The 2025 Wired Freedom is a high-performance electric bike designed to deliver versatility, power, and speed for both urban and off-road riders. Categorized as a Class 2 eBike out of the box, it offers throttle-assisted speeds of up to 20 mph, with the option to unlock unlimited speeds reaching over 35 mph. This review dives deep into the specs, ride experience, and unique features of this powerful dual battery eBike.

Dual Battery System for Extended Range

One of the standout features of the Wired Freedom is its dual battery setup. The bike comes equipped with two removable lithium-ion batteries:

• Main Frame Battery: 60V, 20Ah, 1200Wh, utilizing high-quality 21700 cells for strong output and efficiency.
• Rear Rack Battery: 60V, 15Ah, 900Wh.

Together, these provide a combined 60V, 35Ah, and 2100Wh of power, enabling a maximum range of up to 90 miles on a single charge under ideal conditions. Both batteries can be charged on or off the bike with included 3.5A chargers, taking approximately 5.5 to 6 hours for a full charge.

Powerful Motor and Drivetrain

The Freedom is powered by a 60V 1500W brushless geared hub motor with a peak output of 3200W and an impressive 153Nm of torque. This motor delivers strong hill-climbing ability and rapid acceleration, making the bike suitable for a wide range of terrains.

The drivetrain features:

• Shimano 7-speed derailleur with a 56-tooth chainring.
• Standard thumb shifter for smooth gear changes.

Suspension and Tires for Versatility

• Front Suspension: RST Guide hydraulic forks with 75mm travel, preload adjustment, and lockout capability, ensuring comfort over bumps and rough terrain.
• Rear Suspension: DNM air shock with 50mm travel, adjustable air pressure tailored to rider weight for a cushy ride.

The bike rides on 26×4-inch Kenda Crusade tires that are puncture-resistant and designed for all-terrain use, offering traction on gravel, sand, and pavement alike.

Braking and Safety

Stopping power comes from the Gemma four-piston hydraulic disc brakes paired with 203mm rotors, providing confident and controlled braking even at high speeds. The bike’s lighting system includes a bright LED front headlight with nine LEDs and a rear tail light with brake light functionality, enhancing visibility and safety.

Size and Rider Fit

The Wired Freedom is a large, robust eBike measuring 81 inches in length and weighing 115 lbs fully assembled. Removing both batteries reduces the weight to 87 lbs, but this bike is built to handle heavy payloads up to 450 lbs, making it ideal for heavier riders or carrying cargo.

Wired recommends the bike for riders between 5’4” and 6’6” tall. For shorter riders, a step-through Cruiser model is available. The Freedom includes two seat post options (short and long) to customize fit and comfort.

Frame and Accessories

The Freedom features a sturdy frame equipped with:

• Metal fenders to protect from road spray.
• Aluminum pedals and a double-sided chainring guard.
• Neoprene cover to reduce chain slap noise.
• Rear rack capable of supporting up to 121 lbs, perfect for cargo or panniers.
• Quick-release seat post and BMX-style handlebars for better control and comfort.

Display and User Interface

The bike’s full-color digital display provides comprehensive ride data, including:

• Battery percentage and voltage.
• Motor temperature.
• Speed and pedal assist level.
• Wattage output and ride time.

Users can toggle through average and max speed, power output, and adjust settings like wheel size, speed units, temperature units, and brightness.

Pedal Assist and Throttle

The Freedom offers five pedal assist levels plus a half-twist throttle for on-demand power. Users can customize pedal assist aggressiveness from three to nine levels and control throttle percentage and start strength for smooth takeoffs. The throttle can be enabled or disabled depending on preference.

Additional Features

• USB charging port on the controller for phones or devices.
• Bell included for safety.
• Headlight control with options for steady or flashing modes.
• Cruise control feature activated via the display to maintain steady speed without constant throttle input.

Speed and Power

When unlocked to the unlimited mode, the Wired Freedom reaches top speeds of up to 47 mph using the throttle, with pedal assist providing a smooth and powerful ride up to 38 mph at assist level five. The motor remains quiet, only audible are the tire sounds, unlike louder motors on comparable bikes.

Acceleration and Start Strength

The bike offers four start strength settings, with zero being the most powerful and three the softest. Even at the highest power start, the bike remains controllable with no abrupt jerks, making it suitable for riders who want aggressive acceleration or smooth takeoffs.

Hill Climbing and Torque

The Freedom excels on steep gradients, effortlessly climbing hills up to a 31% grade using throttle or pedal assist. The torque sensor mode enhances ride feel by adjusting power output based on pedal pressure, providing a natural riding experience and improved battery efficiency.

Suspension and Comfort

Both front and rear suspension deliver a plush, comfortable ride on rough terrain, absorbing bumps and providing stability. The bike handles stairs, gravel roads, and sand with ease, although extended riding in deep sand causes the motor to heat above 300°F temporarily, triggering a brief shutdown for cooling safety.

Range and Battery Endurance

In real-world testing, the bike covered nearly 50 miles on a mostly throttle-driven ride before battery exhaustion. The dual battery system combined with power-efficient components ensures long-distance capability that rivals or exceeds many competitors in the same price range.

Handling and Tire Performance

The large 26×4-inch tires offer excellent grip on various surfaces but could be swapped for heavier tread patterns preferred by some riders for more aggressive off-road use. The bike’s steering is stable with no front-end wobble due to internal frame brackets, and the suspension allows confident cornering at higher speeds.
