Thoughts 👇Buying a Wired ebike? Using our link supports Ebike Escape: wiredebikes.com/?sca_ref=4626879.xquaFZljq4 (affiliate link)
You can't buy that version anymore. The new version, same price comes with a 45amp controller, a higher output motor, 206mm four piston brakes front and back and an added 15 Amp 60 volt battery that fits between the rack and back fender.
I believe the suspension bars are thicker as well, has a newer LCD with better dial in for pas modes.
Yep, looks like they just updated it.
@@EbikeEscape Yep, been out for a month now, over 10% more power and 50% more range.
I have the 2024 in titian orange, so far I love it.
@@EbikeEscape It's been updated for some time now... I pulled the trigger weeks ago on the dual battery version, 45amp potted controller, 3200w peak motor setup. I know videos take a while to film, edit, upload, etc. but tech moves fast... worth the double check before uploading if you want to become an authority, IMO.
I hope Wired sends you a new cruiser model for review, it would be a better fit. The new bikes peak at 3200 watts and are noticeably more powerful than the previous models. Your concerns about bike classes and legality are well founded. However, these bikes appeal to older adults and look like regular bikes as opposed to kids riding Surrons or e moped type bikes. We old guys don’t want to wheelie, but would like to be able to keep up with traffic when needed for safety. 750watts and 28mph is just arbitrary and makes little sense given most streets are 30-35mph speed limits. If you keep it under 30mph on public roads and are responsible on bike paths, you will never have an issue. Wired has a very efficient business model and is packing in enormous value at competitive prices. They are buying large quantities of bikes which keeps the prices low but demand is so high that they sell out most batches before they are made. They provide outstanding customer service with the Owners handling the calls directly. As opposed to all those Chinese brands or the big impersonal brands, Wired seems focused on providing outstanding customer service … and it’s in English! Wired does zero marketing and has no direct social media presence, all their energy is on design, fulfillment, and customer service.
Couldn’t have said it better ourselves. Surrons and such are definitely a different class. Which model do you have? Have you gotten to ride the new model?
I have the original V1 Freedom from May of 2023, but have had the opportunity to ride all of the bikes and several prototypes because I happen to live a mile from one of the owners and he has asked my opinion on several bikes. I have tried the full suspension Cruiser prototype with the new drivetrain and immediately put in my order. The combination of 26x4 tires with full suspension and a really powerful drivetrain is a game changer. The guys that own Wired are independently wealthy outside of the bike business so they have no investors or bank interest to pay so with their efficient model and large orders they can still make a profit while offering such great value. The new thru axle and 203mm rotors and four piston brakes makes the bike that much safer and the extra 1000 watts and 15ah rear battery is pretty astounding considering they have kept the price the same.
Only the biggest chumps buy anything from Steve at Wired. Those bikes are garbage and can’t go over ten mph without wobbling uncontrollably
I just received the updated 2024 dule battery wired freedom. This thing is an absolute beast. Granted, I haven't put many miles on it yet, and I'm not an ebike expert, but I love this thing so far
Same here. Good luck with it 👍
You got scammed into buying the biggest death trap ebike on earth. Good luck not getting killed from the thing wobbling at high speeds and crashing
@dixienormis3614 I'm 62 with very serious illness. I have been riding it. I can't take my hands off or a chair let alone a bike . I have no plans to take it off of class 2. It's perfict for the type of riding I do. I'm not saying the wobble isn't an issue but it's not for me my son has an ecell he loves it and I love my wired thank you for your concern 👍
@@dixienormis3614tell me more about this. I just go lt my wired last week and it does have some wobble issues when I get up to speed, plus the battery goes from 100 to 90% within just 10 min of riding.
latest model has a rear second battery as seen on your thumbnail. the one you are reviewing is not that current version on your thumbnail.
Just updated our thumbnail - designer used the wrong one. Apologies.
My first ebike was himiway, just bought this wired freedom. 5-6 days a week. 40 plus miles for 3 years almost everyday. My himiway over 15000 miles in 3 years. I golf ball hunt at night so i go pavement to the fairways alot. Have a extra battery i use. I hope this cuts my ride time down a bit, lots of hills. But if you look at wausau in wisconsin i go to merrill, mosinee, ringle alot. Next weekend to minocqua camping. If you would like a real world review get ahold of me. I havent driven a car in 2 years lol
Why post a video for an old version that is no longer available???
The whole new version being out thing notwithstanding (which is very abnormal), overall I was glad to find this review and relieved at your well prepared knowledge! For anyone buying the Wired based off this review will only be met with getting more for the same price!
Why are you doing a review on a discontinued model?
This is the old version,the new one has been out for a few months now
As in the other comments , this is the early 2024 model not the current model
For the cruise control, you didn't mention what button you have to hold down to set it.
Good catch! You hold the "-" button down until cruise shows up on the screen.
How will I be able to mount rear cargo basket to the rear rack if there will be second battery in the new model will there be enough space in between the battery and the rack for the mounting screws ?
Wheres the link to the over ride panel walk through? Can you disable the throttle??
Here is a link to the manual: www.szktdz.com/upload/file/20180814/20180814091428_61636.pdf
I also walk you through how to do it @23:01
Mine is coming on the 8th!
You’re going to have a death wobble that can not be fixed. Steve is going to try to send you some Visco headset he claims will fix it but it doesn’t fix anything, the bike still wobbles dangerously. Don’t expect Steve to accept a return either, he will only insult you and try to blame you for the problems with his product
@@dixienormis3614I sent them an email about my rear fender being crushed by the rear bar and they did was ask me for my order number. I sent them pictures and it’s been a week now with no response, nothing. You’d think spending $2500 that they’d be a bit more professional..and not to mention the amount of Chinese made parts when they claim to be a USA company. I’m not fully satisfied with this bike.
Disappointed. Your screenshot shows the most recent version of the bike. You are reviewing the previous model that is unavailable. At best this is just not smart. At worst, it’s intentional bait and switch
No bait and switch intended. Our thumbnail designer pulled the wrong image - it's corrected now and apparently they just launched the new version.
No worries. The new version was announced over a month ago, with several videos out with the prototype. Mine arrives on Tuesday! Guess I was just excited for additional info. This review of the previous model is thorough and well done. It’s obvious that a lot of time and effort went into it. Looking forward to your future videos
Yeah! I thought it was the new updated version. 🥲
To be fair, its unexpected for a company to release a new version so close to the last and this is likely the reason for mixup plus apart from the addition of a secondary battery, and a few minor upgrades, its very close to the version he is reviewing.
Id agree with bait/switch IF all changes were the inverse (ie: downgrades) of all the chgs being upgrades for same price or if this was intentional, but I dont think so.
I appreciate the knowedgable review without reading from a script, although the flipside of this is just how prepared his review was, they somehow missed the fact there was a new version.
There’s a new plus model…………
That's a cool bike!
When you boys bringing those bikes to lacrosse so we can all get out on the rail trail with these bikes?
Ha, don't make it that direction too often but there are some nice trails there!
@@EbikeEscape think it's time for a road trip boys
Does this one wobble too?
The new one wobbles like crazy nothing can fix it. Steve at wired will cry and call you names if you complain or try to return this death trap
@@dixienormis3614 I have heard some bad stories regarding that owner....so glad I did not choose them
That's the old version
Can you put a baby seat on it?
It's possible but I think there are some better options that are more made for child seats
Only if you actually want to crash with your child on the bike because this bike has a major flaw that makes it wobble uncontrollably
You tested a full suspension off road fat tire ebike and never took it off road. What a waste of time.
I would not be able to ride this bike on the bike paths in my town. Sad.
Set it to Class 2 mode so it doesn't go over 20 mph. That way it's safe and legal. If you are in the US at least. In Europe the bike speed limit seems to be 25 kmh or about 15 mph. There's too many cars on the road going 30+ in the States and not as many bike routes so it's safer for us to have faster bikes so long as we ride them safely.
It's not a $2000 bike when you inlude the $325 for shipping and insurance.
It was $2500 total, stupid shipping and tax
Stay connected with EV is a fake reviewer who buys fake subs and views. More subs than Tailhappy with only 700k total views. He is a slanderous troll who has it in for Wired and is working with the ex con owner of the competition.
Steve from Wired is the real con. He sells a messed up bike that wobbles and is not rideable whatsoever and if you try to return it he cries and refuses
after 20 or 30 miles you will want to get off of it....second battery not needed......motor has a 1500 watt rating...anything more than that you are just burning it up...
So glad i pulled the trgger on my Ecells 5Star Dual Star in early May 2024.. The 5 Star General Commands The Field.
Must be an old video. You not talking about the correct video. Some of your info is incorrect. Realized about 1/8 of the way through.
A new one has been launched with some updates
How tall are you. Why does Wired always get people less than 5'10" to do their reviews on this bike? Because the frame is too small for people taller than 5'10". Tall people are suppose to be happy with jacking the seat up a mile and be bunched up to the handle bars because there isn't sufficient reach to make a more controlled comfortable ride experience. The people that design and make these bikes are very short people.
I’m 6’5” and I received the bike yesterday. Very comfortable!
Too many Wired logos. The only way all that would be justified is if they gave you the bike to promote. Other than that, wow!
Bro... EVERYONE THIS BIKE IS DISCONTINUED FROM WIRED.
The battery isnt UL certiified.
I thought it was: wiredebikes.com/blogs/news/wired-ebikes-leading-the-charge-with-certification-to-ul-2849
@@EbikeEscape yeah this was a big fiasco.. Unfortunately the company never posted their certification and then showed it was UL standards.. Also users complaining of this ruclips.net/video/ewcqkW6pzWU/видео.html
Will watch that shortly.
Always appreciate the info. Is this not the cert: www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/1p72swl0fgpsy14haakda/Full-test-report.pdf?rlkey=dsw92ligz035yhlrz3bhjq0gg&e=1&dl=0
I checked into it a bit before saying that in the video. It looked legit.
@@EbikeEscapenope that is SGS testing and not UL certification. Sadly.
@@StayConnectedEV I'm about to watch that video as well but I'm trying to get more information about this as well but according to their UL certification blog post (I think YT just removed my comment automatically when I linked to it) they mention "SGS is recognized by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as a Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratory (NRTL) to certify products to UL 2849, the Standard for Electrical Systems for e-bikes. SGS is one (1) of only three (3) Nationally Recognized Testing Laboratories approved by OSHA to certify e-bikes to UL 2849! "
Now the only thing is if you look at the SGS doc it shows the 2024 non plus model (the one with 1 battery) in the photographs so I'm gonna try to call Wired tomorrow maybe and ask to see if they updated this for the 2024+
Wire sucks seen videos of pivot arm that holds the rear shock in place flexes !🤣 grab your handle bars on your wired n shake your bike if you hear clunking congrats you just bought a bike with a faulty design flaw 🤣🤣 e cells 5 star the king now !
DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM WIRED! The owner Steve is a horrible human being. The bikes have a death wobble so bad nothing can fix it. He tries to belittle his customers and blame them for it. The bikes are not safe. Even with the Visco headset he tries to patch it with the bike is unsafe and will kill you. If you try to return the bike to Wired he calls you names and insults you and refuses to recall these dangerous bikes
Welcome to the Wired e cell war. Google the owner “David Cleveland Nevada” and read about his past as a mobile home salesman and his criminal history and lengthy prison time. The guy copied Wired and then has launched the slime troll war badmouthing everything Wired does. Stay connected EV, a fake reviewer who buys subs and views is just one example of the e cell troll army. Dude is completely off his rocker. Btw, guess who e cells is using to get their batteries UL certified, SGS. What a piece of work.
Jfly is Steve from Wired or his gay lover.
@@dixienormis3614Are you off your meds? Keep guessing.
Why would you promote this Wired company and basically be Steve’s sales boy when everyone knows Wired is a fraud company that sells a defective ebike and then bullies the people that buy them when they need help?
Can you explain more? Might help others
@@EbikeEscapeyeah, I just got mine and I should of went with E cells instead. I’m not happy with the bike either.
So lame. You're reviewing the old style that is completely obsolete. And yes you babble way too much!!
Ur neg...go away
Just got this email supposedly from you.

Wired Freedom Review: Is This the Ultimate $2000 Fat Tire Ebike?
@EbikeEscape1
The sections from RUclips were included in the giveaway. You turned out to be the champ!!!
I don't know what "The sections from YT were in the giveaway", but Is this the deal where I'm suppose to send the shipping fee of about $250 to some person I don't know to get a free ebike?
We do not do giveaways, this is a scam
