Quick Question on wheel building

[unsane]

Quick answers for a quick question...

I'm swapping out a hub motor from a 26" rim onto a 700c alloy rim
The motor is 36v 500w.

Do I NEED double walled rim or should the standard rim suffice?

By highlighting need, the answer would be no. but it would certainly be more desirable.
