Peddling at top speed can be done if you swap the freewheel to 11-28T or 11-36T for easier hill peddling. Another way to improve top speed peddling is swap the chain ring to the highest teeth count possible (Mine is 70T, and can keep up with the motor at 30mph)
I did upgrade my wife's A7 to a 52T chainring and chain guard, and this really helped. On this bike, my current thinking is to leave it stock. I think I'd rather have to low ratio in case I need to pedal somewhere, than be better able to assist the bike at higher speeds.
Thanks for the advice -- I think it will be a real help for some of the people here. For anyone upgrading, the chainring upgrade was pretty simple, but did require a matching chain guard and longer chain, so plan that in.
@@ebike_reviews If you upgrade to the 11-28, it will NOT affect the low gear which is used for slow speeds. Yours has the 14-28 tooth. The 11 tooth gives you better peddling at high speeds but the 28 tooth isn't changed and that is for slow speeds. The 28 tooth is 1st gear. The 11 or 14 (yours) is the 7th gear. I hope that makes sense. You're not losing ANYTHING at slow speeds. You're gaining pedal power at faster speeds..
Thank you for this review and also I need to thank paw paw and tail happy as well as this bike is a great way for me to truly go wild and explore every street to my hearts content this was the bike I truly wanted I’ll be getting mine hopefully tommorow and I will also make my own review on seeing if I can drain the battery from 100 to 1% I. A day with just exploring all day long I’m also gonna put flat out in the tires so I don’t have to worry about getting flat tires while enjoying my exploring videos this is gonna be my ten year bike as I will only hope walked makes a successor to the truly noble h9which I sense will be known as the walked h10 with a hopeful 48 volt 80 amp hour battery and a bigger range the. Even the h9
Thank for the review, you helped me make my decision
Glad to hear it!
Seriously though. I would load up my truck and trailer with my Wallkeis and come down there for a colab video!
Sounds fun! How can I connect with you? Also have an idea you might like... info@ebikereviews.info
Thanks for this very informative insight into this e-bike. I am currently looking for an affordable and reasonably priced off-brand e-bike right now. I think this is the best so far. The build quality looks amazing based on your photos.
Like the brakes. If this bike could just figure how to put one good mid-drive instead of two bad hub drives, I would be all in.
the wallke h9 awd ,a good job
Thank you!
You got yourself a 479th subscriber lol you taught me things about my bike I didn't even know
Welcome aboard! I hope you're enjoying your bike like I do mine. 😊
Man! I would love to ride with you. We're on the same page when it comes to these bikes. Fantastic work on the video. I'm inspired! Cheers!
info@ebikereviews.info
Mine comes tomorrow!!!
Well done! I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.
This are excellent comfortable small bike with great traction and power with a very good price. Unless you are on flat pavement with no inclines I don't think to many out there will beat this ebike. Hits all areas well!
Totally agree!
I like the fenders and chain guards.
The fenders are lightweight and very tough -- much better then steel. The inner chain guard is a real benefit. On other bikes, I've had the chain come off several times on very rough terrain. The inner chain guard reduces the likelihood.
@@ebike_reviews I wasn't being sarcastic. For all the advantages of my mid-drive bike, she does NOT have those features. I'd like fenders to keep the wet crud off the bike and me. My bike also doesn't have that lovely chain guard. Accidentally kicking my chain off and/or getting my pants caught in the chain have been real problems for me. That chain guard could have saved me a lot of pain and suffering.
If you're ever up in Central AZ, Camp Verde, give me a holler and we'll ride together.
i bought my h6 max before this one came out i bought it in dec 29 i wish i knew this one was going to come out i would have wait i also had the orginal h6 it has over 3000 miles on it
Incredible e-bike and a very thorough review! I have been looking for a review on this e-bike by someone who actually utilizes the load capacity. I am a larger man at 6’0” 280lbs. I have been searching for a folding e-bike with excellent range capability to take on my big rig with me for grocery runs or just adventuring on down time. This hits all the points and I will be purchasing one as soon as taxes come in! I will be sure to use your affiliate link as I really do appreciate your detailed and experienced review. Thank you Sir!
Thanks for the kind feedback. The H9 will be a perfect fit for your size, and I trust you're going to enjoy it a lot. I got my first one three years ago, and have nearly 1,500 miles of riding on the two I own. For me, it's been a game-changer for enjoyment and exercise. 😊
Thanks for the great review! Where did you find the fat tire trailer? Was it a standard trailer that you swapped wheels/tires on?
I am waiting for my, it gets here on 6/12/24❤. I was going to buy a ARIEL Grizzly one, but thanks God, i didn't.
I have the H6 MAX and use it to commute to work and back year round. (2 miles round trip in Erie, PA) The rear suspension rides like a hardtail. I wound up replacing the saddle with one that has better/softer springs. Are the rear coilovers softer sprung than the H6 MAX? If so, I would like to purchase a set for my bike. They seem to have longer travel as well.
Yes, the coil-over shocks are significantly more comfortable than the H6. For best comfort, my wife has a very wide seat, and that might be one of the best comfort options available. Not expensive, either. amzn.to/3UpZC0A
(or search Amazon for X WING Oversized Comfort Bike Seat)
I like the battery capacity. Like the suspension. But calling a hub drive the best? Only a mid drive can be the best. Not good.
With hub motors, there are several advantages. The pedals are not coupled with the motor, so you can stop pedaling while the motor drives the bike. Motor power does not use or require the chain or derailleur shifting, so motor power doesn't require managing the shifter or pedals. You can add to power by pedaling, but the bike doesn't load up the pedal power chain with additional torque. The hub motors are independent of the chain drive so the loss of the motors or electronics still leaves the chain powertrain available to drive the bike. Also, the dual hub facilitates all-wheel-drive, which is a game-changer on steep inclines or low-traction surfaces.
It's not likely technically feasible to get anywhere near the power of this bike into a mid drive configuration. I doubt it could fit the available space, nor would the chain, cassette and hub likely survive the torque. Mid-drive can't support all-wheel-drive. With loss of any part of the pedal, chain, cassette or hub system, the bike is dead because both motive power sources operate through the chain.
Perhaps there's another aspect of this that makes your preference more persuasive, and which I've overlooked. Would you care to elaborate so I can add your thinking to my own?
@@ebike_reviews I'm going to have to respectfully disagree on most of that. With my mid-drive, which is not unusual, if I want to stop pedaling and let the motor drive the bike, I can. It's an advantage for the motor to work through the derailleur, kind of like why you like having a transmission in your car. I can add addt'l power by pedaling, I mostly pedal with low assist and the chain can take the torque. I can still pedal even if I lose all power. I'm not sure how much I would use the AWD, but I suppose if I wanted that, I could have the mid-drive and a hub in the front wheel. Actually, you could get more power with a mid-drive.
An advantage of the hub would be that if you lose the chain, you could still have thrust. Of course, that could work against you, say you're pants were firmly embedded in the chain and the hub kept pushing the bike, things could get a lot worse fast.
The main advantage of the mid-drive is that it can use the derailleur and shifter to deliver power and torque more effectively. The mid-drive is also placed better in the middle bottom for best stability. Hub motors are the classic unsprung weight. In a comparison, the mid-drive will go faster, pull more and do it for less power than the hub solution. That bike you're showing is pretty nifty for a lot of reasons, but if they had gone with a mid-drive, they could have used less battery to go further making the whole thing lighter and cheaper. Think of it this way, motorcycles don't use hub motors, they use mid-drives.
I appreciate you detailing your thinking. I'll point out that the cassette freewheels, so none of the rotation feeds back to the pedals, so the fear of the motor power winding up pants caught in the chain is misplaced. I agree that a mid-motor provides power to the rear via the chain and cassette, and so you can use the shifter to affect the power delivered. However, the low-end torque from the hub motor is more than adequate to move the loaded bike up a (reported) 40-degree incline, so using the gearing wouldn't provide an additional benefit. In the same way, a 35MPH+ top speed is also available with the hub motors, and I guarantee a hub motor cannot turn the pedals fast enough to achieve that -- certainly not if they're not able to freewheel from the chain ring.
I honestly have no experience with a mid-motor setup, and I think you've encouraged me to find a bike that's so-equipped. I'd certainly like to have some time with one. I'd probably learn a few things and come to appreciate your perspective. 😀
Thank you for taking the time to help me learn more....
Are more aggressive knobby tires available?
The stock tires are pretty knobby, and you can certainly hear them on pavement. However, the tires are standard 20 x 4" fat tires, and there's a wide range of replacements available, from street tires to extremes off-road. Because I'm in the desert, my tires have kevlar liners and slime.
did you put liners in the tires?
Thanks for the kind offer. We sometimes rid the logging roads and horse trails in the Prescott National Forest.
And we have put both Mr. Tuffy liners and Slime in the tires. No flats at all riding in the desert or suburban streets in more than three years. I do carry a tire repair kit and a pretty good first aid kit. The first aid kit has been used several times, when someone in the group came off their bike when it got a little ornery. 🫤;
@@ebike_reviews I have been riding for a little over 4 years now. PAS 2, no throttle, over 32 thousand miles in the Verde Valley.. 63 flats with slime and Mr Tuffy liner.. This will be my 6th e-bike. Can't wait.. Thanx for the great review..
thanks--sold only online?
am asia
I don't know what the purchase options are for Asia. As you maybe closer than in America, there may be a way. Perhaps you can contact Wallke through their website: www.wallkeebike.com or at: sales@wallkeebike.com ...
Do you know when this bike first came out?
The first Wallke H9s arrived in the USA in early January of 2024.
Where would the secondary battery mount?
In the fat part of the frame where it opens.
The 20Ahr secondary battery slides into the main tube of the frame. This is the same as the H6 Max.
Do wallke deliver to ukn?
Sorry, I don't know. You can check with Wallke at wallkeebikes.com.
(they are off for the two-week new year holiday just now, so you may not get a quick response)
Is there cruise control?
The new display and controller do not have cruise control. This feature is not permitted in many jurisdictions, and past models have shipped with it turned off or disabled altogether. I found it a very useful option and miss it. 🫤i
Hello friends, does anyone have a water resistant rating for the bike? Thanks!
Wallke claims the bike is water resistant. I've dismantled the motors and the controller, and although they're are sealed, I don't think they'd tolerate being submerged. I have ridden my Wallke 2021 X3 Pro in the rain without issue. However, leaving it parked outside for about three hours in a record downpour did result in water intruding into the display (made by the same manufacturer as this one) on one of our bikes and made the electronics non-operational. It took about a day in a bag of rice in a 160-degree oven to dry it out for return to use. It may be that the particular display was defective, but we now carry zip-lock bags to protect the displays in the rain.
In any case, I'll ask Wallke for a spare display and test it so I can say for sure. I'll report back. 🙂
@@ebike_reviews Thank you very much. I could not find the information on their website after digging through its layers. Most bike manufacturers post this information but when they don't, it's safer to assume they have little, if any water resistance. So far, I have found water resistance ratings going between IP65 (6=dust resistance; 5= water resistance... where 9 is the highest) to IPX5 (dust rating is missing, but still has a water rating of 5). A water resistance rating of 5 means resistance to water sprayed for 3 minutes at 4.4 psi. A rating of 5 should be good enough for an e-bike, except no powerful hoses or pressure washers can be used. Non-hurricane, normal rain and normal cleaning with a damp rag should be fine. Take care bud.
The display is made by Key-Display and is a Wallke-specific version of their KD986. You can find it at: www.key-display.com/product/29 It's certified as IPX6, so pretty good for an eBike -- can stand up to water jets.
@@ebike_reviews You're a gentleman. Thank you very much.
It won't accept 160 lb person on the back how many miles does it go total on throttle alone
The carrier is rated at 110lb and comes with a decorative pad, not a seat. There are no footpaths, nor anything to keep a rider's feet out of the wheel, so definitely not safe for a second rider. There's an optional large cargo basket that attaches, and enough sturdy structure for other accessories you might find.
Motor range will vary, depending on terrain, surface, speed, suspension settings, pedal contribution and more, so a precise mileage can't be predicted. However, the first 67 miles left the battery at 47%. After a full charge, I got to 112 miles on the odometer with 63% remaining. I think 120 miles of mixed motor and pedal assist is a reasonable expectation.
PLEASE HELP: So I bought this Ebike after going through an EXHAUSTIVE amount of research including this video. My “assumption” was that if it has a pedal system, there’s naturally resistance built in to get some kind of a cardio/exercise option right? This H9 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??? Using the pedal system in any gear with power eliminates all pedal resistance - 100% freewheeling pedal in any power mode… really?
I use the bike for fitness / cardio as well. You can get no assist, a little assist, or a lot of assist as you desire.
The bike's PAS power assist system senses pedaling and will engage the motor to help. It will provide power up to the limit set for each mode. (My bike: 9, 14, 19, 24 & 29 MPH for modes 1-5) To ride at 10MPH, I use mode 1 and the bike will assist up to 9 MPH, then I use my own power to go faster. To rest, I pedal less and the motor will pick up when I drop back to 9 MPH.
You need not use the throttle at all, unless you want power when you're not pedaling. Also you can modulate the throttle, the less you twist, the lower the power provided.
When riding, I select a suitable mode below my desired speed and then pedal up to my speed. At this point, it's pure, normal exercise. To rest, I pedal less forcefully and the bike picks up the assist when I coast down to the mode's speed. If I stop pedaling, the assist stops as well.
If you want more discrete power/speed choices, you can configure the bike for 0-7 or 0-9 modes. (With the H9, you can also configure the power levels for each mode to tailor the speed choices.)
Here's how:
Go to the menus (hold + and - together for 3 seconds), use + / - to highlight the Advanced menu, press the info button to open it, use + / - to highlight Assist Levels and press the Info button to select (0-5 will be highlighted), use + / - to change the setting to 0-9, press Info to set it, and a menu panel will open, press Info to step though each of the 9 options until the panel closes, + / - to get to BACK and press Info, + / - to EXIT and press Info. This gives your bike power modes 0-9, instead of the default 0-5.
Now for the exercise. Don't use the throttle. When riding in any mode, pedaling will provide assist up to the limit for that mode. If you want to go faster, you will need to pedal. Start with mode (1) and pedal. The motor will assist to get you going and take you up the top speed for that mode, at this point you can pedal as hard as you wish, using the shifter to get the speed and exercise you desire. For motor assist up to a higher speed, press + for a higher mode.
Changing the configuration as above, the bike will have more discrete modes/speeds, so you have more speed choices for the assist.
Also, you can select Mode 0, which will effectively turn off the motor altogether.
@@ebike_reviews thanks so much!! As soon as it stops raining I’m going to try this :)
EVIL! 😱🫥👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾
Definitely a wicked bike!🙂
