World’s Fastest Production Fat-Tire E‑Bike

If you like your e-bikes a little unhinged, the wired predator is exactly that. This is not a casual commuter. Its the worlds fastest ebike! This is the bike you buy when you want to scare yourself a little, out-accelerate pretty much everything on a bike path, and argue with your spouse about life insurance.

In this review, you’ll get a real-world look at comfort, power, speed, braking, off-road behavior, and whether you actually need dual motors that try to rip the front wheel off the ground. No fluff, no spec-dump, just what it feels like to live with this thing at 6’1″, 250 pounds.

Safety First: Locking Down a 60 mph E‑Bike

Before the ride even starts, there is one priority: keep the bike in one piece.

The bolts on the Predator’s handlebar clamp are all marked so any movement is obvious. They are also red Loctited, because if hardware starts backing out at 40 to 50 mph, that is not a minor problem, that is a “we are going home now” problem.

There is also a separate video showing what happens when you do not take those precautions, which is exactly why this bike got the full paranoia treatment before touching the throttle.

Yes, the weather is cold, and yes, the rider is nervous. Completely fair.

Why Precautions Matter on High‑Power Bikes

A bike this strong is unforgiving if you cut corners.

Bolts can shake loose at high speed.
Heavy frames hammer hardware on rough paths.
Dual motors multiply stress through the whole chassis.

What Is the Wired Predator, Really?

Wired does not really like calling this a normal e‑bike. They refer to their lineup as power performance bikes, and the Predator sits at the top of that food chain. Officially it is a 72 V, all‑wheel‑drive machine with pedals. Unofficially, it feels like an e‑bike that has been to a very shady gym.

Some people look at it and say it is basically a light motorcycle with pedals. The way it is ridden here, it is treated as an e‑bike that just happens to be on meth, with a display menu.

According to Wired’s own product page, the Predator runs a 2,000 W rear motor and a 1,500 W front motor, with a combined peak around 8,000 W of power, which lines up with what you feel the second both motors come online. You can see how Wired presents it on their site: official WIRED Predator product page.

Comfort and Cockpit: Big Rider Approved

The rider here is 6’1″, 250 lbs, and the Predator actually fits that body size without yoga.

The BMX‑style handlebars are key. They sit high and close enough that you are not hunched over in an aggressive MTB stance. Bars and saddle are roughly level, which makes fast riding a lot more relaxed on your back and wrists.

The grips flare out at the ends, so your palms have a little shelf to rest on. That sounds minor, but on taller BMX bars at high speed, that extra support keeps your hands from cramping and gives you a solid hold when the bike starts to pull.

The seat is another surprise. After 20 miles, the comment is not “I need an ice pack.” It is “I am actually fine.” On a lot of fast e‑bikes, the saddle is the first thing you want to swap. On the Predator, you can live with it.

Assist Modes: Torque vs Cadence

The Predator has both torque sensing and cadence sensing, and you can flip between them in the display.

To switch:

Hold the “Set” button to open the advanced menu.
Scroll to the assist type.
Change from Torque to Cadence, or back again.

In torque mode you have to put real force into the pedals before the bike responds, which is good if you want a tiny bit of exercise and more control. In cadence mode, you just spin your legs and the bike does the rest, which is what you want when you are trying not to sound like you are running a marathon into the microphone.

There is also an unlimited mode alongside Class 1, 2, and 3 settings. You can lock it down to stay legal, or open it up and fine‑tune everything from motor output to how aggressive the power ramps in. The Predator is not classless, it is whatever class you feel like risking today.

Power, Suspension, and Brakes

Wired claims up to 8,000 W peak between the two hub motors. On any random Amazon bike that would sound like nonsense. After riding the Predator, and having previously tested the brand’s insane range bike in this Wired Freedom eBike review, that number feels very real.

Suspension Setup

Front suspension is simple. You get compression adjustment, and that is it. No rebound knob, no preload dial. You can firm it up or soften it, but you are not turning this into a plush downhill fork.

The rear is an air shock with a lockout. Out of the box it sits at around 150 psi. For a 250‑pound rider, bumping it to about 165 psi gives a bit of movement without wallowing. It looks like it would be happiest with someone around 220 lbs, but even at 250 it does not bottom out or feel sketchy.

Manufacturers love to say “off‑road only” for legal reasons. In practice, this suspension is fine for light trails, dirt paths, and rough pavement. It is not a dedicated enduro rig.

Braking a 160‑Pound Missile

The frame alone is about 122 lbs, and once you add batteries you are realistically pushing close to 160 lbs of bike. Stopping that from 40+ mph is serious work.

The Predator uses quad‑piston hydraulic brakes, and they are strong, but they are not motorcycle brakes. You cannot ride this like a 60 mph toy and expect it to stop on a dime. You need distance, planning, and both hands fully on the grips.

One very important detail: the small rocker switch on the bars is not a turn signal. Far right is rear motor only. Far left is front motor only. Center position turns on both motors and that is when things get spicy. Treat that switch with respect.

Real‑World Speed: What It Actually Does

On a long, open stretch using both motors, the Predator hits about 46 mph with a 250‑pound rider, some wind, and real‑world conditions. That is already insane on fat tires.

To chase more speed, the power output for both motors gets cranked up to 100 percent in the advanced menu. Start strength on the front is left low at 1, the rear at 2, to avoid instant loop‑outs.

Even with that, the front wheel wants to climb. Hard. You can see it spin light before it grabs, and you feel the whole bike trying to yank itself upward every time you punch the throttle. At that point the rider taps out on chasing a clean max speed run, because staying alive is more appealing than seeing “60” on the display.

From a realistic standpoint, with a lighter rider, less wind, and a long flat road, 60 mph feels possible. It is just not smart to try to prove it in traffic, on camera, with a 250‑pound human on top.

Off‑Road Behavior, Tires, and Throttle Gripes

The tires on the wired predator are big, fat, and have a tread pattern you do not see often. They look like a hybrid between a street fat tire and a light off‑road paddle. On hard pack, bike paths, and mixed surfaces, they hook up great. In deep, loose sand, they are not ideal, but that is not what most people buy this bike for.

Off‑road, the dual motors are complete overkill for most riders. The front wheel will happily spin, dig, and try to wash out if you are not weighting it properly. With both motors on, hill climbs feel like cheating, but you also have to be very awake.

The one big annoyance is the half‑twist throttle. At slow technical speeds, your grip ends up in a weird claw position. You are trying to hold the bar and feather the throttle with two fingers, and it never feels secure. On a bike this powerful, a better throttle and grip combo would make a big difference.

If you want to see how another “hold on tight” dual‑motor rig compares on value and insanity, the Magician Alpha 72V is a cheaper speed junkie option, but the Predator still sits above it in raw violence.

Who Actually Needs This Dual‑Motor Monster?

Let us be honest. The wired predator is not the first e‑bike you buy. It is the bike you buy when you already know you like going fast and you want to push it further.

It makes the most sense if:

You are a heavier rider, around 220–250 lbs, and want power that does not feel tapped out.
You ride mixed surfaces where extra traction from dual motors is useful.
You care about bragging rights and want to say you own the most powerful production fat‑tire e‑bike anybody in your circle has seen.

Price is around $3,800, which is a lot of money to spend just to terrorize your local bike path. That is where the comparison to Wired’s single‑motor bikes matters.

Predator vs Scout/Warrior: Do You Need Dual Motors?

The rider here is very clear: you probably do not need the dual‑motor Predator.

Wired’s single‑motor 72 V bikes, the Scout and the Warrior, already have more than enough punch for most people. The Predator is the “extra thousand dollars because I want the craziest one” option.

Here is a simple way to look at it:

Predator Dual‑Motor	Reality Check
Insane torque, front wheel wants to lift	Hard to use all that power safely on normal roads
All‑wheel drive for traction and flexing on friends	Overkill for most riders and commutes
Top of the lineup, huge brag factor	Costs about $1,000 more than a wired single‑motor
Comfortable for big riders at high speed	Heavier and even harder to stop quickly

If you spend most of your time on pavement, or light trails, a powerful single‑motor is already nuts. The Predator makes sense if you know you will actually use dual motors off‑road or you simply want the wildest thing Wired sells and you accept the risk.

Final Verdict: The Most Powerful E‑Bike He Has Ever Ridden

After 20+ miles, some sketchy speed runs, and a lot of heavy breathing, the verdict is simple: the wired predator is the most powerful mass‑produced e‑bike this rider has ever been on. Not the most comfortable bike in the world, not the all‑time favorite, but easily in the top five for pure chaos and fun.

If you want range and value, you are better off with something like the Freedom. If you just want stupid power and can honestly say you respect it, the Predator lives up to the hype.

Start with what you actually need, not what looks coolest on Instagram. If that still points you to the Predator after thinking it through, then you already know the kind of rider you are.
