I think the EMX Ultimate 60V by Furious is an awesome machine. It has dual 750 watt motors (front and rear) and is fully suspended, beautiful and FAST! It's price is around $2600, but it's a great deal for what you get.
Said screw it and snagged a base 5 star while it’s still in stock. I don’t care about customizing at this point in the year especially with this tariff. Better deals will be available next year or the one after like always. A base 5 Star is an amazing bike for $1900… Bought a Wired cruiser and that too is an amazing ride but did take $2250 out of my wallet last year and I do think this 5 Star is much better than my 23 Cruiser.
Great Video! I can't wait till you do the deep dive. I've actually started looking into DYI bikes now for various reasons. Do you know if the tariff will affect ebike parts too?
I just checked their website. The way it is presented is that the 5 Stars is still $1995, but if you customize it, there is an added $300. Per their website: "*PLEASE NOTE* To maximize your ride, it’s important to note that a $300 tariff fee will be applied if you wish to upgrade your bike. This is a one time charge if one or more options are chosen excluding storage or accessories."
I got slammed with that increase! Monday night I had my customized Orange Five Star in my cart. Tuesday morning I went to pay for it and I got nailed by the 300 dollar increase. The website even took away my color option. Black ONLY now, apparently. DOH!!!!!!
I made comments on another site where it wasn't comparing current ecells with current wired bikes, it was the 2024. I pointed out you could no longer buy them, you'd get the 24+ version. The site owner said they had none in stock so you couldn't get one. So I then pointed out if you customize the ecell they also weren't in stock. Sorry you got caught in between, and though I was proven right by your experience, it doesn't really make me any happier, these are higher costs to us all.
site was glitching colors are back $300 tariff remains, due to that I grabbed a base 5 start at 1899 too much bike for this price. yes i wanted the dual start but almost $2900 all in for that now(torque sensor and basket) Maybe they will sell an upgrade kit later. idk. oh wells.
@@sledhead904 Yep!! I also opted for the gold anodized rims with a gloss black frame. All in, I paid almost $3100 after a $100 discount code. A HUGE savings by doing the necessary (IMO) upgrades DURING the build phase.
The bikes ecells has in stock is no tarrif. But when you do upgrades the upgrades are done in China.... that means your bike will fall in the timeframe of tariffs
@@leetjohnson Not 100% sure on the reasoning. David Cleveland says he put the price back at $1995 but special orders will have an extra $300 on it to cover tariff expenses.
I have seen some things on China trying to create work around on the tariffs. Not sure what it would entail to do so on e bikes. If I find out more I'll put it here.
No doubt most e-bike prices will go up with the tariff taking effect. Strange that Ecells would post their increase and then walk it back. I purchased the new Freedom and Cruiser a month ago for 1999 each. Thankfully, I locked in before it gets crazy!
Its because they have stock of the stock 5 star in their warehouse already. As soon as their current stock runs out and they have to order from China, the price might go back up.
If you order a Trip Star with the dual star option you are at $2900 vs $2000 for the Wired Cruiser😮. And the Wired bikes are much more powerful and faster than the e cell copy. E cells is keeping the 1999 for bike in stock, but those bikes have 180mm rear, a defective swing arm causing the shock to hit the battery and dangerous quick release or bolt on axles vs thru axle. Stay connected EV is a fake influencer who buys subs and views, he has 101k subs on 600k views vs Tailhappy who has 100k subs on 38 MILLION views! He should be run out of town.
Gonna make Furious AKA Fabulous E Bikes in Canada more competitive.

True!!
Unfortunately, fabulous imports its bikes from China and the tariff would still apply if they bring those bikes into the US.
@jfly2249 fortunately I live 5 miles from the Ambassador bridge to Windsor Canada.

The Base 5 Star is a great bike and an incredible deal!
Thank you. Yes, I agree. The two companies give consumers a good choice based on what they see as their priority.
100%!! Looks like Ecells brought the price back down today....no idea why the flip flopping.
Ecells stock 5star is $1895 with discount still. Wired has released a price increase warning as well.
Yeah, they changed it back to the original price now
Where can I find the wired price increase warning??
Great Video! I can't wait till you do the deep dive. I've actually started looking into DYI bikes now for various reasons. Do you know if the tariff will affect ebike parts too?
Thank you! It shouldn't affect the parts, but I will cover that topic in the deep dive!!

They must only be applying the new tariff fee on ebikes that have to ship from China and aren't already here in the US inventory.
Correct, so to add the $99 torque sensor it will cost $399...
The $300 tariff is waived with a coupon code even when customized bikes are ordered. Influencer codes save you an additional $100.

Hes got the dmn or whatever rear shock for $100 right now also. Big savings

Very interesting topic! Not gonna affect me that much since I’ve already purchased my freedom
Awesome!
@@leetjohnson would you get the ecells bike in your future?
@@CNclov2005 I'm working on it, hopefully!!
No its not check again $1995 ..... plus $100 off if you have discount code to $1895
Wow, that's interesting....wonder why the flip flopping on price?
The bikes ecells has in stock is no tarrif. But when you do upgrades the upgrades are done in China.... that means your bike will fall in the timeframe of tariffs
How do you have 101k subs on only 600k views? You are a complete fake and fraud. Very sad.
check on a different browser or device or change vpn. still $1995. but doesn’t rule out either company may raise base price.
It was at 2,295 for the last 2 days...no idea why they changed it back just now....

Shows $1995 when I checked
They changed it back, but custom orders will be $300 extra.
