If you're looking for a fast ebike that also gets long range the Wallke H6 could satisfy - it's got a 1600w peak power motor and a reasonably large 2000-ish watt-hour battery mounted in a position that benefits handling. At nearly 100 lbs it's not a light electric bike, but there really aren't any big battery long range ebikes that don't require a huge effort from your legs. Ebikes all have there trade off's, this one has a nice balance of power and range, and it's somewhat portable because it is a folding electric bike, but the large battery hinders that portability - fortunately it is a removable battery since it weighs 20 lbs.

I love how competitive the e-bike market has gotten. Performance/range seems to keep going up while prices are improving as well. This is good for our future.
True! Did see a video of someone suggesting more of a universal upgradability for all e bikes. I do agree that so many bikes have batteries, controllers, lcd screens, dropout size, racks, lights, and so on that are proprietary. More parts should be interchangeable. 6 different motor cable pinouts, and controller connectors never seem to be the same design, but all do the same functions in the end. So much e waste could be avoided. The second-hand market would be full of interchangeable parts, making DIY and upgradeabilty affordable. Any time I upgrade my bike, it always has to be new parts, and I'm left with not so easy to sell "almost new" stock parts someone could use if they had a broken part and just wanted a cheap used part to get back riding. Sounds great! If parts weren't so bike to bike specific...
Competition is the mother of innovation(and hopefully price reduction)...
Yep Just like with everything else Competition brings the prices down eventually. There’s just so many e-bikes on the market nowadays, it makes it tough to compare that’s where prices start to come in 😄
your reviews are my personal favorite
Bro thanks taking time to purchase this bike for review definitely will get this bike for school and food deliveries
Wallke does sell a front battery kit for $620. It comes with 20 amp hour batt., 3 amp charger, keys, and installation kit.
What a bargain!
The bike I’d have bought if they sold it in the UK. In the end I built a 50ah Engwe Engine X … managed to do 50 miles on level 5 and I was down to 2 bars, next day switched it on and was showing 3 bars.
I think 40ah is the sweet spot, it’s enough range, the fact that this bike comes with 4 pot brakes and 203’s shows they care about safety over cost.
Thing is, what’s the freewheel? It would be great if ebike manufacturers woke up to the fact that 204 bikes need an 11/34 out of the box, pretty much negates the use of a throttle on inclines which would help out us living under draconian ebike laws in Europe.
Another great review … it’s always sunny in LA.
Rotor size with my simple science changes depending on wheel size. 203 is awesome but being a 20 is ridiculously good vs a 26 with 203! Crazy!
Great reviews! I'd love to see some LIGHTWEIGHT folding bikes on your testing path though.
I'm a GA pilot looking for lightweight folding mostly pavement bikes with a decent range.
Suggestions?
Interesting, i do like that it folds up and the range, it may be a contender for when i get a second bike, it sells for $2561 Canadian
They need to offer a version of this bike with just the small battery as standard, with big one as extra. This is a good format for those who plan long trips next summer, as opposed to wanting extra weight every day riding. The smaller battery needs more info/reviews too.
I LOVED MY H6MAX I got it November 30th 2023 & I hit 1000 miles in less than 2 months. On February 3rd 2024 it was stolen while I was inside a store for less than 10 minutes, I had it locked up with a U Lock but was never able to get it back sadly because the "Apple Find My" built in software didn't work AT ALL. I paid an extra few hundred for this model rather than the other options because of this GPS software specifically & it failed me.. Wallke Customer Support offered 0 help, I was a "Representative" on their website also & the only thing they offered me was "$100 off" so disappointing...
Bro, I LOVE the content you put out! I’ve been binge watching a bunch of your videos lately! New subscriber! Man I love the area where you live! I’m assuming you’re in Cali somewhere?
Los Angeles
@@TailHappyTVnice! Cali is on the bucket list for sure! Keep doing your thing bro!
I love your channel, you do the best e-bike reviews on youtube....... Which of the long range e-bikes do you like best? I'm looking at buying the Eahora Juliet, Aniioki A8 Pro Max, or the Wallke H6 Max and I wonder which you would recommend and why. I'm a bigger guy, 6 foot and 260lbs if that makes a difference
Eahora has a new bike released on Dec 13 I believe it was, eahora hedonic cupid 1000w, I'm waiting on it to arrive for myself. I'm 6' and 180lbs
Have you noticed all the new bikes with big batteries are using Chinese made batteries. I know they are doing this to keep costs down. But in the past everyone was looking for name brand batteries from companies like Samsung, LG, Panasonic for bikes. But now the question is how long will these new batteries last. 30 amp - 60 amp batteries are very expensive to replace.
this brand uses samsung batteries
@@trancespired Please see the video review. In the beginning the reviewer shows a close up of the battery. The mfg. of the battery is Shenzhen Yuanda New Energy Co. Ltd. This is a Chinese Co. not Samsung.
Logically, even if it's not name brand battery you charge it 3 times as less, so even if you don't get as many charge cycles as a name brand the bigger size will still out last the smaller size name brand
@@Vicki-gz3vt I agree. Are you sure you did not play Mr. Spock on Star Trek; he always used logic in his calculations.👍
Great video bro, question wich one youd choose, this wallke, the aniioki or the eahora Juliet for delivery working?
Juliet
I recently purchased the Wallke H9 AWD. They advertise to have 750w front and 1000w rear motors but mine is stamped 500 front and 750 rear. Can you look into it when you review the Wallke H9 AWD. thank you
Sorry for the misunderstanding.The motor has a sticker with power on it for the first batch and 500/750 without watts were not power.
Can you please try to get the eAhora P5 SE Electric Bike. It looks amazing and I would like to see you review it.
I bought of these. Going to try slapping a 72v battery in it. 👌🏼
pls get the second battery and do the the santa monica- skid row - hollywood sign range test 😲😂
Nice Matt. I've watched your Aniioki reviews, Eahora, and G-Force reviews.
I was about to "pull the trigger" on the G-Force as you mentioned in your review of the handling.
However, I discovered the Wallke H6 Max with the dual battery kit, making it an equal 60 Ah total as the others. So Black Friday I pulled bought the Wallke and received it Tuesday.
So my stable not has a Specialized Como 5.0 IGH (that CVT is awesome), a 2024 Wired Freedom, and now the Wallke H6 Max.
Matt, thanks for your reviews.
How do you like it so far?
Pls Review the 2000 Watts Deep Power H20 Pro. Because I'm planning to buy it next Year.
Can you tell me which is better, this or the Rundeer Attack10?
You should add a Playlist of the ebikes you've tested for beach use
I would consider buying this bike. It seems like it could keep up in traffic.
Bought this bike a few days ago, gonna get it soon
How do you like it so far?
@@brianjoe1425 So far it's been great, it's fast, it's battery life feels as advertised, and feels smooth. what I would say is that it is definitely heavy. I think for the money it's worth it
It's also a lot bigger than I imagined which is great
@@michaeltrinh5279 good deal. Yea video is so much different than real life. I thought same thing when I saw my Engwe Engine Pro for the first time. I just bought the H6 max today.
@@brianjoe1425 I'm sure you'll enjoy it, I definitely feel like I got my money's worth so far.
I have this bike H6Max for 2 weeks. You can get it for $1499 out the door. It is amazing ebike, love the compact and agility of it when riding. Great range and great bike. Great video always thank you
I have the x3 pro, almost wish I got the max, but it came out after I got mine. Been loving the walke bike, 26 in tires make it smoother, but it's a huge folder
@@ahkraelthe X3pro has 20 AH battery but the H6 Max has 40 AH double for only $200 more. Well worth it. Agreed Wallke makes great ebike!
What about the rear seat? What kind of weight would that take? I have a child for school runs.
Great video. Love your reviews
It's really not suitable for a passenger at all. I put an aftermarket seat with back and foot pegs, much safer option
@@comandreja cool. You got a link or name of the seat you put on?
since the WALLKE h6 max 48v 40 ah is not a Samsung battery will it have to be replaced after like a year?
I’m just asking cause I’m trying to see how much a replacement will cost but I can’t even find one to see what the cost would be. Not even on the WALLKE website. They only have the Samsung battery.
Amazon Canada has the WALLKE h6 max for 1699 cad + 300 shipping scared to buy it and 1 year later battery dies.
They are currently running a promotion with a $600 discount, but unfortunately, there are few videos about the H9 now. Do you know which one is better, the H6 or the H9?😘
I was thinking this was dual motor version till he hit the sand. I'm thinking about the H9 AWD with a 60 amp battery.
Always watch dudes reviews but gahdamn he can make a bike look goofy with a seat all the way up😂😂
Question for TailHappyTV, I only ride pavement and weight 200 lbs and usually ride 20 miles a day. What ebike would you reamend ?
if you over 5'6" tall the bikes without a adjustable seat won't work--he never mentions this--i bought a euy he highly recommended and i can hardly work the peddals,i am 6'2"-gave it to my friends daughter-she is 5'4"--works for her--really it depends on what your budget is--i would not have any bike with out full supension--wal mart has a ton of bikes what your looking for very cheap--he has lots of videos on youtube
I have a pedal electric at 5 6 and feel too short on it. Definitely a good tall person bike for pavement.
I see him mention this all the time, most often with the unadjustable moped style bikes. He says they are not what you want if you are tall and want exercise, it will be quite uncomfortable to pedal. He still mentions it quite often with other bikes, like going with the Eahora Juliet over the Romeo because of the adjustable seat. Know what you want going in and how the different styles are good or bad for that.
Do you sell any of the bikes you do reviews on by any chance?
What bike seems more reliable, the H6 or the H9?
One question where can i get a good Samsung 20ah battery?
Which would you buy between the Eahora juliet and the Walkee h6 max of those two were your only choice? Great videos BTW! Thank you
H6 MAX
Do u have an Amazon link. This bike as of 5-13-24 is 500$ less on Amazon than on the Wallke website. I’d like to support you but can’t support the extra cost, unless I’m missing something. Also one the website using your link the item is out of stock but available without the link for 2k$. I intend to buy 2 H9. Thanks.
So.... is this ebike (I called it a 'scooter' earlier, my bad) legal to ride on public roads in California? I really hope so, it looks very promising for my commute. It's only about nine miles, but there are three significant hills included.
Seems like the '1600w peak power' makes it too large (CA state max: '1000w')....
Thank you!
Technically any bike that can exceed 28 mph is legally a motorcycle, not a bike.
Why is there so much concern about the top speed of the bike? Matt shows you how to access the settings menu, you can just dial the speed limit of the bike to a class 2/3 speed, if the cops scare you that much. For some people it's preferable anyway, ebikes have an inverse relationship with speed and range where breaking the speed limit will give you diminishing returns.
@@patbaitman3357 because bike trails are also walking trails and going 30mph on a walking trail is dangerous. People are not responsible. Just look at sur ron videos.. People doing wheelies in traffic and running stop lights etc.
@@cynic256 That comment I made was regarding the rider's preference, not for everyone around them. The problem with cops solving the issue by enforcing permits for trails is that, first, they're already pretty incompetent about ebike laws in the first place, as Matt can just scoot by on the trail by lowering the speed and acting normal. Secondly, if they do enforce it for all bikes on the market, someone can make a stealth bomber bike from custom parts and skip registration using a non-serialized bike and choose any speed the battery and motor allows. Third, if the ebike battery is removed, it can become a normal bike and wouldn't be able to go that fast until the battery was inserted and plugged in.
If you're concerned about your own safety and just need to walk, consider a workout bike at home or a gym membership until this blows over.
You should check off the GT 20 bike
That Zreo Start feature is hard to find
Nice bike and battery, no range test? Show us the beautiful LA scenery, pimpin aint eezy
is it water proof?
Hi Tall happy man you still haven't painted your wall ?
I want a review of the H9!!!
I've never heard him say this channels name after watching about 80+ videos of his overtime. He mentions Juiced Joy Rides a good amount, but I've never heard him say this channels name himself.. Over a year of watching and 80+ videos... I now know it's "TAIL" Happy TV.. I thought it was "Trail" Happy TV... 😂 Now I feel like "Trail" makes way more sense, so I'll keep calling it "Trail" Happy TV in my mind lol.
😆

Who cares, it’s all about the content here, not telling everyone about the name of my channel or to click subscribe or like or any of that 🤙⚡️
@TailHappyTV I wonder if any dog lovers come through here and end up with a giant e bike box at their doorstep a week later. Courtesy of "Tail" Happy Tv's top-notch reviews. At least they can keep up with their doggo and enjoy a new hobby! 😁 Love the content, Cheers!
i have the best e bike on the market. triple battery 22ah, 22ah, 35ah for 79 total amp hours, dual 1000 watt motors, full blinkers, headlight, mirrors, full suspension, magnesium rims, aluminum frame, rear rack with large basket, back pegs for rear rack seat, 155 miles range single motor at 20mph. 35mph top speed, alarm, key fob, hydraulic breaks, 180mm rotors. $2400
Dude, what e-bike is that? I want to do a ride from San Diego, ca to Seattle, wa… and back.
That sounds like the Yolin bike I've seen on Aliexpress. Would you be willing to post a video review of it?
@@chem.4919 i actually will. not sure when. ive never seen anyone on youtube with this bike so yeah soon i will. ill try to come back here and update when i do.
Yeah, I've looked all over for a video review. I only found one and it was an older model. Anyway thanks in advance! @@CIBERXGAMING
So which bike do you like this one or the Walkie H9 ?
h9!
Dude, you could make videos of you just kicking open boxes. :)
need to know range at 25mph on bike. i am looking for bike that can have rack for cargo and be able to go at 25mph and have range of 50miles or more. since need to go 25mph do to fact long drive or ride in CFL area of FL near coca beach area. since college i want to ride bike to is 18miles one way. and need bike that can go 50miles or more at 25mph so does not take 1 1/2 hours to get to place
Wow 35mph thats as fast as a 50cc scooter
And now they have the h9 dual motor version
What is the difference between the h6, h7 and h9?
H6 only has a single Motor(750W for H6 32ah, 1000w for H6 max 40ah)
H7 has option for single or dual motor and has a step through frame but can not be folded
H9 has dual motors mostly built like the H6(one 1000w and one 750W)
$1900 for the bike $680 for the second battery. Yikes. The battery reading when turning the bike on and off is unsettling. 48% to 70% is quite a huge power metering error
It's s5 controller and KD display "feature". Voltage never goes up. It is pretty normal for significant voltage sag to occur when pumping out 1600w continuously. It's a feature you can live with because controller will adjust PAS levels down to save battery as you go harder. Can just increase your PAS level. Display/controller should support 9 levels. The bigger problem with display is no watt/amp indicator.
The battery reading on this bike can be changed to voltage which is very accurate
They now offer this bike with dual motors for $200 more (H9). They also upgraded the suspension and offer a 60ah and 80ah option. Who else offers 80ah?
Only thing that sucks is they built the h9 for tall people I am only 5'6" minimum height is showing 5'10...why would they do that? I would totally buy it otherwise
@@willr3823 It should be fine. I'm 5'5" and I have an aerial rider X-class. The ground to seat on that is 34 inches vs the H9 that is 35.4 inches. I went to the bike store and measured from ground to top of sest (35.4") and rode their display model. It was fine for me. My inseam is 30 inches. If your inseam is lower than that, I wouldn't get it. Added I tested it with thin sandals lol.
Once I put on my thick Nikes, it will be fine. I ordered mine the other day. Super excited. Good luck!
That's to fit the 60ah battery (which is a lot taller than the 40ah)@@willr3823
💯‼️
im usually not a fan of the folding bikes but this is a nice one ....peace out
These H6 max's are out of stock 😔😔😔 i want one!!
I just wish that people using bicycles (of any kind) would follow the traffic laws like the cagers have too.
I thought it came with two batteries??
What the max range 170 pas what the real world range on this ebike
Q1. Why couldn't Wallke just have the bike set up for a second battery instead of having to install it yourself? It seems Wallke is charging You for the installation.😢
Q2. Can You start using Google Maps speedometer (it appears on car mode) We all can relate that way. According to my speed test with Google maps; Wallke's top speed is Exaggerated by 3mi/hr. Google Maps results 30mi/hr Wallke 33/hr.
And The range for a 185lb. Is 35mi. (Doing food delivery).
Just guessing but I think they assume most people will be more than happy with the range and not shell out the 620$ for the second battery. If that's the case installing the extra parts is a useless expense.
@@comandreja YA 620 is outrageous for 20 amp battery you have to install yourself. If anything it should cost less for the labor.
The Google maps speedometer can also be found on the cycling directions 👍🏻
@@iandavis5189 Ya... I'd forgot. Thanks for reminding me.
Aaah! Second....
Can u send me that bike ?

Stopped watching s soon as we heard Apple. Thanks for trying, though. Lol.
$1499 for a 40ah 35mph bike. Why all the Wired Freedom fanboys for a bike that goes 3mph faster, half the range and is $2300?
😂😂This bike looks like a clown car with inferior 20x4 tires and a crap rear suspension. 35mph vs 40mph and the Wired has much better acceleration and hill climb. This one is great for Uber eats, not so much for off road. Just wait until they add a second battery option for the Wired bikes, then it will dominate the long range category as well.😀
Yeah, didn't take long for a Wired shill to comment. I think their last excuse was a container of ebikes got lost and that's why they are not being shipped.
@@flyiniowa6255Where is my food order? 😂😂😂.
@@jfly2249 Sorry......I have a Wired Freedom and I ran out of battery. Your fries were getting cold so I ate them. 😂
@@flyiniowa6255If you actually watched the review, the battery range sucked big time. Wired bikes have great range because you can actually pedal without looking like a clown. How many watt hours is 35ah at 60v? This bike, I’d keep walkeing.
Do not purchase this bike!
600 miles on the bike everything has started to fall apart! The hub motor is not working correctly and it is right next to a brake pad where it gets frayed and cut on it - terrible design flaw!
At 1000w that bike is illegal to take on any public road in 42 states including CA. Not surprised to see you doing so. As a Jeff Spicoli rules and laws are suggestions to you. I'm surprised you're not doing wheelies in school yards.

Its not 1600w, it's 1000. Anyone who pushes the unprovable and nebulous "peak" watts instead of the truth to potential buyers is just a corporate shill. What else are you misrepresenting?
Somewhere around 1300w+. Area13 dynoed it.
