Nothing but great reviews about this bike all over UA-cam with so many people just blown away by the ECells company and the CEO David Cleveland. Great job once again ECells!
Maximum vs Unrestricted now that is a matchup! Love the content as it show the versatility of this grand bike. I love that you can design and make it what you need! All the best and Thanks too E Cells for making a premium bike loaded with options
Great vid Alex! This e-bike looks great, even better close up - but the performance seems to be it's biggest draw - Refreshing to see that these newer E-bike companies are starting to really listen to the younger E-biking community and they're now competing against each other to make powerful, fun e-bikes... I'd sure love to take this bike for a spin!! Under $2K too, damn I want one... Stay safe my fellow e-bikers.
@@maximumchargeEV Cheers, am just putting my e-build all back together after problem diagnosing, blown controller...decided to try using this little sw900 display, never used one before Alex, you any tips or tricks for this bad boy ? 🤣
@@maximumchargeEV oh, it's just the cheap sw900 display that came with the latest 1500w48v Voilamart kit I ordered due to a knackered rear wheel, figured I'd hook up the display, I never used it before, always just used mobile phone holder and a GPS app called 'speedview' - free app, ...it's all good though I've just been watching a few vids on the sw900 for all its settings etc, I just wondered if you'd used the sw900 displays before and had any secrets/tips for maxing out anything (speed etc😅) - Think I've got it just about sussed now from watching UA-cam vids, am gunna test it all in the morning to see how it goes.. Cheers though...
@@maximumchargeEV ...Super late reply 😅 but I'd not used the display before, had it wired up to a different throttle that has a small battery meter display on it...figured I'd give the sw900 a try as I'd never bothered trying to use it before.. It's a pretty basic display (not colour) but has some ok features such as cruise control and walk mode...
I have one on order with the dual crown shock & dual battery upgrade + torque sensor. So excited to start riding it on my channel when it eventually gets here!
Just bought mine with the torque sensor upgrade! Do you know how extra long the shipping will take as i’ve heard it extends it for a good bit and i am very eager to take it out already!
I'm pissed cause I ain't got one ! Wish I could trade in my wired freedom 2023 with some cash to get double crown deal with the extra battery . I only ride mine on roads and the monon trails .
My friend, which bike handles better on that mountain ride you did: Goat V3 Motor, top of the line Wired or the 5 star e-cells. Thanks for your opinion
@@maximumchargeEV does the cadence sensor make the motor stop working at certain speeds in each PAS power level? Like if you're in PAS 1 does the motor cut out at let's say 14mph? Or does the motor keep working as long as you keep pedaling?
I just had one of my two ordered Five Stars delivered yesterday (had it 24 hours!). This one is red and the other coming is blue. The Five Star emblem looks classy, not tacky. And what a beast of an ebike. Very impressive build and the 17" is plenty big...Translates into confidence while riding, and oh, what a smooth ride, wow.
Alex you said the RockShox option is a $100 upgrade. On the 5 Star order page it is $169. Is this something that when you call in they honor the $100 price?
Hey there, was wondering if you could send me a link of your audio setup and how you would do your audio if you were riding with a full face helmet on . Thanks!
Chit, nice of you to give STC code. You guys have a agreement of some kind? I think he gave your code on his 1st review. I have room for 1 more subscription, have enjoyed several of your videos.
@@maximumchargeEV Well you’ve certainly had me there, I suppose typical use to travel large spaces mainly on roads or footpaths into town, as U.K. user, I’m surrounded by country roads and private land. I would likely include pedals regardless but off-road would likely be just well established paths anyway nothing crazy, occasional bike trails here and there..
what are the possibility of this bike getting a 40-50ah battery mod? xD The goat bike battery mod would be sick on this bike as well if it could be done somehow
@@maximumchargeEV yeah, that's the tricky part with this frame. I was wondering if it's somehow possible. It might be easier to do it on the step star that they have since it's a step through
@@maximumchargeEV i have a funny idea. Isn't the second battery placed under the rear rack? Why can't we use the rear rack to place the battery instead? would the bike feel funky with 30 pounds of battery weight there? I kinda had the inspiration from walke's battery placement haha.
I'm concerned about this E-Cells Five Star company and its CEO. I ordered my E-Cells 5 star on 7th May. I already paid the full payment. If I ask them, when I will get my e-bike they never respond to me. Several times I tried to reach them. I sent them 2 to 3 emails. I texted to that CEO's number. I called that company. They neither picked up my call nor responded about a specific date. If I post about this stuff, the company just only ask me when I have made the order or order no. I tell them everything and ask them about the particular date then they stop responding. Please, guys, be careful. I think that I have been cheated by this company.
On their website it says: Standard Orders: Receive your FIVE STAR bike within 60 days. Custom Orders: Your tailored Five Star bike will be shipped within 75 days of your order date.
We need more CEO's like him Bruce, that's for sure, it's great news though, seems he really listens his potential customers, and he's made a great e-bike it seems. All the best fellow e-biker!

Good to see the STC and MC bromance blossom. You guys should do a crossover episode. 😁
Maybe! Not sure about what though
Great job...Great review...Great Shoot the Chit Parody...😂💪🦵🚴♂️
Thanks Bruce!
Great job as always Alex!
Thanks man!
Awesome video I really like the bike 🚴 in fact I have one on the way with many options 😊
Hell yeah congrats!
I would like to see some hill climbs on this bike. Like San Francisco type hills. To see how it can tackle those.
I do a steep hill climb In the review for the bike and all my reviews
tail happy has a fine review of the steepest hill in la area
I have one on order with the dual crown shock & dual battery upgrade + torque sensor. So excited to start riding it on my channel when it eventually gets here!
hell yeah. Make some videos for us so we can see how that torque sensor is.
Just bought mine with the torque sensor upgrade! Do you know how extra long the shipping will take as i’ve heard it extends it for a good bit and i am very eager to take it out already!
I'm loving my Five Star, I ride it every day. So much fun. Would like to see a review with torque sensor.
Yeah that would be cool to see that.
I'm pissed cause I ain't got one ! Wish I could trade in my wired freedom 2023 with some cash to get double crown deal with the extra battery . I only ride mine on roads and the monon trails .
You could probably sell it
All different types of bikes. Good I’m glad you like it. I don’t that’s why they make different styles.
Very true!
I want this bike now. Great bike!! Subbed ✌️
I love jumping mine I deleted the rear rack and fender and she sends!
Oh hell yeah. I think I saw your video. Good stuff!
@@maximumchargeEV thanks man same to you, carful going off those cliffs!! lol
Nice video, awesome bike
thanks!
My friend, which bike handles better on that mountain ride you did: Goat V3 Motor, top of the line Wired or the 5 star e-cells. Thanks for your opinion
Five star
Total a different bike.
@@papap.8006 And how about the Wired bicycle? That is, between the Goat motor, E-cell and Wired,. The E-cell is much better?
I normally like a torque sensor. How is the cadence sensor.
Thanks
Russ
I actually prefer cadence sensors and this has one of the best ones out there
@@maximumchargeEV does the cadence sensor make the motor stop working at certain speeds in each PAS power level? Like if you're in PAS 1 does the motor cut out at let's say 14mph? Or does the motor keep working as long as you keep pedaling?
@@18andlikeitIt works as long as you are pedaling there is no cut off
Really love this bike but wondering if there’s anything out there with similar speed and performance at a lower price point?
Not with this build quality
@@maximumchargeEV thanks! Looking for something for recreation and occasional commuting. This is a great review!
YOU AND CHIT MUST NEVER RIDE TOGETHER !!!!
Funny you should say that. Stay tuned for this oct.
Where are your protective gloves...?
Not aerodynamic
@@maximumchargeEV...😂😅
@@maximumchargeEV made me laugh !!! 🤣
Ecells Five Star is the best bike of 2024 - doesn't fall apart on you like wired freedom, and the customer support is second to none
It's a great bike for sure!
Do you think it’s possible to use mountain bike bars on this bike?
You def can
Yes
How easy would it be to remove the those goofy 5 stars from the frame? Nice review.
Probably easy. I think they look good though.

That is a great upgrade for $100.
I would ask customer service about that. I went by what David posted on the fb page and spoke to him about it later on.
Hey there, was wondering if you could send me a link of your audio setup and how you would do your audio if you were riding with a full face helmet on . Thanks!
I mention that near the beginning of my aniioki range test and show how it's all mounted. Just check that video out and you'll see it.
@@maximumchargeEV you’re the best thanks!
@coreyalexander4766 thanks! Happy to help
Chit, nice of you to give STC code. You guys have a agreement of some kind? I think he gave your code on his 1st review. I have room for 1 more subscription, have enjoyed several of your videos.
Thanks man! No agreement, just being nice since he told you guys my code from before
Whats the fastest ebike you know of under 1000$? The cheaper the better for me. Im also 270lbs so i need a high weight limit.
Meelod m7
E-Cells 5* or The motor goat v3? If you could only have one for fun and style
would I be doing any off roading? Do I want to pedal? Would I take it on bike trails and rail trails or only ride on the roads?
@@maximumchargeEV Well you’ve certainly had me there,
I suppose typical use to travel large spaces mainly on roads or footpaths into town, as U.K. user, I’m surrounded by country roads and private land.
I would likely include pedals regardless but off-road would likely be just well established paths anyway nothing crazy, occasional bike trails here and there..
I unlocked the speed limit that was 72km/hour or 41mph. How could it reach at 49 mph?
It was downhill
With the 5 stars they should call it the "General Weeeeeee".
I was gonna tell Tim that my daughter has the same shoes haha
LOL
what are the possibility of this bike getting a 40-50ah battery mod? xD The goat bike battery mod would be sick on this bike as well if it could be done somehow
Where would you fit such a battery?

Is your side mirror the one ecells sells for 20 bucks?
no it's meechow from amazon.
Is that Mario behind you on tv?
That is Tim!
The scary version of Mario
@@daleloch1089 I know I know but with that overlay it looked like a scary Mario.

17” or 19” with 30” inseam 6’ft tall?
17
17
Not sure what my inseam is but I'm 6' tall and I'm glad I didn't the 17". The 19" fits me perfect.
Not sure if i like this bike or not . I have a keplar only complaint is it sit so hi
I used to own the kepler. This is lower.
I tried joining your Facebook groups but I'm waiting for approval.
it should automatically approve unless you don't have a profile photo or are on a new facebook account.
