I wanted to see what the Wildeway Wander is like doing Uber Eats runs. Its the first time I’ve tried a dual motor ebike doing deliveries. Since its a fantastic hill climber I figured it would speed up my routes.
The Wander boasts dual 750-watt motors, peaking at 2600 watts of power total. It features dual suspension, including a four-bar linkage, and is equipped for delivery work with a zip-tied grill rack and delivery bag. The bike is powered by a 48-volt, 30 amp-hour battery located in the down tube.
The Delivery Shift Report
I hit the road on a Sunday afternoon in mid-October to run some Uber Eats orders, aiming for at least four deliveries to make around $20.
Performance and Quirk: While the bike is heavy, it proved effective. When activated in dual motor mode, the Wildeway Wander is great on hills and can hit speeds of 30 to 31 mph on the flats. However, the bike requires a specific setup upon every start: the rider must manually put it into dual motor mode and up the PAS levels, as it is sluggish in rear-wheel or single drive.
Efficiency Snapshot: The delivery shift was quick and profitable:
- We were able to complete three deliveries in approximately 45 minutes.
- The earnings were averaging $20 an hour during the shift.
- The rider noted that using a step-through bike makes deliveries easier.
Challenges: During the shift, the rider received an $11 offer for pizza but unfortunately could not take it, noting that large items like pizza boxes or big cases of water cannot be carried easily.
Range Test Results
The delivery shift, combined with the ride home after the final order, covered about 16 miles. At that point, the bike still showed two bars of battery life remaining.
After wrapping up the official range test by riding around the neighborhood, the Wildeway Wander delivered a total range of 30 miles. The bike uses a 48V 30Ah battery, and 30 miles is considered a decent result for a dual motor setup.
