Bike Size Charts

BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.

We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.

It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.

If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!

Summary of Reviews

We have read all expert and user reviews on the Senada Viper. In summary, this is what cyclists think.

7 reasons to buy

  • Experts say it’s easy to reach the Viper’s max speed of 30mph.
  • Testers say the Viper has an above-average battery capacity for this price point and weight.
  • The Senada Viper has a rack, fenders, and a “very bright” headlight.
  • The cushioned saddle is very comfortable, according to one user.
  • The wide handlebars with rubber grips are comfortable, in one expert's opinion.
  • Testers find the bike rides well without pedal assist despite its weight of 70lb.
  • Tall, heavy testers say the Viper is comfortable for them.

5 reasons not to buy

  • Experts note Viper struggles to make it up steep hills on throttle power alone, despite the high-power motor.
  • In very hot weather on steep hills, experts report the motor overheating and needing to be shut off to cool down.
  • There is a one second delay when changing between levels of pedal assist, according to one expert.
  • This bike doesn’t suit riders below 5’7”.
  • The Viper’s 1000W exceeds e-bike power regulations (750W), meaning it cannot be used on public roads or bike paths.

Bottom line

The Senada Viper is a fat-tire e-bike with full suspension and a 1000W hub motor. The Viper’s speed, above-average battery capacity, off-road capabilities, and ride comfort earn praise. However, testers complain of the motor overheating on hot days, underwhelming throttle performance, weak mechanical brakes, and lagging pedal assist. Despite these issues, experts consider the Viper to be a good option for light off-roading. But potential buyers should beware of the limited height range and a motor power that exceeds e-bike regulations.
