WIRED Freedom

Love the bike, I’m 5’11” with a 32” inseam, and am thinking that I should have just ordered the cruiser for convenience. Not really a problem as much as convenience, but this bike is pretty quick when set up for it, I was originally thinking about the Warrior, but made the right decision, and am pleased with my purchase! I added the thumb throttle from Electric All Wheel, and it’s makes it easier to throttle than the twist throttle that it comes with.

It arrived timely and setup was good. I have rode it a couple two hour trips. I added a more comfortable seat and mirror. Very nice bike! Enjoying it.

OK, I have had this Wired Freedom for a few weeks and logged over 200+ miles riding 30 miles per day to work. Good parts: Range. For me to ride to work I have a to go 15 miles one-way. I can go there and back, with high assist, and still have over 50% battery. This is a hilly commute for sure and I have had no range anxiety. Speed. I wanted a fast bike and this thing is pretty good that delivering. I frequently find that I turn down the power delivery since I am trying to avoid conversations on the finer legalities of how I have setup my bike. Multiple settings to dial in how I wanted the power delivery. As above, not being soft-locked out of performance was a big reason I looked at these bikes. I may turn the 28mph limit back on since it is very capable of easily cruising at 35mph if I don't keep an eye on it. Included turn signals, headlight and taillight are very nice to have. Over all comfort has been descent. Bad parts: One of my 2 charges died after the first use, for no apparent reason (replaced under warranty, though I did have to send a video of it not working). Have had 3 flat tires (with road use only) even after adding tire slime/stop leak to the tubes. I suspect cheap/thin tires are allowing these frequent punctures (currently parked the bike after 1 front and 2 rear tire flats, and having these replaced since I no longer trust them to get me to work). I have only ridden this bike on paved roads and high traffic paved bike trails. Derailer does not always seem to stay in one gear. This is worse with hard peddling. Under load it seems to grab between 2 gears, even after checking alignment. This does limit how hard I feel I can push the bike. Overall: I have enjoyed the bike and I hope that I will be able to fix some of the ongoing problems. But if the derailer issue cannot be resolved I expect that I will likely resell the bike.
