2024 Wired Freedom Review After 200 Miles 

Dude! I Took delivery on mine mid February. I already have have over 500 miles on it. I absolutely love it. I tear down the Arizona desert, places that are as rough as it gets. I put it through hell, and it is holding up great. I wasn't so sure in the beginning because it's so big and heavy. It takes time to get used to, but the power is second to none!

This sold me! I kept looking at vids and trying to decide which bike to get and this review did it. Thank you!!!

Planning on ordering one later this month for daily commute throughout my city to visit friends and family and grocery shopping too, as well as some exploration too of course. Super excited for this one! Thanks for the review!

Love your videos! I live in Montana now but use to live off of Bass Lake Road in El Dorado Hills area. I use to ride my mountain bike on that paved bike trail from Folsom up around the lake and back down to Sacramento by the American River. Man, you are so lucky to have all those bike trails! I really miss that. Thanks for the tour. Alot has changed since the 70s and 80s!

Nice video, look forward to your longer mileage reviews, thanks.

I ordered mine yesterday! I’m going to go crazy waiting. Thanks for helping me make my decision.

Thank you your review was the best I have seen!

Excellent review. Thank you. Man I can’t wait to get mine. I’m ordering one tomorrow. Late May delivery according to the website. It took me forever to decide but I finally settled on the white one.

You are really making some great videos and thank you! I noticed that your bike did not come with a derailer guard but mine did. I picked it up about 30 days ago.

Really appreciate your videos. Thank you

Great video. Love my 2024 Wired Freedom.

Great Vid! Ordered mine with dual batts 2 days ago. Riding the Erie Canal Trail in Upstate New York, Buffalo to Albany soon as I can.

My wife and i got ours in Seattle about a month ago. They have been amazing and have gotten us to see areas around us we would have never otherwise explored. Try getting some spider washers to put in the front light bracket, they will bite into the plastic and keep them from rotating. Thanks for the content!

I am so close to ordering one. Thanks for the review. Also for pedal strikes, always put the outside pedal down and put weight on it, you can turn better and no fear of pedal a strike.

Great video my friend. I appreciate your insights

This is on my short list of ebikes I want. Thanks for the info it will definitely help me make a decision. And ...subscribed.

I had the old plastic fenders. I took my back one off. Then I sheet metaled the rack. Works great. Also that battery wobble is not normal. Mine is solid. The 2 big gripes I have on my late 2023 model is the squeaky suspension links. Lube does the trick for about 2 weeks. The other is the brake disks. Front one warped. The new ones I seen on citizens site yesterday are going to have 208mm with 4 pistons. Anyways great video.

New sub, and thanks for the excellent review! I'm looking forward to your 500 - 1000 mile review of the Wired Freedom. Also, your $30 Purple Panda mic sounds great!

I fixed my battery rattle issue by adding small pieces of an old rubber bike tube under both the top and bottom plastic mounting pieces. I took them out and placed the rubber around the edges.. This made it fit nice and tight with no more rattle.. I also noticed the top screws were loose.

Good video. Great bike. I have a couple hundred on mine too. I will do the rubber washer trick. Thank you for that.

I purchased the Cruiser. I'm very happy with it. I would recommend if you're a smaller person or older, this is a big heavy bike and you will be happier with the cruiser.

Hi, thank you for all of the great informative videos! A problem that I have is with the front tire quick release bolt keeps loosening on its own, resulting in really bad tire wobble.

You got it !

Hi! I am from NJ and I ride my ebike to and from work and also we have a small bike trail that's roughly 2 miles long that I like to ride on when I have off from work. right now, it is a beautiful day at 56 degrees we will hit 80 later this afternoon and I will take my ebike out for a ride then. The ebike I have is a Vivi 21 speed ebike. I have had the ebike for almost 3 years now with no issues at all except for changing the brake pads as they wore out and i also use Flatout so I don't get much flat tires anymore.

Well done.

I've only put 100 miles on my "FREEDOM"... But mods ive made are lowering the gearing, 46 front chain ring, larger granny gear freewheel on back... "Shoot The Chit" has a video on how to do this, it's easy and will turn your Freedom into a hill Climbing Beast! Plus, more ground clearance for front chain ring against roots and rocks. Relaced pedals with FUNN ones off Amazon $100, can clip in with SPD Cleats on one side for full pedal rotation on front crank, smooth power, killer workout when pedaling when clipped in, Platform on the other side for non-clipped in riding. With this gearing can pedal The Beast without pedal assist on, 0 zero for killer workout on the flats.. Also with these pedals, lower profile equals less pedal stroke when cornering. Took off cheesy front/back fenders and rack. Headlight too.. Bought this super cool looking back fender from Amazon, lightweight and flexible, easy on and off... Gorilla Taped taillight to it after much debate as whether to just cut it off.. Added Flat Out to innertubes and changed out grips to more grippy ones.. Bought Fox Dirt Paw Gloves for Moto Comfort and grip.. Car Waxed the framed so mud and dirt don't stick, easy clean up... It's an OFF ROAD BRUTE of a BAD ASSS Machine and I never ride it at 40 mph so lower gearing and more torque are perfect for the hills and trails, fire roads and single track dirt I ride in Livermore Ca, SF East Bay Area!!!! I LOVE MY FREEDOM!!!! Best $2K i ever spent!!! Awesome content!!! Keep on Riding!!! Looks like Folsom Lake is an awesome place to exercise your FREEDOM!!!! Thank You Mate!!! Awesome Content and info!!! : )

I have close to 1000 miles now on mine. Love the bike. Agree with your points but: I absolutely cranked that front light and fender bolt down and it is nice and snug. I never worry about it. I do not think my battery rattles so you may want to look at that housing. If I could change one thing it would be a bigger battery (even though it would add weight) My only complaint is that it DRINKS after it hits about 57 volts. It doesn't take long to get to empty after that. But on rides where I am conserving (very little throttle), I have gotten 55 miles (but that is working a bit) Wide open throttle 20-25 miles.

I’m tired of my jetson, always w/my frenchie riding, now going to put a box..I ordered this bike in the very beginning of February in Hunter green, the only bike saying going to be delivered mid April which I was so excited because it’s my birthday..then I here it’s late May now!!! I just want my bike!!! In frisco

It's funny, because on my old ebike, I took the fenders off because I thought they were ugly, especially with the metal wires, but on the Freedom, they are so sexy! Shorter fenders, on no ugly metal wires! I prefer the look with fenders.

new to the E bike world. Can you explain the pedal assist process. Great video Im sold.

Sounds like some some 160 mm crankset would solve some problems. Cool bike. I want one

the track is just beatiful. i wish i lived in the US

Thanks for the tips. Informative video. I just bought one. Waiting for delivery. I noticed you took the back battery off. Is that because you’re not going far to save weight? I’ll using mine as a commuter so fenders stay on to keep my pants clean. I will prly change out the tires to a hybrid or road tire. That may also get me more range. Mine will be urban focused. One question I have is how does it do in the rain? I’m hoping I can throw on a poncho and keep going. We have crazy rainy season in the desert. It usually rains on the commute home from work. ☮️

Very awesome detail review. Thanks 👍

I am definitely curious about your opinion about adding AWD conversion kit to the Wired Freedom.

This is a very well done video, one of the best I've seen on the subject. You earned a Like and a Subscribe! I have the 2024 Freedom and I am now totally sold on the No Fender look. Do you have any tips or feedback to anyone who wants to remove them both? Also, do you think any upgrade to the brakes such as 4 pots (like Magura MT5) or larger rotors is warranted? Thanks again for great video.

That rattling battery is not normal. It should be tight and snug. Mine has zero movement at all and I've not read that anyone else has a rattle in the FB groups. May want to give Steve at Wired a call.

I had metal fenders on my first fat tire folder. The rattling would drive me crazy. I don't put them on when i get a new ebike. The squeaking is dust and dirt. I ride wilderness desert trails daily. Just wipe them off.

Great review and very interested in buying one as my 1st e-Bike. Just a few questions to help me buy or not. Can the Throttle be tuned Off...in case I let others test it but not comfortable using throttle...and if so, does it allow Pedal-Assist? How easy to ride without Pedal-Assist...in case out riding and something goes wrong with Batt/Motor/Controls? Thanks in advance.

I wonder if adding one or two layers of good tape inside the frame making it unseen would tighten up the battery fit some and also help deaden any bad sounds

Yes. Need to look like you're on a real bike as much as possible. I can't say I wouldn't enjoy a Roadrunner Pro or something to go to work on . Lol Love my Kepler as a main ride to use for most purposes.

Number 1 thing is a front light that’s actually functional/mountable

Hey, I’m in South Sacramento. I have Aventon ebike and go biking downtown sac and bike trail but I haven’t gone to Folsom bike trail. I’m thinking to upgrade to Wired freedom soon….. we should connect and go biking…..

Already over 500 on mine and ive hit some very big potholes and it handles them like they are nothing. Havent come across a hill i havent been able to climb yet.

Bang for the buck.

you ever look for arrowheads there? looks like a good spot

My Wired Freedom had no issues that you are describing. I wonder why yours did? Battery is fine, not loose. Fenders never rattled once, the light mount was fine once I tightened it, the left side crank never gets loose on me either. Weird. My 2024 Freedom came in great shape, very tight and well built. Maybe you got some kind of used one or the quality control is inconsistent?

I love everything about this bike EXCEPT the chain drive and gears. Is it possiable to get it with gates belt drive?and only one gear??

I wish it had integrated turn signals

Cold around 40-45deg in the morning going into work 14 miles. I’m pretty sure Citizen Cycle is getting about the same. Maybe I should call the factory?

Reno and I have 2024 blue wired freedom

Would like to see an option for road tires.

When would you recommend servicing and putting new grease in the rear hub?

Hi my name is Forrest I live El Dorado Hills,I have a 2024 wire freedom to,I would like to go riding some time in the future,

I was wondering why your bike looked more naked than the images I usually would see! You DID take off the fenders! lol.

I have a 24 unlocked. Getting only about 34 miles on assist #1 on the road with lots of pedaling and throttle at times. 185 lb. With 25 lb air. Let me know what you think???

How's this work for a 285lb guy? I'm thinking about an Aventon. The weight capacity of the Wired is only 330lb. The power is far superior to Abenture.

my only beef is that the shimano derailer makes my chain fall off when i hit a series of bumps

I disagree with you on a couple comments you made about the Wired Freedom in your 200 mile review. Yes it has its issues and I see your points but it seems like nit-picking to me. This is not a Rolls Royce and the fenders make the bike classy and respectable. The way the bike is set up it’s a commuter not a part time dirt bike. I love everything about this bike and still plan to purchase one this summer if the Cicada bug problem doesn’t last too long here in the Midwest this year. You complained about the rear rack and chain ring the front and rear suspension pedal strikes and other things. I think you bought the wrong bike. You need a bike designed for how you ride and the terrain you ride on, rough and rugged. On the flip side, the pros of this bike are what I like to concentrate on and that is the power in all areas and the upgrades from the previous 2023 model. The upgrades are considerable has made my decision to buy an easy choice. I currently ride an AR Kepler by Ariel Rider ebikes and it’s a nice ride, basically about the same price as the Freedom but it’s a hard tail that does about 35 mph on a full charge. So the Wired Freedom would be an upgrade for me. I respect your opinion though.

I’m at almost 300 on mine, I love it, barely drive anymore

HAYWARD, CA HOVCO HOVALPHA. Thinking about wired, or one of the other 40 mph ebikes

Question?? What is the weight limit for a person who is on the larger size? Thank you!

What range are you getting off a battery charge

My 23 model has 2200 miles .

So, can I go 4 miles on throttle alone? Or must I pedal all the way?

I can't travel rite now becuz of financial reasons however if i culd i wud probly go to east and north america i have a concept

Mr. Solar Surron, You do a Great Job with Your Videos and I see You as a Very Classy Guy. Order an E-Cell’s 5 Star and do a Review on Their Bike. I would be interested in what You have to say. First, let’s compare Warrantees of both companies. Wired Freedom= Only One Year Warrantee. E-Cell’s 5 Star: Frame=Lifetime Warrantee. Motor and Battery= 2 Year Warranty. 5 Stars Other Components= One Year Warrantee. Plus, E-Cell 5 Star does Not Charge Shipping, Insurance, or Tax. About a $400 Savings. Money you can put into Up Grading Features on Your New 5 Star. Wired Freedom does Not offer Up Grades. Facts, Not Emotion. Compare fir Yourself. God’s Best, “The Sixth”

200 Miles isn't much of a long term review. I'd give it a Year or 2000 Miles. I'd like to know how these bikes hold up over time in regular use.

Does the brake light work if the headlight is not on? Haven't ridden mine yet. Thanks in advance

how fast and how far and how much please

What locks do you use/recommend?

Does anybody hear a rubbing noise from the motor while peddling going from pas2 to pas3? Rubs in 4 and 5 also....Does not rub while using the throttle only or in pas 1.....Going from pas3 to 2 it goes away.....Its like i can turn it on and off.......Almost 200 miles...LOVE the bike!!!

I found a very similar bike on the Ecells web site. It's the E-CELLS FIVE STAR E-BIKE™ 1500w 60v 20AH. Price is $1995, but there is no $250 shipping charge or shipping insurance, and NO tax. $485 savings for a nearly identical bike. Same Hentach motor and display. It's a 60 volts system with an 20AH battery. I would like to see you do a review of this bicycle if you can get your hand on one. I like the longer rear fender on the Ecells version and I think the gel infused controller is better cooled by ambient air. Check it out and let us know what you think.

The bike you have will be UPGRADED big time in June 2024 for the same price...

I never take an ebike out without tannis inserts !

in 40 years of building and racing bikes I've NEVER had a crank bolt come undone. Should never happen

You took 200 miles with that seat? I had to change it after 30 minutes

My battery doesn’t move

this bike is going for 2k, a bit too expensive for me

Promo code

Can you do me a favor and make a five minute video or three minute video on programming a passcode? If you keep these up, then I don’t have to start making videos.

Did you not get 2 batteries?
