real. I get plenty of juice for my needs. My worry is the coming summer, when my garage turns into a toaster oven. I guess I'll have to bring the battery indoors to preserve it. I put almost 1500 miles (!!) on mine since February. The bike is holding up like a tank in the most challenging rides in the desert. A true beast. So, no regrets at all. However, my next one is going to be an E Cell Dual Star which is a similar bike, with better components and dual batteries. Cheers!

    ​@@RugersLastResort My 2024 Freedom has skipped a tooth in 6th but mostly 7th gear when I'm on the peddle hard, from day one. It's not the derailer adjustment, because mine is adjusted correctly with perfect alignment. I think it's because there is not enough tooth contact for the chain to grab on that dinky little 7th gear sprocket. Also, at the same time in 7th there is less spring tension on the derailer arm spring compared to the larger lower gears. My friend Joe's freedom does the same exact thing. Not exactly sure what the fix is on that one? Maybe try and find a way to get more spring tension on that arm to help keep the chain planted on that gear a little better? I don't know..

    Since I'm still waiting on delivery of the Freedom, when I saw the upgrades they did I got a little worried. I contacted Wired and they said I'd be getting the new one. The new one has bigger brakes 205mm 4 piston Gemma ( Gemma is a Taiwan company, I hear the brakes are good but finding parts stateside looks difficult so far). Bigger W motor (3200W / 153NM). Second battery (fits in rack 15AH). Balancer for 2 battery setup. Longer front fender (w/ 2 extra stays that bolt to the fork). Same headlight. New slimmer display w/ plain English programming. USB port is now on the button cluster. New 45A controller (now potted and fits on a metal bracket on the frame in usual place). That was about the gist of it. New weight with both batteries in, 105lbs. LOL. I was suppose to get this thing in late May, but could be June now, not sure. Forgot to ask if a Keurig machine might soon be a added accessory. 😁

Im hearing nothing but goodthings other than some minor nitpicking stuff which i have been okay with. I keep hearing of E-cells and when looking at their website and bikes maybe im too dumb but seemed like it wasnt as cheap at the Wired freedom nd had a bunch of expensive upgrades that almost seemed mandatory. i think just the ease of getting the wired and having it pretty much maxed out with stuff is perfect for me. i know shipping sucks but thats kinda like a you win some lose some moment that i just dealt with. since i just ordered too im getting the dual battery pack with my bike which i am extremely happy for.

    From what I understand the stock chargers that get sent out with many PEV's aren't exactly perfect. Many of them "overcharge" and that can be damaging to the longevity of your battery. I'm sure what the exact voltage on your battery is supposed to be but if the charger is consistently going over that then it can degenerate the life of the battery quicker. Lots of folks spend money on "quick chargers" or a charger enhancer which will allow you to control the exact voltage that it will stop charging. There is also a way to open up the stock charger and locate a specific screw adjuster that will turn down the voltage slightly. A little company called "Pidzoom" makes charger enhancers and quick chargers. Sorry for the novel there I just wanted to share what I know. Thanks for another awesome video!

For some reason looks is a bigger deal then it should be for me but I know the Ecells is the better move bike wise. They have more experience with the frame and ebikes in general and seem to have made a more durable and slightly better quality product. I'm not into their berry blue color tho, I prefer Wireds metallic light blue and orange.

He didn't have too much good to say about wired, but I'm taking a lot of what he said with a grain of salt. However, I did see the wired frame flexing upon certain conditions. Another video I saw showed the guy telling us about how wired is beefing up the piece that attaches the center shock to the frame. Have you heard of any updates on this subject?

    Hey Roger; great review. About the batteries: I heard somewhere that these types of batteries don't like to be stored while fully charged. I don't know what that means in scientific/electrical speak; however, that's what I usually do. I have a AZUB Ti-Fly X recumbent trike with a Shimano E6000 mid-drive at the bottom bracket. Where my batteries used to charge and post a full range state of 103 miles, now they are only posting a full range state of 98 miles. I heard it's best to store your batteries partially charged; not full or empty. So, maybe I've been destroying my batteries without knowing it? Don't know, but the capacity is definitely less. Interesting commentary on selling price and which bike to purchase. When I first ordered my e-bike (first one ever), it was a Wired Freedom. The next day I saw the Ecells. Eventually I canceled my Wired order and purchased the Ecells 5 Star. Although the machines are nearly identical I thought the Ecell bike had better features and execution. Also, with the no tax and no shipping Ecells offered I was able to purchase a few minor upgrades (tires, torque sensor) and still saved over $300. You're correct though, both companies are dueling it out, and both have offered major upgrades to their products in the last few weeks. My 5 Stars should be here in a month. I'll let you know what I think of it. Take care; glad to see you are still getting it done out there. Stay safe, Brother. All the best.

    Nice update. I'm still waiting for mine... hopefully this month! One question I have is what are the electric motor / gearing noise levels at roughly 20mph or so? For me I decided on 60V primarily because I was unsure whether a hub motor's torque could handle going up some steep hills returning home while loaded with groceries. It was that or getting a mid-motor bike where a lower voltage wouldn't be a problem. That was my only real concern, I doubt I'll ever run the thing above 30mph or so anyway. I'll probably take off the fenders when I get it, but we'll see. One big reason I decided on the Wired was that the rear rack looks very sturdy... one of my requirements since I'll be hanging panniers and carrying maybe 50 pounds in them. I'll need to find a good charging solution. I have no need to charge the batteries to full, I figure 80% (63V) will be plenty. Even just 70% (61V). I suspect that the included chargers just charge them up to 100% every time but I don't know (can anyone tell me?).

    I hope you get your battery issues sorted out. That much degradation after only 500 miles is a huge deal breaker for me. Even your scooter's similar issue after only 1600 miles would concern me. I have 3, Bosch mid-drive e-bikes with thousands of miles on all of them and my batteries still charge up to 100% every time and my range hasn't been affected much either. I had intended to get a 60V, 40mph bike soon but now I want to see if this is a common problem.

    I have a Wired Freedom (February 2024 model). Put 500 miles on it. VERY satisfied, until, electrical issues arose. Wired has been VERY helpful with troubleshooting but it's still not yet resolved for me. I hope we can get it back to working as it did at first. Regarding your concern about battery degradation: I'd suggest that you check the battery itself with a multimeter to see if it may be fully charged even though the display is indicating a lower voltage than the real voltage at the battery. (That seems to be at least one of my issues.)

    @@RugersLastResort Thanks, it will be very interesting to see if your battery voltage matches the reading on your display. Mine has not been matching and Wired is helping me find a solution. It seems that once the reading goes down, the performance goes down even if the battery is still well charged. I very much hope I can get the problem sorted out on mine and perhaps you too can find a solution to the apparent battery degradation that you've noticed! Best wishes, it's a great bike when working properly!

    All lithium batteries will degrade with use. Tesla tells you to charge only to 80% for daily use and rarely or never charge to 100%. If you routinely charge to 100%, you will prematurely age your battery. The dual Battery setup of the new Wired Bikes gives you more power from less voltage sag and so much range that it is easy to stay in the 80% to 20% Goldilocks zone for maximum battery life. I never charge my bike above 65 volts, my battery will last longer than I will.

    Yeah in what way? Wired bikes now have 1000 more watts and a much better frame and much safer thru axle fork. The old e cells frame has no clearance for the shock and has to be redesigned besides being ugly with poor welds and horrible cable management. Wired is $250 less after shipping and will soon be certified to full UL standards, not just the battery like e cells is supposedly seeking.

    ​@@jfly2249You're delusional if you think the Wired frame is better. In fact, it has serious design flaws that should have never made it to production. The frame is really chincy and weak. But most every wired freedom e-bike owner does not know that. The word is getting out though.
