100 Miles Review Aniioki A8 PRO MAX

[@cash2.0]

Excellent review! The Marina Del Rey area has a nice bike path to Redondo. I will look further into this model.

[@ericechipman1183]

Nice review of this bike. If it wasn't for the engineering of the seat design I would have definitely bought this bike already

[@solarion9802]

Yes, for the same $2k price tag, the Aniioki 52v AQ177 Pro Max pre-order may be a better choice...as it comes with a standard seat bar rather than this poorly designed proprietary one.

[@Brewpocalypz]

Do your lights work? I have the 52v version and have replaced 3 controllers they sent me and the last controller did make the lights work for 2 days now same problem

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

My lights work for the most part, but occasionally, the front light will turn off for a few seconds. I am not sure about the rear since I'd have to turn my head around to see that. But it might also be turning off. I use my own mountable lights anyway since they're much brighter

[@ericechipman1183]

@PeaceGypsy good I will check it out

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

​@PeaceGypsy perhaps a link? Nothing about a seat mod anywhere on their site from my view

[@GordonLardi]

i got the 52v and have to say best 2k spent on an ebike. Yes the controller is buggy but I told them and they assure me they are weeks away from resolving the issue and will send out a new controller when they do. I would suggest any others who are dealing with same issue to contact aniioki so they will stay on it. They are a responsive company, more so than the american resellers of chinese bikes here in the states because you are talking to the actual company that is making the bike and not just a private label reseller.

[@flolou8496]

How is there English when you need to talk to them either by chat or phone? (I am very worried about future support from a company based only out of China,) that should be obvious to people but sadly many people never consider to think about it,

[@GordonLardi]

@@flolou8496 I understand your concern but all my contacts have been through email and they are very responsive and speak english well. Actually much better results resolving issues than the domestic labels here that just import. I have a sondors and their help is nonexistant, so if your used to dealing with a domestic label I think you will be very pleased dealing with Aniioki.

[@brandonboss6868]

How has it lasted you after a year now?

[@RandomMotoThings]

I’m done with Aniioki as a company. When my bike first arrived, my headlight did not work at all. I contacted them and they send me a new controller. Got the new controller and the headlight now worked. After the first ride, my headlight would NOT turn off even when the bike was off! The headlight button wouldn’t work at all to turn off. I literally couldn’t turn the headlight or tail light off until I took out the battery completely. That means even with the bike completely off, your lights would stay on no matter what (unless battery was removed). I sent them 3 emails over the course of a WEEK about this issue and now all of a sudden I didn’t get ONE response from them. This leads me to believe that they KNOW this is an issue they don’t know how to fix. Very disappointed! UPDATE: they emailed me not too long after I made this comment. They know about this issue and they are trying to figure it out. They are compensating me and keeping me updated. Kind of sucks but I appreciate that they are at least trying.

[@flolou8496]

Sad, but kind of funny in a way, obviously there is some early kinks and bugs being worked out in this first phase of this model, (hopefully most of the bigger issues is resolved in the first 6 months of production and the first 100 to 500 purchases with real world use cases) but who know's , right? but so far only this company and WildeWay strike me as reliable enough to gamble 2,000 on a product like this as early beta users give us feedback slowly here on KZbin,

[@fyjijgcvvyyj]

Do not buy an electric bike from this Aniioki supplier I am very dissatisfied with your work and your electric bike. Your company is a fraudulent company in America and such as you should not work in the American market. Because you are deceiving ordinary Americans. The policy on your site does not correspond to your work and I am 100% sure of it. Your Aniioki A8 Pro Max electric bike does not meet the required parameters and the battery and motor are very bad. The rechargeable battery does not have any guarantees, and it is not safe. Do not buy an electric bike from this Aniioki supplier

[@timr31908]

That bike sure won't win any beauty contest

[@mokisan]

Thanks for the great video.

[@En4cer2K9]

I have the Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max which has the same battery. I've gotten in the neighborhood of 90 miles twice in 2 full rides with mixed throttle and pedaling, down to the last battery bar. Range anxiety really is a thing of the past.

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

It's amazing. I next want to see how far it will go past the last bar at least just once.

[@nolancrackel]

how do you think a 6'7 guy would fit on it? im really wanting it but concerned itll be small

[@En4cer2K9]

[@MrFester]

Because of some ( not all ) people those class 3 bikes are going to be outlawed on paths soon in most States and given more road guidance like LSVs , lights, turn signals etc and even talk about registrations.

[@aleshw1224]

As the range and speed increases government may ask for driving licence too. Cuba has already this requirement. Driving the bike such speed on pass way along the beach is kind of irresponsible .

Nice bike where did you get the rearview side mirror

[@kendrickjarias]

Is it true the A8 is for taller riders and the AQ177 is for shorter riders? And what’s the difference between the 48v and 52v?? Please I’m looking to purchase promptly.

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

A8 for shorter and AQ177 is better for taller with a much more adjustable seat post

[@_extracrispy_]

I just got mine and it makes a lot of noise. The brakes sound like they are rubbing and the chain is rattling so much

[@spoongee6541]

get street tyres and a lizzard skin for the chain slap

[@CeboAquatics]

what do you think of the seat on that bike?? seems like this bike checks off many boxes, but the seat doesn't have many options for comfort or ergonomics

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

The seat is truly bad, but thankfully the bike makes up for it

[@hammerboycb]

​@@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei thank you for video. I'm trying to decide between this bike and the AQ177. I like the way this bike looks more, I'm 5 ft 9 so I don't think seat height is a problem. You mentioned in the video the seat was bottoming out throughout the ride. Has that continued or was the seat too loose and needed to be tightened only?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

@@hammerboycb it's been stable lately. I imagine it's had time to form a print/memory to the position on the plastic insert, so it's staying put now.

[@themonkeythatsmokes]

Still to small for my size but good video, maybe play around with color grading ... but still interesting.

[@justinhaller2055]

Will it fit someone 6'1" without my knees being in my chest while pedaling?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

They'd be in your chest a little. For a bike style like this, at least you can adjust the seat post to be somewhat high. Super 73's and similar other models leave you with a fixed seat

[@michaelbeltzer469]

How did you change PAS settings?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

The manual which is available from their website is pretty clear. I always refer to it for setting changes

[@jakereal3604]

Funny you said that around 4:50 about people riding like douche bags! Lol. I like in Rockaways NYC and do a lot of ebiking on the boardwalk. I always ride RESPECTFULLY But I’ve found many people riding on Ebikes scooters , etc racing doing 25-30+ mph zipping in and out of pedestrians. Guess what? I noticed now that there’s new sign that say E-Bikes, scooters, any motorized device are not allowed!!! So they ruined it for the good guys ! Now it’s possible that it’s there so if police encounter said douche bags they can issue a summons, but if they see the rider is being safe and compliant that they won’t bother you. I’m hoping that’s the case!

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

Amen to that. It seems to be the case with police that you won't be bothered if you are following rules and not being careless/reckless. Unfortunately most who behave might actually not ride anymore due to the sign. And definitely those who are careless will not heed the sign. Tricky

[@jakereal3604]

That’s true! The dirtbags will never follow rules and do as they please. I’m hoping it’s only enforced for those that need to be stopped. This Aniioki AQ177 pro max (white) is my second Ebike. I have an Ecotric 26” fat tire 36v 500 W blue rims. That’s a blast to ride and it’s all pimped out lol. With speed limit set to max it WILL do 24-26 MPH. WHEN fully charged she’ll get up to even a tick over 26 like 27 on flat ground but as bat goes down it won’t do more then like 23.5-24 on throttle only. I put an 11-28 freewheel and I can get that beast up to 28-30 if I put some effort. For entry level bike it’s awesome !! Also added pair blue tooth speakers, dual headlights , signals, very bright taillights and get this ….. super bright LED Brake lights that get their signal off the brake cut off switches !! I also made it long range by adding a 20AH battery to the rear rack. There’s a toggle to go from one battery to the other right under seat post. This set up gives me 60 miles minimum that’s using mostly PAS 5 with mod pedaling. I’ve gotten as much as 85 miles with both batteries! I bought the Aniioki aq177 pro max (White). It’s torquey for sure. Haven’t rode it much as it came with controller switch broken. The - part is cracked off so I can’t lower pas settings once I increase them. A new switch just came. I intend on swapping them out tomorrow and finally trying it out. Looks awesome like a moped! Dual suspension rides pretty nice though only went like 6-8 miles so aren’t that familiar with it as yet. My Ecotric I bought last year and it has 1645 miles. Love riding it and even went from Rockaways Queens to Central Park then down town n back home. 60 miles round trip!! Be safe bro!

[@raypabs5374]

Can the handlebar tilt or adjust backwards towards the rider?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

The handlebar bolt down onto the stem directly. I doubt you need to angle these handlebars down as you sit pretty low and almost all the weight during a ride is on your butt instead of hands

[@nolancrackel]

how tall are you luftmax and how do you think a 6'7 guy would fit on it

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

I'm 5' 10" and I think 6'7 would be a struggle. Especially for pedalling. Not impossible, but very suboptimal

[@rightbackagain]

I’ve been watching hours and hours of e-bike reviews, mostly the moped type styles. My question is what bike would you purchase in the $2000 price range. My biggest concern is comfort! I’m 6’2, 210 lbs. And of course the common sense concerns of power/speed and distance…. This bike addresses both of those!

[@flolou8496]

You should ask yourelf, what does 60AMP verions of an Ebike, do that other models can't do, that are important to you? On a scale of quality for the componenets, I'ts maybe a 6 t 7 in terms of qulity over all, but the range, might be enough to make up for all of that but only if your sure you'll benefit from it, Note: As you size and weight, the bigger battery might be the deciding factor, I'm going to say your probably going to get at most even with this model, about 50 miles doing on average 25MPH on full throttle only, hopefully until about 95% of the battery, (some reviews I've watched show that when you get down to half a bar left, you won't be getting speeds much over 15 MPH, maybe only 7 to 8 MPH, You also need to look into there other model I think because at your height, this model I don't think has an adjustable seat for it's height, (but you should double check that) (you can also upgrade the tires as well to give you a taller bike if that's a concern, and if it's not, it should be)

[@flolou8496]

Does anyone know how much the rider weighs in this video?

I’m pretty sure they sent me a faulty battery.. a fully charged 48v battery should display 54v , mine is only displaying 51.8v 🤦‍♂️

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

Dang. Idk but could the charger be at fault possibly? Are you getting 90 miles of range at least?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

A rider I met said he got 109 miles on his 52 volt variant while using throttle only at mostly full speed. The 48 volt variant seems to be a little shy of 100 with such a riding style based on other data from users of the 48v

[@flolou8496]

@@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei Sound's like the 52 VOLT version is justified in the 150.00 additional cost than, if it's getting as much as 7 to 9 miles more in range, for even only the next 4 years, I'de be Ok with that,

[@xcruzrr6]

If you're using a 52v battery and the settings are at 48v that will happen. BTW how you liking that seat? XD

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

The seat always irritates me. Both uncomfortable and irritating to the skin while pedaling

[@wachu5249]

Is the battery waterproof?

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

No, but you could ride in light rain. I have done it before. It's nothing you want to leave out in the rain. The battery does not seal especially well, meaning I could see water seeping into the cavity the battery lives in.

[@ExploreYourWorld-oo3jd]

That Hillclimb was super disappointing I have a Bafang 750 watt mid Drive which does way better than that on the Hills. And where I live there's Hills twice that steep. Looks like the aniioki is not an option for me until they offer one with two Motors

[@ExploreYourWorld-oo3jd]

I did contact them and they said that they are not doing any customizations at this time. So no two motor bike for me by this company. That's a shame because this bike is absolutely perfect other than not having to Motors for my purposes

[@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei]

The steep hill featured in my vid is about 63% the steepness of the steepest grade in the world, so it's probably not that far off from your hills. I am not surprised as your mid drive will harness its power better/more optimally than a hub drive with its transmission technique. You can pedal to help the hubs which would certainly help. There are other ebikes with specs that would satiate your cravings. Check out the Bandit X-Trail Pro

[@jakereal3604]

Well you said it MIDDRIVE That gets more torque and the gear ratios actually have an effect of the bikes ability to climb hills just like a car taking advantage of its gear ratios. Hub motors are what they are. If you throttle only it’s the motor only powering you and the gear ratios make no difference unlike mid drive

[@shahan1465]

@@LuftmaxEbikes-cn7ei your ebike wouldn’t fair good with normal people with normal weight. You said you are 145lbs so it doesn’t count. Im 6’3 and 86 kg and im lean with muscle. If i hop into that bike, it wont move

[@flolou8496]

​@@shahan1465 If I were you, I'de worry about the changing legal landscape of getting dual motors, that push your total motor wattage above 750 Watts which is the standard maxium power wattage and still not require registration and special licensing, (of course the only way your caught is if law enforcement can actually prove you've adjusted the settings on your Ebike, so it's a crazy grey area legally, but I'm only looking at 750 Watt motor choices, just in case, this whole Ebike option is drowned out in regulations and there resale value drops hard,

Higher quality cells are better, less stress on the pack and cooler. I do not charge with them cheap chargers. The pack is charged in parallel using 2 7S configuration with an ICharger. I do not use the charging capability of the BMS that's bypassed and I run external balance port connectors to charge. Research the Icharger and see it's capabilities. Coming from the RC hobby, I know how important it is to keep your battery healthy and to get the most out of them.
