Off-road only

The Freego Nova 5 is not street legal. It has no pedals, no US e-bike class rating and at 53 mph it is far outside every class that exists. Ride it on private land, closed courses and OHV trails where local rules allow, and check your state's rules for off-highway vehicles before you ride anywhere public.

Overview

A forged aluminum frame and 380 newton-metres

Freego's full-size mid-drive. 8,000 W peak, a 2,880 Wh LG pack, 220 mm front rotors and 53 mph. Off-road and private property only.

The Nova 5 is Freego's full-size mid-drive: 4,000 W nominal and 8,000 W peak through a centrally mounted brushless motor making 380 N·m, fed by a 72V 40Ah pack worth 2,880 watt-hours built on LG 50LT cells. Freego rates it at 53 mph and 40 to 70 miles depending on how you ride it.

The frame is forged aluminum rather than the steel tube most bikes at this money use. Suspension is hydraulic at both ends - a 780 mm fork with 210 mm of travel, and a 265 mm eye-to-eye shock with 78 mm of stroke. Four-piston hydraulic calipers bite 220 mm front and 200 mm rear rotors. Wheels are 19 inch front, 16 inch rear on motorcycle-grade tires. Curb weight is 158 lb and the 84V 10A charger refills the pack in four to six hours.

Off-road use only. No pedals, no US e-bike class, not street legal.

Power & Control

8,000 W peak and 380 N·m through the frame
Mid-Drive, Not Hub

8,000 W peak and 380 N·m through the frame

The Nova 5 puts its motor in the middle of the frame and drives the rear wheel through a chain, rather than building the motor into the wheel. That keeps the unsprung weight down at the rear, which is what lets the suspension work over rough ground, and it puts 380 N·m where the bike can use it. Freego rates the unit at 4,000 W nominal and 8,000 W peak.

Battery & Charging

72V 40Ah, and a 10-amp charger
LG Cells, 2,880 Watt-Hours

72V 40Ah, and a 10-amp charger

2,880 watt-hours on LG 50LT cells - the same pack size as the 79BIKE Falcon GT and the Coswheel R19, and roughly double what a mid-priced e-moto carries. Freego quotes 40 to 70 miles from it. The 84V 10A charger is unusually quick for this class and puts it back in four to six hours rather than the eight most 72V bikes need.

Chassis

An aluminum frame at a steel-frame price
Forged, Not Welded Tube

An aluminum frame at a steel-frame price

Almost everything in this price band runs a welded high-strength steel tube frame. The Nova 5 uses forged aluminum alloy, which is where the 158 lb curb weight comes from on a bike carrying a 2,880 Wh pack. Suspension is hydraulic at both ends: a 780 mm fork with 210 mm of travel, and a 265 mm shock running 78 mm of stroke.

Brakes sized for the speed

Four-piston hydraulic calipers on a 220 mm front rotor and a 200 mm rear. On a 158 lb machine that will do 53 mph, this is the part of the spec sheet worth reading twice - it is the line cheaper bikes cut. Wheels are a 19 inch front and a 16 inch rear on motorcycle-grade tires.

Reviews

What riders say


Q&A

Questions riders actually ask


No. It has no pedals, no US e-bike class rating and a 53 mph top speed, which is outside every class the law defines. Ride it on private property, OHV parks and trails that allow off-road vehicles. Registration rules for machines like this vary by state - check yours before you ride anywhere public.
Freego publishes 40 to 70 miles. That span is the honest part - the difference between the two numbers is rider weight, terrain, temperature and how much throttle you use. Plan your rides around 40 and treat anything above it as a good day.
Same chassis, same 72V 40Ah pack size, different heart. The Nova 5 runs 4,000 W nominal / 8,000 W peak on LG 50LT 3C cells and tops out at 53 mph. The Pro doubles the motor to 8,000 W nominal / 15,000 W peak and moves to Samsung 50S 8C cells, which discharge harder, for 62 mph.
Four to six hours from the supplied 84V 10A charger. That is quick for a 2,880 Wh pack - a lot of 72V bikes ship a 5A charger and take eight hours or more.
Yes - Freego supplies a Manufacturer's Certificate of Origin for every Nova model, and we pass it on with the bike. Be clear about what that does and does not buy you. An MCO is the document a DMV asks for if a machine is registrable in your state; it is not itself a registration, a title or a promise. Freego's own words are that successful public-road registration for this series is extremely rare and they do not guarantee DMV registration or legal riding on public highways and city streets. Ask us for the MCO before you order if registration is the reason you are buying.
It ships free from Freego's warehouse in Chino, California. Freego dispatches in-stock bikes within 1 to 3 business days and quotes 3 to 8 business days in transit to the lower 48. Hawaii, Puerto Rico and other islands are not served - if that is you, talk to us before ordering and we can ship to a continental address you nominate. Inspect the crate before you sign for it, and photograph any damage on the spot.
Freego publishes a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty to the original retail purchaser, split by part. The frame, stem and handlebar are covered for 24 months. The motor, controller, battery pack and wheels are covered for 12 months - the motor specifically for 12 months or 10,000 miles, whichever comes first. Throttle, lights, pedal-assist sensor, display, switches and charger are covered for 3 months. Wear parts - grips, tires, tubes, fenders, fork, kickstand, brake pads, cables, rotors and gears - are covered for 30 days. The battery is covered against capacity loss beyond 20 percent under normal use. Freego supplies genuine parts free within cover and guarantees parts availability for two years; labor is not included. Start any claim with us at support@motorhabit.com.
It arrives part-assembled in a crate. Expect to fit the front wheel, handlebars, mirrors or fenders where fitted, charge the pack fully, and go over every fastener with a torque wrench before the first ride. Budget an hour and a set of hex keys.
