Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Wired Cruiser. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

12 reasons to buy

In testing with the speed unlocked, reviewers reach up to 40mph by throttle or PAS.
The two batteries total an above-average 2,100Wh, and Wired includes two 3A chargers.
Reviewers say it's easy to customize power output and starting acceleration for each assist level through the display.
The Cruiser quickly climbs steep hills on throttle power alone.
Pedal assist is smooth and responsive, according to testers.
The Gemma four-piston hydraulic brakes and 203mm rotors demonstrate strong stopping power in testing.
The massive 56t chainring combined with an 11t cog allows reviewers to pedal at speeds up to 38mph.
Experts enjoy the smooth ride and comfortable upright riding position.
In testing, a 6’5” 260lb reviewer gets 48.2 miles of range at an average speed of 18.8mph.
The Cruiser's DNM AO-8RC air shock has rebound adjustment and a three-step lockout.
Reviewers appreciate the accessibility of the step-through frame.
The Cruiser comes with a headlight, two taillights, fenders, and a 50lb-capacity rear rack.

13 reasons not to buy

Wired says this bike fits 5’3” to 6’4”, but the 32.2” minimum seat height may be too high for riders at the low end of that range.
The Cruiser is long (79.5") and heavy. A tester weighs the bike at 118.6lb.
Multiple reviewers say the chain drops when going over big bumps.
Testers bemoan the jerky and delayed throttle power.
Three testers complain that the headset is too tight. One says this makes maneuvering difficult.
One tester reports the motor overheating on a steep hill.
The Cruiser doesn't have bottle cage or front basket mounts.
Three reviewers' test bikes arrive damaged.
Several testers complain that the rack-mounted battery rattles.
An expert says adding just 10 to 20lb of cargo on the rear rack makes the bike unstable.
The Cruiser surpasses the legal e-bike power limit of 750W with the motor unlocked.
When unlocked, the Cruiser reaches 19mph in PAS 1, which is too fast. Users should lower this through the display.
The Wired website provides scant product information and images, and there's no owner's manual available online.

Bottom line

The Wired Cruiser is a full-suspension e-bike with fat tires, a 1,500W motor, and two batteries totaling 2,100Wh. Experts praise the smooth and comfortable ride. The Cruiser easily overcomes hills and maintains high speeds in testing, and the powerful brakes instill confidence. However, reviewers recommend lowering the stock speed and power settings, which provide 19mph in PAS 1. The jerky and delayed throttle power, monstrous length and weight, instability while carrying modest cargo, and rattling batteries frustrate reviewers. The Cruiser offers impressive power for this price, but buyers should carefully consider its drawbacks.
