Man I love competition.
Could you do a range test with the extra battery?
👍
E-Cells competition got Wired shooting for the stars.
😂
Hahahahaha
Ecells will go right to the same vendor and get the same bike that Wired has now doesn’t really matter looks like that vendor will sell to anybody 😂😂😂
Didn't you guys just copy Ecells jelled filled controller?
It's called Innovation not running off models that you've had for 5 years
I think that's the nicest and nicest looking step-thru bike I've ever seen. Love that lime green color. Next upgrade should be to make the step over bike frame more like this one with an in-frame integrated battery.
The Pit Bull avoidance bike!🤣🤣 That's some selling point. And why wasn't that on film?
Talk about a viral video .
Those are massive upgrades to a already impressive bike. 👌✌
I went down that street looking for a place to start filming. But didn't have a chance to turn the camera on. it crossed my mind to go back to see if he was still there, but I didn't feel like getting bit that day.
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.
@@itruck96 I-don't- think-so. Brian sounded like he had some adrenaline going. Been there done that . Almost getting chomped by a Pitbull will scare the crap out you! Fortunately my Freedom has the same Pitbull avoidance system as well...
I ordered mine a month ago. I got lucky having to wait. I would have paid more for the extra battery but I’m glad I didn’t have to. Thank you Wired, now I will order a cruiser.
Ordered the Cruiser in Lime Green. Had to cancel an ECells order due to complications with their supply chain. Hate that I have go to another month without right now, but looking forward to riding it when it does arrive. Nice to be able to jump on the revision.
I’m really liking this cruiser and the color what’s the typical shipping cost to Oregon anybody know also cost of the bike
@@Wapap Shipping is flat 250, bike is 1999.
@@Jnaathra thanks for the reply!! So wait time is a month?
@@Wapap The webpage has current orders at Mid to Late July Delivery. June stuff is already on a boat I think.
@@Jnaathra thanks
I am sold on that cruiser 🔥🔥🔥
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.
Better Product-Better Company.
Where do you guys get your figures from? I paid 2272 shipped to New York
@@TheTcat1000 It's $2,444.70 to California now.
Lets see those numbers...VA here just shy of $2400.00
@@Daveyoung-wc6fj
Different State tax and shipping.
Off the Wired web site.
@@TheTcat1000
From Wired. They Charge a Total of $500 more shipped to California. Newsome is getting a cut.
That is why I love competition. Ebikes get better for us customers. Thanks Ecells. Now Wired has the better bang for buck and better bike ⚡️⚡️⚡️
It literally has neither. Look at the numbers it’s not hard
@@coreyalexander4766I’m not interested in either bike but this thing has dual 60v in the base model, while it’s an extra $700 for the 5-Star. Comparable motors with similar continuous and torque.
What other numbers? Seems like both use cheap components like everyone else.
Ecells already has a better counter design since 5/5. Don't discount them yet. 😂😂
@@coreyalexander4766 what???
@@coreyalexander4766 you make no sense stop the ignorance get yourself a GF DUDE
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.
It's almost like a Christmas list to Santa, knowing you're not gonna get them all.
Makes me wonder if I should cancel my order and wait for Wired to do it better next time with a torque sensor option?
They already have a dual motor Step Star II in the works! 🚴♀️ 💨🔥
That new cruiser with full suspension and dual battery is a win !!! Wow…. Wired is freaking mad👍
Mr. Mtr,
No one has clearly explained what the Second Battery on a one motor e-bike does or how it works. Not even the owner of Wired e-bikes. Wouldn’t you like to know before you invest over $2000 on an e-bike????
To make an Emotional Decision not based on Facts does Not make sense to me.
@@user-ht3hm9ng8si m not buying lol… too expensive, i like ebike class 3 like Wildeway about half of those Wired or Ecell.
Nope i m not buying. 😂
@user-ht3hm9ng8s I want a bike that can get 40 but will hold 35+ with a low battery. I want full suspension and quality batteries. Dual batteries are in the name of what they are. Sorry you need an explanation but with more battery, you get more range lol. The company you mentioned doesn't even tell you who makes their Chinese batteries. Wired has the best Samsung battery and is 2x better on all stats to compare then the company you just mentioned.
@@stopcantstopwont9539
If you are talking about E-Cells 5 Star, who they get their Batteries from is all over their Web Page. Who they get their major components is all over their Web Page. They Provide more Stats and Info than Wired. Their owner is all over UA-cam talking about who they get their components. Either you are not looking very hard, can’t read, or are trying to lie to the folks reading your post.
I want you to buy a Wired Freedom and stay out of the E-Cell Family. You deserve a Wired freedom!!!
@@user-ht3hm9ng8s Probably the same way it works on the dozens of other Ebikes that have dual batteries.
Next year probably with torque sensor..that is very important to me, great improvements but I'll still go with the Ecells to get that feature.
I know right? If Ecells can make it an option, how hard can it be for Wired to do the same !? It's almost a deal breaker.
This was an excellent video! I liked: (1) The side-by-side view with your riding partner so that we can hear what the other person's ebike sounds like when riding together, (2) No music! 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!
Great pitbull story too!

You're review is100 percent fun and informative. Now this is the bike for me. 👍 . Say hi to your lovely wife she did a great job. Thanks 👍👍
The Cruiser is so elegant looking. That would be my choice.
I agree. One of the best looking out there.
I was going to order the E Cells today and I just watched your video and ordered the wired bike. I am upgrading from my ariel rider kempler. This is the best ebike channel on youtube
That new display looks so much more user friendly than the previous one
I ordered a Freedom in Apr & expected delivery was late May but with all free upgrades it got postponed to late June but after watching this vid I cant wait!
Wired came back swinging 😂
And missed the mark. No option to upgrade, heavier, slower, more expensive
@@coreyalexander4766 It does not seem like they are slower at all and they just tossed in a second battery that is $700 upgrade at the other place.
@@coreyalexander4766 yep they’re desperate
Not usually a fan of step-thrus in general, but I love how the battery is integrated into the frame. Looks so much better IMO. And the addition of full suspension and dual battery? Yes please.
The step thru is absurdly incognito. There’s not a cop in the USA that’s gonna look at that thing twice, it’s freaking awesome.
@@Poindogindustries That's what I was thinking. Pitbull avoidance system + sleeper
Great Job Bryan! Lots of great changes on the wired bikes! Love the competition!!
I will be takin my chicago butt over to pick one up ❤
TAKE MY MONEY!
Right!!!!😂✌🏼
Peace be with you! Thank you for sharing the updates to WIRED e-Bikes. LUV the improvements! Thanks again
Man i love competition. Genuinely, so happy E-Cells and Wired are competing.
Exactly. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
They are not competing anymore 🤣
Wired is winning 🥇 with this move 100%
@@blazblue831 till next month😉
@@DriverJ-N e cells has missed the 2024 season and is screwed. It’s not like you can change your design and build several thousand bikes in China overnight. I think Wired has timed their announcement for maximum pain.
After seeing your video, I couldn't sleep🤣So I ordered the Crusier in black today. The intigrated 2nd battery on the rear rack with no price increase and the Cruiser redesign sold me. Plus the extra $50 discount!. The upgrades in the brake system, color display, controller, increase in torque and a quiet smooth hub motor at 42 mph. Thanks Mr. Citizen for the video, very informative.
THIS! I've been shopping around, ecells was on my short list and I had already eliminated wired, until I saw something about May 3rd... then this dropped and I pulled the trigger! TBH I was looking for someone with something in stock but everything, everywhere is backorder so I pulled the trigger this morning on a lime green freedom!

I placed an order last night and was already excited, but with the new specs, I'm absolutely thrilled. You're right about the sales numbers for the cruiser. Initially, I ordered the Freedom, but I emailed them and switched it to the lime green cruiser you reviewed.
awesome, i wish you a speedy delivery :) that green is hard to pass up
Thank you for the $50.00 dollars off my order citizen!
Awesome!! I have a 2024 Freedom and that thing changed my life!!!❤ I ride the bike hard in pouring rain & mud, crazy trails and huge hills and never have any problem. The look, fit & finish and functionallity of these bikes is amazing!! KING OF THE ROAD!! Now these new bikes take it to new heights!! Especially the cruiser with full suspension now and the hottest look of all!! I want to order the cruiser for my wife, then I can sneak it out and ride it!! Thanks for all your great reviews!! I saw your review riding the Freedom on those crazy trails in Lake Tahoe and ordered it that night!!! So glad I did!! Keep up the great work!!!
Love buying something then 2 months later a better version comes out.....
Everything this way
Especially when you know they were making changes while preorders were still being fulfilled with the one that was already outdated.
Get that Amex return protection
Wait one year...problem solved. . . . . . . until the absolute best upgrade comes out.
Wow. 75% more Samsung amp hours, more torque, more watts, better brakes, better suspension, AND suspension on the step-thru. It is amazing that they were able to do it without a price increase. That is the only downside to a rapidly evolving market like ebikes. My son bought a Freedom last fall and likes it a lot. But he will be jealous when he sees the new version. I'm old and wished their step-thru was full suspension. They got me covered now.
Just placed my order, thanks for the $50! I couldn't find any other discount codes anywhere. I'm so anxious, hate waiting til June. My 50th bday is mid June and this is my treat to myself. Getting old sucks!
Where I live it's downhill all the out and up hill all the way back, I really hope this one can do it. I think it can!
man this thing hits 45mph and has a 153torqe unless your climbing up a mountain side your good good😅
@@skizza2817 awesome! Too bad I have to wait til late June for it to arrive 😩
Awesome recap man. You do a great job with production, giving out the info everyone wants (new battery thickness , top speed clarifications, etc.
Thanks! Glad you found it helpful.
@@CitizenCycle925 why don't you test the top speed on PAS and compare to throttle only???
Many riders do not use the throttle as they like to pedal and it gets more distance on the battery.
@@CitizenCycle925203 rotor in the back will lock up the tire too easily.
180 is big enough for the back wheel.
Ordered one. Gonna have to sell my 2024 Wired cruiser that I just got. Such nice upgrades. Really like the added battery. Thanks for the video.
Ordered the Freedom yesterday before I knew about these upgrades. I'm ordering the Cruiser right now for my wife! Thanks for the heads up!
Thank you so much for the great series of videos.
I've been looking at ebikes for months and you helped me finalize my choice with the wired freedom.
BTW 46mph was crazy
well....i bought the ecells, mostly bc I wanted a torque sensor....drooling over these changes. I guess im coming to the conclusion that Im prob just going to buy another bike in a couple of years and give my current one (whenever I get it) to my dad.
Well done wired. Please offer torque sensor in the future!
What's your opinion of the torque sensor performance on the ecells? Does it kick in immediately? Is it well implemented into the bikes performance or is it lacking in any way?
@@mellowjammer I ordered it basically a month ago today. Should get it within the next month. Bad thing with all these bikes is the wait time. I'm honestly a bit nervous with all the power it's going to jerk forward. But I guess time will tell. I'll try to remember and update!
@@johnstafford220 The torque sensor is EXACTLY why I almost ordered the 5 Star! Had to sacrifice ordering the Freedom ! BUMMER.......
Wow that's some major upgrades!!!!
Just finished watching. Holy cow, this is the bike to beat now. I was set on the e-cells, but for this to come with an extra 60v 15ah battery is insane. I also think the cruiser looks absolutely incredible. I think that's very possibly the one I will get. Great job to Wired. I think it basically made that extra $300 over the Five Star worth it by including that battery that could easily be $500-700.
Comes out to just under $2400 with Brian’s discount, taxes, shipping, and shipping insurance.
@@damonjenkins3798 oh okay, my bad, I should have said $400. I'm still super impressed with the value being offered.
Extra $300? Try $500
@@damonjenkins3798 ecells 5* is 2600 dual battery option, the battery in the rear has integrated light and universal integrated charging port. There is a difference between the two besides the price, ecells appears to be more sophisticated dual battery setup (not surprising theyve been doing dual batteries for years) but is it worth the $$$ difference? Idk.
@@Mike6string Extra $500!!!? Uh NO try $200, and there are differences such as the more streamlined approach to charging and integrated light functionality. Not sure if its worth the $200 difference, but there is a difference. Wired isnt being that transparent about how the battery was designed into the system, what setup they use, and how the charging is going to happen. 1 charger or 2 chargers?
I love the upgrade they nail this one. Fantastic bike. I want to order the stepthrew blue.
What a bargain at the price point 👏👏👏 The performance upgrades are what they needed🥳 lime green cruiser for me 😎
Wired nailed everything I predicted and more. I said full suspension cruiser, bigger brakes and a longer rear axle for trailers. They definitely going to sell a LOT more cruisers this go around. Great video man. The neon lime is definitely my pick.
This is nice, extra battery and easy to navigate display menu are big improvements. I like the step over.
I’m ordering mine tomorrow!! I can’t freakin wait! I have a Pedego trail tracker now and this will be a major upgrade for half the price!
I ordered mine 2 weeks ago,I had no idea there is going to be an extra battery also that the step-thru is going to have rear suspension, I am 65, 230 lbs., I would’ve ordered that model. I wonder if I can change it after seeing your video. I’ll call them tomorrow. Love your channel. It is the best e-bike channel on UA-cam. Thanks for the update and info.
They better . if no other reason, but to see if their customer relations are what they say it is.
Liked and Subscribed! This made my day. I ordered the Wired Freedom on Apr 7th and almost thought I was going to have some major buyer's remorse when I first saw this title. I chatted with Wired and they confirmed this is what I'll be getting. Stoked, bigger brakes and battery would have had me pleased enough, BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE! I did order the white one so I may have to watch this more than once. lol 😄
yes, you will get this new model :) Thanks for the sub! :) appreciated!
Nice video. Loved the upgrades
Thank you for putting together such comprehensive videos! One of my favorite features is when your wife demonstrates the bikes features from a women’s perspective. I am looking to purchase a bike for my wife. She is 5’2”. She is now able to visualize what it would be like to ride the bike without trying find a bike in our area to test ride. I am going to purchase a Cruiser for her. My wife thinks your wife should get the commission. If your household is ran like mine, she already gets all the money (haha). Please thank her for us.
The cruiser is going to look good in my garage also
why cant i see the new bikes on the web site !!!! still the older models
Just get an e cells this thing is trash
@@coreyalexander4766It’s far from trash.I own a 2024 Freedom and love it.I just ordered the new lime green step through as well.That being said the 5 star is an incredible bike too.I ordered one of those as well in orange with matching orange wheels with the upgraded duel crown fork and rear rock shox Once they both arrive I will share my opinions.
@@coreyalexander4766 hows the new wired ebike trash if i may ask
Thanks for the great info... did I miss the water rating?
My Freedom is now on order!
That green...holy beautiful!🤩
I just ordered the green!… thank you Bryan!
the green is hard to pass up, i love that combo!
I already have the freedom model but if I could choose again now. The Cruiser for sure! Great video! Thanks for showing us around the newer Wired!
I wonder if I order the controller or the display if it would be plug and play on the 24 model? Hmmm?
In a recent email blast, Wired claims it is changing its new model from a speed based sensor to a pressure sensor. They seem to be making a concerted effort to avoid saying cadence or torque. Can you please help us what to expect when we receive our bikes? Thanks
Nice upgrades for sure, that price point though.....can't beat that!
That Lime Green Cruiser Frame almost had me thinking about the Magicycle Deer frame....lol. And YES, I agree, that Green on Black is a favorite color combo of mine too.
5 star beats it and the bike is better than everyday
@@coreyalexander4766Not the step though. Ecells is like 700 more if you add the battery and the step though and an extra 100 for the sensor.
The cruiser looks much better, I love it,
I ordered the lime green wired. cruiser and. I can't wait for it to arrive. It looks like such an awesome bike.
What is the wait time for the new cruiser
I ordered the Freedom but now I want the Cruiser with the dual battery and rear suspension setup. Nice!!
Not standing still. Not bad from a company that wasn't long ago questioned if CEO's existed.
Good on you wired!
They definitely exist. The owner called me personally in the evening and talked to me for 30 minutes about everything.
@@joeschmuckatelli3198 that's good for you, I've heard this many times. That the owner Steve is very approachable and easy to talk to. Unfortunate for me that when I called up there to report a bad rubbing noise with my hub motor, they told me Steve was too busy running a company and too many meetings to talk to every customer. Next they told me to shoot them a video of the problem which I haven't figured out how to do yet because I can't duplicate without riding the bike. They told me no one in Tech Service or anyone else would even talk to me until I send a video up there. I'm pretty bummed out about the whole situation. Other than the bad rubbing noise with the motor and the headlight bracket I have nothing bad to say about the bike, tons of fun to ride. There are also questions about the UL certification that have come up. I would love to talk to the owner before doing my review that they keep emailing me to do. I don't want to give them bad marks but holy smokes, it sure would be nice to actually be able to kick things around with someone first.
@@joeschmuckatelli3198 Same here...twice at like 10pm at night just to walk through power settings. Not sure why a couple UA-camrs were saying their service was bad.
@@justinwhite2951 Is one hundred percent correct. Best customer service in the history of customer service. I had a couple issues with my bike. Set me out new parks immediately. No cost. No questions asked perfect customer service.
I have test ride several ebikes. The cadence vs torque is a major improvement. I do not understand with all the improvements why a cadence sensor. Major flaw for this type bike. If they want to sell they need a torque sensor or it is a major no for me.
Thank You !
Great video, thanks. What is the best road tire to put on a fat bike? I like more supermoto types of inverted tread and love the swalbe G-ones on my 29er.
Well, I'm sold on the cruiser right now, thanks for the discount! My second Wired ebike!
Cruiser is tough looking for a step thru :)
I'd love to see you review the Philodo JUMBO.
I'm looking at that too
I feel like you are pranking us and that this is too good to be true. But yet, you show us the goods! Amazing job, WIRED ebikes!
Thank you for this vid. Enjoy your kickback just used the affiliate link. T
wo weeks till I recieve my new ride. Thanks again for everything.
That's funny I outrun dogs all the time on the 2023 model and sometimes encourage them to chase me a second time, but they usually give up. I was thinking about upgrading my brakes, but I think I will just upgrade the entire bike. Good video Citizen thanks.
Honestly, I like it. I’ll be very careful with that kind of speed and power… Actually, it could be too much for some people. Not everyone is skilled to handle that kind of speed. I would be more concerned about the drivers around
me,they are clueless to how fast, and have no your idea,how fast you are moving towards them! Driver’s could easily misjudge, thinking they, could make a turn in time! If, you get what I’m talking about? Ride safe on ALL e-bikes. Enough said let’s all have a great summer. Oh one more bit of advice,please wear a helmet!
I get a lot of crud from other commenters when I mention this for some reason , but.. I really wish you could order these bikes with state specific features. In my state, and they really enforce it in my area, you are only allowed a 750W max motor (no speed limit oddly enough). I also wish they had both torque and cadence sensor that you could select from the display. Anyway that's my 2 cents.
I know Wired doesn't like to keep a lot of different SKUs so i'm sure they dont want to make state specific features not to mention they would have to keep up with all states requirements. The programmable Cadence/Torque sensor is a good idea but i have only ever had that on 1 bike and i've tested many.
@@CitizenCycle925 Yeah I understand that, shame though. I'd like to see motor options at the least but I get that's probably not going to happen either. Thanks for responding, take care.
@@CitizenCycle925 I have the Aventon Pace500 with and without a torque sensor, a lot easier not to crash with a sensor, longer battery life and more natural feel. I barely need to do anything on the non-sensor bike to get too much assist. Still great for when pedaling down long streets though.
Just ordered the lime Cruiser! Seemed like the obvious choice after the suspension change! CANT WAIT!!!
I have a feeling they are going to be making a lot of lime green cruisers :) haha
Great video! I will be upgrading my 2023 cruiser to this new version. The 2023 model is great but all the new features sold me on upgrading. With the discount code its actually cheaper than what i paid for the 2023 model.
And i almost got the e-cells five star, this step through changes the game completely with the shock on the rear, potted controller, comes with two batteries,better brakes, more power, easer to read color controller, Very clean looking as everything is hidden in the frame.
It’s genuinely crazy how good these bikes have gotten over the past few years. I am gonna need an affiliate code with this one because I’m gonna sell a shit ton of em to my friends and family(and probably random people on the street lol.)
agreed i was holding for ecells now i have to get this green ST
and free extra battery?! whaatt
Ecells has a similar dual battery step thru with rear suspension. If that was your only reason not to get, you should check it out. I've read it will be on the Ecells website soon
@@drzzit9666will do. The extra battery was a $650 option on the five star
Awesome video!
I’m so jealous. I have the 2024 white wired cruiser and I love the thing but the extra battery full suspension acceleration and 2 to 3 miles an hour faster is having me contemplating selling my 2024 and getting this one,
But the wife will frown at that idea🤣
Oh yeah, and especially the lime green color is awesome!!!
Definitely wired is the leader in performance of an ebike at this price Range Hands down!
Wow the cruiser looks amazing
WOW these are so NICE! On the list to buy. Do a vs Vid with The Goat and this new Bike. Thanks man, cheers!
Competition is always good for the end consumer.
The step-thru will be my next ebike. Beautiful design and rear suspension plus 40 mph speed, twist throttle, and nice colors!
Thanks for the info my man! Can you say if they have any plans for adding turn signals?
Adding turn signals would be much appreciated !!
Turn signals is not something they have ever brought up with me. so i would say no
Wired hasn't updated their website with the upgrades I'd be reluctant to order with the old spec's showing.
Yeah, I just looked and the cruiser definitely states "hard tail", so I can't pull the trigger yet. "But CitizenCycle said..." might not hold up in court. 🤣
@@jameshanna8762it’s updated
It's updated now
@@bartmanfan99 Thank you!
That's a lot of bike for the money. Very nice.
2000 plus several hundred more for shipping and sales tax isn't chump change for many of us but that said it's a decent value for a more premium ebike.
I am glad I waited to order. As always great video. I am ordering two bikes using your link. Thanks
Awesome, thank you! What colors you getting? I think you will really enjoy them!
@@CitizenCycle925 My wife is getting the blue and I am getting the bright green. Both are step-thru. I am 6,4", 250lb and hoping the step-thru will be big enough.
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.
Finally dual batteries.....this might be the next ebike to get!
Is there a difference in weight or power from the Wired vs. Cruiser? If the Cruiser has the same weight and power, I am definitely going with that.
both power and weight are identical
I need to see your kit on one of the new bikes now please
Just placed an order for hunter green step thru. Cant wait for it to be fulfilled 😎
What is the wait time to get one
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. :(
Same
Yea same here... Hope Wired makes the screen and battery compatible
Me too. 😢
Nice bikes👍 you probably should report that pitty before someone gets hurt. Good job outriding it.
O man now I’m even more excited to order mine in July that’s when our bonus his and they are getting a chunk of mine lol
This looks amazing!
Nice! Like the step through not a fan of having to pay for shipping as I am on the west coast.
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.
Amen! Check out the Ecells offering now and the improved version coming online Monday. I'm thinking, does Wired have a "mole" inside the factory partner that Ecells uses?!?
congrats!!
Changes look great!
Love the green...and the bike!
I thought the green looks fantastic. I liked it better than the white.
Wired will always be the best, love mine! I think they have proved they are the leader and it is a testimonial in itself when others copy your design! But what an awesome upgrade they have made and thank you for bringing it to us in a great video! Your videos are on a whole different level than everyone else's! Thank you for doing what you do, you are the best out there as well!
Sorry, they didn't lead on this
@@drzzit9666 The word is leader, not lead, and yes they are the leader and have proven so.. 😁
@@brianjennings86 leader of what? If you come out with a product after someone already has, how does that make Wired the leader? I get the design of the Freedom may have been first with the 1500w motor. But they took someone else's frame to make it. Also Ecells had the dual battery and the step thru with suspension weeks ago, so not sure how Wired was the leader as you say?
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.
What?! After seeing this review I may have to cancel my order of the competitor's bike and get the new WIRED. The upgrades are a HUGE selling point. Two, batteries, two 203mm rotors, 4-piston hydraulic breaks, upgraded controller and motor, chain stay protector: what's not to love. I might have to overlook the shipping charge. The added battery capacity alone is worth the shipping charge. The speed is unbelievable, not to mention the Pit Bull Avoidance System (PBAS). I know that would be a must for where is live to avoid the bears and mountain lions in the area. Great review. Thanks for posting this information. It will be interesting to see if Ecells responds at all. Competition is good.
Glad you enjoyed the review. Best of luck with your decisions. It's tough right now. Just when you think you've settled on one another comes along that looks better.😁
@@CitizenCycle925 Yeah I may put off my decision until next year in order to see how things shake out. It will be interesting to watch.
Great improvements.
Unless I am missing it they don't seem to have updated their website, looks like the old cruiser pics/specs? -- I was already set on buying a Freedom this year but now it seems the Cruiser is the way to go! Looks like just what I need!
