The Shift to 72V Power and UL 2849 Safety Standards
In 2026, the "standard" ebike is no longer enough for riders who demand both extreme power and uncompromising safety. The transition to the Power Performance Bike (PPB) category is driven by the move toward 72V electrical systems, which provide the higher torque and efficiency needed for steep climbs and high-speed stability. However, power without protection is a risk; that’s why UL 2849 certification has become the essential gold standard. At Wired Ebikes, we've engineered our latest models to exceed these rigorous testing requirements, ensuring that every 8000W peak power burst is backed by a fully certified, fire-safe battery and motor ecosystem.
Why 72V Systems are the New Performance Benchmark
While the industry has traditionally relied on 48V or 60V setups, our 72V high-performance platform offers a distinct mechanical advantage. Higher voltage allows for greater power delivery with less electrical resistance. This means your motor stays cooler during long, grueling climbs, and your Samsung 50S battery cells can perform at their peak for longer durations. Whether you are navigating technical off-road trails on the Wired Warrior or commuting with authority on the Wired Scout, 72V provides the unrestricted torque needed to conquer any terrain.
Certified Peace of Mind: UL 2271 and UL 2849
Safety isn't just a tagline at Wired Ebikes—it’s a verified manufacturing standard. We are proud to lead the industry with a lineup that is fully compliant with the world's most stringent electrical benchmarks.
-
Total System Safety (UL 2849): Our 60V flagship models, the Wired Freedom and the Wired Cruiser, are fully UL 2849 certified, meaning the entire drive system—battery, motor, and charger—has been tested as a safe, integrated unit.
-
72V Certified Performance: Our high-torque models, the Wired Warrior and the Wired Scout, also carry full UL 2849 and UL 2271 certifications. This ensures that even at extreme voltages, your electrical system is protected against thermal and electrical failures.
-
Dual-Motor Reliability: For the ultimate power users, our 72V dual-motor models, the Wired Viper and the Wired Predator, utilize UL 2271 compliant battery technology. This certification specifically focuses on the battery's ability to withstand vibration, impact, and extreme weather, making them the most durable choice for high-speed riding.
Choosing Your Power Performance Bike
Selecting the right bike depends on your riding style, but with Wired Ebikes, you never have to choose between performance and protection. Our dual-battery setups and 8000W peak output motors are built to provide 100+ miles of range without sacrificing the safety standards required for modern urban and trail riding.
