Great video...1000 miles in such a short time is a lot....and great job maneuvering the "Boardwalk of Death." I hope your more gentle with your new bike.........Merry Christmas!
Great review! You should try a 203mm rotor in front, it makes a pretty big difference in braking (10-15% shorter stopping distance and better modulation and fade resistance). Looking forward to your Freedom review and comparisons as you may be the first actual owner to post videos of the two. I have the same floppy fork on my V2 Freedom , it’s fine but the new RST fork is better. Try adjusting the derailleur using the limit screws instead of the barrel adjuster, seems to work better.
Appreciate your review. I also ride often. I ride a FreeSky SwiftHorse and for the price - I wish I would have got a Wired. I like the forks I have and my frame is very nicely welded and painted - but sometimes I just wish I had the extra power. Depends on preference. I just wish I could jump off the line faster. My bike hits 35 on the flats and yeah that's plenty fast so I've got to brake early since I still use the stock 160mm rotors. Again - just depends how you want to use your ebike and I'm just leaving a comment because I was the guy/still am the guy shopping for electric bikes. Most people just hop in the car - but these are as handy as a sharp knife. Thank you and I like your style so I subscribed.
I heard the axle threads are a little short,which makes the the axle length not long enough to go all the way through the axle nut. In other words the axle is about 1-2 threads short of being long enough to go through the axle nut and come out the other side. Sorry for all the CHIT I wrote to maybe explain this .( This is just what I read on another Forum) And also read that Wired knows about it and,said it doesn’t pose a problem! Can’t wait to see your new bike 😊
@@d.w.132I know exactly what you're talking about and you mistaken it being too short in general rather than it being too short when adding the trailer/etc to it lol. It's fine when not adding anything back there.
@@d.w.132why did you say that wired knows about it and says it doesn't pose a problem but still said you're not pulling the trigger because of it, you believe some random chat clowns than the owner?
All of the Wired bikes use cadence sensors. It's really preference. I like the power delivery on the Wired, from what I've heard higher powered bikes don't do well with torque sensors
How does this bike handle on the road? In the curves does it feel like you’re driving a big heavy bike say compared to a hybrid tire regular road bike? This will be my first purchase and I’ve been researching a lot but really see nothing on road handling transitioning from left to right responsiveness etc. Any input appreciated Thanks again
Love your honest reviews and sarcastic remarks. What color Freedom did you get? I’m looking to get the green and my wife the orange. Keep being you! 😊👍🏼❤️
The beginning stating speed is true. I have had lots of bad ass 500cc 2 stroke dirt bikes and no injury. I knocked my self out for the first time riding my wired freedom. I dont remember anything but friend said I hit a stop sign. A scar on forehead to prove something happen. lol but its a bike so I think you drive it like its a bike but really its a motorcycle. So I think you let your guard down in a way.... My brother same way bad ass rider but got injured on a little minibike. Love the videos! TY
Hey Bro, I'd watched all of your video's, I can truly say that you'd taken that bike to HELL N BACK. At a cost of $2500, I baby my Wired Freedom ebike. Keep the video's coming.
@@jamesramsey7767 this was a reply to my comment but I agree. I love the fact that you can play with setting and force your self slow and less watts to save battery and still is amazingly powerful!
Oh wow that's scary. I now ride with a helmet the majority of the time after a couple close calls. These bikes are fast enough to get yourself hurt if you're not careful that's for sure
There is a senor that tells the computer when the brake is being engaged and it will cut off power to the motor so you are not powering against your brakes. I think you can rig things up and some brakes come with the sensor but your typical SRAM or Shimano brakes don't have these sensors.
Right, the sensor is a the lever. I know you can rig stuff up to work with most levers, but it would be nice if you could buy an off the shelf brake setup (SRAM, Shimano etc) with the sensors already @@tenncutt
Don't let your success go to your head (keep up the good work, you will keep growing I'm sure). Thanks for actually using your product and letting us know what it's like after using something more than the usual quick review period. Can't wait to hear about comparisons between the 2 wired models. If I buy a Wired (plan on it next year, I'll use your link (although I see no affiliate link, maybe you're joking ).
The Freedom has suspension in the back so you likely won’t need another seat post. Thx for your honest reviews and the sarcastic remarks are quite funny. Keep being you! 😊👍🏼

@@shootthechit Thank you for responding promptly and for the information. I’m getting my Freedom delivered on Tuesday and I’m trying to figure out how to secure it when I go to the store. Has anyone tried to interfere with the display or anything?
@@mtkoslowski, You've expressed my concerns perfectly. I just ordered my Freefom today, and I'll use redundancy......a long chain in a soft plastic tube, and another lock, like the one he mentioned. I'm also worried about the front tire too. Its a quick disconnect. That's also why the long chain: so I can run it through the front wheel, and around an immovable object.
@@davidgraham2673 Connecting the chain through the front wheel is a very good idea. It’s so easy to steal in seconds. Here’s what I have done: Since I use a late model iPhone I put an AirTag in the controller box. First I disabled the tag’s speaker. There is a video on YT showing you how easy that is done. If you use an Android device you could use a tag from Tile. Good luck and happy riding!
I now ride a Surron and get over 30 miles at full throttle and obvious no peddles. Way quicker on acceleration to the point it beats most cars at traffic lights. I prefer it because it completely rips and if I want to stop somewhere out of the way I have the range. My personal opinion is to buy a used surron and spend like 1200$ more. I have both. Only use my wired when I get a flat on my Surron. The surron is way quicker and is a ton more comfortable to ride. I'm 6ft and the wired is too big for me and people even comment on how the bike is so big. Good bike though expect the range they give you.
I use a 5 mile ride to Walmart everyday as a reason or an excuse to the ride the bike. I may need a bunch of things, but I go to get just of few of them. Riding Unrestricted
I don't get it, you hit 1000 mi on that bike and the tires are still very good(can hear the tread) when I was a kid I can't remember having tread on my tires and I only stayed whiting a half mile of my house 😅
Same, I think the difference is as kids we would skid for fun and one bike.I had didn't even have brakes. I used my shoe as a wedge to stop lol. I feel like tires are also a lot more durable now days, which is reflective in their huge price tags sadly
When he was talking about steering, apparently he doesn’t understand at high speeds. You don’t turn the wheel you lean to make a turn. Apparently this guy is never ridden the motorcycle. when I got my 2024E bike out of the box I took it for a test ride after I adjusted top speed, I’m 6 foot six 230 pounds and I got it up to 41.6 mph
I was demonstrating that the front end is prone to wobbling. Even if you are going straight and ride with no hands the bars will move around on this bike I never said use the bars to make turns
A 40 mile per hour ebike is dangerous when your around people who are walking or even other riders. Dude if you want to ride 40 miles per hour please get a motorcycle 🏍️ get off the trails of other bikes and walking people.
wtf don',t you sell that bike and get a new freedom,? as i know you are trolling for comments. i will bite. get a freedom, either 23 or 24? i personally have a late 23 model. i love it.
I have a Freedom as of now but I haven't ridden it yet. You will see it in the next video for sure. As for shirts or hats I'm looking at getting some made but no idea how long it will be. New to all of this
I call bullshit. you rode her hard and put her away wet. haha.... just get a logo made up and make sure you do reflective only at night on the hat like black on black but reflective. like my girlfreind. matt at that gun channel has a factory for that kind of c hit. @@shootthechit

There should be an adjustment screw on the back side of the kickstand to make it longer or shorter.
Oh wow you're right, never would have thought the kickstand was adjustable

I know you know how lucky you are to be in the middle all that varied terrain. I can wait to see the Freedom

Does the seatpost come off? Would be nice to replace it with a suspension seat
I've seen people add suspension seat posts, so I know its doable.

Did you check out the SR Suntour SP12 NCX bike Suspension Seatpost they have on the WIRED website?
I haven't tried a suspension seat post yet. I typically stand up when anticipating bumps. Would be interested to see how they work

How do you secure your bike when you’re in the gym?
I use a hiplock D1000 , it's expensive but it's angle grinder resistant so you can't cut it easy. LiteLok X1 and X3 also look like really good locks

@@LastMagMan it's not bad. I have no problems but I realistically get 18 to 20 miles on it depending on wind.

I'm in Utah in the valley and travel 9 miles each way and some days it's super windy and I have to pedal home. The Surron didn't care.
Wired bike usually goes 30 on a slight hill, less on a an more uphill. On a straight with no wind it's about 34 to 36 mph and I'm 200lbs.
I'm just here for the banger tunes.

Most of these companies need to start including more mid grade components on these expensive bikes, instead of this entry level trash for the cost.
I agree, or at least offer it as an option. I think there are a lot of people that would be willing to pay a bit extra for some mid tier components
