1. Dual Motor vs Single Motor: A Reflection on Two Power Philosophies

Dual motor eBikes once dominated the market with powerful torque, all-wheel drive, and strong performance, offering an exciting ride. However, this comes with increased complexity, placing higher demands on weight, energy management, and system calibration.

Through feedback from Wallke riders, we found that while many seek more power, they also value lightness, long range, and easy maintenance:

  • “Dual motor power is impressive, but I also want the bike to be lighter and have longer range.”
  • “I expect the power system to remain stable over time and be easier to maintain.”
  • “Instead of balancing dual motors, I prefer a strong single motor with direct response and smooth output.”

These insights led us to rethink what "performance" truly means—it’s not just about power, but balancing weight, range, reliability, and ease of use.

Wallke’s R&D team optimized the bike’s design, controller algorithms, and energy management, proving that a well-tuned single motor can deliver similar power to a dual motor while being lighter, offering longer range, and requiring less maintenance:

  • Simplified structure for increased reliability
  • Reduced weight for more agile handling
  • Consistent power output for a smoother and more effortless ride

After extensive testing, we realized that many riders prefer an efficient, lighter, and easier-to-manage power solution over just more motors.

Thus, Wallke focused on developing high-performance single motor systems—integrating design and smart control to ensure powerful, efficient, and reliable performance with reduced weight. True riding power lies in refined, focused technology.

2. The Engineering Truth: Power Isn’t Just About Quantity

Let’s talk engineering for a moment.
A motor’s performance depends on torque, efficiency curve, and power delivery — not just the number of motors.

  • A high-torque mid or rear hub motor can outperform a dual-motor setup on real hills if it delivers power more efficiently.
  • A well-tuned controller can optimize current and temperature management, extending both performance and motor lifespan.
  • And fewer components mean less energy loss, less heat, and higher overall system efficiency.

So while “dual motor” might sound like double performance, it’s often just double complexity.

Our latest single-motor systems feature:

  • Optimized torque curves for steep hill performance
  • Precision current control for smooth acceleration
  • Reduced energy loss through simplified drive architecture
  • Better weight balance for stable handling
  • 18-MOSFET controller design — upgraded from 12-MOSFETs used in most eBikes. The higher current capacity means more stable output and far lower burnout risk for high-power motors.

The result: a ride that feels powerful, natural, and effortless — not just “louder.”

3. Why Wallke Is Returning to Single Motor

After weighing innovation against practicality, Wallke made a bold yet calculated move:

Starting with our 2025 new model, all Wallke eBikes will feature a next-generation single high-efficiency motor system.

That includes our all-new Titan X1 carbon frame flagship, and the upgraded 2026 H7 Ultra / H9 Ultra series. — each refined for better torque response, lower energy loss, and smarter control.

This shift isn’t a step back — it’s a refinement forward.

We’re focusing on:
Simpler structure – easier to maintain, lighter to ride
Optimized torque curve – more usable power for everyday terrain
Longer range – less energy loss and better battery efficiency
Lower maintenance cost – fewer parts, fewer problems
Cleaner design – lightweight, balanced, and beautifully integrated

 

And for those who dream of going even further off-grid, Wallke’s new PowerStorage Battery — the world’s first Off-Grid PowerStorage eBike Battery — was designed specifically for the 2026 H7/H9 Ultra series, while remaining fully compatible with  H7/H9 AWD models.
It’s not just a battery — it’s a new way to connect power, freedom, and sustainability in every ride.

4. Our Philosophy: Smart Power Over Raw Power

From the very beginning, Wallke was built by riders who refused to follow the crowd.
We believe technology should serve the rider — not overwhelm them.

We don’t chase trends for the sake of trends — we challenge them.
That spirit still drives every decision we make today — including our move to return to single-motor design in an era obsessed with dual motors.

Our goal isn’t to chase numbers like “2 motors” or “1500W x 2,” but to design systems that feel natural, responsive, and dependable.
True innovation isn’t about adding more — it’s about making every part work smarter.

That’s why the Titan X1, H7 Ultra, and H9 Ultra mark the next evolution of Wallke engineering — a new era of intelligent single-motor performance.

Conclusion: The Future Is Focused

We’re not saying dual-motor bikes are wrong — they’re exciting, and they have their place in extreme terrain and adventure rides.
But for 95% of riders who want reliable power, long range, and simple maintenance, a well-engineered single motor simply makes more sense.

Wallke’s 2025 lineup represents that philosophy — power that’s not just stronger, but smarter.

    Will the new battery work the older h7 ?

    Your argument for single motor ignores traction (AWD) and redundancy. With AWD, one motor fails, you can get home on the other.

    Im 63,bad knees. 3kw battery , range is no problem..i have your 2024 H9 awd, single controller.. i have 7,000 km in 7 months.. only dislike, no torque up hill.. steep street roads. Not safe going from 35 mph down to 11 mph. My next ebike will be a 72v (amps dont change, so wiring will be the same, more or less) i am hoping to get a larger diameter motor for torque..and speed of 45-50 mph max, torque hopefully of 400 n.m., Wired ebike is close but too fast, less torque.. i am hoping others are expressing my same thoughts, and maybe future you and ADD this style bike to your LINE of ebikes.. your frames are very strong to handle a 72v high torque drive system and fit a 40AH 72v in same compartment. I think many 60+ year people like myself have plenty of money to buy a ebike that can trailer the grandkids across the busy road, swiftly.

    Are new H9 ultra single motor going to pick up their speed as fast as the dual motor
