Who We Are

We are Steven & Dan. Two guys from Chicago who knew nothing about running an e-bike company five years ago! Some would say (actually a lot of people would say), "these guys have no business entering the e-bike market." Well...those people would be right! However, common sense did not stop us! The determination to achieve our vision had remained steadfast: creating the most powerful e-bike in the market with both quality and affordability in mind. We knew it was possible to create an e-bike with the biggest battery, most powerful motor, and unmatched performance all at an affordable price. Something that no other e-bike company had accomplished. Fast forward 5 years. Wired Ebikes was born and the e-bike market became officially disrupted!   


Steven's Story

When my kids were little, I always "needed" to make their electric toy vehicles faster and much more powerful than how they came. I could not help myself! Power Wheels conversion from a 12v, single motor system to a 52v, dual motor system with rubber tires for traction and tricked out with blue interior LED lights and an off road light bar! My10 year old son's electric Razor motorcycle somehow magically got converted to a 60v system with a 1200w brushless motor while he was sleeping one night! Yes, I have serious issues. I then became obsessed with creating an e-bike that was much more powerful than the rest. Something that didn't look like it was made with the same "cookie cutter" as the rest.

Dan's Story

As a kid, my friends and I were obsessed with our bikes. We all had hand me down bikes from older siblings that we would take completely apart, strip off all of the old paint, sand them to a mirror finish and then paint them with multiple layers of paint and gloss. We would then use all of our paper route money to buy the best wheels, tires, brakes, handlebars and grips to try to build the best bike we could. As I got older, that obsession turned to cars. I loved the 60’s and 70’s muscle cars and as soon as I saved enough money I bought my first old muscle car and set to work souping it up to make it faster and nicer. As an adult, my love of biking was rekindled and my wife and I love to join all of our friends to take long bike rides to enjoy nature and friendship all while reliving the joy of the wind blowing through your hair as you delight in the feeling of freedom when you are out on your favorite bike. Once I discovered the thrill of E-Bikes, I was hooked. I wanted to build the most powerful and longest range E-Bike on the street.

Our E-Bikes

Our goal was to make a fantastic product for an incredible price. If you look at the specs of our e-bikes, there is NOTHING that comes even close for the price. Our dual battery system includes a 60v 20Ah battery in the front and a 60v 15Ah battery in the rear. That is a total of 2100Wh's of distance dominance! We use Samsung cells for all of our batteries. So, not only are they the biggest around, they are also the best quality. We use a rear geared hub motor manufactured by Hengtai. These monster motors output 3200w of peak power! This is one of the highest quality motors available on the market. Our motors use a hybrid of steel re-enforced internal gears. Bafang, the most popular motor for e-bikes uses nylon gears! Why? Because nylon is cheaper than steel. We use a color display when most other companies use a black and white display. Our controllers are 45 amps. No other e-bike company currently uses more than a 40 amp controller. Most use 22 amp controllers. Why? Because they are cheaper. There is no other company that produces an e-bike with as much power, speed and affordability as Wired Ebikes. Other companies try and imitate us. However, nobody rivals us! Wired Ebikes is the true innovator in the ebike market.


 

Frequently asked questions

Have questions? We’re here to help!

Hey WIRED, what's up with the name change?


Many of you may have noticed that our company name had recently changed. We entered the e-bike market as Wicked Ebikes. We have now officially changed it to Wired Ebikes. You might be thinking...ok, so what gives?!? Why would you do such a thing??

Jealousy is a funny thing. 

Wicked Ebikes stormed into the market and one unhappy "e-bike" company took notice. See how I just used quotes around the term e-bike? That's because they sell "e-bikes" that don't look anything like traditional e-bikes. They look like old school motorcycles. Nothing like ours! 

Well, their attorney sent a "cease and desist" letter indicating that Wicked Ebikes was infringing upon their Trademark name. I tried explaining that our e-bikes looked nothing like theirs and both company names were different enough that potential customers would not be confused. It fell on deaf ears.

We will not disclose the name of this "unhappy" company, however, they sell products for $3495 that look strikingly similar to these products that could be purchased for $960 by any one:

(click on link above to see)

In the end, we decided to give this other company their "safe space" so they wouldn't feel "triggered" by our name any further. That's when "WIRED EBIKES" was born! 

"The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time."

Are rack and fenders included?


Absolutely!

All of our e-bikes come with front/rear metal fenders and a sturdy rear rack included with the purchase price. No need to pay extra for items that we believe should be included on all e-bikes sales throughout the country! Other companies discount their "standard" e-bike prices and then upsell racks and fenders to their customers. Here at Wired Ebikes, we know our customers want fenders and a rack for no extra charge. You got it!

What is the maximum speed on both the Freedom and the Cruiser?


35 mph (Estimated with a 160 lbs rider)

However, please be aware, that increasing the factory set speed of 20 mph changes the legal classification of our ebikes. All of our ebikes are shipped as class 2 from the factory. That means we have them programmed with a maximum speed of 20 mph.  
Legally, your ebike can no longer be considered a class 2 if you increase the maximum speed above the 20 mph factory setting. Changing the speed limit is at the rider's own risk and not advised by Wired Ebikes, LLC. Please check your local/state/federal laws to make sure you’re not breaking any laws by changing the speed limiter. Wired Ebikes, LLC has manufactured their ebikes to be ridden at 20mph and is not liable for any damage that might occur due to high speeds. We take pride the the durability of our ebikes, however, speeds higher than 20 mph create much greater wear and tear on components. Increased wear and tear on components from speeds greater than 20 mph will not be covered under warranty. Besides wearing down the components of your ebike, going at speeds greater than 20 mph on bike paths or other areas with cars, pedestrians and other bicyclists is just plain dangerous! 

What is the "real world" range on the battery?

Depends! In default settings and on PAS 1, approximately 80 miles.

Our battery is one of the largest on the market. That is an undisputable fact. 60v 20ah with Samsung cells is outrageous! What this means is that our batteries have 1200wh. Just do a google search of the battery size of our competitors (Rad Power, Aventon, Juiced, Sondors, Ariel Rider...). No other ebike comes close. Unfortunately, a lot of companies greatly exaggerate the distance that their ebikes can travel on a single charge. Most of them are 48v 14ah batteries. Unless you are going downhill or getting a serious burn in your leg muscles from peddling so hard, 30 - 40 miles is the most you will achieve on a small battery. Its just physics!  

How many watts are the motors and why is it important?

2200w Peak
1500w Continuous

In order to determine the overall "power" of an e-bike, the wattage is the most important measurement to consider. Wattage is a measurement of how much power the e-bike's motor can potentially generate. A motor with more watts is usually faster and has greater hill climbing ability (torque).  The majority of e-bikes have a 500w continuous/750w peak motor. Both of our models (Freedom and Cruiser) come with a 1500w continuous/2200w peak motor. That is twice the power of our competitors! 

Continuous wattage refers to how much power the motor can handle on a continuous basis, while peak wattage is the highest amount of power a motor can output under stress. 

Both of our models come shipped as a class 2 e-bike which means the motor is limited to 750w of continuous power. This is to make sure our e-bikes stay in legal compliance of federal and state laws which use the three classes. The setting are adjustable to change from class 2 to another class or even unrestricted. However, you must comply with your local laws and only use unrestricted mode on private property where it is safe to unlock the e-bikes full potential. Riding over 20 mph on a bike path, public road or other public area is not safe and should never be done.

What is the different classifications of e-bikes?

Generally speaking, there are three (3) classifications of electric bikes.

These 3 classes of e-bikes are called:
Class 1 E-Bike
Class 2 E-Bike
Class 3 E-Bike

CLASS 1 E-BIKE
This class of electric bicycles uses a motor that provides assistance only when the e-bike is being pedaled. It stops providing assisting when a speed of 20mph is reached. Class 1 e-bikes do not have any type of hand throttle. Assistance is only achieved through actual pedaling. The motor is limited to 750 watts on all classifications.

Top Speed
This class of e-bike is limited to a top speed of 20mph. You can physically pedal faster than that. However, the motor will not assist you beyond 20mph. 

Access
This class of e-bike is legally allowed on all bike lanes and bike paths where traditional bikes are allowed. These include bike-only paths, parks, roads, bike lanes, and multi-use trails. They are also allowed on mountain bike trails.

CLASS 2 E-BIKE
This class of electric bicycles uses a motor that can be solely used to propel the bicycle without the need to pedal. Meaning, Class 2 e-bikes usually have a throttle that can be used to provide assistance simply by twisting or otherwise engaging that throttle. You can get to point "A" to point "B" without pedaling at all. You can throttle the whole way! The great thing about this classification is that you can do either one or both: pedal and/or use throttle! Whether you use the pedals for the boost or use the throttle, power assistance will cease to help over 20mph. As you can see, the speed limitations of power assist is the same on Class 1 and Class 2 e-bikes. 20mph is the maximum you can receive assistance on for both classifications. The only difference is that the Class 2 e-bike will come with a throttle along with the ability to just obtain help from the motor by pedaling. The motor is limited to 750 watts on all classifications.

Top speed
Class 2 e-bikes will assist the rider up to 20mph whether using the pedals or throttle.

Access
Class 2 throttle-assist e-bikes are generally allowed in most places traditional bicycles are allowed. These include all bike-only paths, parks, roads, bike lanes, and, multi-use trails. However, some local laws do not allow throttle assisted e-bikes on their traditional bike paths. You need to check your local and state laws to remain compliant. 

 
CLASS 3 E-BIKE
This classification is the same exact as a class 1 e-bike, except for one thing: the motor will assist the rider up to 28mph. Just like the Class 1, there is no throttle on a Class 3 as well. The rider can only obtain assistance from the electric motor by pedaling. When rider exceeds 28mph, the electric motor will cut out until it detects the speed of 28mph or below. Federal regulations and some state laws indicate that Class 3 e-bikes must have a speedometer on them as well. However, most every e-bike will have a speedometer built into the display no matter what classification it falls under. Most e-bike riders want to know how fast they are traveling! The motor is limited to 750 watts on all classifications.

Top speed
This classification allows the motor to assist the rider up to 28mph. No throttle is allowed on any Class 3 e-bike. The class 3 electric bike has the highest top speed of all classes. 

Access
Class 3 e-bikes are restricted from all shared or multi-use paths, bike paths, and trails shared with pedestrians. They are mostly restricted to on-road bike lanes. In some cities in Europe, a class 3 e-bike is regarded as a motor vehicle. A special license is required to ride one. 
How do I turn the power on and otherwise operate the display and it's features?
What makes your e-bikes different from all other products on the market?
Our goal at Wired Ebikes is not to be the biggest e-bike company around. We want to be the best! We know the only way to achieve that title is to provide our customers with an e-bike that offers more features, better quality and competitive prices. We challenge any potential customer or any competitor to find an e-bike, commercially available for sale, with the features that we offer. As a matter of fact, we challenge anyone to find another e-bike out there with at least two (2) of the features of our e-bikes!


2200w peak geared motor

60v 20ah battery (Samsung cells)

Ability to change e-bike classification

$1999 price

How much do the e-bikes weigh?
The Freedom and Cruiser both come in at around 88 pounds with the battery installed. Remove the 12 pound battery from the frame and the weight drops down to 76 pounds.
