Commuting On The E-Cells Five Star - Unrestricted 

Dude that was one of the funniest moments ever! "Umm, boss I'm running late this morning. Well....um... you see, I'm kinda stuck in a skate pool". Awesome video man! Glad you're enjoying your 5⭐! Absolutely agree about ebikes! They've opened up a whole new world in my small town, even after living here for 20 years. It's such a blast exploring. Congratulations on hitting 2k subs!👍

I like the content. You give us more than just a bike a review. We get your thoughts and experiences while on the ride. And sometimes you say some funny things. 😊

Thanks! Thanks for entertaining us. Your sense of humor and unique tours are your special niche. And you do good bike reviews too! But your humor is one of a kind. Hope my modest donation will help with your Motrin budget for aches and pains from your hard work!

Great video as usual. Completely agree everything you said about riding in to work versus driving in. I drive a 2023 Tacoma(luv that truck) and I ride to work as much as the weather allows. I haven't bought gas in a six weeks. Not only do I leave work like I'm Fred Flintstone leaving the Slate and Gravel Company (dating my self) but I get the treat of riding my bike home. Later Big Dawg..............................also,beware of modern day dinosaurs.

What’s up from OC, great to see your channel growing man and taking the best ebike review channel in my book status, been subbed since December 23, keep keeping on!

Bay Area is just unlivable now... even turkeys out there are attacking you. Stay safe out there

Your encounter with the turkey reminded of river rafting, silently coming around a corner, a bend really, and you would startle an unsuspecting moose, bear, caribou because they never heard you coming. Luv your stuff.

Well that was an entertaining video for sure. Thanks for the pedal check. Turkey cracked me up. I enjoy your content so much, I feel bad pointing out you mis-typed Flat Out as Glat Out on your link (but maybe I'll get over feeling bad).

best pic ever with our beautiful American Flag !!

Next time you're stuck in a pool, try the walk mode by holding the down button for a long time and it will kick the motor on and help you walk up the hills.

Love that FLAG! Semper Fi!! 🇺🇲

Laughed pretty hard at the opening clip. I've got about 60 miles on mine already including some pretty rough trails and getting it up a steep creek bank from a stop is by far the biggest workout I've had on the bike. Had to stop and catch my breath. It's really impressive how it powers through obstacles, it takes a minute to figure out how much to trust the bike's ability to push you up a hill. I found myself expecting to come to a stop on certain hills, but it gets a little trippy when it doesn't slow down and just rips up the hill instead. Minor things I've noticed so far: - the cable from the cadence sensor is hanging down below the bottom bracket. First a branch snagged it and unplugged the connector, then later the cap / ring thing that holds the sensor in place came loose. Both easy fixes, just plugged it back in and snapped the cap back in place. Tip for other owners, the loose wire coming from the cadence sensor should be tied or taped tight against the frame to avoid snagging brush you ride over. Thankfully they welded a little post under the BB to protect the sensor from getting smashed on rocks or branches. -the derailer and gear set are kinda cheap and will probably need a little tuning / adjustment, but obviously there's a reason why this bike is $1995, not $4,000-6,000 like their other bikes. Not a real problem, just something to note. -not a big fan of the bmx style bars. I get that an upright riding position is more "comfortable," but the geometry just feels a little weird. I definitely like them more for cruising down the road and less for off-road. I came down some steep banks and wrenched the bars forward two different time because there's just so much leverage with the distance from the grips to the headstock. I think I'm just going to swap them out with a mountain bike riser bar that maybe cuts the height in half. This one for me comes down to preference and the type of riding I want to do. -you can tell it's heavier in the rear with that big hub motor. Approaching rocks and other obstacles on the trail, I try to give it a little bunny hop action to keep all my weight from totally bearing down on the wheels and I can tell the rear end just doesn't want to come up. The power of the bike just throws you off at first, because it feels like you're pushing a spry, nimble mountain bike and your muscle memory kind of kicks in, then you do something non-motor related like trying to push it up a half pipe and you quickly realize how heavy a 90+ pound bike is. For the price of this bike I'm totally blown away. All I can compare it to is the Radmission Bike I have that cost $1000 in 2019. 500 watts, single speed, no suspension, wimpy battery... the five star feels like both a tank and a Ferrari compared to the Rad bike, easily five times the bike for less than twice the cost. If anyone wants to upgrade a particular feature to suit their liking, they can do it and the bike is priced in a way that doesn't force you to pay extra for upgrades that aren't important to you.

Maybe go on circles around the skate pool then building up speed like NASCAR track.. then get higher and higher 😂

Awesome video enjoyed it a lot stay out of skate parks glad you didn’t get messed up trying to get out of the skate park 😊

Enjoyable videos that continue to be unique. Even including promotions without repetitive overdone salesmanship like many of the other ebike channels. 👍

Another great video Bug Dawg!

Great skatepark & wild turkey footage - well done!

You definitely want those turkeys around. They keep the rattlesnakes at bay.

I love how each company will fight over who copied who, but the factories in China are probably across the street from each other, and just passing the blue prints back and forth and designed each. As long as someone is selling their bikes, they don't care. I'm so happy there's this competition now. My guess is one of the companies will release the dual motor bike for almost the same price now.

Nice run and awesome bike

Loved the unrestricted review might be ordering this bike this month, but I for sure won't be beating the thing up but it's nice to see how durable the bike is.

Great video, Duuuude..!

Awesome thanks

I agree. Definitely should always have flat out in your tires!

hey great video dude... how do you go about locking your bike at the gym? or any public place? I ordered my first e-bike and would like to know the best way to keep ypur bike safe.

I agree getting out before work does wonders for my attitude. I take my slow Himiway Cruiser (27mph) to work every chance I get (20min drive or 20min bike ride). Need to get myself one of those bikes and go (40+).

What can be done to stop the noise from the metal fenders❓️

Do you know where I can get an ecell five star bike at

I ride my bikes everywhere (fatty, street, mountain). First the regular ones in the morning, for exercise…@20 miles of trail, and then e-bike for errands, groceries, and fun. Be careful

Hope you're able to get the new freedom. Would love to see your review on it.

good to know this one has less pedal strikes than the other bike that shall not be named. more comparisons are welcome.

Nice commute, that was a fast turkey!

Nice. I like the narrower bars over the Other bike. Also got my first rear flat on our Tesway on 60 mi round trip today in farmland

That bike is rad I also like the wired freedom you have which one do you like better and what are the prices of each

Love the video dude ! , did you say you carry an extra battery with you ?

I think that turkey was leading you away from her babies.

Great video chithead

I hear a lot of clanking when you go off road. Is that the fender? I know you said you are going to do something about the chain but is there anything else you can do to the bike to make it less noisy on bumps?

Hey man that sounds is from Batman and Robin episodes lol😂

Classic

You had me @ the batman music....😮

For your specific daily commute, what are the biggest differences between this and the Freedom?

I messed up with this electric fever shift I’ve sing watching road bike videos and there so much fun. I have to get me a road bike I like pedaling

Truth...ride and live life....

Is that frame 19 inches and is that the same as the other one that not be named?

Fun day!

I'm not laughing at you I'm laughing with you during that skate park scene. It kind of reminded me of the movie snatch where the thief couldn't get out of the bank and if he would have just pulled the door open he could have got out.

Haven't been down that alley shortcut in so long. Crazy how everything seems so much bigger when you're a kid.

Did you get a torque sensor model?

It’s funny how both you and the happy guy both dropped the ecells bikes. 😂 too much to handle😂😂😂

Great video! So happy that you did not have to wear a Gorilla Suit and stand on the corner with a sign for that store going out of business....🤣😅 too hot for that....

Do you like the 5 star over the freedom?

One suggestion for alleviating "lost/forgot phone" syndrum... Sandpiper of California Triangle messenger sling bag. For night rides... Noxgear Tracer2 LED light vest...BRIGHT, lightweight, distinctive &

Which chain stay you buying for the 5 star

17:28 Yikes crash was on the drive side! Check if the rear derailleur hanger is bend

I think you could gotten out of that skatepark in the granny gear and full throttle. I got to try this myself seems like a challenge.

Just another chitty day at the skatepark😅😅😅 always carry your bat lanyard big dog😂

Can the grips be replaced with aftermarket grips?

So was the dip in the pool part of living the unrestricted lifestyle???

Holy chit, Wired just released a better bike to put ecells behind again. You MUST review it. Wonder who will be first to release a dual 1500w motor bike…love both companies.

I'm gonna ride to work once it gets warmer. Its like 40° at 630am and I just don't wanna do that. Especially when I work outside all day

U almost hit a tree....

Couldn't you ride around the pool to gain momentum and then launch out? And does the Five Star have a walk mode? Also, have you seen that video from England (I think) where the thieves take the angle grinder to a section of the rack itself, and then slide the bike out of the gap? Scary.

Finally someone old enough to know what a goat head is. I'm real close to pulling the trigger on this bike. How tall are you & do you have enough clearance for your "twig and berries" while you're standing over the bar?

I dont have chit to say but here's a comment.

Damn I thought you were going to eat that tree.

Fighting a turkey is my usual gym warmup routine.

Oh shit...sorry about that....that kinda stuff does suck!

Is this the 17 or 19 inch frame?

I just beat cancer and got a e-bike to get outside …I use my throttle a lot on my WALLKE H9 …. I regret getting a moped style bike 😞

U went back home....I thought the Puppy told u it was hooked to a charger....

I try to avoid skate parks... I can hurt myself just watching..

Bro stop flexing your multi million dollar accommodation on us peasants! 🤣

Blah Blah Blah...ummmm we dont want this after you showed us your MOTO BIKE...guess you to old lol hahaha nice vids as usual

The Lock Picking Lawyer would open that in under 60 seconds

I can't pedal anymore.

Someone stole my Onyx cty2 the other morning, and I've only owned it for 2 months now. There seems to be very little hope that I'll ever get that bike back again, and I dumped all the money I had into purchasing it. Hell, I can't even express how devastated I am, and how devastated I've been for the last 2 and 1/2 days that I've went back and forth done every street in my town, trying to locate that bike. For if I did express how devastated I am, I'm almost positive that I'd be admitted to a mental institution by midnight, all because someone, somewhere wanted to feel better about themselves.

$5....🤯 No Walmart....that in and of itself is a good thing....right.....?

In the city I have to deal with beavers dropping trees on you, deer, coyotes, porcupines and loose dogs. Outside the city it’s all of the for-mentioned plus bear, wolves, big horn sheep and the most feared… free range bulls protecting their harem. Don’t mess with free range bulls. Nice commute you, why are the streets empty?

I’ll get out of that pool hecka easy

I go to same gym. We should go together

Looking Dorky is subjective...

Imagine howfast that Turkey would be ON the bike

I like your videos and channel but Ecell is getting beat with new Wired Cruiser& Freedom dual battery for same price. Ecell will have difficulty selling unless they upgrade to dual battery. Always great to watch your videos. 👍

BIG DAWG needs to focus more on CARDIO @ the gym instead of BENCH PRESSING. Uhm 1 hour on the treadmill will do wonder and prevent further ponchy(ness).

Kryptonite...$34.95...3 years of bike insurance up to $2500

Would ecells donate a bike so i can review gheir bike snd show people the features it has.

Well, at least you could have called your attacker a turkey while still remaining politically correct. Great ride.

Landscaping is 5 star...🤔

I am sure he is a nice guy, but he is breaking the law by riding on the wrong side of the street, blowing through stop signs, and speeding on the sidewalks. In these videos we must abide by the laws or the Government will Regulate and pass laws that will restrict our Freedom. We all do not what that. We have to be conscious of this fact when filming. I am sure you do not want your Affiliation Relationship pulled from E-Cells. This guy does a good job and I Appreciate his passion. Let’s just follow the rules and be respectful to others to keep the Gov. off our backs.

Turkey is going to beat your butt...

Get in touch with wired right away! They have a new bike and it comes with a second battery under the rear rack and still 1999. Citizen cycle just did his video.

Typical RU-vid Ebike influencer who doesnt give a crap about a bike and doing stupid shit no owner is going to do. All for view.

Inclines with that weight and no spotter....💪🦵 Impressive...
