ecell 5 star or motor goat v3. i mostly cruise but do a little off road but I need that speed and torque because im 260 pounds, we have alot of steep hills mostly paved. what do you prefer of the two ? thx
Stop promoting bikes sold by idiots who push jesus crap on their website instead of sticking to bikes.
what happens to the bikes after you review them?
@@davewarren9029 That can be a hard decision, you will have to weigh the pros and cons, I like them both, one guy on the goat said his butt hurt after 30 minutes riding the goat needs a better padding. To me I think the options on The E Cells is better and a bit more comfortable ride, adjustable seat and the ride comfort may be a bit better. Also, it looks like the e cells has much better speeds going up hill and I believe the service is much faster and better if something goes wrong. And e Cells looking like a bike and not a motorcycle with new Ebike laws I feel better riding the e cells. I think my favorites and a toss up for power would be E Cells or the Molo5 72V 15000w built in Bluetooth speaker behind the headlight is cool and will ride two or the Mosphera 72 volt which is a powerful off road on road stand or sit down scooter and it can pull a trailer, military use them as well. I like it because you can add a seat and very portable powerful fast and great in the woods incredible suspension. I don't know but for value and service I would go with E cells. Not sure yet which one I will end up with as it's a hard decision.
@quantumfx2677 biggest turn off for e cells and wired was the 26 inch wheels ..their just to big of a bike for me and others..they need a 24 inch verson..that's one of the reasons I went with the billy goat..and I wanted more top speed than both I mentioned..
Nice to see more powerful ebikes that still look like bicycles

Great review. I like that you didn't hide anything. you mention what was upgraded on your bike and even showed the price for the upgrades. You even showed the chain coming off multiple times while explaining that the bikes that ship to customers will have dual chain guards. Great job as always.
Awesome video as always, everyone has been waiting for you to review this one. Apparently, it's the season for e-bike durability testing. It's insane that this bike is so customizable. Build-a-bike!
That how ebikes should be, pay for upgrades, like on a new car, motorcycle. SMART!
@@Wize817or get them for free with the upgraded Wired Freedom and Cruiser.
Dude, you are working so hard for e cells I hope you are getting stock🤣🤣🤣. Not a good look if you want to be seen as an objective reviewer. Beware of people with low ethics, your reputation is your best asset. E cells is simply not competitive vs new Wired bikes, you bet on the wrong horse.
Yay!!! I asked and you delivered us the E-Cells 5-star review! I've been wanting to see this against the wired freedom and I think I've been sold on this one for a while now👍
I have the freedom.... almost the same bike. Freedom was 2300 after the shipping
Love your reviews sir! That metallic blue looks amazing! Saving up for one now. Thank you for your thoroughness.
Awesome review Matt! I ordered mine a couple weeks ago and can't wait to get it. Keep up with all the great reviews!
The New King indeed. Seems to be all pluses for this bike. I ordered one already with a torque sensor and a few other options. This video made me realize the torque sensor adds some safety since the accident in the video would not happen with one installed. Not a lot of reviewers would have left that part in the video. Great honest review.
Glad I read the comments. Yours will help the industry go with torque sensors instead of cadence to avoid lawsuits due to negligence in not mentioning the chain/pedal assist danger.
The new Tiger King maybe😂😂😂. Just watch what happens to e cells😮 If they are so big, why don’t they collect tax in any state? Because they haven’t sold many bikes. They are about to literally implode. I wouldn’t trust the Tiger King with $5.
Thanks for the great review! Very thorough and even included your mishap, which I appreciate. I've been on the fence about getting this ebike, but your video was the push I needed. I dropped the dime on one today! Thanks again!
Was waiting for this review. Might buy this tbh looks fire
I've Been waiting for this video. Just as I suspected. I have a whole new level of excitement. I ordered mine back in early February and should be getting it by the end of this month. 🙂
I ordered mine in February also and the bike I ordered has only gotten better at no extra cost. Yes, the excitement is building, I'm looking forward to tracking the cargo ship on it's way here. I ordered a blue one with panniers.
I got a blue one as well. So cool being able to track the ship. It shouldn't take to long to ship to me once ecells gets a hold of them. I only live about 5 hours away in california. Ecells is right by the state line.👍
Thank you for the code and excellent reviews for this and the Wired Freedom. Free shipping sealed the deal and enabled me to upgrade to a torque sensor andsuspension.
Man, you’ve been burning the candle from both ends lately for as many reviews as you’ve been pushing out. Thanks for sharing and for your content!
The new Wired Freedom now comes standard with dual batteries and their new Cruiser now has dual suspension. Can't wait for you to get your hands on that one. The King of the Hill titles seem to be changing frequently.
Waiting for THAT video is hard to do.
I bought Mine 5 days ago, cant wait to get mine. Great bike and review . So excited!!
Awesome Job Matt! Fantastic bike and great company! You cracked me up good fixing that chain lol!
Perfect timing with that coupon bro! I'm buying one friday!
What would the addition of the torque sensor do? Great review as always. I love the energy you put into your reviews.
Torque sensor senses how much power you're putting into the pedaling and adjusting power to match. Since he was barely moving the pedal, the torque sensor probably wouldn't have even started up.
Thanks for this review!
I love the dual crown forks. Makes it look so much more sportier & awesome looking. I’m getting one. I’m 54 & exited as heck.
I'M 55 and happy to see really good suspension! Comfort is very much missing in many of these Ebikes! They nailed it. Also added your own comfort seat is a bonus! Get a second battery because when a bike is comfortable you always want to ride!
For a 2k usd bike this one actually seems wortg it compared to some of the more recent bikes we have seen, a really cool bike for the price and the modularity is so cool to see
Awesome review of this power house bike 🚴 everyone that buys this bike is going to get their money’s worth 😊
way to go TailHappy the most outstanding review. I bought one super value top-notch review.
The review I've been waiting for! Thank you!
Great review as always. I did the same thing on one of my ebikes, only with my hand. Sprained my wrist...I learned PAS 0 was important that day.
Hold your brake in, it kills the motor
Got my five-star king bike this month! Yeah boy!😎
This is what i been waiting for, currently i have the Ariel kepler. It has power and range but this just took that to the next level, i am loving this new 60v trend, it is going to take the capabilitys of the ebike to the next level of range anf power. Its the bridge between the 72v ebike (basicly motorbikes) and the standard 48V ebike, and this i think is what will truly replace cars.
Yeah, I like it. Your code below helps with the price too. Thanks again Matt.
Hey duuuude! Go into settings and change C5 from 2 to 10. It controls the amps. C14 on 3 for max take off power
I noticed that as well...
Do you know if the settings are explained in the manual that comes with the bike?
Electrified Latina is probably eating crow right now😂
Losing her mind
Don't be afraid to place a truthful comment under her newest Wired Freedom vid! I probably wouldn't have felt that way but she new about the UL certified fraud and went with it! David at E Cells deserve to grow and more people go E cell the better Dave can get offering all kinds of good products and Those like Wired need to loose business as they can't be trusted! When u sell out the people like she is and not even bothering to research Dave's company telling people to go wired because she is making a buck is pure wrong! She even left the deceitful video up! $$$
Excuse me!?!? Please be more polite
LOL
😂😂😂 she was bashing the company and never rode the bike. And she lied and said they copied when they have been using the same frame before wired existing
Nice bike and review Matt 😎🤙
I was getting ready to pull the trigger on a Wired freedom but changed my mind when I saw this. Upgraded all the suspension and added a torque sensor for nearly the same money as the wired. Thank you Tail Happy for the code. 😊
Question.. when you add the torque sensor ,do you keep your cadence sensor as well and choose which one you want to set it to use at that time?
@@stevenwilliams4343no, it's cadence or torque sensor, not both
A couple brands (Juiced, Euphree) have displays that let them interpret output from a torque sensor as if it were a cadence sensor. They let you switch mode depending on which you prefer to use at the time. I normally prefer the control of a torque sensor, but would use cadence sensor mode when hauling or towing a heavy trailer, tweak a knee or am simply exhausted.
@@chow-chihuang4903 true, it is one thing I like about the Discover 2 bike
That's why reach is a good thing before buying anything!
Always love your reviews! Almost pulled the trigger on a wired freedom 4 weeks ago and held off and discovered Ecells. Def glad that I waited and ordered last week. Thank you for confirming my thoughts on my purchase and can’t wait to be riding! I am an avid mountain biker and motorcycle rider and I truly believe this “sleeper” is the perfect bridge between the two! Keep up your amazing and honest reviews! You help so many people who are entering the e-bike world become educated and help decide which style of bike fits their needs. Thank you! 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
What made you choose this over the Wired Freedom? I am thinking about getting either one in the next few months if nothing better comes out, but torn between the two.
Great to see pas catching ebikes out worldwide, especially when you least expect it 😂👌💯
I've done the same thing you did with the chain lol. I'll be getting this bike over the Wired.
Now that you have ridden both the E-Cell Five Star and the Wired Freedom, which would you go back to ride as your daily ride? Thank you for the positive energy reviews!! Good vibes only. 😎🤙🏽
Okay, ordered my Ecell e-bike this evening. Thanks for the code. Upgraded to the big off-road tires, gold rims, and torque sensor; blue paint on a 17" frame. However, unlike you, I will NOT be dropping my bicycle. Thanks for the video.
He didnt drop it. It tried to run away
@@DASO_MILITIA After watching again, I think you may be right.
Wow, also the Gates belt option: pros and cons between chains and Gates belt would be very interesting to know. E.g. belt maintenance-free vs. chain and how the gears work with the belt+can you drive "39mph" anymore? THE MANUFACTURER'S ONLINE STORE DOES NOT EXPLAIN TECHNICAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN CHAIN AND BELT MODELS. SO IT IS THE CONSUMER'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY WHAT WAS ORDERED?
Looks great good job on the review what size was the frame video ?
You said you would address the torque sensor more in the video. Would you recommend it or not? Great video Crash!
Seems like torque sensor almost a requirement with all that power.
Excellent job.
Once I get the chance to be able to buy one of your high scored bikes, I’d be thrilled. This bike seems great, like most the bikes you review
Potted controller is nice. This ebike looks high quality
19:02 , thank you ass always. Ur a real 1
Was there a bike after this, I must have missed it.
Wondering if I upgrade to torque sensor then do I have both since both are paid for? And if bike is equipped with both can it be programmed for use of whichever one you want to use at the time with that display?
Looks identical to the Wired. I do like all the options you get to choose from, that’s nice. I already purchased a Wired Freedom and the delivery time is the same for both or I might actually swap out. Great review, dude! Get JUICED!😂
Awesome monster!!
That mistake with the chain was awesome because I would never have thought about that and now I know. Also this bike is going into my long list of wants.
Holy crap if that dude was 5 sec sooner when that chain came off! glad everyone's safe! Love your test regimen!
Looks Nice !
Excellent review. Matt always gives quality reviews. Very cool that this bike is made in Nevada and the town that I live in.
ECells is Made In China.
Reaaallly need you to unlock the full power and do another top speed test.
We need to see a race between the wired and the Ecells
I'd love that bike.
What do you thinks better this one or the wired bike my first electric bike thanks
Already ordered mine in the blue with gold rims! Can't wait! And when I called ECells to ask a question on a Friday at closing time I spoke to the owner who talked to me for 30 minutes AFTER closing time. I ordered my bike that night.
Hey Mat, great channel, and personality. Can you, in one of your next episodes, focus on lightweight ebikes, specifically for bikers who like to peddle with some additional power for speed and long distance? Thanks, and keep the episodes coming.
Sometime this summer perhaps, checkout my Velotric T1ST review - it’s like the best lightweight pedal focused fitness ebike I’ve tried
I take it from the way this is described that there are no intercontinental third party sellers? I have been going back and forth all week with ANCHEER support team after the Gladiator fried itself on it's first ride, and still waiting to find out if I can send it back for a full refund without needing to pay shipping for their faulty product. Looking at more expensive, higher quality options such as this to consider in the future, and don't want to have to handle a similar experience with third party sellers in a different time zone. Great review, impressive product (as it should be for this price!) and all around it sounds amazing!
I've owned electric stand-up scooters and only dual motor. I want a more enjoyable experience and am interested in purchasing my first ebike. I'd like an ebike that's comfortable, easy to work on, find parts for, and has a long range. I'm not so sure about a single motor ebike, however. I was looking at the Ariel X52 step through or their Grizzly. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Knobby tires on the road can be a good thing. When I'm approaching pedestrians from behind I don't have to use the bell anymore. The unique noise of Nobby tires on the road draws the attention of pedestrians from quite a distance.
Better than wired freedom? Can the ugly branding on the frame be removed? Thanks 😊
My buddy bought a cheap mail order ebike with a similar front axle. Front wheel came loose and he wrecked in the first week he rode it. He sold it for $600 loss after a sprained knee. I paid $2500 for a good Gazelle NL with a thru axle and Bosch mid-drive. In 1300 miles I've had one flat. Torque is much more important than wattage if you ride where there are hills. Gazelle has been around just a bit longer, since 1892.
Cool story bro
Geared hub motor 141Nm of torque. More than many mid drives.
getting close to motorcycle torque, unsafe without thru axle
@@scottrichards3587 Excellent point. Yah EVERY class 3 ebike should have a thru axle, esp. with speeds over 28mph! Its cheap fix.
Waiting to see if you get Philido's new Jumbo Model to test. It's only a 48 volt system but dual motor, dual battery, full suspension. upgrade to the previous king of AWD bikes the H8
I'm just adding another motor to this one!
Glad I held out to buy a e bike this looks like the one.
Have you seen the newly added options? Talking about belt drive and 24 inch wheels
Does belt drive make it a single speed?
Excellent review….shaking out the truth on the ECells 5 star. Spitfire to be sure, durable and reliable. Get the dual crown fork and a few other upgrades. I have been a customer of ECells for a few years…best move I have made in the ebike world after experience some boneheads and con artists. I have the Dual Crown 1500 expecting the Kings Crown upon release.👍
Hello a bike I would recommend trying is the Shengmilo S600 Dual motor e-bike
This looks like an awesome bike, it would be interesting to see how the torque sensor did on this powerful of bike
They probably should not even have the option for torque sensor on this bike as most will only think they want it. Or at least make it very clear how torque sensors don't make sense for most ebikers. On Emtb it's great but on a regular ebike, for most it defeats the purpose. I've ridden some pretty technical hiking trails with cadence, throttle and a 350w hub. Many hear torque sensors are better only to find it doesn't necessarily fit fat ebike rider who doesn't want to pedal hard.
@TheFreshPeddler I totally get that for the average fat tire rider that a cadence sensor is sufficient. But for me, I've biked a lot with both cadence and torque sensor bikes, and I personally prefer the torque sensor over the cadence sensor for the riding I like to do. Therefore I wondered how a high powered bike like this would perform with a cadence sensor. I totally agree that the cadence sensor is sufficient for most people that don't really bike a lot.
I have the E-CELLS Super Monarch Crown. TWO wheel drive, TWO batteries, DUAL suspension, 400 pound load rating (including rider weight). It is a CARGO MOUNTAIN BIKE made for hunting and off road camping. $5,100. So yeah, not a cheap day but when compared to other QWD mountain e-bikes a very reasonable price. With that price you get good quality components like Shimano DeOre 10 speed derailler and 9 torque sensing pedal assist levels and SAMSUNG Li-ion batteries.
Hi Matt, Placed my order this evening for the E-Cells Five Star E-BIKE™1500w 60v 20AH in blue and thank you for the discount code THTV100 for the $100 coupon. Question: Which holder were you using in the video for your phone and which GPS app? Great review and big fan.
Thanks 🙏 I’m not sure what phone mount, not even sure if recommend the one I have, it’s fine. The gps speed app is simply called Speedometer in the App Store
Good review and good comments.. I see that having a carbon belt drive is an option.. That should solve the issue of the chain coming off.. Do you know if they have a mid-drive option?
They do not have a mid drive in this bike, but I do believe they do have some mid drive Bikes
@@TailHappyTV Thank you.. I am looking at more reviews and I am looking at their website..
Great review ! ... Do ECELLS ship to the UK ?
We ship FOB all over the world
The Wired Freedom bike has left the building!
Wired Freedom suck if you have a warranty claim. You will be ignored.
@@willybrown55what did you try to warranty?
Yea, I was thinking the same thing 😂 only thing is, after you upgrade this bike, it's 3k + 🤣
@@shanew7361, I was wondering what all those upgrades would run.
What's up dude 😂😎. I love your videos! Keep the reviews going 🫰🏻🫶🏻🦾
I was looking at comments in the Wired Freedom group on Facebook and they were complaining about the plastic cover on the controller, I made the comment that E-Cells solved this a long time ago. They removed my comment and threatened to ban me from the group. I am an E-Cells fan but I like hearing about all ebikes. What are they afraid of?
What do you do with the bikes after reviewing them? Do you keep them all or return them?
Hey, the site states that you can get the Gates Belt Drive system, man I would love to see that!
Was wondering also. How would it work on this ebike.
Awesome review! Do you know if they ship to Canada?
They do.
It's a clutch on the derailleur that it needs more than an inside chain gaurd it'll still slip off and get stuck or bent
could you do the colorway bk29 or hitway bk29m next (they're the same)
Did you confirm settings were at full power ? The c5 was at 2 when you went into settings. Is c5 the max power setting like it is on the wired ? I have mine at 10 for full power
It would still be full power on that case, but just slower ramp up is all
I was wondering the same thing. It doesn't look like he ever got full wattage out of the bike. Should have peaked around 2600 at full 67.2 voltage, but I only saw low 2000's. Also didn't see an honest 40 mph top speed. He had a slight tailwind and only got 37-38 without peddaling. Should hit 40 with 2600 watts and no tail wind.
@@randallhack4477 controller only lets 60v go through with 40amps of current realistically, we are looking at 2400 watts of absolute peak power, but if this is anything like the wired, 2200 to 2300 is what you'll peak at with 1800 to 1900 on continuous load.
Maybe you can review another E-Cells that has the torque sensor and so compare the two.
My question would be, what would the bike you have cost? Please answer 😢
💯 In actuality, when I did the math this E Cells bike is $600 cheaper when you add wired freedom charging you nearly $300 for shipping, tax and you get less items with the wired freedom, and the E cells warranty is much longer and better than wired
Check out the updated Freedom. E cells has cloned an obsolete ghost. 3200 watts peak and free rack mounted 15ah battery. The new Freedom has 1000 more watts than the now obsolete 5star.
Hey Matt loving all your video man. I'm here in Northern Cali. I have watched so many of your videos and looking for a Step Through bike that has Torque sensor. I know you hate when someone asks you but I have it down to 2 bikes out of 15 I had on a list. Which would you choose between these 2 and why - Hovsco HovAlpha OR Velotric Discover 2 ? AND OF COURSE I'LL BE USING YOUR LINK & CODES!! THANK YOU!
Discover 2
@@TailHappyTV oh wow I thought you'd say HovAlpha. Just curious now why? Lol I was originally looking at Aventure 2 but these 2 seemed better. Was I wrong to assume that? The HovAlpha seems to have better specs all around and did better in your 20% climb and sand test so what gives?
@@TailHappyTV ahh man don't leave me hanging bro lol. Can you tell me some reasons why. Please lol
Honestly, where this bike beats my 2024 Wired that actually is price (no shipping charges!) and stepover height on the frame. 1 inch lower would do wonders for the Wired frame. The customization is just icing on the cake.
has wired helped you with your suspension issue?
Did you upgrade on this bike. if so, can you please tell us what you checked off. thank you !
Whats the brand of motor? Considering an upgrade on my dual motor.
I'm starting to regret ordering matt black. This blue looks really nice
I'm thinking about matte black or gloss black. Can u share a video or picture of urs when u get it?
Will do
I have a 2024 Wired Freedom, which I love. I'm afraid Wired is in trouble now. The Five Star will be my next one.
Yup, it looks exactly like a Wired freedom, but customizable with many more options. Very interesting
@@Tom-ol5zz Exactly. The specs are the same, many upgrades available, no shipping/insurance cost (!), no sales tax. I don't know how they can beat that.
@@ishgumi44 They cant unless this bike suddenly burst into flame lmao
@@Tom-ol5zzIf I was dishonest like wired is I would buy this bike and set up a fake battery fire and do a video just to sway people because of being angry! Hopefully they won't stupe that low but I don't trust them! Not after lying about their UL CERTIFIED BS!
i love this channel
I see on the ecells website they list 24" tires and wheels as an upgrade at no cost. Anybody have pics of the smaller wheels on this bike?
Now thats AWESOME! The size option, of course they shouldnt charge more for it. But love the customizations of the this bike!
I'm betting if you go to a smaller tire. You'll get "peddle strike" going around corners.
@@stevegriffith7236 Doubt it. Peddle strike is only issue with extra long cranks. Standard cranks fit 26 as 20 in ebikes.
I actually asked a couple weeks ago to see when they were gonna send it to you since you are the only guy I really trust in ebike reviews apart from other small channels (Citizen Cycle and Maximum charge EV) so glad you had a good experience with it or atleast the ones that weren't your fault lol, will definitely consider this one a lot harder now
Yes!
You need to do a range test on the dual battery version! ⚡️⚡️
I still want a motor goat!! I’m a 20” fan! 😅
Better bike but it’s gonna attract cops
great review as always! So can you give you personal opinion on how you would order it (which options to take, which to pass) if money was not the main considerations but of course want to be smart ...
