Summary
Introducing the SSR Motorsports Trail Viper, the first folding electric fat tire bike that delivers convenience and performance in one unique package. Imagine effortlessly fitting a powerful e-bike into the back of your car without even folding the seats down—this is exactly what the Trail Viper offers. This bike features smaller wheels but retains the rugged appeal of a fat tire bike, making it a versatile companion for various adventures.
Unfolding the Trail Viper is a breeze, thanks to its thoughtful design. The bike features a robust folding mechanism reinforced with an extra plastic clip that secures the lever, ensuring stability during your rides. The front chainring and teeth are protected by a metal stand, demonstrating the meticulous attention to detail in its design. Despite the added weight from the fat tires, the Trail Viper rides solidly, supported by a sturdy stem with a height extender option.
The Trail Viper stands out for its portability, fitting easily into tight spaces, whether in your car trunk, on a boat, or even potentially on an airplane. The fat tires add a fun, bouncy element to your rides, making every journey enjoyable. Priced at $13.99, the Trail Viper offers affordability without compromising on quality, featuring an adjustable angle stem and quick-release on the front wheel for added convenience.
This e-bike is packed with practical features, including integrated lights and seat post suspension for a smoother ride. While it lacks a suspension fork, the fat tires can be deflated to about 10 psi for a spongier feel, enhancing comfort on bumpy trails. The 20-inch diameter tires with 4-inch width are perfect for both trails and concrete surfaces, although they can be a bit noisy on the road due to their knobby design.
Equipped with a six-speed Shimano SIS index shifter, the Trail Viper offers reliable shifting even with gloves on. The 350-watt Bafang geared motor delivers peppy performance, reminiscent of motors found on other popular fat tire bikes. Tektro mechanical disc brakes with 160mm rotors provide adequate stopping power, ensuring safety on various terrains.
The 36-volt, 10-amp-hour lithium battery is another highlight, featuring a charge level indicator and a removable design for easy charging. However, removing the battery requires taking off the seat post, which might be a minor inconvenience. The control pad and display are user-friendly, offering features like walk mode, pedal assist, and throttle mode, allowing for a customizable riding experience.
Overall, the SSR Motorsports Trail Viper is a solid choice for those seeking a folding electric fat tire bike. It combines portability, performance, and affordability, making it an excellent option for both urban commuting and off-road adventures.
