Sand Viper is an electric fat bike from SSR Motorsports (known for producing scooters and gas powered motorcycles), with its low price and decent range of features.
The first iteration of this model was equipped with a modest 350-watt engine, which coped well with cobblestone roads and difficult trailers, but experienced difficulties in real sand.
He simply did not have the power, and controllability suffered because of the additional weight in the front. However, the democratic price ($ 1,399) resulted in high sales.
Based on customer feedback and dealer advisories, SSR has returned to development, improving almost all the elements of the original bike, as well as introducing a variant with a large engine for $ 1,799, which will be discussed in this review.
Advantages of electric bike
- The eccentric front wheel mount system and removable battery allow you to ease the bike and reduce its size for storage or transportation.
- It has both support for pedal rotation (five levels), and throttle mode on demand. Plus, the throttle can be turned off at any time. In fact, you get all the available ride modes
- Easy to use LED backlit display, which can be easily operated while driving, without picking up a hand with a steering wheel. Manages the headlight running on the main battery
- Good weight distribution. The battery installed on the bottom pipe can be removed for recharging or transporting the frame. In addition, it has a USB port for portable electronics!
- Big tires 26 "x 4", soft seats, as well as a shock absorber Promax in the submarine drive make long trips more comfortable.
- Low steering wheel, ergonomic knobs and adjustable take-off, with proper settings, reduce the load on your arms and back
- The large SIS switch for the index finger refers to the base level equipment, but works great on bicycles with thick tires designed for snowmobiling. Thanks to the size of the levers, it will be easier for you to switch gears in gloves
- The rigid pedals with large platforms of Wellgo provide excellent clutch with shoes (it is very important for a ride in the snow)
- The frame is available in matte black, matte red and brilliant white colors (given the democratic price, the paint looks very good)
- Mechanical disc brakes Tektro with average 160-millimeter rotors. They are controlled by the Tektro levers for electric bikes, which turn off the power supply to the engine. You can buy levers with a rubber coating that improve grip and reduce vibration.
- Carriage with a closed cartridge is more resistant to dust, sand, snow and water
- A sturdy pad does not allow Sand Viper to fall into a bicycle rack. It is located a bit behind, so as not to interfere with the legs during pedal rotation
- A full one-year warranty on dealership service. Very good for a 500-watt electric bike for only $ 2,000
Disadvantages of electric bike
- The bottom and subsoil pipes are occupied by a battery and a box with a controller, which means that there is no space left on the frame for the bottles
- Before turning on the LCD panel and the bike itself, you first need to activate the battery. Such a sequence can lead to some people confused
- The rear lamp is set too low due to the suspension pins of the dipped pin and works independently of AAA batteries, so it's easy to forget about it.
- Only a 18-inch high-grade frame is available. It will not suit everyone, but the regulated steering wheel can help with this matter
