Most of the reviews I've watched look like they are on leveler ground. But the hills you have are closer to the area that I live in. Thanks for the real world reviews

[@raypabs5374]

Yes, please do range test using only rear wheel. I want to compare this to the Aniioki A8 pro 60ah ebike. It would also be nice for Wallke to send to you that additional 20 ah battery for testing. Doing so would probably make this product the only 80 ah battery ebike in production; that would be a big deal!

[@galacticgalaxyonezerone7235]

The weird noise happens on many including mine. I think it’s just the spinning of the magnetic parts of the motor like the weight from it. And it’s more notable in the front motor.

[@HyperXism]

Thanks ! Just ordered one. Can't wait for it to come!

[@Matthew-Xg]

Dual motors, I have already bought them, can’t wait!!

[@JCIIIBULLET]

I have a Wallke H6 Max and I weigh around 250 I believe something is wrong with that bike that you are reviewing as mine easily can get up to 33 mph That front hub motor does not sound right. Anyways, keep up the good reviews my friend

[@commonoutdoors]

The top speed would be less on the H9. The 40 amps is split, 18 front and 22 rear. Your H6 is all 30 (I believe) rear. The H9 will take off faster, but the top end just wont quite be the same.

[@raypabs5374]

I am glad that you are back to doing ebike reviews. I have not seen you do one in a while. Contact Billy Goat V2 ebike and Wired freedom, I would like to watch you review those ebikes.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Thank you for the suggestions! I haven’t reached out to goat ebikes but I did reach out to Wired, unfortunately they were not interested in me reviewing one of their bikes.

​@JeremiahMcintosh yes exactly..the Goat v2 vs wired freedom is the battle alot of folks are looking for..my final 2 choices for sure..

[@evewilliams5017]

I agree 100% my final 2 choices..both are best bikes for 2024..

[@Bobster986]

Would really like to see a distance test and a follow up on what’s happening to the front motor. 😮

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Maybe when it gets a little warmer I’ll try to do a range test but it’ll probably have to do it over a few days! I’ve had another bike make a similar noise from the rear hub motor at top speed but it wasn’t as noticeable as this one and I’ve never had a problem with it so maybe this one won’t either? If anything goes wrong with it I’ll be sure to make a follow up video!

[@lukeb0319]

​@@JeremiahMcintoshI think the front wheel is unable to keep up with the back wheel at times and then starts making that noise. It sounds like the front wheel and the back wheel get out of sync and that's why when you let off, then they sync up again. To me it sounds like an issue that Wallke needs to address

[@ollieox9181]

@@moises1330 Any follow-up on that, yet?

Range test please. I have a wallke H6 ST that I bought partly on your honest test. Luv it, 2000 miles and counting.

[@joshskalicky779]

How are you going to replace your tires

[@NicholasMackris-iq5uh]

Please make a video of the install of the 20ah battery in the down tube. Incidentally I bought the H6s which is the single rear motor version of the bike with a 36ah battery. It has the 1000w rear hub motor & it can reach 33 miles an hour with throttle only. As soon as the battery runs down however you can't continue to hit that speed. This is the case with any ebike. Overall a great bike. Like your reviews you do a great job.

[@brucepflieger7212]

In late January I had ridden four different Wallke H9s. Two 40 amp hour and two 60 amp hour bikes. All 4 performed well and did not experience the front wheel motor pulsing or any sound difference. At 280lbs I was able to reach 34mph on the flat throttle only. I was in the desert so I had more real estate to get to speed. As far as hill climb this where this bike excels. I was also able to test the H6, H6S, H6MAX and the X3. The AWD is the way to go. The torque was amazing. The H9 was a ridiculously fun bike to ride. It was able to perform in all kinds of terrain including deep sand and steep almost vertical hills where the other bikes had issues.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

That’s good to know. I don’t know why mine was making that noise but I’ll be reviewing the H7 AWD soon so I’ll see if it makes that noise.

[@moises1330]

Wallke reached replies to me when I asked em about the noise, they said it could possibly be the brakes that need adjustment ?

Very interesting E-Bike, the dual motors is really a kick in the pants. Agree with you on the power ratings verses the controller specifications, doesn't quite add up. The chattering of the front motor should be addressed, something isn't quite right there. The 60 AH battery could be packaged better to keep from interfering with the seat post but overall I really like it. Thank you for the review.

[@bigfoot-g4i]

thats a lot 80AH for an Ebike boy would i love that bike to visit my sister in leeds about 80 miles from my home in the uk.thanks for the great youtube video i learned a lot jeremiah.

Nice to see you reviewing again. I didn’t find the weight of the bike on their webpage.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Thank you! It’s on there somewhere but not very clear. Kind of have to dig a little to find it? It’s under the specifications tab and the battery weight they have listed on there is wrong as well. It says it’s only 10 pounds.

[@thomast6638]

I think 113 wth single 60ah

[@scewtersource]

that showz how well the dual moter mode werks uphill

[@jimjr9143]

I will never understand why makers of e-bikes like this at times do not install a freewheel down to 11 tooth . It’s a must to help prevent very fast (ghost) pedaling . The chainring needs to be 52tooth minimum . 56tooth even better . That will give prober pedal assist . Why so many insist on installing these wrong parts confuses me . Other than that , looks to be a good deal for the money for sure. Side note : the controller is to small .. max 1600 watts , no way ..

[@lukeb0319]

I just installed an 11 tooth on mine and it makes a world of difference! Why they don't put these on to begin with I'll never know either.

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

Like the Grizzly.. It has dual 30 amp controllers. Why not do that with this bike but using 60V battery 30ah and another 15 extra somewhere. Put dual 1,000 nominal motors in it.

[@fredferrara4964]

Please do a range test on the H9

[@fredferrara4964]

Your thoughts about the 3 e-bikes: Wallke h9, Cyrusher Trax & Ovia. Your preference

[@johnhelms]

I like it, hopefully they will recess the handle on the big battery because I'm 5'7" and would want it for long range coming and put it 750 motor on front with a higher amp controller and it would be perfect for me.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Since my review they actually made the 60ah battery shorter which is awesome.

[@johnhelms]

@JeremiahMcintosh That's great! I think they limited it so it can only go so fast. I watched other videos of H9 and the front motor made me same noise.

[@bradlaflamme6127]

Yes I want to see the battery blender and 20ah battery. I am considering this bike but only with the 80ah option. I need to know it will work fine. I have a current bike with 20ah which is nice around town and to go to a nearby swimming hole but not the one I want so I would need the 80ah option.

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

I’m not really sure but as of now I don’t think I will be getting the second battery. I would have loved to test that though.

[@briandonovan1257]

Another thorough review while keeping it interesting. I have the original H6. The rear shocks only worked if you were pretty heavy...with a 350 lb weight limit on it and no adjustment, one had to depend on the shock absorbing seat post. But with the new one, you've reviewed mentioning a weight limit of 400 lbs, and that the shocks are not adjustable, are they then useful for us 175 lbers? It looked like with the 60Amp battery there wasn't room for a shock post, or it would be out of our 5'8" range. Can you share your opinion...? Now I'm riding an Aniioki A8, 52V/60A and love the long range... But first generation of both bikes have quirks needing attention. Thanks, keep them coming!

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

I agree with you the shocks on the H6 were a little stiff. These shocks definitely are not as stiff and helps with the bumps a lot better and I’m not sure you would need a Suspension seat post however you could put one in, but you would have to sit up a lot higher and probably wouldn’t be good for someone around 5’8” if you did. Could always get the 40ah one if it was a concern which would make the seat 2 inches lower.

[@seanlance]

It sounds like your front tire is skipping against the pavement. Like it's about to break traction.

[@johnware8850]

That skipping noise may be slipping of tires due to lack of weight. Add a basket to front with weight to see if this gives more consistency in traction. Does tire need balancing?

[@kevinnashskitchen3517]

The front wants to cut out at 28 or X amount of RPM and the rear is up to more i reckon.. So a skipping noise.

It’s hard to say long term. You could have potential maintenance with the controller or hub motors on the Wallke or you could have some maintenance on the chain and derailer on the Himiway because of the powerful mid drive.

It doesn’t really shake but the front motor makes a weird noise at high speed. I just recently got the H7 all-wheel-drive and it does the same thing?

This sounds cool but it is a waist in the long run to have 2 motors at different watts running concurrent.. it may get up a couple of hills better but the battery will drain like a tub and the lower watt motors will be under strain trying to keep up ..

PLEASE HELP: So I bought this Ebike after going through an EXHAUSTIVE amount of research including this video. It was my first Ebike purchase and here’s my issue: WHY IS THERE A PEDAL SYSTEM AT ALL? This does not seem to be a “pedal assist” bike - so why the pedals??? You’re either on throttle only with zero pedal resistance, or on zero power trying to pedal a 100lb+ bike. Is anyone experiencing something different? There’s no exercise with the H9 - just fantastic power and range but no exercise option???

[@JeremiahMcintosh]

Just keep the pas set to 1 on single motor mode and you should get plenty of exercise. If it’s still too much assisted power, just go in the Advanced settings and turn down each level to whatever % you like. If that still doesn’t work for you sounds like you should’ve bought something with a torque sensor.

Seem like a great bike for us old timers that need more throttle than pedal It allows you to tweak it a bit to get some exercise but ultimately for me I’ll be relying on the throttle to haul me along so I can have some adventures during the summer months Ordered mine two weeks ago Should arrive sometime in early May

[@Jack5822]

Is it only vibrating at top speed in AWD? Even if they put 1k motor in from and rear, if it's still 18 amps front and 22 amps rear they didn't really fix the problem. The only real fix may be for them to have the front motor cut out when it doesn't have enough resistance.
