While the industry standard often stops at 750W, the true potential of electric mobility begins where the limits end. Our high-power category focuses on Class 4 and 'Off-Road Use Only' ebikes engineered for maximum torque and high-velocity output. We provide rigorous testing on motor heat management, battery discharge rates, and frame durability to help you find a high-output machine that is as safe as it is powerful.
The "20-inch Powerhouse."
The Wired Viper is the compact, step-through sibling to the legendary Wired Predator. While it shares the same high-performance DNA, the Viper utilizes a smaller wheel platform to achieve what Wired claims is the highest torque output of any Power Performance Bike (PPB) on the market. It is designed for riders who want elite-level power in a more accessible, maneuverable frame.
Key Performance Specs
- Powertrain: Dual-motor 72V All-Wheel Drive (AWD)
- Peak Power: 8000W
- Top Speed: 50+ MPH
- Torque: 430Nm (Combined)
- Battery: 72V Dual Battery System
- Price: $3,699 MSRP
The "Physics" of Power
The standout feature of the Viper is its 20-inch wheel platform. Because it uses the exact same motors, controllers, and 72V batteries as the larger Predator but pairs them with smaller wheels, it gains roughly 30% more effective torque at the ground. This results in explosive off-the-line acceleration, surgical low-speed control, and industry-leading hill-climbing capabilities.
Design & Build
Unlike many high-performance bikes that require a high stand-over height, the Viper features a step-through frame. This makes it a "confidence-inspiring" option for a wider range of rider heights without sacrificing the "brutality" of the AWD system. It is positioned not as a "mini" bike, but as a refined, more compact version of Predator-class power.
Important Considerations for Buyers
- Classification: Wired classifies this as a Power Performance Bike (PPB) rather than a traditional e-bike. Due to the 50+ MPH top speed and 8000W output, it exceeds standard Class 1, 2, or 3 e-bike regulations in many jurisdictions.
- Availability: Currently available for pre-order
- Support: Wired is an American-owned company headquartered in Mundelein, Illinois, providing U.S.-based customer support.
The Verdict (Pre-Review)
The Wired Viper is built for the "torque junkie." It’s a niche machine that prioritizes mechanical leverage and traction over all else. If you are looking for a step-through that can out-climb almost anything on two wheels and hits 50 MPH, the Viper stands alone in its category.
The Wired Warrior is a "Clark Kent" style power performance machine that packs a massive 72V system and an exclusive 5000W peak motor into a full-size, stable frame. While it looks like a premium fat-tire bicycle, our testing proved it is a high-speed monster capable of hitting a GPS-verified 52 mph and demolishing steep hills that would stall most competitors. It balances this raw, "unhinged" acceleration with expert-level safety features like 10-gauge spokes and a 56T chainring to prevent ghost pedaling, making it the definitive choice for riders who want elite e-moto performance without the legal profile of an electric dirt bike.
