Excellent Review JM, The Wallke X3 MAX has a lot going for it! I'm also 5-8 and surprised to see you fit a 26" bike this well. I still like my T42, and 20AH internal battery is good but with 2000W total, A 2nd battery on the rear rack would help a lot. Do you think there's room for a battery blender in the frame or would it have to be external?
Thanks@@JeremiahMcintosh, I'm still luvin the GF T42 you sold me in 2022. It and wife's AULOOR easily fit in my small Scion XD hatchback. So, the X3 MAX might require a new car too.
I love my dual motor model, only use both motors ten percent of my rides but is needed where I choose to ride,put Heb tires on before first ride (save knoby for snow) wanted folding to drag into 4+4van with a ramp , won't need to upgrade from this model, maybe 20inch dual motor fat tire when I grow up, Peace Thank You for presentation wonderful
Thats a good point Mark. There are occasions when trail riding that AWD would help a lot. But most of the time, 1 motor is sufficient and saves battery. What kind of range do you get?
I have a 2023 X3 Pro and love it. It also has squeaks and rattles, but as long as it affect the operation of the bike, I pretty much leave it alone unless I can pin point where its coming from. I've been looking at the E-Cells 5 Star recently and wondering, in your experience from testing both, which you prefer.
From personal experience unless you need a folder, I prefer the five star because it has a higher top speed a 60v battery and has better gearing for high-speed peddling. This X3 pro is about $400 cheaper tho. If you do decide on the five star though, please use my coupon code JEM100 to save $100!

Frame creaking try making it tighter on the hinge latch. Back the head out a little bit so it is a tighter/harder to close the latch. Frame noise alone is enough for me to say I'll pass on it. When the day of quality ends in China we're all in big trouble.
I assumed it was the same as the H7 and H9 but after I took it out and looked which I usually do I noticed it was a little bit different so I had to overlay some text.
I always enjoy your Ebike reviews and in fact purchased my first Haybike Mars after your review several years ago. I'm again in the market and would like to see you review the new Haybike Mars 2.0 1000 watt Ebike if you get the chance. Thanks for doing these reviews.
The motor noise looks because the controller is cutting the power at a specific speed to limit the overall speed, that is a bad controller PID tuning. The best PID tuning means that the cutoff is smooth and keeps the power flowing to achieve a certain speed but what is happening it cuts the power sharply to the point the motor has no power then because the speed decreases the controller turns on the power sharply again to maintain the desired speed which make the motor jumps and as long as the controller tries to maintain a specific speed it going through this loop and doing that over and over which make that noise that you are wondering of. That is my analysis and I might be correct or mistaken. I hope it helps.
Are you 5'5? The way the seat height is in proportion to your short legs and torso, makes me think you are 5'4-5'6. Just wondering because I'm 6'2 and wondering if this bike is good for me.
What a waste . It's too big to take in a car. It's got 2 1000 watt motors and 52 ah controller and a 20 ah battery ? That's like buying a 5 ah Ebike when you divide that battery between the 2 motors. You'll have a bike that can go around 6 miles max before you are hand pushing this home . 😮
@@JeremiahMcintoshYes maybe more but compared to Wllakes single 1000 watt bikes with 40 and 60 ah batteries I don't know what they went backwards to a very small battery when you factor in the power it needs to run 2 big motors and a heavy bike.
I have this bike and it fits in the back of my 2 door jeep, i put it in a tote and it’s not bad to get in. It gets around 20 miles of range using the throttle only

@johnw65 I’m not 100% sure but I think the battery blender would fit inside the frame.

I believe the noise is motor drag, from the front motor during torque distributed caused by the front suspension system.

My lectric xp does this creak and it’s the metal stretching at the hinge
Great video, thanks. Do you reckon are the 26" tyres much of an advantage over 20" tyres on a bike?
They may have wanted to start with some 25 amp controllers or a 50 amp.. Corrections in specs seem to come only after many vloggers mentioning

Thanks for sticking around and watching! No plans for that one currently but possibly in the future.

For the same price, what bike do you recommend????
Zeegr s1
If it had a 5 setting it would do about 37mph also.
Some fancy one handed riding you did. 😂

Im 5’8”
Feel sorry for those homes near the train tracks.. 😮
Haha I grew up next to train tracks and you get used to it.
All the noises coming from that bike would drive me crazy...
The vibration was the headlight but I haven’t pinpointed the squeak yet. I’m thinking maybe the suspension.
Three bikes are for nubes. Low seat position and no pedaling for starters sucky position for knees.

36amp controller. And it depends how you ride but it’s not constantly putting out 36amps. You’ll get way more mileage than 6miles.
