BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Wired Freedom. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
9 reasons to buy
- The Wired Freedom's two batteries total 2,100Wh, which is well above average at this price.
- Testers relish the bike's acceleration when unlocked, quickly reaching 35mph using the throttle or pedal assist.
- Reviewers record speeds of up to 41mph over flat ground and over 30mph on climbs.
- Full throttle power is available at any PAS level.
- Tests show the four-piston Gemma hydraulic disc brakes with 203mm rotors provide sufficient stopping power for this heavy, high-speed bike.
- Two reviewers find the ride comfortable over bumpy pavement, thanks to the upright position and full suspension.
- One tester finds the handling stable.
- The Freedom comes with a rack rated for 50lb, fenders, lights, and a bell.
- A tester says it's easy to find and change settings via the display. This display is visible through polarized sunglasses.
11 reasons not to buy
- The bike ships with Class 2 limits on the motor (20mph top speed, 750W continuous power), but riding it on public roads and paths when unlocked is illegal.
- This bike is extremely heavy at 110.4lb, so lifting and transportation are out of the question.
- A reviewer complains about the rear battery rattling noisily against the rack.
- The rear suspension bottoms out under the weight of a 240lb tester. Another calls the suspension basic.
- One reviewer describes the Freedom as “not safe” in its unlocked configuration.
- A 6’5” tester and another 6’3” tester find the Freedom big. One says riders under 6’0” may struggle with its large size.
- While riding on sand, a tester says the front wheel feels like it’s trying to lift.
- The chain drops on a reviewer's first ride.
- At 77.9”, the Freedom's length exceeds that of many longtail cargo e-bikes.
- There's limited information available about Wired Ebikes, and the company lacks a well-established headquarters, retail location, or dealer network, meaning long-term support is uncertain.
- Wired doesn't offer a digital copy of the Freedom’s user manual, and the product webpage specifications are incomplete.
Bottom line
The Wired Freedom is a full-suspension e-bike with fat tires, a 1500W motor, and two batteries totaling 35Ah. It ships as Class 2, but its legality in this configuration is questionable. Unlocked, it can't legally be ridden on public roads. Reviews are limited, but testers praise the comfortable ride on pavement, high speed, strong acceleration to over 30mph, and stable handling. Reviewers complain of a rattling rack-mounted battery and basic suspension. The bike's size and weight are ill-suited to riders under 6'0". While the Freedom's power and battery capacity are uncommon at this price, the safety concerns shouldn't be overlooked.
