Great Video ! I'm a patient purchaser and research extensivley just like you ! ! Subbed ! ! ! . . . 😎👍

I find it funny that e-bike companies advertise their bikes using pretty young women. I've yet to see any women under 40 on an e-bike, and I don't see many young men under 40 either.

Would you consider doing a drop post install video with the Dual Star?

MANNNNNN!!!! Youre so busted! 😂.....This is most definitely a planted video 😲 and straight from the CEO of "hE Sells" Bikes himself! 😂

Do some more research. E cells has an F rating from the BBB and numerous complaints to the Federal Trade Commission about their business practices. The Owner started e cells while on Parole after serving 12 years for murder (vehicular homicide while high on coke). Moreover, they blatantly copied Wired and then slandered Wired at every opportunity. The new Wired bikes are MUCH more powerful and less expensive than e cells. No thru axle, no UL certification, and in many cases you pay but get no bike.

I Like1 that idea. Im 6'4" 230lbs a 34 in seam & I can see thats a good mod. Ive seen guys ride sitting on the rear rack [Ive done it on occasion, needed a stretch] the upright cruiser is my liking too. thats why my step thru has become my fav as its more comfortable. this set back gives me another option - thank you

very nice - Ive not gotten an ecels yet, but Im patient and waiting as I want the step star. some ppl are in a hurry & well Im watching and waiting in hopes the rush might slow. I have a couple other ebikes & did get the end bar mirrors. I like em. got mine on temu after I ordered other stuff that turned out fine I got the same that were on Amazon, but 5.59 and they actually are the same!?! when I get a step star Ill get some more for it. uh yeah my other ebikes are "legal" 750 watter that are for my rides in national parks & those federal trails. they are good for that purpose. ;)

I considered the Ariel Rider too but after considering how much I'll use it I went with an AMYET s8 for $1000. Best purchase of 2024!

The UA-cam algorithm cracks me up. As a tall person I have the exact opposite problem and have been researching "extra long seat posts". 125mm and it DROPS lower? GTFO. I've been looking at 500mm+ seat posts. LOL.

I purchased the ECells Step Star, but it was not delivered as ordered, and after numerous emails and phone calls, things are still not resolved. Their website claims "unparalleled customer service", but it hasn't been unparalleled in a good way...

Ecells 75 days later still no bite requested a refund November 3 didn’t get it requested a refund November 8 partial payment issued -$314. Get a wire is not worth a headache.

I just installed a PNW Cascade model on a Ecells Super Monarch AWD and thanks to your video and speaking PNW rep Jesse, the 125 mm was a perfect fit and no need for "beer can" shim. I managed to a little discount for being a new customer. It's definitely a game changer and only make it safer for me. I highly recommend. 👍

Wow. I was headed in the same direction you went. It was the freedom, then the ecell dual. At the same time the bill goat. Keep thinking if I want the mountain bike or the moped style. yur reading minds.

Can you please tell me what the seat height is when it's all the way down? I ordered a 17" frame and may need to change the order to 24" tires.

How’s the suspension? I’ve been looking at the Billy goat v3 for a while now and it has a fast ace coil shock, same brand used on surrons, with slightly less travel. Do you think this bike can handle light to medium off roading without any problems?

Wow!! Thank you for this info! I am 5 foot 8 and I'm shopping between a Dual star and a Monstar with their 17 inch frame due to my height and riding position. I could do with the 19 inch frame as long as i use a dropper seat post, I'm not only limited to the step through or 17 inch frames now... Sorry I'm a noob, shopping my first ebike lol.

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

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 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 👍

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

Awesome work! I am very impressed with your audio, video and the content!! Keep up the great work!!!

Installed a pnw coast suspension drop post with the Puget 2x lever and wire kit today. Totally agree with every point you made in your video. I'm gonna love this thing.

Great video thanks!

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.

Wow! This is fantastic information. I know what you mean about the size of the Ecells dual star. In person it's gigantic. I am going to seriously consider getting a dropper post for myself. I think it's a good idea. Thank you for sharing this information.

The monstar has what size frame? 1 or 2 sizes?

I subscribed and bought one as soon as I finished watching your video. You provided great value about something I never even heard of, thanks. I will be trying the suspension version.

I totally agree, I installed the same dropper post on my Kandi America Trail King MT750. I use it every time I think I might need to stop and or get off the bike. I have the cable run all internally and use a Wolf Tooth ReMote BellTower Dropper Lever to control it. Best upgrade I'd made to my e-bike! I did go with the 125mm length.

So I have done this on the Five Star without the shim. I am currently using a C9 seat. A couple of observations since changing to this kit; 1) I will never go back to not having it because of safety. 2) The seat angle has corrected my issue with seat comfort and made my issues, (self inflicted I guess) a thing of the past. 3) Even though I am a 6 foot tall person with a 32” inseam lifting my leg over a properly fitted bike with saddle bags was sometimes challenging. This issue has gone away now. 4) I can adjust height on the fly allowing me to adjust to my peddling needs and terrain. I will hopefully be able to use the very expensive suspension seat post I purchased for my wife’s new Step Star due in mid November. Thank you for posting this information it has made my ride even better!

Nice video, thanks. I get why your riding position is more comfortable and efficient after this mod. But I wonder about the added weight this shifts to the rear wheel. Have you noticed any additional "wobble" to your Dual Star fork/front end after doing this?

That looks kinda scary! I would be worried about bending it

Nice one!!

Im gonna try this today just got the part hopefully I have a carbon cutting disk for the dremel thx for the info great video

Do you have a link to the seat post you used?

weight limit?

where did you find the bike seat rail set back? Need a little more room on my dual star and that looks like a good solution

For the Loam lever, what clamp selection do you put? And you click yes for cable kit, right?

I also have a dual star. I’m considering this seat post, did you get the 31.6 mm? And if so did you need to provide some sort of shim for the 31.8 mm tube diameter on the dual star? Never mind found it at seven minutes into your video, thanks!

Just watched this video. Just placed my order for my ECells Five Star. I fell off my bike after stopping on a low hill. I am 6’ tall and find getting on and off difficult and the size of the bike is a challenge but to find yourself hitting the cement was a real shock. I need to order the saddle set back rail as well so please let us know what you got for this so I can order one. Now my hope is that the suspension seat post I purchased will fit the Step Star when it arrives for the wife! The handle bar diameter is 22.2 on the Five Star BTW.

You really outdid yourself! Answered all my questions (other than the final total price you paid), and appreciated including your thought process: bang for buck, quality vs price, installation questions, details about all the different purchases involved. The only thing I wonder about is the next best bang for buck, money is always an issue! Thanks again!🖕

Really great video! Considering getting a dual star next year; hopefully David will get the kinks ironed out on the second battery seating and unified charging.

Excellent review video.

This is very helpful. And you're not short, 6 feet is tall, so to even say this for the 17" frame makes me believe it's a huge bike. I'm going to get this dropper seat too.

Thank you for this video. I asked in the forum about a range of different accessories, including a dropper post. I'm 5'09" and just wondering what size dropper I should get. You are correct, people like me underestimated the size of this bike. It is huge! I got mine about 2 or 3 weeks ago. I do the lean to one size method to get on my bike. Today, I received my light up pedals, Bluetooth speaker, phone holder, OC spray, a gallon of Flat Out, and my new Lumos Ultra ebike smart helmet. Can't wait for tonight's ride!
