    I hope this is is all true. I do love this competition between Wired and E-Cells, as it seemed like the last month E-Cells has been touting their 5-Star bike. I'm sure Wired knew they couldn't sleep on their laurels so they had to bring out this info to know they weren't out of the fight. That free extra battery seems so good, I almost don't believe it.

    Total cost for a Wired freedom and cruiser with Shipping, Insurance, and Taxes is $500 more than their competition. And their Warrantee is only one year, where their competition warrants the Frame for Life of the bike, and battery-motor for two years, and the rest of the components for one year. Seems if the owners of Wired believed in their products they would have a stronger warrantee. And Wired does not offer upgraded features. For $500 in total cost difference between Wired and E-Cells you can add a it of upgraded options. I am buying two bikes. I am going with the E-Cells 5 Star. I was Able to add 6 upgraded Options per bike.

    @mellowjammer 29 дней назад +5

    I really applaud most of the upgrades. Here are some additional suggestions: Torque Sensor Option! This is a must for me as I want better control of my speed. Eliminate the second tail light on the battery (which is bound to get damaged eventually) and give us one rear light with brake light & turn signals and an indication on the display that shows they are on. And while we're on displays, they should provide one that can be viewed with polarized sunglasses. Supposedly there is some kind of film you can apply to the screen to make it viewable(?). If that is true, provide that film. Next, move the headlight from the lower fork where it gets bounced to death and mount it on the handlebar/stem area. The Gemma brakes look decent but there are almost no reviews and few places to get parts, pads, bleeding kit, etc.. Why choose such an oddball component? (low cost?) Does the crank chainring use wide/narrow teeth? How is the bottom bracket cover on the cruiser sealed? Is there a gasket? Very anxious to see how the final version looks once they start to arrive and hope I don't have to wait until the end of the season or next year for a torque sensor option. Please offer this or I will have to choose the Ecells Step Star.

Now I can hear what the motor sounds like when you're riding. I hate it when other reviewers play music that drowns out the motor sound, (3) You rode the ebike past the camera so that we can hear what a bystander would hear. You have EXCELLENT videography skills, man!

    Love the 60V! 45A controller - LOVE (and the wire harness they had to have upgraded). 60V x 45A is peak 2700W at the motor. Love 4 piston calipers with 203mm (catching up the Revv1). Hate quick release on the front tire; makes no sense to upgrade to a through axel if you have quick release. Extra battery is nice.
    Wish they had a decent headlight (with horn) brake lights and turn signals.
    Not too excited about 2 miles an hour top speed, but the whole reason you want a bigger controller for hills. So many influencers live on the flattest places in the world and give you no idea of how this thing actually works if you have hills. I regularly have a 9-11% incline for over a football field.

I also think the cruiser looks absolutely incredible. I think that's very possibly the one I will get. Great job to Wired.

As someone who owns an electric moped that goes 55mph, this bike would solve all of my issues with biking on 45mph roads. The duel 35AMP battery is what sold it for me. I have 3 batteries on my Aventure with a modded controller (45amp batteries 35amp controller, and get about 50-60 miles of range. This bike would probably get around 35-50 miles of range at any temp at tops speeds with 2100 WH (40-50 WH/mile).

    I still can’t believe how good that step through design is. It’s really just as low profile as any other e-bike off the street… but it’s got 2x-3x the power and range. The step through I feel like is just smart with a way lower center of gravity, and WAY easier to get on. (Step overs are so annoying if you have a large rear basket, which I have on 100% of the time.) This is the one that’s finally gonna sell your friends and family that are holdouts on the e-bike game. Props to wired for not only caring about power and range, but safety by upgrading the brakes and thru axle. Smart as hell design, I get sketched out on an e bike even at 25 mph with just a quick release, thru axle is very confidence inspiring and a necessity on any E-Bike bike IMO. And the brake upgrade is much needed with the power these bikes have.

      So you just answered the definition of a leader by admitting they were the first to introduce the 1500 W motor with their design. That design blew the doors off of anything else out there and gave them a huge market share in this industry! Has nothing to do with who manufacturers the components. When your marketing products there are leaders and there are followers who try to grab your market share. Ecells copied the wired design trying to grab market share. I'm sure Ecells will copy Wired again to try and compete with the updated, better performance that Wired has just provided. Has nothing to do with dual batteries or step thru frames, it's about leading into the market first and I'm sorry, but Wired owns that title. The good side to this is it creates a good situation for the consumer with the race to be the best, but it's a fact Wired started this race and owns the title of a Leader in this industry!

      @@brianjennings86 and now they are in second place. Doesn't really matter who jumped out the gate first, it's who wins the race. And at the moment Wired is losing. Who ultimately wins this race is yet to be seen.

    The free60v 15ah battery makes this a better deal than Ecells. However Ecells has way more customizable options. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ what’s next.

    Ecells does sell slide in battery packs but for a price, plus only for dual motor bikes.

    I think I literally just got one of the last of the “old” ones. I love my bike, but wish I’d known this was coming because I would have waited a month. :(
