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”.Expert Reviews
