Keep the kits going for the new wired bikes,and cruiser love the thing🎉.
Good video! I am buying a container of ebikes from a manufacturer in China (for a relative who sells bikes), and I am having him invoice and ship the batteries separately in a smaller pallet to minimize impact of higher wholesale tariffs. You may need to get creative like this, also.
I hope you will decide to bring in more 26” kits when you import the 20”. A 25% increase on the wholesale cost would not stop me from buying a second 26” kit.
Enjoying your e-bike enthusiasm. That Wired bike is unbelievable as it is, and with the kit upgrade, out of this world!
❤ Bryan and family, we are excited too--and honored to be among the "Founding Customers" of your brand. Thank you for your honesty and moral integrity to us, your customers. Blessings! And we just LOVE your display screen logo!
God is allowing us to enjoy your work products during His "Eye Blink" Holy Time as an exciting taste of what to expect when we Warp Drive in Heaven. 😍
I like how you now have the displays mounted closer side by side.
I like the double displays.. I also like the double mirrors.. I know some people like putting a mirror only on one side of the bike but I like symmetry..
Yes , I want a 20x4 kit !
Looking forward to the controller upgrade possibility you tried on your Himiway Zebra. It adds so much speed from a standing start.
I would definitely want a 20” bike version. I think I definitely need to change the fork of my Radmini 4 of I end up doing this.
You are a very honorable guy. I would fully understand and expect you to raise your price of the kit.
Yes, I want a front wheel kit for my Lectric XP 3.0. I am ready!
Thanks for the update Bryan! Sorry about the tariff hit. That really sucks for the entire industry. Glad I pulled the trigger when I did. Thank you for all your hard work putting this together! Being a 6,6” 290 pound rider , I need all the help I can get!
Please do a video of your kit on the new cruiser
Hate the tariff got you, but SO excited to get it!
I purchased a Wired Freedom today and they are still 1999.00. I love your videos, Thanks
Been looking at the wired freedom also unfortunately they’re not gonna be available until mid to late July which here in the northwest will eat up most of the good writing season. So I’m hesitant to buy one right now.
Woohoo can’t wait! Thx. So much for the update!
I said it before when you first announced the Warp Drive Kit and I'll repeat it again... YES YES YES to 20 inch Kit 🤣 And that Citizen Cycle boot up logo is SICK
Don't stop the 26! I haven't had the chance to buy one yet!!!! Definitely want to get my aventure 2 this wow factor
Yes on the 20inch kit. I will buy one.
I want a 20" wheel kit !!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!
Hopefully with the motor kits the new WRIED bikes comes with it too
Cool looking set up. Think I'd like a 24" direct drive with 26" air forks, on a 20" fat tire folder & separate battery, controls & throttle. Then have the motor in neutral mainly coasting, forward for acceleration & hills, then have a Regen throttle to charge the front battery & use to brake to save brake pads. Is that possible you think?
I still need a kit!
Any chance the 20” kit will work on a Lectric 1.0? Thanks. Love your content.
Also any news on "Mid Drive" motors on our 20" wheel bikes?
@citizencycle I need one of those 26” warp drive kits w/battery before I get my Wired freedom next month, you’ll have the money within two seconds if you have them in stock.
waiting to see it installed on the 2024 Freedom Wired.... want to see how it works out with the new forks and extra power....?
Hopefully once I get my 20" front motor kit, would I need to change the front forks on my Eahora Juliette????
Just found your site and disappointed I missed out. If you do these (26x4) again, will definitely be interested.
I'll probably make another batch in the near future😁
Will the new cruiser model be suitable for some off roading? Rough bike trails and such. No big jumps of course.
Will you be making the mid motor kit available for the ariel grizzly?
Perhaps use one of the ariel's factory batteries to keep costs down?
I'm still confused as to what the 25% tariff is on. People keep referring to the 25% figure, but is that tariff on the entire bike, kit, etc., or is the tariff only applied to the cost of the batteries?
The San Francisco kit. Everyone in the hills needs one.
The hills where I live are so long and steep no e-bike will make it.
@@hawaiiangunner a dual motor dual 1,000 watt should come close
I didn’t get a 26’ kit. Do want!
How would the kit compare to a Furious Road Warrior or EMX for the 20" AWD bikes?
Are you able to put out a programming video for the controller?
Time to produce locally.
LOL..yes and pay 100% more the same shit
Love those mirrors...where can I get those
I’d like a 20” for my slow pedego element. Id have to paint the red wheel in the back though
Bryan can you please post for us the Display settings you have for the Warp Drive Kit?
I am interested in a 20” kit , would love to add this to my veego which could use help going up hills
I would LOVE a 27.5x2.6 kit (I have the Summit 1). You didn't ask about other sizes, but knowledge is power, right?
I have a Himiway Zebra goes fast enough however I would like more power if I update the fuse to 50 amp and maybe did the shunt trick it is its take off from a stop sign, I am big and old. what do you think.
did you manage to download software to add your logo to the kunteng controller screens or did your supplier do it for you?
Hi ya Citizen! I might have asked this before (sorry) but did you review Ecells?
That thing rips 👌🏼
One hr after this vid posted and I was still too late for a standard size kit 😭
do you have any left if you have an extra kit ill take it i waited to long
I would be interested in a 20” kit
Did u save me one ?
yes I want 20inch wheel kit
What is the price on 20-inch kit and will it fit xp 3.0
Hi Brian, I have an X-Class 52V bike, would I need to change the forks to handle your front motor kit? Thanks!
I have a 2019 radrover would I need new fork if I order the kit
It looks great
I’ve never seen anyone else wear their metal watch bands so loose.
Those Walmart bands...
@@tenncuttI bet that they are adjustable just like your other Rolex’s!
I’m looking for a front hub motor for my 2nd edition wired freedom I have. Do you have any left.
yes on front motor 20". Needs to be DD with regen, and front wheel spin has to be controlled. You need to demo how to control it instead of demoing donuts. Once you commit to dual motors you are giving up light weight, and heavier DD motor is non issue for the extreme benefit of regen.
I was wondering how much does a kit cost for a 26x4 fat tire e-bike front wheel? Just curious
I was wondering how long it would take the government to get money from ebike ownership
Yes I want one do it
I just got a bike that has dual 750 w Bafang gear hub. It has a small 19a controller how much can I upgrade on my controllers please and thanks
Nice looking bike...very similar style to the ebike I built
video on my page
I think that the bands look cool worn that way! You are a true renaissance man!
Can the front motor kit go on the new wired cruiser, since it has RST guide forks and 2 batteries?
Unfortunately the front motor kit does not work with the through axle of the new wired bikes. you'd have to swap the forks to the old kind
I don't want one, I need one; 20 inch wheel motor kit
Citizencycle I would like 1 of your kits.
I have a Airel Rider 52v X class I would like a 20" kit.
ok this answers my question, i was not sure if the tariff only effected full bikes or if it included parts and components, this sucks hard!
Say Thanks Trump and Biden..lol
If you do a 20” kit I’m in
I have a 2024 Freedom and I'd like a front motor kit. Can you send me one?
In this video you said you might have two or three kits left. It says out of stock on the website but I would really like to have one. Is there any way I can get one from you? Thank you
Anyone put this on a magicycle deer yet? Such a nice bike but underpowered and heavy.
Thankfully Wired is absorbing the tariff on bikes ordered before the tariff and the delivery was pushed to July.
Wait, is there a delay for the June shipments? They’ve been telling everyone “late June”.
@@stevenpeavler959 It gave me mid to late July, but right now it looks like they're sold out
Edit: Right now it shows mid to late July on their website for the Freedom, I bought the cruiser model
@@stevenpeavler959 I got an email saying due to citizencyle and others saying they preferred speed to cadence they stopped the June shipment to have all the new bikes reprogrammed. Was in my spam folder.
@@stevenpeavler959 received May 26th
All.I ro k is 20x4
I do not have a e-bike. For the last 3 weeks I have been searching for my very first one. After seeing all these videos about tariffs I am walking away. Cheaper for me to just go buy another motorcycle.
True, but you do not have the freedom riding in parks, side walks, plus you need an insurance and registration. I thought about that too.
wow
f the tariffs too bad you can't buy from a company that knows how to sneak around them haha. i think there's still a way around the tariffs if they lower the declared value of the ebike below $800
Dream on
@@gaim44 lol if the wheel and hub motor ships in a different box it should have a lower tariff
@@Timbodacious You said tariff..lol
16” and a 20” please lol.
the Biden administration announced major new tariffs on Chinese imports, including electric vehicles, batteries, solar cells, and a range of other goods. The goal was to prevent China from flooding the market with cheap products that could endanger domestic manufacturers.
the Office of the United States Trade Representative said that e-bike batteries imported from China would be subject to 25 percent tariffs starting in 2026, up from 7.5 percent. E-bikes and their components imported from China have been subject to 25 percent tariffs since the Trump administration, but US trade officials have used exclusions to keep those levies from kicking in.
Now, those exclusions are set to expire on June 14th, according to Bicycle Retailer. Some products, like bike trailers and helmets that are made in China, will still be excluded. But e-bikes, some youth bikes, and other components will now be subject to the 25 percent levy. And that is going to have a major impact on the affordability of e-bikes in the US.
Tariffs do nothing for the working man but keep prices high for the lazy wealthy man.
I'm not in the game. Jack them up not your fault. It's America 🇺🇸 we understand.
The 25% did NOT raise prices. The 2018 era 25% tariff ended on June14, the new 25% one is same percentage, and simply REPLACES IT.
Wait a minute, are you absolutely sure that your parts are getting a tariff. It was my understanding that it was Chinese bikes, bikes that we’re getting a tariff. Think you should check into that. I just checked the 25% Terrace on e-bikes and e-bike parts has been in place since the trump administration Biden is just continuing them so there should be no increase in price to what you’ve been quoted because the tariff is already in place when you place your order, don’t let them double charge you
Thanks Biden

“The expiration of Section 301 tariffs will cause a further weeding out of underperforming e-bike companies and, unfortunately, consumers will most likely see prices rise across the industry,”
Trump and Biden put on the tariffs...lol
Thanks Trump and Biden!!! For the wonderful tariffs on China so we can pay more for stuff that the USA cant manufacture anymore..Jesus thank you lord.
20" Please Great video Thanks!
I want a 20 inch kit!
