Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530 Review Canada (2026): Real Range, Fit and Law, Computed

Zeus on a gravel two-track in Alberta aspen parkland at first snow, with a black Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530: a Playcut.ai rendering made from the photograph on Freesky's Warrior Ultra page.
By Milad Ghobadibeygvand, BScN (Western University, 2014) · Freesky's pages, manual and certificates and every provincial and territorial rule re-read on 28 October 2026; four recall registers searched on 28 and 29 October 2026
We sell this bike. Zeus lists the Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530 at $2,999 ($3,149 in Camouflage). Our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, sells it in the United States, and this review uses RedTail's published research where it measured something we did not, with a link at each point of use.
The Warrior Ultra is Freesky's M-530 fat-tire bike moved to a 60-volt pack: two hub motors, one at each wheel, full suspension and 26 × 4 inch tires. Every Freesky figure below was read on 28 October 2026 from Freesky's Canadian and US product pages, the manual and the two certificates those pages link. Every range and fit figure is computed, with the method linked, and every provincial and territorial rule was re-read from its published text.
The Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530 is a 60 V, two-motor, full-suspension fat-tire e-bike that Freesky rates at 6,000 W peak and 45 MPH (72 km/h). It is built for private land and permitted trails: its printed speed is past every provincial e-bike limit.
- Range: about 116 km at 32 km/h and 152 km at 25 km/h on both motors, 90 kg rider, flat, 25 °C (modelled); about 120 km at 25 km/h at 0 °C, the bottom of the battery window in Freesky's manual.
- Fit: Freesky prints 5′5″ to 6′8″. On RedTail's 6,068 measured adults, at least 8 in 10 fit from 5′1″ (the shortest height measured) to 5′7″ on the seat height Freesky lists, or from 5′9″ to 6′1″ on the taller seat its drawing shows; an inseam of about 82 to 84 cm suits both.
- Certificates and recalls: the two TÜV SÜD certificates Freesky links rate a 47.19 V system and pack, and the Ultra runs 60 V; no recall in Health Canada's, the US CPSC's, the UK's or the EU's records names Freesky, and the UK and EU records carry a 2026 border rejection of a different Freesky model, the 540E.
- Verdict: in our view, a strong machine for heavy loads and rough private ground, and the wrong one for roads, paths or a condo storage room.
- At Zeus: the Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530 is $2,999; the comparison sets it beside the Warrior Pro, the Eurostar Turbo and the Tesway X9 Ultra.
- Freesky's figures: Freesky's Canadian and US product pages for the "Upgraded 60V Warrior Ultra M-530", read on 28 October 2026 in a headless browser with every panel opened and saved, with the M-530 user manual and the UL 2849 and UL 2271 certificates its pages link. We matched the bike by Freesky's own product record: our four colours and its four colours are the same, and its SKUs end in ULTRA.
- Our US sister store's research: RedTail eBikes published a Warrior Ultra review in August and a Warrior Pro review in October with range and fit models for the M-530 frame; we used both, linked at each point of use.
- Range: RedTail's Warrior Pro range model, imported unchanged; it reproduced all 15 of RedTail's own published figures before we gave it the Ultra's 60 V pack, and we ran it in metric at Canadian temperatures.
- Fit: RedTail's fit run of 6,068 measured adults from the ANSUR II survey against the M-530 frame, which Freesky prints with the same geometry for the Ultra and the Pro.
- Law: 44 quoted passages from the federal regulations and 13 provinces and territories; 42 were found again in copies read on 28 October 2026, and the Northwest Territories' two Acts at the Internet Archive.
- Safety records: Health Canada's recall search and the US CPSC recall database (28 October 2026), and the UK's product safety register and the EU's Safety Gate (29 October 2026), each run beside a control search that had to return results. Australia's recall site answered our research browser with HTTP 403 on 29 October 2026, so it is not among them.

Who is the Freesky Warrior Ultra for?
Freesky launched the 60-volt Warrior Ultra on 21 August 2026, RedTail reported, and we added it on 15 September. At 44.0 kg and a printed 72 km/h, it is easy to buy for the wrong job: no province or territory treats it as an e-bike on its roads. It is built for private land and permitted trails; below, we compute its range, its fit and where it can be ridden.
Private land can mean acreage, a farm, a cottage lot or a hunting lease; a permitted trail is one whose network allows motorised vehicles. Two driven wheels put power down on loose ground where one wheel would spin, and Freesky rates the bike to carry 400 lb (181 kg) of rider and gear.
It is not built for a commute, a bike lane or a third-floor apartment. If your riding is on roads and paths, our guide to 500 W, 750 W and 1,000 W e-bikes explains where the provincial lines fall.
Takeaway: buy the Warrior Ultra for private land and permitted trails, heavy loads and rough ground; skip it if most of your riding is on public roads, paths or bike lanes.
What does Freesky print for the Warrior Ultra?
Freesky's Canadian page prints two 3,000 W peak hub motors with 130 N·m each, a 60 V 30 Ah LG pack (1,800 Wh), 45 MPH on pedal assist, a 400 lb load and 97 lb of bike. The table quotes Freesky's own wording where it gives one, read on 28 October 2026, with metric conversions in the last column.
| Item | Freesky Canada prints (28 October 2026) | What that means |
|---|---|---|
| Motors | "3000W + 3000W Brushless Peak Motors" | 6,000 W peak together; no rated (continuous) figure printed |
| Torque | "130N·m*2" | 260 N·m together |
| Battery | "60V 30Ah LG Cell Lithium Battery, IPX7" | 1,800 Wh (Freesky: "1800WH") |
| Top speed | "TOP SPEED (PAS) 45 MPH" | 72 km/h on pedal assist |
| Range | "60-120 miles on a single motor or 40-60 miles on dual motors" | 97–193 km on one motor; 64–97 km on two |
| Load | "LOAD CAPACITY 400 LBS" | 181 kg |
| Weight | "E-BIKE WEIGHT 97 LBS" | 44.0 kg |
| Tires and wheel | 26 × 4 inch fat tires; a 29.3 inch wheel diameter (Freesky's geometry table) | 74 cm wheel |
| Brakes | "180MM 4-piston Hydraulic Brakes" | 180 mm rotors |
| Suspension | "120 mm Oil-Sprung Front Fork"; "180 mm Rear Shock" | Full suspension |
| Drive and controls | "SHIMANO 7 Speed"; "Thumb Throttle"; "Cadence Sensor"; pedal assist "0~5 level" | Rear-wheel drive or both motors, switchable |
| Charger | "US Standard 3A Smart Charger"; "fully recharged in just 10 hours" | About 180 W average |
| Frame and seat post | "Upgraded 6061 Aluminum"; "30.9*220MM Alloy Seat Post" | Aluminum frame |

What Freesky does not print
Three figures buyers ask about are missing from every Freesky source we read on 28 October 2026. There is no rated motor power: the "6000W" is peak only, and RedTail found no rated figure for any bike Freesky makes when it checked every product page, Freesky's product feed and all seven of its manuals in August. There is no battery weight and no towing limit.
Two safety lines come from the manual Freesky links for this bike, and they give two different windows. Its safety list puts the equipment's limits for use and storage at −20 °C and 45 °C; its battery section says the battery "is intended to be used, stored and charged when the ambient temperature is between" 0 °C and 40 °C. For a Canadian winter, plan on the battery's 0 °C line: it is the narrower of the two, and it is written for the battery itself.
Takeaway: the pack, weight, load and brake figures read the same on Freesky's Canadian and US pages; 6,000 W is a burst with no rated figure behind it, and winter riding should be planned around the battery's 0 °C line.
How far does the Warrior Ultra go on one charge?
In our model, a 90 kg rider on the throttle alone gets about 116 km at 32 km/h on both motors and 152 km at 25 km/h from the full 1,800 Wh pack, on flat pavement at 25 °C. Keep a fifth in reserve and plan on 93 and 122 km. In the same model, Freesky's 193 km needs a steady 18 km/h.
Every figure here comes from the range model RedTail eBikes built for the Warrior Pro, the same M-530 frame on a 48 V pack. We imported it unchanged; before we gave it the Ultra's inputs, it reproduced all 15 of the throttle-only figures RedTail publishes for the Pro. The physics is set out on RedTail's range-formula section: wheel power from Martin and colleagues' validated cycling model, fat-tire rolling resistance measured on a drum, measured rider drag, a comparable hub motor's published curve, and LG cell energy by temperature.
| Speed | Rear motor | Both motors | Both, 20% kept |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 km/h | 181 km | 182 km | 146 km |
| 25 km/h | 148 km | 152 km | 122 km |
| 32 km/h | 111 km | 116 km | 93 km |
| 40 km/h | 80 km | 86 km | 69 km |
| 50 km/h | not held | 59 km | 48 km |
Steady speed on flat pavement, 90 kg rider and gear, 25 °C, no wind, full 1,800 Wh pack, throttle only. "Not held" means the comparable motor cannot hold that speed on one motor at its rated power.
Pedalling stretches every figure: a steady 100 W from your legs takes the 32 km/h ride on both motors from 116 to about 156 km in the model. The throttle-only figures are the ones to plan on.
Running both motors costs no extra energy at a given speed in this model, and at higher speeds it saves a little: splitting the work keeps each motor in a more efficient part of its curve. Freesky says the same ("Engage both motors for smoother rides, reduced motor strain, and enhanced energy efficiency"). In our model, its lower dual-motor figure (64–97 km) matches a steady 36 to 47 km/h, so it reads as faster riding; at the same speed, the second motor costs nothing extra.
What Freesky's range claim asks of you
| Freesky prints | In kilometres | Steady speed that reaches it (our model) |
|---|---|---|
| 60 miles, one motor | 97 km | 35 km/h |
| 120 miles, one motor | 193 km | 18 km/h |
| 40 miles, both motors | 64 km | 47 km/h |
| 60 miles, both motors | 97 km | 36 km/h |
90 kg rider and gear, flat pavement, 25 °C, no wind, throttle only, full pack. Freesky gives no speed, weight, ground or temperature for its figures.
The arithmetic, one ride worked through
Take 25 km/h (6.94 m/s) on both motors with a 90 kg rider: 134.0 kg moving with the bike. Rolling resistance costs 96.2 W (the fat-tire median, Crr 0.01054) and air 119.5 W (drag area 0.603 m², air density 1.184 kg/m³), so the wheels need 215.7 W. Each motor turns out 5.8 N·m at 6.1 A; the motors turn 75% of their input into wheel power, drawing 287.4 W from the pack, and the pack passes on 97.0% of the cells' energy, so the cells give up 296.3 W, or 11.85 Wh per kilometre. 1,800 Wh ÷ 11.85 = 152 km; keep 20% back and plan on 122 km.
Rider weight, hills, ground and wind
| Rider and gear | Both motors at 25 km/h | Rear motor only |
|---|---|---|
| 70 kg (154 lb) | 162 km | 160 km |
| 90 kg (198 lb) | 152 km | 148 km |
| 113 kg (250 lb) | 141 km | 136 km |
| 136 kg (300 lb) | 132 km | 126 km |
| 181 kg (400 lb) | 117 km | 109 km |
Flat pavement, 25 °C, full pack. 181 kg is Freesky's full 400 lb load.
| Grade at 20 km/h | Both motors | Rear motor only |
|---|---|---|
| 0% | 9.9 Wh/km | 9.9 Wh/km |
| 3% | 26.6 Wh/km | 31.6 Wh/km |
| 6% | 48.0 Wh/km | 62.6 Wh/km |
| 10% | 84.6 Wh/km | 122.6 Wh/km |
| 15% | 148.3 Wh/km | not held |
90 kg rider, 25 °C. At 10 km/h the comparable motors hold up to a 38.1% grade on both motors and 17.4% on one, on torque alone; tire grip, which the model leaves out, gives out first on loose ground.
| Condition at 25 km/h, both motors | Range |
|---|---|
| Pavement, the fat-tire median (used above) | 152 km |
| Fine gravel (1.20 × the pavement resistance) | 140 km |
| Coarse gravel (1.50 ×) | 125 km |
| A 15 km/h headwind, pavement | 80 km |
| The lowest-rolling of ten fat tires on the drum | 177 km |
| A Kenda Juggernaut Pro, the slowest-rolling | 140 km |
Gravel ratios from Meyer, Kloss and Senner (2016), measured on one four-wheeled electric bicycle; no fat-tire gravel measurement was found, so read them as a guide to the spread.
Takeaway: keep a fifth of the pack in reserve and plan on 93 km at 32 km/h and 122 km at 25 km/h in our model on flat summer pavement, and less into wind, on soft ground or with a heavy load.
Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530
$2,999 CAD60 V and 1,800 Wh on two driven wheels: about 116 km at 32 km/h in our model, 400 lb of load, full suspension and 4-piston hydraulic brakes. For private land and permitted trails.

What does Canadian cold do to the Warrior Ultra's range?
Cold cuts the pack's usable energy and thickens the air. At 25 km/h on both motors, the model gives about 130 km at 10 °C, 120 km at 0 °C and 109 km at −10 °C. Below 0 °C you are outside the battery window in Freesky's manual, and the sources disagree on how much energy a cold cell gives.
| Air temperature | Both motors, 25 km/h | Both motors, 32 km/h | Range across cold-cell sources, 25 km/h | Battery window in Freesky's manual (0 to 40 °C) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25 °C | 152 km | 116 km | not bracketed | inside |
| 10 °C | 130 km | 100 km | not bracketed | inside |
| 0 °C | 120 km | 92 km | 108–126 km | inside |
| −10 °C | 109 km | 83 km | 53–109 km | below it |
| −20 °C | 86 km | 65 km | 43–105 km | below it |
90 kg rider, flat pavement, no wind, full pack. Freesky's manual sets the battery window at 0 to 40 °C and the equipment line at −20 °C; "not bracketed" means the cold-cell sources start at 0 °C. The central figure uses McMaster University's LG HG2 cell measurements; the range column spans the cold-cell sources RedTail read for its cold-weather range figures. Below +5 °C the model holds tire resistance at its +5 °C value, so real winter figures run lower.
Snow is a different problem from cold. RedTail's fat-tire comparison quotes a winter-cycleway study by Fenre and Klein-Paste (2021) that found "Rolling resistance coefficients (Crr) higher than 0.025 noticeably reduce cycling comfort". In our model, at that resistance and 20 km/h, both motors give about 90 km at 0 °C and 82 km at −10 °C, below the battery window; deep or wet snow costs more. Our battery guide covers winter storage, and our winter e-bike guide compares bikes built for it.
Takeaway: plan winter riding inside the manual's 0 to 40 °C battery window, where the model gives about 120 km at 25 km/h at 0 °C on flat pavement before any reserve; below 0 °C you ride outside it, and at −10 °C the cold-cell sources put the same ride between 53 and 109 km. Charge the pack indoors between 0 °C and 40 °C and store it between 10 °C and 25 °C, as the manual asks.
Will the Freesky Warrior Ultra fit you?
Freesky prints a 5′5″ to 6′8″ rider window and a 27″ to 35″ inseam, but its listed seat height (35″ to 40″) and the seat height on its own drawing disagree, and the difference decides who fits. On the listed post, the saddle fits at least 8 in 10 measured adults from 5′1″, the shortest height measured, to 5′7″; on the drawing's taller post, from 5′9″ to 6′1″. At 5′8″ neither reading reaches 8 in 10 (63 and 74 in 100), and from 6′3″ up fewer than half fit on either, well short of Freesky's 6′8″.
These shares come from RedTail's fit run for the M-530 frame: 6,068 adults measured in the US Army's ANSUR II survey, each placed on the bike with a saddle height of 109% of inseam, the long-standing Hamley rule. Freesky prints the same geometry for the Ultra and the Pro, so the frame result carries over. RedTail measured Freesky's drawing and found its seat heights higher than the listed figures; its fit-formula section gives the method.
| Height | Listed seat | Drawing's seat |
|---|---|---|
| 5′1″ (155 cm) 145 measured |
84 in 100 | 0 in 100 |
| 5′2″ (157 cm) 245 measured |
93 in 100 | 1 in 100 |
| 5′3″ (160 cm) 343 measured |
99 in 100 | 2 in 100 |
| 5′4″ (163 cm) 413 measured |
100 in 100 | 6 in 100 |
| 5′5″ (165 cm) 466 measured |
97 in 100 | 15 in 100 |
| 5′6″ (168 cm) 591 measured |
89 in 100 | 32 in 100 |
| 5′7″ (170 cm) 545 measured |
81 in 100 | 52 in 100 |
| 5′8″ (173 cm) 660 measured |
63 in 100 | 74 in 100 |
| 5′9″ (175 cm) 669 measured |
45 in 100 | 88 in 100 |
| 5′10″ (178 cm) 602 measured |
21 in 100 | 95 in 100 |
| 5′11″ (180 cm) 472 measured |
6 in 100 | 98 in 100 |
| 6′0″ (183 cm) 332 measured |
4 in 100 | 94 in 100 |
| 6′1″ (185 cm) 212 measured |
1 in 100 | 82 in 100 |
| 6′2″ (188 cm) 108 measured |
0 in 100 | 65 in 100 |
| 6′3″ (190 cm) 56 measured |
0 in 100 | 46 in 100 |
| 6′4″ (193 cm) 35 measured |
0 in 100 | 9 in 100 |
Each "in 100" figure is the share of measured adults at that height whose saddle fits on the seat height Freesky lists (35 to 40 in) or on the taller one its drawing shows (39.1 to 43.6 in); the 6′4″ row rests on 35 adults. ANSUR II measures US Army personnel aged 17 to 58 (2010 to 2012), not the Canadian public. "Saddle fits" means the seat can be set to a 109% saddle height for that rider: for shorter riders the limit is the seat's lowest setting, for taller riders its highest. A taller rider whose seat tops out below 109% still rides, with more bend at the knee.
By inseam, the listed post suits about 72 to 84 cm (28.2 to 33.0 in) and the drawing's post about 82 to 93 cm (32.1 to 36.5 in). The 27.1 in (69 cm) standover clears at least 99 in 100 measured adults at every height in the table, as RedTail's standover table shows.
Takeaway: measure your inseam before you order: about 72 to 84 cm suits the seat height Freesky lists, 82 to 93 cm the taller one on its drawing, and 82 to 84 cm suits both; we can talk it through before you buy.
Is the Freesky Warrior Ultra street legal in Canada?
No. Every province that defines an e-bike stops at 500 W and, where it sets a speed, at 32 km/h; Freesky prints a 45 MPH (72 km/h) pedal-assist top speed and two 3,000 W peak motors with no rated power. On roads, bike lanes and paths, it is not an e-bike anywhere in Canada.
| Jurisdiction | What the law says (read 28 October 2026) | The Warrior Ultra |
|---|---|---|
| Federal | Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations, s. 2: the power-assisted bicycle definition reads "Repealed, SOR/2020-22, s. 3", effective February 4, 2021. | No federal e-bike definition applies to any bike. |
| Ontario | Highway Traffic Act s. 1(1) points at the "power-assisted bicycle as defined in subsection 2 (1) of the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations", the federal text repealed in 2021; ontario.ca says it is "illegal to modify your e-bike" (Riding an e-bike). | Outside the referenced definition: Freesky prints 72 km/h. |
| Québec | SAAQ: "maximum power rating of no more than 500 watts" (SAAQ); its FAQ: "A power-assisted bicycle must have a maximum power rating of no more than 500 watts and a maximum speed of 32 km/h or less to be authorized for use on a public roadway" (SAAQ FAQ). | Outside on speed; the SAAQ says a bicycle with a 1,000-watt motor "is not authorized for use on a public road, including roadways and bike paths". |
| British Columbia | B.C. Reg. 64/2024 s. 3: motors with "a continuous power output rating that, in total, does not exceed 500 W"; s. 3(2)(a): "the motors must not be capable of propelling the device at a speed exceeding 32 km/h". | Outside on speed. |
| Alberta | AR 304/2002 s. 1(1)(o): a "power-assisted bicycle under the Motor Vehicle Safety Regulations (Canada)", the federal definition repealed in 2021. | Outside the referenced definition. Our Alberta e-bike law page explains the reference. |
| Saskatchewan | Registration Exemption and Reciprocity Regulations, 2014 s. 2(1)(f): "a total continuous power output rating of 500 watts or less when measured at the shaft of each motor"; s. 2(1)(f)(v)(D): "further power assistance cannot be provided when the bicycle attains a speed of 32 kilometres per hour when operated on level ground"; SGI: e-bikes "larger than 500 watts or without pedals are considered motorcycles" (SGI). | Outside on speed; SGI treats e-bikes over 500 watts as motorcycles. |
| Manitoba | Highway Traffic Act s. 1(1): a motor with a "continuous power output rating, measured at its shaft, of 500 W or less" that "cannot provide the vehicle with motive power when it is travelling at more than 32 km/h". | Outside on speed. |
| Nova Scotia | N.S. Reg. 221/2026 s. 3: "a total continuous nominal power output rating, measured at the shaft of each motor, of 500 W or less", with no assistance once the bicycle "reaches a speed of 32 km/h on level ground". | Outside on speed. |
| New Brunswick | No e-bike definition in the Motor Vehicle Act; Service New Brunswick says a vehicle with a motor "equal to or less than 500W" that cannot assist past 32 km/h "can be considered a bicycle", and one with a motor "greater than 500 watts" that can power past 32 km/h without a CMVSS label "cannot be registered" unless an engineer certifies it (GNB). | Not a bicycle on that guidance. |
| Prince Edward Island | Power-Assisted Bicycles Regulations: motors with "continuous power output ratings that in total do not exceed 500 watts", and none "capable of propelling the power-assisted bicycle at a speed greater than 32 kilometres per hour on level ground". | Outside on speed. |
| Newfoundland and Labrador | The Highway Traffic Act has no e-bike definition: a vehicle "propelled, driven or controlled otherwise than by muscular power" is a motor vehicle, and a moped has "a power source that produces a maximum 1.5 k.w", a speed "not exceeding 50 kilometres an hour" and "a maximum weight of 55 kilograms". | Two readings. As written, a motor vehicle: its 72 km/h and 6,000 W peak are past the moped limits. Read the other way, the province "currently follows federal standards" (CBC News), the definition repealed in 2021. |
| Yukon | Motor Vehicles Act s. 1, electric power-assisted cycle: "500 W or less in total for the motor or combination of motors", with a motor "incapable of providing further assistance when the vehicle attains a speed of 32 km/h on level ground". | Outside on speed. |
| Northwest Territories | The All-terrain Vehicles Act counts a "pedal bicycle with motor attachment" among all-terrain vehicles; the Motor Vehicles Act defines a bicycle as "a cycle having any number of wheels that is propelled by human power". | An all-terrain vehicle by that Act's list. |
| Nunavut | The All-terrain Vehicles Act counts "a pedal bicycle with motor attachment"; the Traffic Safety Act defines a bicycle as propelled by "human muscular power" and a moped whose motor cannot let it "attain a speed greater than 70 kilometres per hour". | An all-terrain vehicle by that list; Freesky's 72 km/h is past the moped line. Ask the territory before riding near a road. |
Quotations are from each province's statute, regulation or regulator page, saved on the day they were read. A province's page can change; follow the link before you ride.
That leaves private land, with the owner's permission, and trails where the land manager allows motorised vehicles. Rules for those trails are set park by park and club by club, so ask before you ride. Ontario also says it is "illegal to modify your e-bike", and we do not sell or fit anything that raises this bike's speed. Our Canadian e-bike law guide links each province's full page, including Ontario, Québec and British Columbia.
Takeaway: ride the Warrior Ultra where you have permission off public roads; for roads and bike lanes, choose a bike that meets your province's e-bike rule.
Is the Warrior Ultra UL certified, and has it been recalled?
Freesky's page shows a "UL2849 Certified by TÜV" badge and its FAQ says "All FREESKY e-bikes are certified with both UL 2271 and UL 2849", but the two TÜV SÜD certificates Freesky publishes rate a 47.19-volt system and pack, and the Ultra runs 60 volts. No recall in Health Canada's, the US CPSC's, the UK's or the EU's records names Freesky; the UK and EU records do carry a 2026 border rejection of a FREESKY-branded 540E, a different model.
| Document | What it covers | Where Freesky links it |
|---|---|---|
| TÜV SÜD certificate U14 128702 0008 Rev. 00 | UL 2849:2020/R:2022-12 and CAN/UL 2849:2022, the whole electrical system; models "M-530, M-540, M-410, A-340"; "Rated voltage: 47,19VDC", charger output "54,6VDC, 3,0A"; dated 2025-07-31 | The Warrior Ultra's page, behind the "UL2849 Certified by TÜV" badge |
| TÜV SÜD certificate U10 128702 0001 Rev. 00 | UL 2271:2018 and CAN/UL 2271:2018, the battery; model FP4830R0, "Nominal voltage 47.19Vd.c.", "Rated capacity 29.4Ah"; dated 2025-03-17 | The Warrior Pro's page only |
Both certificates name GuangZhou Yansan Science & Technology Co., Ltd as the holder. Read 28 October 2026.
The certificate behind the Ultra's badge names the M-530, but its stated ratings describe a 48-volt system, and no certificate Freesky links describes a 60-volt pack. RedTail reached the same finding in August, and our own listing says so. If certification matters to your purchase, call us before you order and we will ask Freesky for the certificate that covers the 60 V pack.
On recalls, Health Canada's recall search returned "No results found." for freesky, "m-530" and "yansan" on 28 October 2026, while a control search for "electric bicycle" returned results. The US CPSC's recall database returned no record naming Freesky, the Warrior Ultra or Yansan on its title, product-name and description fields, while a control brand returned its recall. RedTail's Freesky brand review also read the CPSC's product safety warning listing, 375 rows, on 13 October 2026, and "the listing carries no Freesky entry".
| Register (read) | Searched for | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Health Canada recalls and safety alerts (28 October 2026) | "freesky", "m-530" and "yansan", archive included; control: "electric bicycle" | "No results found." for each; the control returned results |
| US CPSC recall database (28 October 2026) | Freesky, Warrior Ultra and Yansan in titles, product names and descriptions; control: a brand with a known recall | No record names them; the control returned its recall |
| UK product safety alerts, reports and recalls (29 October 2026) | "freesky", "yansan", "warrior ultra" and "m-530"; control: "e-bike", 171 records | One record: report 2609-0013, a FREESKY 540E (Ranger) import rejected at the border, 4 September 2026; none for the other terms |
| EU Safety Gate (29 October 2026) | "freesky", "yansan", "electroy" and "warrior ultra"; control: "e-bike", 25 alerts | One alert: SR/02811/26, the same 540E rejection, 6 October 2026; none for the other terms |
| Australia, productsafety.gov.au (29 October 2026) | "freesky" | Not searched: the site answered our research browser with HTTP 403, "Access Denied" |
Each search ran beside a control that had to return results; a search that could not run is reported as not searched, never as none.
Two registers outside North America name Freesky, though not this bike. The UK's Office for Product Safety and Standards report 2609-0013 (published 4 September 2026, read 29 October 2026) covers a "FREESKY Electric Bicycle 540E", listed as "M-540E(RANGER) - BLACK": "The import has been rejected at the border", because "the supplied Declaration of Conformity did not match the product".
The report describes the bike as "presenting a serious risk of fire" (risk level: serious): without that evidence, "it may be possible for it to overheat and catch fire". It names the manufacturer as Guangzhou Electroy Corporation. The EU's Safety Gate alert SR/02811/26 (6 October 2026, notified for Northern Ireland) records the same rejection. Neither record is a recall, and neither names the Warrior M-530.
Takeaway: no recall at Health Canada, the US CPSC, the UK or the EU names Freesky. Two findings to weigh: no certificate Freesky links covers the Ultra's 60 V pack (we will request one for you before you order), and in 2026 the UK rejected an import of a different Freesky model, the 540E, at its border, describing it as "presenting a serious risk of fire" because its conformity papers did not match it.
How does the Warrior Ultra compare with the Warrior Pro, Eurostar Turbo and Tesway X9 Ultra?
The Warrior Ultra and the Tesway X9 Ultra are the two 60-volt, 1,800 Wh bikes here, both $2,999 at Zeus. The Warrior Pro is the same Freesky frame at 48 volts for $2,899, and the Eurostar Turbo is Freesky's lower-priced two-motor bike at $2,099. Each maker's figures below were read on 28 October 2026.
| Bike | At Zeus | Peak motors | Rated power | Torque | Pack | Top speed (maker) | Range (maker) | Range computed | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Freesky Warrior Ultra | $2,999 ($3,149 Camo) | 3,000 + 3,000 W | None printed | 260 N·m | 60 V 30 Ah, 1,800 Wh | 45 MPH (72 km/h) | 60–120 mi on one motor; 40–60 mi on two | About 118 km (73 mi), this review's model | 44.0 kg (97 lb) |
| Freesky Warrior Pro | $2,899 | 2,000 + 2,000 W | None printed | 240 N·m | 48 V 30 Ah, 1,440 Wh | 40 MPH (64 km/h) | 60–120 mi | 93 km (58 mi), RedTail | 44.0 kg (97 lb) |
| Freesky Eurostar Turbo | $2,099 | 2,000 + 2,000 W | None printed | 210 N·m | 48 V 25 Ah, 1,200 Wh | 34 MPH (55 km/h) | 60–105 mi | 79 km (49 mi), RedTail | 44.9 kg (99 lb) |
| Tesway X9 Ultra | $2,999 | 2,000 + 2,000 W | 1,200 + 1,200 W | 240 N·m | 60 V 30 Ah, 1,800 Wh | 69 km/h (70 elsewhere on its page) | 80–113 km on one motor; 113–161 km on two | 108 km (67 mi), RedTail | 53 kg |
The (maker) columns give each maker's own wording and units, from Freesky Canada's and Tesway Canada's pages, read 28 October 2026. All four carry about 180 kg (Freesky prints 400 lb, 181 kg; Tesway 180 kg). Computed range, one condition: an 82 kg (180 lb) rider at 32 km/h (20 mph) on both motors, flat pavement, 25 °C. The Pro, Eurostar Turbo and X9 Ultra figures come from RedTail's published models; the Ultra's comes from this review's model (RedTail's Warrior Pro model, unchanged), which gives 116 km for the 90 kg rider used elsewhere here.
Freesky Warrior Pro M-530
$2,899 CADThe same frame, geometry, brakes and load on a 48 V, 1,440 Wh pack with two 2,000 W peak motors. On sale since November 2024, as RedTail notes, against August 2026 for the Ultra.
Freesky Eurostar Turbo M-410
$2,099 CADTwo 2,000 W peak motors on a 48 V 25 Ah pack (1,200 Wh) for $2,099: the lowest price of the four, and the smallest pack (1,200 Wh, against 1,440 Wh on the Pro and 1,800 Wh on the Ultra and the X9 Ultra).
Tesway X9 Ultra
$2,999 CAD60 V, 30 Ah and two motors at the same $2,999, with a rated power printed (1,200 W per motor) and a 180 kg payload. Our X9 Ultra review computes its range the same way.
Our dual-motor e-bike guide sets these beside the rest of our two-motor shelf, and our Freesky brand profile covers the whole Freesky line.
Takeaway: choose the Ultra for the most pack and power on Freesky's M-530 frame, the Pro to save on the platform that has been on sale longer, the Eurostar Turbo on a tighter budget, and the X9 Ultra if a printed rated power matters to you.
Not sure which of the four suits you?
Tell us where you ride, what you carry and how tall you are. We sell all four, so we will point you to the one that fits, even if it is not the Ultra.
What add-ons does Freesky offer for the Warrior Ultra?
Freesky's Canadian page offers seven add-ons with the Warrior Ultra, and every one is available through us: call 1-866-938-7580 for the price. The bike already ships with a rear rack and front and rear mudguards. Freesky lists no spare battery for the Ultra on 28 October 2026.
- Cycling Package (4-Piece Kit): a bottle holder, a lock, a rear-view mirror and a phone mount.
- Foldable Platform.
- Bike Fishing Rod Holders (A Pair).
- Front Basket: listed as a pre-order.
- Smart Tag, E-Bike Anti-Theft Tracker (4-Pack).
- Side Surfboard Rack.
- CRAVOT CyberRack E2 Hitch Bike Rack: for carrying the bike on a vehicle; check any rack's rated load against the bike's 44 kg.
On batteries, Freesky's Extra Battery Pack listing names packs for other models, none for the Ultra, and says a battery "must be purchased based on the specific model and serial number of your vehicle". Plan your riding on the one 1,800 Wh pack.

Who should buy the Warrior Ultra, and who should skip it?
Buy it if you ride private land or permitted trails, carry heavy loads, and want the most pack and power Freesky puts on its M-530 frame. Skip it if you need roads or paths, store your bike up stairs, or have an inseam outside about 72 to 93 cm, the span the two seat figures cover. The ledger below sets out both sides.
| What it does well | What to plan around |
|---|---|
| A 60 V, 1,800 Wh pack: about 116 km at 32 km/h in our model | 44.0 kg: a two-person lift; carry it on a hitch rack |
| Two driven wheels for loose ground, switchable to rear-wheel drive | 72 km/h printed: outside every provincial e-bike rule |
| 400 lb (181 kg) of load | No rated power printed, and no certificate for the 60 V pack |
| Full suspension: 120 mm oil-sprung fork, 180 mm rear shock | Two seat-height figures from Freesky: measure your inseam first |
| 4-piston hydraulic brakes on 180 mm rotors | The manual's battery window starts at 0 °C |
| Manual and certificates published by Freesky | No spare battery on Freesky's Canadian store |
Consider it if you are roughly 5′1″ to 6′1″ (which end depends on which of Freesky's two seat heights your bike has), ride off public roads with permission, carry real loads and want two-wheel traction: in our model it covers 116 km at 32 km/h on flat summer pavement and about 120 km at 25 km/h at 0 °C, the bottom of the battery window in Freesky's manual.
Skip it if you commute on roads, paths or bike lanes, need to carry the bike up stairs, or want a certificate for the 60 V pack in hand before you buy.
That verdict is our opinion, formed from the facts above, and the facts are printed so you can reach your own.

Freesky Warrior Ultra questions, answered
Is the Freesky Warrior Ultra worth buying?
For the right rider, yes, in our view. It pairs a 60 V, 1,800 Wh pack with two hub motors and full suspension for $2,999; in our model, that pack covers about 116 km at 32 km/h on flat pavement. It is outside every provincial e-bike rule, so it suits private land and permitted trails; it does not suit roads, bike lanes or paths.
How fast is the Freesky Warrior Ultra?
Freesky prints a top speed of 45 MPH (72 km/h) on pedal assist. Our range model, built on a comparable motor's rated power, holds no steady speed above 60 km/h on both motors with a 90 kg rider; Freesky's 6,000 W is a peak figure for short bursts. Every provincial e-bike definition stops assistance at 32 km/h or less.
How far does the Freesky Warrior Ultra go on one charge?
In our model, about 116 km at 32 km/h and 152 km at 25 km/h on both motors, for a 90 kg rider on the throttle, on flat pavement at 25 °C with the full 1,800 Wh pack; keep a fifth in reserve and plan on 93 and 122 km. At 0 °C, the bottom of the battery window in Freesky's manual, the same 25 km/h ride gives about 120 km; at −10 °C, below that window, the cold-cell sources put it between 53 and 109 km. Freesky's "60-120 miles" (97–193 km) on one motor needs a steady 18 km/h at the top end in our model.
How much does the Freesky Warrior Ultra weigh?
Freesky prints 97 lb (44.0 kg). Plan on two people to lift it, and on a hitch rack: check the rack's rated load against the bike before you buy one. The bike carries a further 400 lb (181 kg) of rider and cargo on Freesky's figure.
How much does the Warrior Ultra battery weigh?
Freesky does not publish it. We read its Canadian and US product pages with every panel open, its product record and the manual it links, on 28 October 2026, and none gives the battery's weight. Freesky does print the pack itself: 60 V, 30 Ah, LG cells, rated IPX7.
What is the difference between the Freesky Warrior Ultra and the Warrior Pro?
The Ultra runs 60 V and two 3,000 W peak motors (260 N·m); the Warrior Pro M-530 runs 48 V and two 2,000 W peak motors (240 N·m). The Ultra's pack holds 1,800 Wh against the Pro's 1,440 Wh, and Freesky prints 45 MPH against 40. Freesky prints the same frame, weight, load, geometry and brakes for both. At Zeus the Ultra is $2,999 and the Pro $2,899.
Freesky Warrior Ultra or Tesway X9 Ultra?
Both are 60 V, 30 Ah, two-motor fat-tire bikes, and both are $2,999 at Zeus. Tesway prints a rated power for the X9 Ultra (1,200 W per motor) and Freesky prints none for the Warrior; the Warrior is lighter on paper (97 lb, 44.0 kg, against 53 kg) and Freesky prints a higher top speed. Our Tesway X9 Ultra review computes the X9's range the same way.
Is the Freesky Warrior Ultra street legal in Canada?
No. Every province that defines an e-bike stops at 500 W and, where it sets a speed, at 32 km/h; Freesky prints 72 km/h and no rated power. So no province lets it ride roads, bike lanes or paths as an e-bike. Ride it on private land with the owner's permission, or on trails where the land manager permits motorised vehicles, and read our e-bike law guide for your province.
Is the Warrior Ultra really 6,000 watts?
6,000 W is Freesky's peak figure for both motors together ("3000W + 3000W Brushless Peak Motors"). Peak is a short burst; rated power is what a motor holds, and the law is written around rated power. Freesky publishes no rated figure for this bike, and our US sister store, RedTail eBikes, found none for any bike Freesky makes.
Does the Freesky Warrior Ultra have a throttle?
Yes: Freesky prints a thumb throttle, 0 to 5 levels of pedal assist and a cadence sensor, which starts the motors when the cranks turn rather than measuring how hard you push. You can switch between rear-wheel drive and both motors.
How long does the Warrior Ultra battery take to charge?
Freesky says the pack is "fully recharged in just 10 hours" with its "US Standard 3A Smart Charger", which averages about 180 W into an 1,800 Wh pack. Its manual says to charge only between 0 °C and 40 °C, so in a Canadian winter, bring the battery indoors to charge.
Can I buy a spare battery for the Warrior Ultra?
Not from Freesky's Canadian store on 28 October 2026. Its Extra Battery Pack listing names packs for the Warrior Pro, the older Warrior and other models, none for the Warrior Ultra, and says a battery "must be purchased based on the specific model and serial number of your vehicle". Call us with your serial number and we will ask for you.
What accessories does Freesky offer for the Warrior Ultra?
Freesky's Canadian page lists a four-piece cycling package (bottle holder, lock, rear-view mirror and phone mount), a foldable platform, fishing rod holders, a front basket (pre-order), a four-pack of Smart Tag trackers, a side surfboard rack and a CRAVOT CyberRack E2 hitch rack. The bike ships with a rear rack and front and rear mudguards. Every add-on is available through us: call 1-866-938-7580.
How much can the Warrior Ultra tow?
Freesky publishes no towing limit for it. Its Canadian page lists no trailer for the Warrior Ultra, and its US page lists a pre-order cargo trailer without a towing figure. The 400 lb (181 kg) load Freesky prints is for what the bike carries; ask us before you hitch anything to it.
Is the Freesky Warrior Ultra good for hunting?
It suits hunting on private land and on trails that permit motorised vehicles. Two driven wheels, 26 × 4 inch tires and the 400 lb load cover gear and rough ground. Its 97 lb weight and the 0 °C floor on the battery's use window in Freesky's manual are the limits to plan around. Our hunting e-bike guide compares it with other picks.
Is Freesky a good e-bike brand?
On the records we checked, no recall at Health Canada, the US Consumer Product Safety Commission, the UK or the EU names Freesky; it publishes a manual and two TÜV SÜD certificates, and it gives 24 months of warranty on the motor, battery and controller. Two points to weigh: its certificates rate a 48 V system while the Ultra runs 60 V, and in 2026 the UK rejected an import of a different Freesky model, the 540E, at the border because its Declaration of Conformity did not match the bike, describing it as "presenting a serious risk of fire" without that evidence.
Where are Freesky e-bikes made?
Freesky's certificates name the holder as GuangZhou Yansan Science & Technology Co., Ltd, at an address in Guangzhou, China, and the manual it links names "YANSAN Technology Co., LTD". Neither document says where each bike is assembled.
What is Freesky's warranty, and how do I make a claim?
Freesky's Canadian policy gives 24 months on the motor, battery and controller and 12 months on other components for orders placed on or after November 13, 2025, for the original purchaser. Bought from us, those terms are backed by Freesky in full and we handle the claim: email support@zeusebikes.ca from your order email with photos or a short video, or call 1-866-938-7580.
Can you buy the Freesky Warrior Ultra in Canada?
Yes. We sell the Freesky Warrior Ultra M-530 at $2,999 in Black, Blue-gray and Green and $3,149 in Camouflage, with free shipping across Canada and our 15-day return policy on unused, unopened items, less a 15% restocking fee unless the return is our error.
The bottom line
The Warrior Ultra puts the biggest pack and the most power Freesky offers on its M-530 frame, with two driven wheels and a 400 lb load, for $2,999: about 116 km at 32 km/h on flat summer pavement in our model. It belongs on private land and permitted trails, and its 60 V pack needs its own certificate.
If it fits your ground and your inseam, it is a strong machine for the money. If you are unsure, call 1-866-938-7580 with where you ride and what you weigh, and we will tell you straight. You have 15 days from delivery to return it unused and unopened, less a 15% restocking fee, shipping is free across Canada, and financing is available.
Ready when you are
Free shipping across Canada, Freesky's warranty backed in full and handled by us, and a person on the phone before and after you buy.
