It’s undeniable how popular electric motorcycles of the top force have become. And a quick way to get more power without having to go through a ridiculously giant motor is to just double up, put a motor in the wheels of a bike. This is what Wallke did with the Wallke H7 AWD, and the result is a fast electric motorcycle that is as tough as it is giant, i. e. very.

That may be an issue for some people, but it will be a selling point for others. Many riders want something they can ride fast without needing to pedal, but keep in mind that such a feature usually means you’ll have issues trying to pass this off a street-legal electric bicycle. If that matters or not in your jurisdiction is an important disticintion that you’ll want to look up. Some states are cracking down, while others don’t seem to care.
A giant component of the Wallke H7 AWD’s top speed is thanks to its dual-motor design. The torque of 1,000 W motors is a forged 2,000 W of non-stop force and closer to 3,200 W of complex force. This is transferred through a set of 20 × 4. 0″ grease tires and is enough to lift gravel in all the instructions you choose. Again, it is a serious force that requires serious responsibility, for which the rider has been warned.
To save this energy, a proportional battery. The 48V 60AH battery is removable, but it’s one of the largest I’ve noticed in a retail electric motorcycle. They don’t post diversity diversity, but based on my testing, moderate throttle speeds deserve transparent riders at least 75 miles of range. Pedal assist can take the motorcycle much further, if you really need to pedal a 130 lb. electric motorcycle.
The Wallke H7 AWD rides decently well, but it’s a bit janky at top speed. There’s some weird flutter that I would get in the rear end at around 31-33 mph. I could never quite place it, as it’s a bit hard to feel around behind you at such speeds, but I think it’s likely either the rear fender or the kickstand. Either could be slightly resonating with vibrations or fluttering in the wind, but I can’t be sure it really is either. Suffice it to say that something was slightly dancing around for me at the top end.
The suspension is also welcome but not exactly top-notch either. Hitting bumps results in a symphony of sounds originating from the bike’s center, likely resulting from a combination of the battery, suspension, fender, and perhaps the kickstand. The suspension does help the ride, but this is a heavy bike, and you’re going to feel the bumps even with 4″ of air-filled rubber and a few springs underneath you.
I’ll also say that while the bike can be pedal-assisted, the gearing only makes it comfortable up to around 20 mph or so. I can reasonably pedal up to 25 mph, but any faster and I just can’t comfortably keep up – the gearing just isn’t high enough in top gear.
So while there are some issues like the ones I discussed above, there are some great features, too.
The color display is attractive, and probably larger than the maximum an electric motorcycle would expect directly from consumers. The brakes are also very impactful, which is vital for a fast and heavy electric motorcycle. The Piston Piston’s hydraulic disc brake is a welcome addition.
LED lighting accessories are intelligent enough and the lighthouse enough to drive at night, illuminating the cycle trace in front of me so that it can detect blocks of stumbling blocks on my path. However, the lighthouse vibrates a little at the upper speeds, which means that its ignition can shake a little and fall a little.
And then there’s the value. In the existing sale worth US$2,199, it is a large number of motorcycles at a fairly moderate value. Remember that you get a shoe rack of elegance here, more or less, so it’s hard to directly compare to the maximum “normal” electric motorcycles. But you get about 4 times the amount of power and battery as a “normal” electric motorcycle, and the value is not that greater.
That said, you can obtain more electronic Cushy methods and more comfortable to reduce numbers elsewhere. So the explanation of why I would buy the Wallke H7 AWD is enough for strength and scope, and not much more. In this regard, He, He, He, He offers what he promises. This motorcycle will take you away and let your socks fall while doing it.
Just be sure to ride responsibly and when appropriate. Fast and difficult e-bikes are fun, but they’re not for everyone and they’re not for everyone.
