After considering buying ebikes for several months and then honing in on the Wired Freedom, I caught wind of ECells, watched some YT reviews and ordered my two Five Stars for the wife and I in June as I wanted to beat the tarriff caused price bump. They had in stock a red one and a blue one and that's what I ordered. I received one the NEXT DAY (I live in a Los Angeles suburb) and the second one the day after that. The bikes are awesome, solid and stable at all speeds and I ride several times per week and give this 77 year old a good workout. Loving the way it laughs at the all the hills around here. I take them out to my second home in Boulder City, NV and ride the awesome bike paths out there. The upgrades I've done are water bottle cages, bar end mirrors, flashing safety lights for the fronts and rears with horns and different seats. I also got brake rotor locks with motion alarms. Don't think you can go wrong with ECells.
I love my Dual Star. I've added lighted pedals, a handlebar accessary bar, a Bluetooth speaker, and a Quad-Lock phone mount. I went with the theory of buying someone's cancelled custom order. I called up and they said they would be on the lookout for something that I liked. Within 2 weeks, I had a red Dual Star with black rims, torque sensor, RockShox suspension, and a few other accessories. I love my bike. I watched your video on the dropper seat post. The dropper will be next on the list. I'm in California also. I love riding it around the city and I'm finding more and more trails to ride on. I haven't seen anyone around my city to ride with, which is a bummer. I guess wind therapy will have to be the thing for now.
Sounds like my story! Did a ton of research, was considering the wired freedom, finally decided to go with the Ecells five star, then upgraded to a dual star! Mine is a red 19” frame
That how I found my ebike, was wired freedom but was too big. Then found ecell 5 star was at 17inch. Then ecell came out with stepstar and that's what I am waiting on!!! Should be getting mid Nov!!!
I have the same bike as you. I originally ordered just the regular Ecells with a single battery and original fork. After 3 months of waiting for my order, customer service called me and said we have a dual star that someone canceled on, would I be interested in upgrading. For a small fee, I was able to the dual star with the upgraded forks, and it arrived to me the next day. I live in Las Vegas and they are located in Pahrump NV. I also have upgraded many things on my dual star to customize it to my liking.
Excellent video. Too many folks jump at buying Ebikes without doing their homework. I had pages of research before buying my Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra but the 5 Star is a very good choice also. I like that you thought about what you are going to use the bike for, then did months of research. Also, know who you are buying from and their service reputation. Great advice.
@@AwesomelyRad It's my second ebike and I really like it. Not inexpensive but I got some extras on it. Better brakes, extra battery, rear hub and light. I changed the tires to 2.8" road tires from 3" off road tires and that made a huge difference. The bike is very powerful and has a very solid feel on the road. I feel like it's a small electric motorcycle which is what I wanted. I am impressed with the companies service responses so far. They seem ethical and the company is solid.
love the videos i just realized when i was done with the vid you only now have 76 subs i love the video its very well produced i can hear you cleary and good video reselution im subbed with notification on i hope to see more from you. 13 btw so sorry for spelling
i just wish I had ordered one with 24-inch wheels I am old now and its hard for me at 5'10 probably never get used to the size you learn a lot buy buying other odd bikes we have an AWD amyet S8 and you learn why AWD e-bikes without complex controller are dangerous as all heck thanks for the great videos you are a very articulate creator I bought the 5 star for a similar reason
I know the bike is your favorite but I have a himiway cruiser for two years now and although it doesn’t have dual batteries or full suspension, my choice was easy for the price. I thought about others too but now I’m convinced it was the best $1000 I ever spend. Great video 👍
Thank you for reminding me to charge my battery for work later. Lol .. I am looking at the E-Cells Monstar or Dual battery Goat bikes Billy Goat. Have fun.
In all honesty… how many days did you had to wait to get that e-bike from ecells??? Because I have been waiting for 100 days right now and still haven’t gotten it
I originally ordered a Five Star with some options on March 31st. Then I upgraded my order to the Dual Star on May 9. I got my Dual Star on September 1st. (Had I not changed my order, my Five Star would have arrived in July.) Hope this helps!
Call and see if they have any cancellations on orders. I called every couple of days, and they called me and let me know that they had one in stock. I had one in 2 weeks from start to finish.
Awesome work! I am very impressed with your audio, video and the content!! Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks-that means a lot to me!

@@JohnBabcock-qy1cs I’m still really tempted to buy a Motor Goat, but figure I’ll see if they release a slightly more powerful one…
