@NicholasMackris-iq5uh 4 месяца назад

Alex - Once again you have hit it out of the ballpark with this additional information on this bike. The controller gel you describe is amazing ; it's the first time I have heard of it. I have seen reviews of other high powered bikes that either lost power or stopped completely because they overheated. The reviewers mentioned the problem but no solution was given. This alone is a reason to buy this bike. All the updated information that the manufacturer has provided is extremely helpful & gives a person a true understanding of what they are purchasing. Finally the price (including free shipping) is fantastic & the smaller frame size for shorter riders like myself is something that will sell this bike over the competition.

The down-tube on the ecell is much thinner where the battery sits than the new wired frame. It is definitely different but similar geometry. I hope someone with both bikes does a side by side video 😮soon!! $400 difference is hard to ignore though.

@stevenwilliams4343 4 месяца назад

The frame they use has been used for years on the monarch with all sorts of duel motor options and still same frame with each,including off road models. Definitely proven to be strong enough " tried and true" I believe is the term that fits 👍

It’s more like closer to $600 difference if you add up everything including sales tax that you have to pay for the wired bike. And E Cells has a much better and longer warranty program

If the entire pcb and components is encased in the gel, and there is no water ingress where the wires are (like the video clip I showed) why would it not be virtually waterproof? With the exception of submerging it into deep water, I don't see how water could get in.

The only thing I don't like about E-Cells is that every other bike they ever had seemed like it was like $5,000 until Wired started with the $2k Freedom and now E-Cells seems like they are trying to catch up to the market trend of not overpricing bikes.

@maximumchargeEV 4 месяца назад

If you look into the components that are used in their top end models they are very high end top shelf parts, not the usual stuff we see on bikes.

@_80210 4 месяца назад

@justinwhite2951 Thats a good thing, right? Competition is always good for us consumers. Imagine if there was only one single retail e-bike manufacturer/company out there producing bikes. They would own the market and could pretty much set any price they wanted to for someone to own an e-bike. I tip my hat to ECells for being competitive. 👍🏻

@justinwhite2951 4 месяца назад

It is absolutely a good thing. But I like to credit the companies that deliver value to the consumer first rather than the ones that gained outrageous margins the last several years on overpriced bikes. It’s all good but I don’t think we should be giving E Cells too much credit here. They came down in price pretty late in their history and only because other manufacturers figured out how to do it better, faster and cheaper.

@blackwhirlwind1245 3 месяца назад

For me, wired freedom is overpriced, I would be okay with 2K out the door price, but in reality, you will ended up paying $2500 with shipping and tax, wired hides all other extra fees, which why I hate it. They should have clearly stated that shipping and tax will be applied just next to the $2000 price tag. I would not buy any e-bike over $2000, I would have bought the wired freedom if it’s truly just $2000 out the door.

I wanted to share my experience with an eBike that I have recently owned. The Juiced RCS with the Off-road eBike controller that I bought last fall. It is an excellent eBike that provides riders with the benefits of torque while still feeling like a bike, not a motorcycle with pedals. It is an amazing setup, particularly at the price point. However, it lacks rear suspension, and it could use a bit more speed. I researched other options and considered the Wired Freedom, but it wasn't refined enough for my taste. The Wired Freedom is an experiment in raw power with a few guys specing out the bike from a supplier in China, buying closeout frames, and building a bike around it (Gen1). Hats off to them for finding Hentech, but the rest of the bike is a parts bin bike. The Gen 2 is more closeout frames that did not sell, all 18.5s. I then came across the ECells eBike and was impressed by its design and quality. David at ECells leveraged his known suppliers and built something with a solid foundation. The frame comes with multiple size options, which is an indicator of a real supply chain. The bike also features decent components, such as the Deore Derailleur. The potted controller is another great feature that will limit the ability to shunt it, but the bike should still be faster than anyone needs it to be. Mr Cleveland is big on rider safety and understands the impact it has on the industry. The cutout rims are just another indication of his attention to detail and leveraging his established supply chain, which means replacement parts will not be an issue. Overall, I think this eBike would be fantastic with Grin's new Super Harness and an Erider torque sensor. These additions would make the eBike even more enjoyable and perfect for riders who want to go fast and still feel like they are riding a bike.

My guess is that less than 1% of all ebike purchasers will be interested in shunt modding so I think for the majority of consumers the gel is a plus, but I see where you are coming from. Can you remove some of it, and refill it with your own?

@trsdamocles 4 месяца назад

@maximumchargeEV I burned it out with a soldering iron and refilled with silicone. They were located at the end of the pcb but it was a clear gel. I wanted to shuntmod my wallke but it clearly didn't have stunts. Must be a different setup in that controller. Word to the wise with wallke bikes is not to modify a wallke....they never have parts and it's hard to communicate with them.

I live in Chicago so I could just pickup a Wired Freedom for free. But with free shipping, no sales tax and a two year warranty on motor/battery I might just go for the Five Star. I haven't decided yet. I currently have a cheapo Amazon eBike so I'm not in a hurry (I daily-commute on my ebike).

I downloaded the catalog from Hentach and cannot find any motor rated over 48V. Is that a red flag?

@maximumchargeEV 3 месяца назад

Motors can be run at whatever voltage they can handle. Most motor ratings on manufacturer websites show specs for 48v, but they are regularly run at 52v, 60v, even 72v

@jimsilva5344 3 месяца назад

I understand that you can run the motor with different voltage. The point is they are not rated for power over 48V So what happens over time? Will it void warranty? Will it shorten expected life?

@oldmanebikes8392 4 месяца назад

I have herd that the holes in the wheels make the wheels bend easier like jumping up curbs and also I think they help with more suspension in the tires being able to squish better so some good and some bad.

@user-hy1dy2tp8z 11 дней назад

I'd like to know why there is a $300 up charge on entire purchase if I simple wish to add another item that really isn't an upgrade but akin to an accessory. It's my understanding that this self-inflicted EV tariff is 25% of purchase price of item/part! You should note that Biden wants to raise it to 100%. Now, if that item; let's say a bike or a battery, was in stock on US soil prior to 06/15,/2024, it is exempt from fee. So, if I buy a bike that is already stateside, aka in stock, and simply want to get another battery; only available via an upgrade from E-Cell; why the additional $300 fee on top of the cost of the $500 battery which is listed as being subject to the fee on E-Cells Website. I'd be better off getting their stock bike then examine it's wiring and adapting it to another like/equivalent battery purchased elsewhere. Why would anyone pay $800 for a $500 battery 🔋that can be had for $369 elsewhere! 😮❗

Update: My comment above is not accurate. ECells just made a short video and I went back to Google Earth and ECells has building and storage containers. It appears to be a real small business and we know they have been around for a while. So my mistake on making this comment and if I had the ability I would take it down. Nothing wrong with small businesses!!

@richardkey1678 4 месяца назад

At 5:00 you begin talking about the rear rack and it is a bit confusing because you are showing two different racks in the pictures & drawings. I'd like to know which one is going to be included, and the dimensions, and capacities. Both appear to attach to the bike in the same manner which seems to be a better setup than the Wired bike. I like the racks they are using on their two wheel drive models since it appears to be a longer rack, but they appear to sit up higher which I don't like. I'd like to see the specs on the one that is going to be used. A long low rack is what I'd like to see. I placed my order for the Five Star last week not just because of the real world money savings & better construction, but because it also seems to have a better warranty. I searched the Wired site for warranty info but found none. I imagine it's 12 months. Those extras you mentioned at the end of the video are those exclusive to your discount code? I used a code but it was not yours. So, for those of us that have already placed our orders, are we going to get those extra goodies? I subbed primarily to hear your updates about this bike. I want to hear the good, the bad, and the ugly, and here's hoping the last two are few.

@maximumchargeEV 3 месяца назад

true, there are a few photos floating around, but the ones I labeled "actual photos of five star rack" will be what the rack looks like. I believe the extras are included regardless of the code you use. Enjoy!

We’ll see on the testing when bike comes out. They can perfectly legally build a bike similar to the freedom. But make it better off the freedoms defects. Car manufacturers do it every year. Freedom right now have bad frames and forks. Not looking good for them. This is from all the complaints on user groups on Facebook. I will still change out them handlebars. Never liked the look.
