Nice Job! Tuning in from MN. Came accross you and subscribed over the last couple months shopping for my wifes 1st E-bike. Settled on the Wired Cruiser (Orange). It arrived yesterday and I put it all together and we got a few test rides in. We have had a CRAZY winter and Zero snow. Temps in the 40's/50's until our first "major" snow tonight - may get a few inches. 😂 I took the bike on a ride today before the storm and effortlessly rode 20 miles. (1bar) I "unlocked" the settings half way through the ride as I was annoyed by continuously hitting the 20mph limit. Found my top speed in PAS 5 to be 41 mph on the blacktop. If there were bugs out, I would be a Happy Rider with bugs in my teeth as I was grinning ear to ear the whole time! I ordered the Freedom! Now we wait and watch the snow melt! Good Luck on your ventures and keep it Unrestricted! God Bless the USA!!
Dude I am impressed, because I know that had to take a lot of effort. I sure couldn’t of done it. I have an e-bike now. And like you said it isn’t made to ride with no power or low power. Thanks for your time put into this video 😊 From Alabama 🚴
This was filmed on Saturday and my butt still hasn't recovered lol. Riding goes from fun to sucking pretty bad really fast once the battery dies thats for sure
Dude... So Awesome that you did this. I'll be using PAS 1 most of the time, especially when I want to go on long rides. This is such great information. Someone else (so you don't have to) ought to do the same test using all the PAS settings. And I just LOVE your videos. And LOVE your sense of humor. Keep up the good work, man... You've definitely got a "knack" for this type of content.
Subbed bro, Thankyou for doing this , I’m gonna be probably getting this bike and wondered how far can it actually go! P.s nice oldie game soundtrack I caught TMNT on the NES at 6:43 !! Man I still remember that game with the really hard underwater bomb level
That game is obnoxiously hard. Its funny because I had a few friends that had it, and nobody could beat it. Whoever made that game should be arrested for child abuse
I did 70 miles on PAS1 only on the Wired Freedom (setting at #1 with the least assist to PAS1), flat concrete, no wind at 160lbs and still had juice left at 55v...so realistically, 80 miles isn't exaggerated ...
Yea, I think its possible but its not exactly realistic to say 80 mile range. Their site seems to emphasize more on 60 miles now which I think is a much more realistic number to achieve. Its not just Wired but all the e-bike companies do this and I assume same with EVs. I bet at some point there will be a standardized test
Great video! I have the first edition version of this bike it is called wicked . I have my settings set up for Max performance. When I'm in pedal assist one on level ground my speed will go up to 20 mph . I ride on Strictly asphalt. I have street tires on my bike , they are called origin 8 Supercell. I have had two trips that I have Road 60 Mi both trips . But that was on a very warm 90-degree day with very little if no wind at all. And that was staying in pedal assist one most of the time sometimes pedal assist 2.. I run my air pressure in my tires at 17.5 PSI I think the tires in the weather makes a huge difference in the range that you get.
Nice, I bet I could get 60 miles as well on asphalt. Also have Tannus tire inserts on the bike so I think those probably took a few miles off the range as well. How do you like those tires? Did you need to replace the stock tires, or did you want to go with a street tire?
A quick shout out because you did make me laugh. In my younger years I was an endurance athelete and mountain bike racer. I did 60 and 100 mile races...in the dirt and hills. I am contemplating a return to cycling with an ebike. My curiosity is centered on your experiment: how long can a heavier rider actually go on one of these bikes? My research as found most manufacturers use a 150ln rider to determing their "max" mileage. 150 pounds????? WTF? I raced at 203. Who weighs 150lbs? Anyway, thanks for your reviews on the Wired and doing the endurance test. Like others have stated a pavement only test might find different results.
I know seriously, not many adults are 150lbs. Thats why every time we go to Costco all the L and XL shirt sizes are gone but the tables are filled with S and M. Not that theres anything wrong with that! You wont regret getting an e-bike especially if you enjoyed cycling and not just the competition portion of it. Really helps take away the "suck" in a lot of rides since you can still do hills or up the assist if you need to. They really are a game changer Thanks for watching!
Outstanding video...and truth! I have a Fabulous Ebike Road Warrior X2 AWD...I got about 43 miles and about 1/3 of battery left....guessing I could have gone about 60-65 miles. 60 volt battery..24 AH...I weigh 250 lbs...mostly flat riding and pas 1.......most manufacturers are bullshitters......videos are hard to make...🙏
I'm not familiar with that brand but I have noticed with a lot of brands you really have to ride the battery all the way down to know where it will stop. I feel like the end of the gauge goes significantly faster than the rest. Either way 43 miles is good enough range for 95% of all situations right?
@@shootthechit I was not either until this year....Citizen Cycle did reviews and then I researched. Excellent bike so far---about 300 miles. Great build quality and powerful. I have done a lot of different riding styles to get a gauge of the battery life. The longest run with about 5 volts left---also was doing an average speed of 15 mph. When I have done both motors and and 30+ mph for most of the riding---nearly exhausted at 30 miles.....trial and error. Keep up the great videos!
That was about spot on with my guess considering your heavier than me and was riding on dirt the whole time. I guessed 55-57 miles. I did 48 miles on my Cruiser in mixed terrain using pas 1-3 pedaling 90% of the time with a few throttle bumps to cross streets throughout the bike trail. I had maybe 2-3 miles left (at about 52v resting) when my ass called the game. Maybe I had more left than I thought but the battery bar was flashing for a few miles at that point. Thanks for suffering bro!
when I was growing up in a Milwaukee suburb I used to cut the neighbors lawn for $10.00. He was a penny pinching psychiatrist and it took hours going back and forth, back and forth and the only consolation I had was that I could not be crazy because I was cutting a psychiatrists lawn, latter on in life when I was seeing a psychiatrist I never shared this because I thought he might think I am crazy. If I would have been living the unrestricted life style I probably never would have had to see him in the first place.
my first youtube video was the ariel rider kepler range test on PAS 1 at 15mph. Got to 65 miles! then had to pedal back to the car with no power for the last few miles, after pedaling for 4 hours beforehand. My butt has never been the same after that painful ride. I wonder how many more miles you would have gotten if you were on pavement with less rolling resistance.
How many watts does the Kepler draw in PAS 1? I bet if I took out the tannus inserts and rode on pavement surface, 65 miles would be doable. Not in a hurry to attempt that one again though. It really does take a toll on your butt lol
haha good stuff man, always makes me laugh. Wonder if the mix of coasting down hills and smoother pavement would extend the range a bit too, or if you swapped out the knobby tires?
I'm sure further range is possible, but I wanted to ride it on flat ground with the default settings. Hard to find somewhere to do a really long ride with consistent terrain.
You’d probably go a lot farther on pavement. You should also try c14 at 1 to lower the wattages in the pedal assist, makes the bike much nicer to ride. Ultimately it’s all about the watt hours and physics. If you lay off the throttle, your butt will give out before the bike. I hope you can try out the full suspension freedom, you would go nuts.
Pas 1... It's hard to ride that speed, but it's the perfect speed when I take my dog for a trot. Next challenge Pas1, no pedal, throttle only and a special gummy every 13 laps😂
I ordered the Freedom. Based on the email I got, it's delayed. I'm not expecting to get to ride it this year. Starting to wish I had just got a lectric off amazon.
Throttle only range test probably wouldnt have taken as long. 😂😂😂 hahahaha Great video. I thought it would go a little farther but thats still some pretty decent range.
I'm sure it hurt a bit but I wasn't really trying to squeak out every last drop. The track is fairly hard packed but you're right, I'm sure on pavement it would have gotten a few extra miles and my bike also has Tannus tire inserts which adds extra weight so that probably took a bit away as well. I'm sure 60 is quite do-able but I think this test is pretty realistic
Tests are done in a lab with a rolling road and a wimp of a person who weighs 165lbs and no wind resistance, they don't do the full range only a few miles and then calculate what it's potential could be. 55 miles is a good distance for a real world real man test, I weigh 235lbs and travel 20+ miles on my Kommoda so I know how a burger in a meat grinder feels 🤣
I'm sure I could have but this was the best place I could find to do a controlled test. My goal wasn't to squeak out every last drop, but to see how far it would go in PAS 1 only in a set environment with no hills. The track is fairly hard packed so it wasn't too soft but you're right, pavement would have helped a bit
What was your tire psi ? Pavement vs packed dirt I feel you giving up a little range with the added resistance, I think you need to re-run the test on a paved service?
Haha I wouldn't say no to that, but it was more the pressure not so much the rubbing. In fact I'm still a bit sore today. The seat isn't too bad in normal riding conditions but sitting on it consistently for 4-5 hours took its toll

I'm an endurance cyclist and attempted 300 miles here on oahu hawaii in 24 hour time limit in 2020. So watching this made my day 💯
How far did you make it?
I Love your Videos from Johnson City Tennessee Keep Em coming 🥰😍💯💢💥💫👍
Oh nice, your city gets a shout out in the song Wagon Wheel!
You had me in tears a few times brother, God bless you and your sore as heck legs.
I gained another subscriber for sure!

I speak for all of my fellow unrestricted Chit Heads when I say thank you for making this video.
Agreed.
Thanks for watching Chit Head!
I've started living unrestricted. I used to stop at two joints a day, now I just go for it! Thanks Shoot the Chit!
lol, shoot for the stars man!

Thanks for such a good test we all wanted to know about this ebike. 👍
Freedom owner from SW MI! Love the videos!
Bicep burka 😂👍🏻 UNRESTRICTED!
Dedicated to your true favorite teacher ❤️ "BUCK"
CLEANUP!! He was a pretty cool guy, he seemed like he actually cared about the kids. I wonder what he is up to these days

@@shootthechit how many calories did this massive ride burn lol
I didn't keep track of calories, but it legit took a few weeks for my butt to feel normal. There was a dull ache for quite awhile@@keapaishere

You are such a chithead! Terrific video. I ordered the green and should get it in January! I hope to buy a second battery as well. Thanks. Subbed
🤣
My Titian, Wired Freedom just arrived and I'm waiting for the bike shop to put it together. I'm eager to ride it.
Thank you
Great video, very informative and well produced.
Your videos keep giving me flashbacks on locations LOL. This is a good test, and definitely needs to be done with all the other popular ebikes.

I am from BC in Canada , going to try and get a Wired E bike in the spring of 24.

Old school Antioch
Remnants of the good old days. It felt weird being there for that long
Im more impressed with the 505 deadlift 😂
You’d probably go a lot farther on pavement. You should also try c14 at 1 to lower the wattages in the pedal assist, makes the bike much nicer to ride. Ultimately it’s all about the watt hours and physics. If you lay off the throttle, your butt will give out before the bike. I hope you can try out the full suspension freedom, you would go nuts.
There’s probably an ideal titration of pedal assist setting, road/trail surface, ambient temperature (74id ideal for lithium). Thanks
Pas 1... It's hard to ride that speed, but it's the perfect speed when I take my dog for a trot.
Next challenge Pas1, no pedal, throttle only and a special gummy every 13 laps😂
I ordered the Freedom. Based on the email I got, it's delayed. I'm not expecting to get to ride it this year. Starting to wish I had just got a lectric off amazon.
Feel your pain... it will finally arrive but be too late then in Spring we will all find out there are issues and out of return or warranty phase
Yeah rookie mistake, e-bikes are like potato chips you can't just have just one.
@@justinsane7128 thats exactly why I have 4 e-bikes right now and waiting on number 5
should do on pavement
Throttle only range test probably wouldnt have taken as long. 😂😂😂 hahahaha
Great video. I thought it would go a little farther but thats still some pretty decent range.
Just curious, what gear were you in?
I was in 3rd gear pretty much the whole time
Also that track is harder on the distance
I'm sure it hurt a bit but I wasn't really trying to squeak out every last drop. The track is fairly hard packed but you're right, I'm sure on pavement it would have gotten a few extra miles and my bike also has Tannus tire inserts which adds extra weight so that probably took a bit away as well.

55 miles is a good distance for a real world real man test, I weigh 235lbs and travel 20+ miles on my Kommoda so I know how a burger in a meat grinder feels 🤣
Also, you were riding on a dirt track with less traction, so the bike might've had to work harder.
Well no hills how it be on hills there should be a milage counter
50 miles
You would have done more miles on flat pavement
I'm sure I could have but this was the best place I could find to do a controlled test. My goal wasn't to squeak out every last drop, but to see how far it would go in PAS 1 only in a set environment with no hills. The track is fairly hard packed so it wasn't too soft but you're right, pavement would have helped a bit
What was your tire psi ? Pavement vs packed dirt I feel you giving up a little range with the added resistance, I think you need to re-run the test on a paved service?
Tires were at 15psi, I inflated them right before the run. I also have tannus tire inserts which probably killed some range as well.
You should have gotten gold bond as a sponsor for this video lol!
Haha I wouldn't say no to that, but it was more the pressure not so much the rubbing. In fact I'm still a bit sore today. The seat isn't too bad in normal riding conditions but sitting on it consistently for 4-5 hours took its toll
The really amazing part of this video is how you left your camera on the ground at AJHS and some crack head didn't disappear with it.
Ain't that the truth. I was keeping an eye on it the whole time. Surprisingly the guy with his dogs was the only person I saw out there the whole day.
