ECELLS founder talks Five Star E-bike | Exclusive Interview! 

thx for watching

cant wait to get mine!

You are not considering that you will need to buy an extra battery that Wired includes in price. This brings them back to even.

I got 38 miles on my first range test with plenty of hills

One you go ebike you can’t go back!

Awesome

41 with 2 young boys, I tow a trailer with them and intend to tow dogs later. Ever try to pedal with a trailer? Sure I could pedal, I have, but not really a relaxing experience. Ebikes extend the functionality for me 1000%

Nice! I'm curious how it changed your life considering you are in. great shape?

Thanks I need to do that

Still worth it!

@@ChrisCrossed I think so. Especially the HUGE amount of money saved by doing multiple upgrades BEFORE the bike is delivered. My price after the $100 code was around $3100

I think the 5star is the one for you, I love how it has a normal bike frame.

YEP! Me too. I read that 40 MPH is the sweet spot. Going 50 MPH even on a bike with pedals gets you pulled over on your fist street ride. LOL Going 30 to 40mph is a visual event that draws very little scrutiny. You know there is a USA made ($13,000) Ebike that goes almost 70 MPH? And yep, its got pedals! Go figure. The 60 MPH version is$9K. The LTD edition of 30 total costs a whopping $18K!!! Crazy. I just ordered a heavily upgraded Ecells Five Star. Over $3000!

lol, been here for 3 years bro! Ecells may be slightly cheaper $$$ and you can customize it more. Might have a longer wait time though.

@@ChrisCrossed It must be Google then, cause they just started to come up and I'd never seen them before..... I'm sure interested though.

Such is the ebike world, things are constantly evolving

Yeah I always prefer cadence sensors on any powerful e-bikes.

I believe so, will find out, i want to get PAS 1 down a little

@@ChrisCrossed Thanks.

@@ChrisCrossed Thanks.

Motors can be replaced , battery can be rebuilt, I wouldn’t worry too much about the what if’s. But Ecells is well established at this point.

I didn’t run the website you’ll have to ask Ecells

oh sorry

Yes they have a wide variety of settings to change, more to come on that.

@@ChrisCrossed I'm glad they have a wide variety of settings to change, but can I raise and lower the PAS levels?

dont think so just USA

You can put something called Flat Out in the tires that will seal any holes.

Mr Raja8806 If you dont want a bunch slime sloshing around its not too late to call Ecells and add this critical upgrade: Tannus Armour Liners (Installed) (+$189.00) Are tannus liners worth it? an owner wrote: "I installed these inserts before heading to AZ for months of riding in the desert. So far no flats even though I've pulled out multiple thorns from the tires. They add weight to the bike, you may not feel as nimble or agile on the bike but I feel I have much better traction." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HPh0es8EGWc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Dfx6UbycifM.html

I actually offered to interview the Wired guy a few months ago but strangely he declined.

40mph, made in China but Ecells is a small company based in Nevada

@@ChrisCrossed You mean Ecells five star bike is made in China!!!!! not USA???? So Ecells Five Star isn't the US made Ebike!!!! Chinese products have quality issues. I had a chinese e-bike before. The tire quality was really poor. I changed that 3 times

@@ChrisCrossed Can you please assure me that this e-bike's equipment and electrical components are well-checked in the USA ? Because my past experience with Chinese e-bike was really bad. I am really interested in purchasing this e-bike so I am asking. Also, do you guys have any servicing center in Mesa, Arizona?

Welcome to da club!

I’ll check

@@ChrisCrossed thanks much. Looking into a suspension seatpost

Better website, bike graphics and bike names

I found their website has all the information that I need, everything is clearly written.

Plenty of accessories on Amazon, they do use name brand cells, UL would be nice...

@@ChrisCrossed for example, if I want rear basket, how do I know whether the rear basket on Amazon will fit?

@@blackwhirlwind1245 something like this basket is universal amzn.to/3xK1Qi6

@@ChrisCrossed doesn’t seem like it is gonna be secured without using bolts and screws.

@@blackwhirlwind1245 i use it on one of my bikes, the straps are great and hold it tightly

Not sure what to tell you, I engaged him via facebook too and offered to interview him.

@ChrisCrossed I collaborated over 100 companies all sizes and this is the first one. Says a lot about culture and integrity!

Link to the post? He has tons of people messaging him and has been extremely responsive. I called him up and easily had a conversation.

​@@ElectricVehicleSpace Thats very surprising!? He don't know your channel? You do great ebike reviews! 🤦‍😎👍

@Wize817 thank you. I like to test cool ebikes. Only select and review things that worth to invest the time and effort. Their ebikes seem to fit the bill.

This is a U.S. company so hard to blame them for wanting to stay local. Ecells has a good reputation here.

@@ChrisCrossed I believe you friend. However they sell to other countries. The shipping fee to here is $932. I was almost buying it. I talked to them, called them. Everything was going fine. David was very polite at first, even thou sometimes he took days to respond simple things. I was going to buy the Super Monarch 1000, but talked to a cargo agent and it was going to be super expensive for me due to taxes. Then I changed to the 600W hardtail which was what I could afford. I asked David if I could get the Tannus linners and $200 cupon code (which I know I could get $300 on the site and have proof of that) and he got mad and sad he wouldn't sell it to me, because it was too much trouble for him. The thing is he wanted me to do a cashier's check as a method of payment, but as I said multiple times to him in Brazil we don't do that anymore so he had to pass me some bank info, which is very normal here and worldwide I believe. He was pissed at this I guess. But he never helped me to find another solution, despite me trying everything I could to buy the bike, because I really wanted it. I spent almost 2 weeks talking to cargo agents and to my bank, trying to figure out some solution. David did nothing to help. I don't know why he did me dirty. I wasn't rude at any point, but he shut me down and blocked me. He even said he would never sell it to me when I alerted some people on the YT comment section. Some one that does that clearly doesn't care about customer service

Just buy a bike in your market, your being a pain in the ass and you know it
