If you’ve been hunting for an e-bike that can do everything—commuting, weekend trail rides, steep hills, winter snow, even light cargo duty—the Wallke X3 Pro Max probably already caught your eye. On paper it looks wild: dual hub motors with a claimed 2800W peak, a massive 48V 44Ah dual-battery system, full suspension and 26" x 4.0" fat tires, all wrapped in a foldable aluminum frame.
This is not a minimalist city e-bike. It’s a big, heavy, overbuilt machine aimed at riders who care more about power, range and capability than shaving a few pounds. With UL2849 system certification and UL2271-certified battery packs, Wallke is also clearly trying to calm the fire-safety worries that surround high-power e-bikes.
In this review we’ll walk through what it’s like to live with the Wallke X3 Pro Max: who it’s best for, how the dual motors and huge battery change the riding experience, where it shines, and which compromises you should know about before you hit “buy”.
Quick Verdict
The Wallke X3 Pro Max is a high-power, long-range folding fat-tire e-bike built for riders who want more of everything: more torque, more battery, more payload, more terrain options. The dual 48V hub motors (up to 2,800W peak) and 44Ah battery pack deliver punchy acceleration and genuinely impressive range, while the 3mm-thick full-suspension frame and 26" x 4.0" tires keep things controllable on rough surfaces.
The trade-offs are straightforward: this bike is heavy (about 114.6 lb), tall, and overkill for flat, short urban commutes. It’s not the bike you casually carry upstairs or squeeze into a crowded train. But if you’re a heavier rider, live in hilly areas, like to explore dirt roads, or simply want an e-bike that feels almost unstoppable, the X3 Pro Max delivers a lot of value for its asking price.

What Is the Wallke X3 Pro Max?
Wallke has been in the e-bike game since 2018 and claims over 150,000 riders worldwide. The X3 series is their folding fat-tire line; the X3 Pro Max sits at the top of that family as the dual-battery, dual-motor flagship.
It combines:
- A folding 26" fat-tire frame with full suspension
- Dual hub motors driving both wheels for all-wheel drive traction
- A huge 48V 44Ah dual battery system (internal + rear-rack)
- A UL2849-certified electrical system and UL2271-certified battery for safety
- Integrated rear rack, fenders, lighting and app-connected display
Unlike many generic fat-tire bikes that just chase big numbers, Wallke puts a lot of emphasis on not exaggerating specs and on certifying the bike to proper safety standards. The X3 Pro Max is marketed as a “go-anywhere, do-anything” machine: daily commuting, weekend trail riding, snow and sand, even light cargo or hunting duty.
In short: it’s a long-range, all-terrain SUV of an e-bike, not a light city runabout.

Who Is the Wallke X3 Pro Max Best For?
Ideal For
- Heavier or taller riders who need a bike that actually feels solid under a 220–300 lb body plus gear. The 400 lb payload rating and 3mm-thick frame make a clear difference here.
- Hilly suburbs and rural routes where long climbs and fast descents are part of daily riding. The AWD dual-motor setup is built for exactly this.
- All-terrain riders who go from pavement to gravel, snow, sand or forest tracks and want the stability of 26" x 4.0" fat tires plus full suspension.
- Long-distance commuters or tourers who routinely ride 20–50+ miles in a day and dislike range anxiety.
- Riders who like to tinker with settings—speed limits, PAS levels, single vs dual motor—and want a bike that can be dialed from mellow to wild.
Not Ideal For
- Riders under about 5'6" or with a short inseam. With a 31.5" standover and relatively tall minimum seat height, many shorter riders will struggle to flat-foot at stops.
- Anyone who needs to carry the bike upstairs regularly. At well over 100 lb, this is a “roll it, don’t lift it” kind of machine.
- Strict Class 1/2 trail environments where speeds above 20–28 mph and throttles are not allowed. While you can limit the bike, it’s clearly designed for higher-speed riding.
- Minimalists and city riders who only need a lightweight, simple e-bike for 2–5 mile trips.
Budget & Value Positioning
The X3 Pro Max sits in the upper mid-range price tier for consumer e-bikes. You’re paying more than you would for a typical 750W, 15–20Ah fat-tire bike—but you’re also getting:
- A battery pack more than double the capacity of many competitors
- Dual motors with AWD and up to 2800W peak output
- Full suspension, 4-piston hydraulic brakes and UL-certified electronics
For riders who can make use of that power and range, the value is compelling. For someone who only rides on flat bike paths for 10 minutes a day, this is over-spec’d and you’d be better off with a simpler, lighter, cheaper bike.
Design, Frame & Build Quality
The first thing you notice about the Wallke X3 Pro Max is that it looks substantial. The welds on the 3mm-thick aluminum frame are chunky but tidy, the paint has a semi-matte automotive finish, and the integrated graphics give it a modern, slightly aggressive personality.
Frame & Folding Design
Wallke uses a 3mm-thick aluminum main frame rather than the 1–1.5mm tubing you see on many budget folders. The difference is not only marketing: the frame feels noticeably more rigid, especially around the hinge and rear triangle.
The bike uses a four-bar linkage rear suspension with a central shock hidden near the bottom bracket. When you fold the bike, the frame breaks in the middle and the front triangle rotates towards the rear, making a compact package roughly 45 × 26 × 42 inches. It’s not a tiny fold—it’s still a full-size 26" fat-tire bike—but it will fit into many SUVs, hatchbacks and garage corners more easily than a rigid-frame fat bike.
The hinge is reinforced with thick plates and a locking clamp. Folding and unfolding take about 30 seconds once you’ve done it a few times. Because the bike is heavy, you don’t really “carry” it in folded mode; instead, you roll it by holding the frame or saddle.
Build Quality & Details
- Wiring: Most cables are internally routed or neatly zip-tied along the frame. Some wiring around the rear rack battery and dual-motor junction is visible, but it’s not messy.
- Rear rack: The integrated rack is welded into the frame, rated for about 55 lb, and designed to support the external 22Ah battery plus cargo.
- Fenders: Full-coverage metal or robust plastic fenders (depending on batch) do a good job of keeping spray off.
- Contact points: The saddle is a fairly wide, comfort-oriented design, and the flat handlebars offer a relaxed, slightly upright posture.
Overall, the bike feels closer to a small moped or utility vehicle than a fragile bicycle. That’s exactly what many heavy or aggressive riders are looking for.
Motor Performance & Speed
Power is the headline feature of the X3 Pro Max, so let’s start there.
The bike uses dual hub motors—one in the front wheel, one in the rear—driven by a 48V system and controlled through multiple modes: single motor, dual motor, throttle or pedal assist.
Wallke advertises a peak output of up to 2800W and a top speed of around 32–35 mph when fully unlocked. In practice, this means:
- Acceleration: In dual-motor mode with high PAS, the bike pulls hard from a standstill. It feels more like a light electric moped than a regular bicycle. On loose surfaces you’ll want to lean forward a bit to keep traction balanced.
- Cruising: On flat pavement, cruising at 22–28 mph in PAS 3–4 is easy. The motors produce a strong but manageable whirr; they’re audible, but not obnoxious.
- Single vs Dual Motor: Single motor mode (usually rear only) is useful for stretching range or riding on slippery surfaces where you don’t want too much front-wheel torque. Dual motor is where the fun and the climbing ability really show.
Hill-Climb Performance
Wallke claims the X3 Pro Max can handle 40° slopes, which is marketing-speak for “very steep hills”. Realistically, that translates into strong performance on the kind of 10–15% climbs that make many 750W bikes struggle.
On steep neighborhood hills:
- In dual-motor throttle-only, a typical 180–200 lb rider can expect to maintain roughly 15–20 mph on moderate climbs, slowing somewhat on really steep sections.
- With pedal assist plus an appropriate gear, it’s easy to keep momentum without feeling like you’re grinding the pedals.
- The bike doesn’t bog down as quickly when the hill drags on for a long time, thanks to the large battery and dual-motor setup.
If you live in a flat city, you may never need this much power. But in hilly terrain or when carrying cargo, the extra assistance is noticeable and makes routes feel shorter and less intimidating.
High-Speed Stability
High-speed riding is always a concern on fat-tire bikes. Thankfully, the X3 Pro Max’s long wheelbase, full-suspension chassis and 26" wheels give it a very planted feel at 25–30 mph. The steering is stable rather than twitchy, and the wide tires provide confidence in gentle curves.
Of course, this is a heavy bike; you still need to respect its mass and start braking early. But overall, the frame and component choices match the power level better than many lighter, flexy budget fat bikes.
Battery, Range & Charging
This is where the X3 Pro Max really separates itself from the crowd.
Dual 44Ah Battery System
The bike runs on a 48V 44Ah battery system, made up of:
- 22Ah internal battery inside the main frame
- 22Ah external battery mounted on the rear rack
Combined, that’s roughly 2,112 Wh of energy—more than double what you normally see in 48V 15–20Ah e-bikes. Wallke uses branded cells (Samsung-class A), and the pack is rated for 1000+ charge cycles.
Both batteries are lockable and removable. The rack battery is easy to slide out for indoor charging; the internal pack can also be removed if needed, but most owners will likely leave it in the frame and charge on the bike.
Claimed vs Realistic Range
Wallke advertises 80–170 miles of range, depending on mode and conditions. That higher number assumes light riders, low PAS levels, and moderate speeds. In the real world, your range will depend heavily on:
- Rider + cargo weight
- Terrain and wind
- Average speed
- Use of single vs dual motor
- Tire pressure and riding surface
Reasonable expectations for a ~180 lb rider:
- Dual motor, mixed throttle & PAS at 25–30 mph: roughly 40–60 miles before you’re really low on battery.
- Single motor, PAS 3 at ~18–22 mph: around 70–100 miles on rolling terrain.
- Eco riding in PAS 1–2 at 12–15 mph: hitting 120+ miles is plausible if you’re patient and ride efficiently.
Even if you never touch the marketing number, the practical takeaway is that range anxiety more or less disappears for typical daily use. For many riders, charging once or twice a week will be enough.
Charging
The bike typically ships with two 48V chargers, each around 3A, allowing you to charge both batteries simultaneously. Expect:
- 6–8 hours to go from low to full when charging both packs at once.
The charge ports are positioned so you can plug in without removing the batteries, and rubber covers help protect them from rain and dust.
Ride Comfort & Handling
Power and range don’t mean much if the bike is uncomfortable. Fortunately, the X3 Pro Max rides better than you might expect from such a heavy machine.
Comfort
- Riding position: The cockpit puts you in a slightly upright, relaxed stance—not completely cruiser-straight, but far from an aggressive mountain-bike lean. For long rides, this is a good middle ground.
- Saddle: The stock saddle is fairly thick and cushioned. Some riders may still prefer to swap to a personal favorite, but out of the box it’s more comfortable than the typical budget seat.
- Suspension:
- The hydraulic front fork absorbs potholes and curb drops without harsh bottom-outs when properly adjusted.
- The rear shock in the four-bar linkage helps keep the rear wheel glued to the ground over washboard and rocky sections, cutting down on the “hardtail kick” you often feel on rigid-rear fat bikes.
Wallke claims it can smooth out up to 80% of bumps, and while that’s impossible to measure precisely, the overall ride is notably plush compared with rigid-frame fat-tire machines.
- Tires: The 26" x 4.0" tires let you fine-tune comfort and grip via pressure. Run them a bit softer (e.g., 12–18 psi) for off-road or snow; pump up to 20–25 psi for paved commuting.
On longer rides—say 20–30 miles—most riders will notice fatigue more from their legs and core than from contact-point pain, which is a good sign for comfort tuning.
Handling & Stability
At low speeds, you do feel the weight of the bike. U-turns on narrow paths require more deliberate steering, and lifting the front wheel over obstacles is not a casual flick.
Once moving, though, the bike feels:
- Stable in a straight line, even at 25–30 mph.
- Predictable in corners, thanks to the long wheelbase and fat-tire contact patch.
- Confident off-road, where the combo of full suspension and AWD traction helps you stay in control over loose gravel, snow patches, or sandy sections.
You should still respect the bike’s mass—braking distances and direction changes need a bit more space than on a lightweight hardtail—but the overall ride is solid and reassuring.
Brakes & Safety Features
A heavy, fast e-bike is only as good as its brakes and safety systems, and Wallke has clearly paid attention here.
Hydraulic Brakes
The X3 Pro Max uses 4-piston hydraulic disc brakes with oversized 203mm rotors—a significant upgrade over the common 2-piston, 160–180mm setups on many competitors.
In practice, this gives you:
- Stronger initial bite when you squeeze the levers
- More consistent braking on long descents, where smaller systems can fade
- Better modulation, so you can slow smoothly in traffic rather than feeling on/off
There are also motor cutoffs in the levers: as soon as you brake, the controller cuts power to the motors for safety.
Tires & Traction
The 4.0" all-terrain tires provide a generous contact patch:
- Excellent grip on dry pavement
- Good traction on dirt and gravel
- Surprisingly confident performance on snow and sand when pressure is lowered
Combined with AWD, you can climb or descend rough surfaces with more control than a typical rear-hub fat-tire bike—just remember that more traction also encourages higher speeds, so keep your braking distances in mind.
Lighting & Visibility
The bike comes with:
- A bright 48V LED headlight, powered by the main battery
- A rear light with brake activation, improving visibility when you slow down
- Reflectors on the wheels and pedals
The headlight is strong enough for night riding on unlit roads, not just to “be seen”.
Electrical Safety
Perhaps most important, the X3 Pro Max’s electrical system is UL2849-certified, and the battery pack meets UL2271 standards, which are designed to reduce fire risk and ensure proper protection circuitry. You also get:
- Over-charge, over-discharge, over-current and over-temperature protection via the BMS
- IP65-level waterproofing claims, which means normal rain riding is fine, though full submersion is obviously off-limits
This level of certification is still not universal in the e-bike world, so it’s reassuring to see it on such a powerful model.
Controls, Display & Riding Modes
The cockpit of the X3 Pro Max looks more like a small motorcycle than a traditional bicycle.
Display & Controls
In the center of the handlebar sits a full-color LCD display that shows:
- Current speed (mph or km/h)
- PAS level
- Battery bars and voltage
- Trip and odometer
- Error codes when something needs attention
On the left you’ll find the mode and PAS buttons; on the right, a full twist throttle similar to a motorcycle grip.
Wallke also offers app connectivity, letting you:
- View ride data and history
- Receive fault warnings
- Set a password/lock mode
- Switch between single and dual motor modes
- Change speed limits and some controller behavior
Riding Modes
There are five main ways to ride the X3 Pro Max:
- Dual Motor Electric Mode – You rely purely on throttle, both motors active. Maximum power and acceleration; best for short, intense rides or steep climbs.
- Single Motor Electric Mode – Throttle-only but with one motor (typically rear), ideal for extending range while still having no-pedal convenience.
- Pedal Assist (PAS 1–5) – The most efficient everyday mode.
- PAS 1–2: Mild assistance, great for casual cruising and long range.
- PAS 3–4: Strong assistance, natural feeling around 18–25 mph.
- PAS 5: Very aggressive, more for quick bursts or steep hills.
- Walk Mode – The bike creeps along at walking pace to help you push it up ramps or through parking lots without lifting.
- Manual Pedal Mode – Turn assist off and ride it like a very heavy 7-speed fat bike. It’s good exercise, but you’ll quickly appreciate the motor again.
The transitions between modes are smooth, and the throttle and PAS blend together without abrupt surges once you’ve set your preferred configuration.
Fit, Sizing & Adjustability
Fit is crucial on a big, powerful bike.
According to Wallke, the X3 Pro Max is best for riders between 5'6" and 6'5", with key dimensions as follows:
- Total length: 78" (198 cm)
- Wheelbase: 49.2" (125 cm)
- Standover height: 31.5" (80 cm)
- Handlebar height: around 43.3"–45.7" (110–116 cm)
- Seat height range: roughly 32.3"–43.3" (87–110 cm)
Real-World Fit Notes
- Riders around 5'8"–6'1" will likely find a very natural fit with slight bend in knees and elbows.
- At the taller end (6'3"+), you can still get comfortable by raising the seat and slightly tilting the bars back, though super-tall riders may wish for a bit more reach.
- Shorter riders around 5'5" may find the standover a bit tall, especially if they prefer to flat-foot both sides at stops.
The seatpost and handlebar angle give some adjustability, but this is not a small-frame bike; Wallke clearly designed it with medium-to-tall riders in mind.
Assembly & Out-of-the-Box Experience
Wallke ships the X3 Pro Max about 90% pre-assembled. Out of the box, you’ll normally need to:
- Attach the handlebar to the stem
- Install the front wheel and quick-release skewer
- Mount the front fender and headlight
- Install the pedals
- Straighten and tighten the seatpost and controls
If you’re handy with basic tools, expect 45–75 minutes for assembly and adjustment. Beginners may take a bit longer but Wallke provides:
- A multi-tool and basic wrenches
- A printed manual
- Video installation guides on the product page
You should always check:
- Brake alignment and lever feel
- Gear indexing (smooth shifting through all 7 gears)
- Tire pressure
- Suspension settings (especially rebound and compression if adjustable)
If you’re not comfortable with these steps, it’s worth taking the bike to a local shop for a quick safety check after assembly.
What’s Included in the Box?
In the box you’ll typically find:
- Wallke X3 Pro Max e-bike (folding frame, dual motors installed)
- Internal 22Ah battery (pre-installed in frame)
- External 22Ah rack-mount battery
- Two 48V chargers (for simultaneous charging)
- Integrated rear cargo rack
- Full fenders (front & rear)
- LED headlight and rear light
- Horn / electronic bell
- Reflectors
- Tool kit and multi-tool
- Owner’s manual and warranty information
- Small hardware/spare bolts as needed
Our Take on the Package
For the price, the accessory package is generous. You don’t have to immediately buy a rack, fenders or upgraded brakes—they’re already here. The dual chargers are a nice touch, and the included tools are sufficient for initial setup (though a quality bike multi-tool is always nice to have). The only things many riders might consider adding are a more personalized saddle, suspension seatpost, or mirrors for high-speed road riding.

How the Wallke X3 Pro Max Compares to Alternatives
When you’re shopping in this category, a few other models are likely to be on your radar. Here’s how the X3 Pro Max stacks up conceptually.
vs Ariel Rider Grizzly (Dual-Motor 52V “Moped-Style”)
The Ariel Rider Grizzly is a legendary dual-motor, dual-battery moped-style e-bike with roughly 3,700W peak output, 52V 35Ah battery (about 1,820 Wh), and a top speed over 30 mph when unlocked.
- Grizzly strengths: More motorcycle-like seating, higher power, very playful handling with 20" wheels, strong brand following.
- X3 Pro Max strengths: Larger 26" wheels for better rollover, significantly more total battery capacity (~2,112 Wh), UL certifications, a higher official payload rating and a more “bike-like” form factor with folding capability.
Choose the Grizzly if you want a mini-moto feel. Choose the Wallke if you prefer full-size wheels, extra range, and a somewhat more versatile/utility-oriented shape.
vs Engwe X26 (Dual-Battery Full-Suspension Folder)
Engwe’s X26 is another full-suspension folding fat-tire bike, with a 26" x 4.0" platform, dual batteries around 1,400 Wh total and a 1000W (peak 1200W) rear motor claiming speeds up to 50 km/h (~31 mph).
- Engwe strengths: Triple suspension system, slightly lighter, typically lower price, and still plenty of power for many riders.
- X3 Pro Max strengths: Dual motors with AWD traction, more total battery capacity, higher payload rating, UL-certified system, and a stronger focus on safety and long-range use.
If you mostly ride on mixed terrain but don’t need AWD or huge range, the X26 can be compelling. If you want the security of dual motors, longer range and higher load capacity, the Wallke pulls ahead.
vs Velowave Ranger 2.0 (Single-Motor Fat-Tire All-Terrain)
The Velowave Ranger 2.0 is a more traditional 750W, 48V 15Ah–ish fat-tire bike that reaches around 28 mph and claims up to 90 miles of pedal-assist range in eco conditions.
- Ranger strengths: Lighter, simpler, significantly more affordable, and easier to live with for short- to medium-range everyday riding.
- X3 Pro Max strengths: Far more power and torque, double-plus the battery, AWD, full suspension and higher safety certification level.
If you mainly commute 10–20 miles a day on moderate terrain, the Ranger (or similar 750W bikes) is all you need. If your routes are long, steep, or you simply want a “no-compromise” machine, the Wallke earns its higher price.
When to Pick the X3 Pro Max
Choose the Wallke X3 Pro Max when:
- You prioritize range + climbing ability + payload over low weight.
- You ride in mixed or rough terrain and want full suspension with AWD traction.
- You care about safety certifications and want a UL-listed high-power e-bike.
If none of those points resonate and you only need a simple city commuter, you’ll likely save money (and your back) with a lighter alternative.
Common Questions About the Wallke X3 Pro Max
Q: Is the Wallke X3 Pro Max legal to ride in my city?
A: Fully unlocked, the X3 Pro Max can exceed typical Class 3 limits (28 mph) and uses a throttle, so it doesn’t neatly fit Class 1 rules. However, you can usually lower the speed limit and adjust modes via the display or app to keep it within local regulations. Because e-bike laws vary widely, always check your city or state rules and configure the bike accordingly.
Q: How far can it really go on a single charge?
A: The bike’s huge 48V 44Ah battery system allows Wallke to claim up to ~170 miles in ideal conditions. In real life, most riders can expect roughly:
- 40–60 miles with aggressive dual-motor throttle use
- 70–100+ miles using PAS at moderate speeds
- 120+ miles if you ride slowly in eco modes and weigh less
Your exact range will depend on your weight, terrain, speed, wind and how often you use dual motors.
Q: Can I ride the X3 Pro Max in the rain or on wet roads?
A: Yes, the bike is designed with sealed connectors and an IP65-type protection level for normal wet-weather riding. The batteries and electronics are protected by a BMS and housings. As with any e-bike, avoid deep water crossings, don’t submerge the bike, and dry things off after very wet rides to extend component life.
Q: Is it suitable for heavier riders?
A: Very much so. The X3 Pro Max is rated for up to 400 lb payload, uses a 3mm-thick alloy frame, and has a strong rear rack. That makes it an excellent option for larger riders or for people carrying cargo, child seats (within rack limits) or camping gear.
Q: How hard is it to lift or transport the bike?
A: At roughly 114.6 lb, this is not a bike you want to carry up multiple flights of stairs. Folding is mainly for storage and car transport: fold it, roll it to your vehicle, and lift carefully with two hands (or two people) if needed. If your daily routine involves frequent lifting, you’ll probably be happier with a lighter single-battery model.
Q: Do I have to use both batteries all the time?
A: No. You can ride with just the internal battery if you want a slightly lighter setup for short rides, and then add the rack battery for longer trips. Most riders, however, will leave both installed full-time; the weight difference isn’t huge relative to the bike’s overall mass, and you get maximum range and stability.
Final Verdict – Should You Buy the Wallke X3 Pro Max?
Score: 9.1 / 10
The Wallke X3 Pro Max is not a bike for everyone—and that’s exactly why it’s so appealing to the right rider. It’s a serious machine with serious specs: dual motors up to 2800W, a massive 44Ah battery, full suspension, hydraulic brakes and a 400 lb payload. Add UL-certified electronics and thoughtful safety features, and you end up with a long-range, all-terrain e-bike that inspires confidence rather than fear.
The compromises are all about size and intensity. It’s heavy, tall, and powerful. If you’re short, live in a third-floor walk-up, or only ride on flat bike paths at 15 mph, this is going to feel like too much bike. A simpler, lighter 750W fat-tire model will serve you better.
But if you’re a medium-to-tall rider who wants:
- One bike that can handle steep hills, long distances and rough terrain
- Enough battery to forget about daily charging
- The confidence of UL-certified safety and overbuilt hardware
…then the Wallke X3 Pro Max absolutely deserves a spot at the top of your shortlist.
If you’re looking for a powerful, long-range fat-tire e-bike that can replace car trips and still be fun on weekend trails, the Wallke X3 Pro Max is one of the strongest options in its class.
