Bottom line

If you choose to roll with the Freedom Fatty, you’re going with a good-looking fat-tire e-bike that suits smaller and younger riders. The bike’s top speed is 25 mph with pedal-assist only, making this a Class 3 e-bike. An aftermarket throttle is available. Riders over 6’0” felt the Freedom Fatty was undersized and put them in a ‘hunched over’ ride position. Rural riders are pleased with the bike’s performance on dirt roads. 39 lb is a decent weight for stairbound apartment dwellers, though some owners still struggled. Some frustration has been expressed with the way Wing deals with faulty components. This may or may not be a resolved issue. Owners say this rig is a lot of fun. One describes the Freedom Fatty as “a powerful and sexy ride”.

I’ll be honest with you. I can’t give you a flaw to the bike because I haven’t experienced any flaws yet. If I wanted to add something to the bike, I would say “more speed”. The bike is simple and that’s what makes it so interesting. It’s such a fun bike. One of the best investments I ever did.

Wing Bikes Freedom Fatty: Review and Close-Up. My Experience.

You have to pay [extra] to get fenders, which I think is bull**** bro. As you can see, no suspension, and if you hit a pothole going 15mph, your a** is going to go flying over the handlebars and it’s not going to be a pretty sight. On this bike, pedal-assist is not that great because these tires are heavy. It is not worth the price of what Wing Bikes is actually asking.

New 2019 Wing Bikes Freedom Fatty Unboxing

As far as I’m concerned, I’m pretty thrilled with it. I live in a rural area, it does handle these roads pretty good. There’s somewhat of a ‘cheapness’ to it.
