Summary of Reviews

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

8 reasons to buy

At 45lb, the Panther is relatively light for a budget e-bike.
The Panther comes with lights, mudguards, tools, a kickstand, and a horn.
A 5'11” tester confirms the bike fits them, and a 6'3” reviewer finds a good fit after fitting a taller stem.
A reviewer appreciates the easy assembly, thanks in part to the included assembly manual.
This bike has a USB port for charging devices.
Experts are impressed by this bike’s real-world range.
Though the display is small, it’s easy to see and shows all key information.
Owners are pleased with the performance and ride of their Panthers, one saying it’s a “step up” from the usual budget e-bike.

6 reasons not to buy

This bike has no mounting points for a rack, full-coverage fenders, or bottle cages.
Viribus calls the Panther a mountain bike, but reviewers agree it’s only suited to light off-road terrain.
A tester complains that the throttle's initial acceleration is “jerky.”
One reviewer says the brakes aren’t great, but they might not have set them up properly. An owner says the brakes feel soft but work well.
A tester finds it difficult to install the headlight and front fender together.
The controller on one owner's bike breaks after two weeks, and they have trouble communicating with Viribus customer support.

Bottom line

The Viribus Panther is a budget hybrid e-bike with a suspension fork, 350W motor, and 20Ah battery. This bike's claimed weight is much lower than competitors in this price range. Reviewers and owners are generally impressed by the combination of utility, speed, and range, praising the Panther's capacity for local commutes and light trails. However, there are no mounting points for cargo racks, full-coverage fenders, or a bottle cage. At this price point, it's hard to find a commuter offering such overall practicality with so few reported issues.
