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.

Wired Warrior Review: The "Clark Kent" of 50 MPH eBikes
Quick Take
The Wired Warrior is the "superhero" of the eBike world. At a standstill, it’s unassuming—looking like a premium, full-size fat tire bike (the Clark Kent). But once you unlock the display and twist that throttle, it becomes a 50+ mph monster (the Superman) that leaves high-profile e-motos like the Sur-ron wondering what just happened.
If you want the most stable, high-powered geared hub motor on the market—without the "police-magnet" look of a dirt bike—this is the new gold standard for Power Performance Bikes (PPB).

Performance: Unassuming Looks, Superhuman Power
Don't let the "bicycle" silhouette fool you. This bike is violent in its highest settings.
- Speed Tests: While the box says 45 mph, our GPS testing clocked it at 52 mph. On the bike's display, we saw numbers as high as 61 mph.
- Acceleration: With the start strength set to "0" (the fastest setting), the Warrior is a neck-snapper. During our hill climb test—on a grade so steep most ebikes die halfway up—the Warrior climbed it from a dead stop at only 65% throttle. In fact, at 100% throttle, the front wheel wants to lift off the ground completely.
- The Controller: It uses a Square Wave controller. While this provides that raw, punchy acceleration we love for adrenaline runs, it does make low-speed crawling (under 7 mph) a bit jerky and inconsistent. This bike wants to go, not loiter.
The "Stealth" Advantage
One of the best things about the Warrior is its unassuming aesthetic. Wired intentionally chose a smaller, high-output LED headlight instead of a massive motorcycle bucket. Why? So you can enjoy state parks and bike paths without offending "Karens" or attracting every cop in a five-mile radius. It looks like a bicycle, so you're treated like a bicyclist—even though you're packing 72V of heat.
Build Quality: Built for 50 MPH
Wired didn't just slap a big motor on a cheap frame. They addressed the "death wobble" and mechanical failures common in this category:
- 10-Gauge Spokes: Most brands use standard spokes that snap under high torque. Wired upgraded to thick 10-gauge spokes and double-wall insulated rims.
- The Safety Thru-Axle: The front fork uses a beefy thru-axle quick release. At 50 mph, you want that extra lateral stiffness and security.
- Sunglasses-Friendly Display: They custom-ordered the LCD to remove the polarity, meaning you can actually read your speed while wearing polarized sunglasses—a small but massive "pro" detail.
- 56T Chainring: This is a crucial addition. It provides enough tension that you can actually pedal and contribute to the speed at 45 mph without "ghost pedaling."
What We Love
- The Founder's Logic: Talking to Wired’s CEO, the choice of the "budget" Shimano Tourney derailleur was intentional—it allows for a half-twist throttle, which is significantly safer for maintaining a full grip at 50 mph than a thumb shifter.
- Samsung 50S Cells: These high-discharge cells handle heat much better than cheaper packs, meaning the bike doesn't "heat soak" or lose power during hard rides.
- Extreme Stability: Thanks to the 26-inch wheels and longer wheelbase, this is the most stable high-speed platform we've tested. No shimmies or shakes.
- Dual Charging: It comes with two chargers, so you can juice up both batteries simultaneously.
What Could Be Improved
- The "Loud" Factor: This geared hub motor has a distinct siren-like whir at high speeds. It’s not a stealthy motor by any means.
- Safety Features: We’d love to see a kickstand kill-switch. With this much "snap" in the throttle, an accidental twist while the bike is parked could be disastrous.
- The Key Situation: You have to carry two separate keys for the two batteries. A single-key system would be a huge UX win.
- Tool Kit: The included multi-tool is soft and prone to stripping bolts. We recommend using your own hardened steel tools for assembly.
Who the Wired Warrior Is For
- The Stealth Adrenaline Junkie: You want to keep up with your buddies on Sur-rons but still be allowed on the bike path.
- Commuters with a Need for Speed: If your route includes high-speed traffic sections, the Warrior has the road presence and power to keep you safe.
- Heavier Riders: The 121 lb rack capacity and full-size frame make this a great pick for larger humans.
Who It Is NOT For
- Weight Weenies: At 145 lbs, if you run out of battery, you aren't pedaling this home. It’s a workout.
- The "Natural" Cyclist: If you want a subtle, quiet assist, this motor will feel like overkill.
Final Thoughts
The Wired Warrior is a "Power Performance Bike" that actually delivers on the hype. It’s built by people who clearly ride and listen to the community. For $2,799, you are getting a machine that rivals electric motorcycles twice its price, all while maintaining the soul (and the legal profile) of an eBike.
