Wired Viper is Absolutely INSANE!

Key Points

▶ 0:03 Headline specs: 8,000 W power, 56 mph top speed, 72 V system, and 430 Nm combined torque.
▶ 1:08 Power system consists of two Wired Hentec geared hub motors: rear delivers ~5,000 W, front adds a second motor, with dual controllers (65 A rear + 45 A front = 110 A total).
▶ 1:34 On a full charge, combined peak power output reaches 9,240 W — almost 10,000 W.
▶ 1:37 Peak power is nearly 10,000 W (9,240 W), with a 20-inch wheel design and a front/dual/rear motor selector shared with the Predator.
▶ 2:26 Front motor is 1,500 W nominal / ~3,000 W peak, while the rear motor is the main workhorse at 2,000 W nominal / 5,000 W peak; the bike uses proprietary front motor mounting and four-piston Gemma brakes with 203 mm rotors.
▶ 3:30 Full suspension uses a four-bar linkage, inverted dual crown fork with compression adjustment, and a DNM AO-8RC rear shock; the bike sits about 3 inches lower than the Predator and includes pedals, a Class 2 sticker, and a 56-tooth chainring.
▶ 5:24 The bike is very heavy: 118 lb without batteries, about 154 lb with both batteries, and the reviewer warns it's not meant to be lifted often.
▶ 5:51 Battery setup is high-capacity: two 72V packs (20Ah + 15Ah) for a combined 2,520 Wh, using Samsung 50S cells with UL 2271 certification, while the center of mass sits about 3 inches lower for better handling.
▶ 7:54 Display and controls include a familiar Wired display, turn signals, a front/rear motor selector switch (3/1/2), hydraulic brakes, and a menu with Class 2/3/unlimited modes, cadence/torque sensor options, and adjustable pedal-assist levels.
▶ 9:41 Pedal assist power can be adjusted separately for the front and rear motors, with an intuitive menu system for fine-tuning.
▶ 10:03 Throttle settings include independent motor enable/disable, throttle follow (tied to PAS or full power), and per-motor throttle percentage.
▶ 11:41 The bike ships with two 3.5A chargers for simultaneous charging; main battery takes ~5.5 hours and rear battery just over 4 hours.
▶ 12:00 The Viper is first tested in locked Class 2 mode (dual motor, mode 5, ~1,200W), where it feels tame, manageable, and can pedal along at ~20 mph.
▶ 13:11 Switching to “Unlimited” mode with 100% throttle and maximum start strength transforms the bike, delivering extreme acceleration; by ▶ 14:10 it’s called the fastest-accelerating dual-motor e-bike with pedals he’s ever tried.
▶ 15:41 In top-speed runs, the Viper hits 50 mph quickly even into a headwind, and reaches 52–53 mph upright on GPS—though the Predator still has a higher top speed, the Viper trades that for stronger acceleration.
▶ 17:26 The bike is "crazy fast" on high-speed roads, with acceleration that remains "insane" even when already going 30 mph.
▶ 17:40 For controlled takeoff, use motor setting three (rear motor only) to manage launch from the highest power setting, then switch to dual motor once rolling; the dedicated motor switch helps avoid front-motor spinout around corners.
▶ 18:12 In gear seven, pedaling reaches about 40 mph but with a very quick cadence, making throttle more practical; keeping up with traffic is no problem and cornering feels nimble.
▶ 19:05 Front dual-crown inverted fork and rear DNM air shock give a soft, pleasant ride, but it's a comfortable feel rather than a precise performance setup.
▶ 19:25 Large geared hub motors add significant unsprung mass in the wheels, so the bike is not recommended for jumps.
▶ 19:44 Additional weight from the rear-rack battery and overall concentration of mass in the wheels/rear make the bike feel heavy during casual off-road riding.
▶ 20:03 Throttle Follow can be set Off for full throttle power regardless of pedal-assist level, or On to match the throttle's power to the selected pedal-assist level.
▶ 20:52 Pedal-assist percentages are adjustable; the host lowers PAS 1 to about 5% on both motors so pedaling gives minimal power and avoids surprises.
▶ 21:18 His preferred setup is low pedal-assist plus single motor mode, describing it as "the way to roll" for a controlled, predictable ride.
▶ 21:53 Switching to torque sensor mode makes pedal-assist power proportional to how hard you press the pedals, and it does not affect the throttle.
▶ 22:00 The torque tuning setting (default 5, adjustable 1–9) changes sensitivity; raising it to 9 makes the system much more responsive and easier to use.
▶ 22:23 In torque sensor mode, pedal-assist level 1 delivers only about 80W, so higher sensitivity is needed for a smoother, more manageable ride.
▶ 23:08 Handling is much easier with sensitivity dialed up to nine, significantly improving control and responsiveness.
▶ 23:12 After 6.5 miles at an average of 15 mph, the battery still shows 93%, indicating efficient energy use.
▶ 23:24 The rider highlights the bike's aggressive acceleration, calling it "silly fast."
▶ 23:34 Rider's preferred setup uses cadence sensor with pedal assist on level 1 for gentle pedaling.
▶ 23:34 Full power remains available through the throttle for instant acceleration despite low assist.
▶ 23:34 Default riding mode is rear-motor only, with dual-motor engaged on demand via a switch.
▶ 24:10 Despite street/dual-sport tread and 20-inch wheels, the bike delivers enormous torque and dominates the soft sand.
▶ 24:31 The ride feels unstoppable, with a fun “RC car” character, credited to the Samsung 50S cells and Ntec motors.
▶ 25:39 Overall, it's “about the most fun you can have on two wheels with pedals,” combining raw power, beach capability, and playful handling.
▶ 25:42 After hard riding, motor temperature checks show only 168°F, with surprisingly low heat buildup.
▶ 25:50 Both front and rear motors show no significant heat, and the rider calls it "easy peasy" for the bike at ▶ 25:56.
▶ 25:58 With motors running cool, the rider immediately transitions to sand riding for the next test.
▶ 26:05 The rider is immediately thrilled, calling the sand ride "ridiculously fun" and even considering a wheelie.
▶ 26:30 Entering deep sand sparks an excited "Holy crap" moment, but the bike handles the loose, deep terrain with confidence.
▶ 26:53 The e-bike lets the rider "just chill" while sustaining 2,000 W through the sand, highlighting smooth, powerful delivery in tough conditions.
▶ 26:58 To properly test the bike's capabilities, the rider plans to use full power output, referencing 8,000 to 9,000 watts.
▶ 27:01 For an apples-to-apples comparison, the test plan includes running the bike up the Kali incline, testing the brakes afterward, and then heading home to check final range.
▶ 27:08 The rider will skip the people section entirely because the bike is "way too fast" for that part of the test.
▶ 27:13 Merge and acceleration test on the Kali incline begins with strong immediate speed, called "no problem."
▶ 27:36 Uphill acceleration reaches 40 mph in 10 seconds and about 50 mph in 17 seconds, with a wheelie-prone launch noted.
▶ 27:47 Brake test starts on the same uphill incline, though the braking results are not covered in this section.
▶ 27:52 The rider calls the Wired Viper “the most exciting bike with pedals I've ever ridden,” praising the 203 mm rotors, hydraulic brakes, and four-piston calipers as feeling solid in stops from the 40s.
▶ 28:12 Street tread tires stick well and put power down effectively; power-wheeling is “the most fun you can have on two wheels,” but he warns to budget for front tire replacements.
▶ 29:05 The bike is “insane” with substantial weight—essentially “bicycle brakes on a motorcycle”—so he advises being easy on the throttle despite the strong braking performance.
▶ 29:34 Rider enthusiastically praises the bike as "Very fun bike, bro."
▶ 29:38 Another rider reacts with an impressed "Damn," affirming the bike's impact.
▶ 29:44 Banter turns to a joking quote—"I need that feature"—highlighting the playful tone.
▶ 29:54 Halfway through the ride the battery is at 70%, and the rider heads home to check the bike's final range.
▶ 30:03 The Wired Viper is priced at $3,699, with an extra $100 off available through the link; the rider calls it "basically the most fun" ebike they've ever had.
▶ 30:42 Bottom line: it's the most outrageous dual-motor, pedal-equipped 20-inch ebike, and new riders can start in locked mode before working up the power.
▶ 31:06 Single-motor mode can be toggled on and off at will; the rider is currently using it.
▶ 31:08 The bike is called "the pinnacle of pedal e-bikes in 2026" for performance and design.
▶ 31:17 Heading home, with the final range to be reported at the end of the ride.
▶ 31:20 Adjust start strength to "smoothest" for both front and rear motors.
▶ 31:31 Setting start strength to smoothest makes power delivery "quite a bit more smoother."
▶ 31:35 Smoother power delivery options are recommended as the more practical choice for most riding.
▶ 31:46 Switching from "Hold On" to "Smoothest" noticeably smooths power delivery and makes throttle response more forgiving.
▶ 31:54 On Smoothest, the rider can throttle directly without front-end lift, improving controllability while keeping strong acceleration.
▶ 32:05 Even after significant riding, the bike still reaches top speed easily and feels like it's on a full charge.
▶ 32:11 The bike feels like it has a full charge, delivering strong and consistent battery performance during the ride home.
▶ 32:13 The acceleration and power are impressive: “Absolutely hauls, bro,” showing the bike performs far beyond typical expectations.
▶ 32:19 The turn signal works without issue, and the rider confirms they are wrapping up the route.
▶ 32:24 After 1 hour 14 minutes of riding, the battery had 53% remaining, with a total distance of just under 19 miles and an average speed of 15.1 mph.
▶ 32:37 The Viper is an "absolutely bad to the bone" dual-motor e-bike, and riders wanting this style of performance will be 100% happy with it.
▶ 32:48 Highly recommended, but order soon because bikes are selling out quickly; use the link and discount code to save $100.
