I’ve been waiting for this video to drop!! Ordered my A9 on preorder and I can tell you I did a 46 mile round trip and ended up pedaling with a dead battery until I could find a place to let me charge. Battery has HUGE voltage sag once it gets around 50%. Rode to my sisters house about 23 miles, PAS5 and pedaling the whole time. Yes I rode it at top speed but even with my pedaling I was at 56% battery once I got there. On the return trip home voltage sag kept lowering output, top speed dropped from 43mph down to 38, then 33, then 28, eventually 10mph and it kept going. Battery percentage kept dropping by a few points at a time until I got around 44% at which I was pedaling and getting no assist from the motors. I stopped about 3 miles from home and was able to find a store that let me plug my charger in, and I finally got home a couple hours later. I only made it 43 miles on a 46 mile loop. Just to let people know the specs on this bike look impressive but be careful, battery loss is fast and 50% does NOT mean you’ve got 1/2 the range left as I found out the hard way. Matt also you didn’t post the 0-20 time on the video, but I feel like this thing doesn’t have the 203nm torque they show on the website. For a supposed 1800 watt motor I would think it would easily handle your 20% grade but you had to engage both motors to get up that incline. Seems better on paper than real world and too bad they were not helpful when I asked for help from customer service. Bike could be great but they need to work out some bugs and maybe change the claims they are making on the website.
Fascinating. I have not experienced your battery results. I live in a VERY hilly part of the Southeastern US and my weekend bike rides on e-bikes are usually around 80-95 miles. Maintaining a speed of ~34mph I was able to complete my e-bike route with around 38% left. I did not charge the bike overnight and rode around my house the following day for another 31 miles at an average speed of 24mph and ended up at around 12%. For those keeping tally, that’s pushing 130 miles of range of throttle only in a VERY hilly part of the country- we literally have no flats here. I have every belief that I could have eked another 20 miles out of the remaining 12%, which would put the bike at 150 miles of throttle only riding from 24-34 mph. I know on my bike you can go into advanced settings and change motor output and a whole Hellouva lot of different settings. My settings had every single item at its minimum. In this video, on the incline test, I’m 100% positive I’d go up that with a single motor. My driveway is steeper and longer than that and I can climb it, accelerating the whole way, on one motor. The bike blasts up it using both. I can’t help but wonder if in this video the advanced settings were set to minimum like mine were. Early in the video TailHappyTV couldn’t figure out how to enter the advanced settings menu and seemingly gave up- they never touched on this again. You can adjust motor load cut-out, general load cut-out, and things like voltage allowance in advanced settings and his incline climb look like those settings were set to minimum. My advanced settings are max everything. I can’t explain why your range is what it is. I’ve done my typical e-bike routes multiple times with this bike with nearly identical results each time. I might look in to requesting a battery exchange. If some of your battery cells were faulty, your range could be affected and if enough cells are faulty then the motors can’t pull their full amperage from the battery, which will negatively affect power output. I have a Frey Beast that uses the Bafang Ultra M620 that’s “overclocked” by Frey to run at 60v instead of 52v and it has an advertised 170Nm of torque. The Frey Beast is about 80lbs, so almost half the weight of the A9. With my wife on the Frey and myself on the A9, I can out accelerate her from a stop with just one motor engaged on the A9 by about 30%. The distance between our two bikes at the end of a 200m finish line is roughly equivalent to the advertised torque differences. The torque numbers seem pretty much spot on to me. With both motors engaged on the A9, it’s so much faster than the Frey that it’s not even exciting to see. I’d see if Aniioki would do a battery swap. It seems to me like something is going on other than Aniioki fudging some specs.
@@Unkn0wnC0mmand wow so interesting. I would love to know which settings you changed. I have no problem, accessing the advance settings and I’ve changed the power output for each of the gears to give me a little more finesse when I’m writing, but this problem happened before I made any changes in the advance menu. If you’re willing to share the changes you made I’d love to try them and see if that helps because Like I said, the acceleration is pretty weak. The torque does not feel like it would pull me up a steep hill and the battery voltage sag was real. I would love to get the kind of range you’re talking about because I don’t mind spending a few hours in the saddle on a weekend, but I need to feel confident the bike will get me home..
@erikschranz2972 i could list settings line-item and spend an hour doing so but I think you have a faulty battery with multiple dead cells. Your comment is a classic representation of a battery with multiple dead cells affecting range and power. The "sag" you're explaining is when the controller/computer thinks that there are cells available that have died. In other words it thinks that there are 100 cells available when there are actually like 70 available, big chunks of percentage will go off suddenly, top speed will go down, motors will feel underpowered, etc. For these high amperage motors to output peak power, each battery contributes to the amperage. Imagine each battery cell contributed 1 amp. If you had 30 dead cells out of 100, the most the motors could pull would be 70 amps while the controller thinks it's pulling 100. Then when the controller sees its at 70 amps, it adjusts the percentage of battery remaining because it thinks these dead cells are empty instead of dead. Then the process keeps repeating as other batteries deplete, that explains why your top speed is changing as the posted battery percentage decreases. I'm telling you, every word of your post indicates a faulty battery with multiple dead cells.
People expect higher priced ebikes to have better quality materials--this is not the case. Usually, the premium you pay is for higher speeds. Components usually stay the same as a $500 ebike. What you're essentially paying for is the company's motor/controller/battery combo that can get you to 45-50mph right out the factory. Otherwise, to get that speed or range, you're gonna have to build your own.
A great video as usual. I would definitely class that as an electronic motorbike, I think it certainly comes under the category of a "juiced joyride" :-). Though if I was riding it, I would certainly want to be wearing more protective gear.
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop!! Ordered my A9 on preorder and I can tell you I did a 46 mile round trip and ended up pedaling with a dead battery until I could find a place to let me charge.
This thing is insane. For me this is one of the contenders for bike of the year, and its a short list. Only other bikes on that list are the E-cells Monstar and the Wired Predator
I have any sales Monarch right now and I'm thinking of getting the monster except there aren't any to be had and I'm maybe considering switching Brands and going with this bike.. but I do prefer the ecells it is a top quality machine I've had mine for 5 years and it does not ever let me down
@@onthegowithgreggsavage Give them a call, its easier that way. I was offered one but turned it down, dont have the money now. Custom orders deliver on December, and next batch is in March-April
Check out Wired Freedoms new model the Predator. It's dual motor 60v 40ah and 2 -3000watt motors. It does 0-40 mph in 7.5 seconds flat. The Aniokii is 0-40 in 15 seconds.
BRO i was waiting for this review since day 1 of the bike's release as its my dream bike to get in the future once i sell my Fiido M1 Pro which i reccommend to review the Fiido bikes❤️🙏
so I love your review, so much I agree with. I hate to compare this to the wired freedom but if someone wants to spend 35 vs 20 I would take this, however the wired freedom (they sent me one btw to do the review on) - for 2k you just cant beat that price and power. 60v machine. I dont know man, I love the a9.
if this ever drops down to $2,500 + tax and shipping. Imma steal this for sure! $4k might be too much for some but seeing I've just put 3,700km on my first Ebike last year. that was such a savings for me!
With battery it is actually 161lbs. I pre ordered mine and I think it was a Friday night bike. Either that or the qc guy was off that day. Mine came with a broken controller and a bad charger. After they sent me new ones everything was going great Till the motor magnets in the rear motor came loose. Waiting on a replacement still. I got this bike to commute to work it is 80 miles round trip. Made 2 trips to work and that is when the rear motor started making funny noises. They had me send a video of it which I did riding it, which is the only time it is making noise if there is a load on it. They came back and said put down the kickstand and raise the back tire. I told them already that it does not make noise if the tire is off the ground. But I sent it anyways, and now I’m currently waiting for a motor two weeks later.
@@stogecrazy wow I thought my experience with the voltage sag and me getting stuck with a dead battery. Are you reliably getting 80 mile round trips with your commute or are you charging when you get there? My battery died on a 46 mile round trip.
@@erikschranz2972 I charge when I get to work and then when I get home but starting out at 58.8 volts ending up at 52 when I get to work and around 54 when I get home. I am sure I could go round trip on a single charge but I don't want to risk it.
Bro that is a motorcycle with pedals, if I was any taller than 5'6" this would have been the bike for me for sho, I already have an A8 and I freakin love it and this is like A8's Big Uncle.
@ A little over 500 miles and have not had any issues. Only rides on pavement and occasional dirt track, nothing extreme like jumping… this bike is just simply not made for that.
Was looking forward to this review, awesome seems like a very good combination of power/range, while not being straight illegal like surron's but I honestly don't like aniioki as a company, such a pain to get customer service, I sold my aq177 pm just a few months ago because it had too many issues I could not get fixed
-issues I've had are 2-3 volt battery sag(even when idling!! they refused to replace the battery since I was sure I had 1 or more dead cells, which is why I'm never buying something that does not have cell voltage monitoring again, I'm not trying to burn my place down) -constant clicking noise when riding, to this day I still have no idea where it came from, even being good enough at bike mechanics... -bad brake sensor(which froze my bike, I just had it disconnected it didnt change nothing), again they did not want to send me a replacement lever
Now this is the best ever E monster bike I sow in your channel Love it ❣️😍 But its a very SAD that they don't ship it out of Us 😭 am a big guy and love the size of it but also live in kingdom of Jordan so we are not allowed to own ebikes what's so ever!! We must be 3world 😢😢😢 .... enjoy every bike you review coz many Arab can not dream of one thanks to our government 😒😒😒
Another point I want to make for anyone looking to buy their first eBike. Pay attention to the riders physique and what they complain about. If a 200 lb 6' 5" man tells you the eBike is heavy and they are concerned about it falling over then it most likely will not be a comfortable eBike for someone like myself who is 5' 7" and 145 lbs. I bought the Wallke H9 AWD not realizing that the weight of the bike was going to be a serious concern for me and my safety riding on the road with vehicles. I bought the front 22Ah battery for the front as well so when I receive it I will use only the front battery for work and then switch out to the 60 Ah battery for long distant rides. Ultimately, I will rent out the bike or sell it while I look for a new eBike that isn't so heavy.
Did this dude just use a hammer drill to tighten the stem cap 😳 Bro 3lbs of torque! Which is barley hand tight I’ve got just under 1,000 miles on my A9 the chain is 3-4 links too long. Any bumps at stock length and chain comes off. After taking 3 links out it still comes off with big bumps. The low beam is more useable than the high beam. I weight 225-230 and the suspension stock was way too stiff. And no anyone under 6’2” isn’t riding this bike. I can hit 44mph on flat road. I use this to Uber Eats deliver daily, and average about 70 miles per charge ( trying to keep battery above 25% as under 50% it falls extremely quickly) the drag style handle bars cause excessive wrist fatigue. Swapping to a bmx style with some back sweep made a huge difference. The knobbies wash out in turns, I’ve got some Innova Lizard Skin coming to swap over to. To disable cruise control hold the left button down and it enters the settings. I’ve found I get better mileage in PAS 3 and dual blue for take off from the line and then single rear ( single front the speedometer doesn’t work for me ever. I see it working in the video, maybe a later firmware ) that gives the best take offs and range. The power meters don’t “work” as even in single motor both are registering draw. Dual green is full power, and eats through battery fast! Personally I wouldn’t take this off rode
@geauxracerx Curious, i looked online at the Innova Lizard Skin tires which are 26x4; would those be fit the rims(assuming they are truly 26x4.8) and be safe?
@@omozeoyarebu4444 yes you will lose a little height, and a little speed due to smaller diameter, but the improvement in handling, breaking should make up for the small lose of speed. We’ve been safely been putting thinner tires on wider rims for decades.
That is a wicked bike ! But I’m retired and I would have to sell my old Harley to buy it. Good review. I watch all of your videos. Guess I’m window shopping. Hope the 2 that I have narrowed my choice down to will be on sale for Black Friday !!! 👍
I retired from my motorcycle dealership after 30 years has more than one HD and I don't write any of them I ride my e-bike all the time I'm just done with noisy clunky gas-powered machines that can only stay on the street..lol
The only negative to the A9: it's not meant for short riders. I'm 5-6, and i can just get my toes down on the relatively smaller A8 dual motor (not flat-footed). As always, a great review.
Love it!! If Texas were an E-bike it definitely would be going faster than 43 mph, just saying. As a former trucker driver, I've driven the 405 in Cali, among other California traffic nightmares. The equivalent in Texas are the highway systems to get around the DFW metroplex, or the Houston metroplex. Honestly, Cali has nothing on the DFW traffic. A close second would be Atlanta traffic. My point? In Texas, if you can't keep up with traffic in DFW, it's not a suitable E-bike. You have to be able to battle against beastly turbo diesel trucks that don't care for smaller vehicles. In Texas, the pickup truck is king. If I were living in a smaller city like Waco, Amarillo, and the like, this E-bike would be perfect. Sometimes, I just want an E-bike with a rack on the back to make a beer run, or trip to the market. I don't need to drive a car or truck to go a few blocks. This would be perfect if the price point could come down. Thanks for the review. I have to say, I'm smitten with this E-bike. But not $3900 worth of smitten. 😃😃😃😃
A 45 MPH top speed and a 200 mile range?? That's awesome. At a 200 mile range, I could take this bike on long rides anywhere and leave my car at home. I could also see myself using this bike more than I do my car getting around town and I wouldn't have to worry about range anxiety because a 200 mile range will take me anywhere and I could ride around the city as much as I wanted to. I also love the fact that it can carry up to 400 pounds and that myself being 300 pounds is no problem for this bike. I'm definitely considering one of these next year when it gets warm enough to ride again here in the northeast.
Well that 200 miles range is probably at 15 mph or lower, 45mph could probably get you about 30-20 miles, I'm not a expert at measuring range with speed but going 45 mph would surely drain the battery pretty quick so that 200 miles range isn't what you would expect it to be
@@ItzYeetinTime I'd be happy if I can get 100 miles on a charge with this bike. I wouldn't have to worry about range anxiety like I do with my Aventon Aventure. My Aventure gets at best 25 miles on a charge. There's been a couple of times when I've been on my way home where my battery is nearly dead. The A9 Pro Max would get me to wherever I want to go and have more than enough power left to see me home. I can still see myself using it more than my car.
Did I agree I'm here in Connecticut and I'm almost getting ready to go through withdrawal symptoms from not writing but check out the range I hear a lot of people talking about voltage drop and power loss it's making me think twice about this machine and wanting to stick with my ecells monarch and getting a second bike from this company
Using range as a selling point is very inaccurate as there isn't an industry standard that these companies need to abide by. 200 mile range is probably using single front motor only and going 5mph. Unless there's an industry standard for these claims, I wouldn't base your purchase decision on range. Now, realistically, this bike will go 60 miles on a single charge from 100% down to 20% battery, throttle only and going 30-45mph (in other words, street riding like any other cars). How do I know? I own the A8 DM which uses the same battery and this is the range I'm getting. Now, are there other ebikes in the road with this speed and range, and a decent customer service? Not sure, and definitely not the Eahora. Wired ebikes perhaps?
I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about the customer service with this company though. I almost bought one a month ago but these complaints are keeping me away.
probably better tbh, these companies basically have dogcrap chinese grade batteries with big capacities that dont hold up over time or high speed riding. reviewers do us a disservice by not calling this out. go with a bike with verified premium japanese or korean cells. there u can actually look up the battery spec sheet.
At this point you hear this about just about every company but maybe Leetric, do what you want with your money but the risk sometimes may be worth it. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
My ecells Monarch awd, had my tech experiment with street tires which are basically like motorcycle tires they were little heavier they worked great I'm not sure if we can find them in that size though and yes I really think those white walls need to go personally myself
thanks for the review, i love these bikes key thing they can buck you off in dual mode, if you pull levers slightly too hard, it also the case if you suddenly switch gear while throttle is engaged too. plus the throttle has lock mode so if you want more safety id swap out the throttle for an half bar then buy then a spare lever kit, that's like 45, then 150 this how much extra it cost me for my a8. also i learned if you back track the blinkers you could wire in some front blinkers in the front of your a8 but no kit exists for the a8 to get the front blinkers, so if you know some wiring its a must to add front blinkers yourself, also the only repair shop is in NY city. last major note, my bike threw me off once when the breaks locking up then the throttle glitched stayed in on mode so this is the only con to the bike i found by accident so far, lastly i had ended up with an sprained leg for an week while i am glad i didn't beak bones.
If you want a dual motor bike the Wired freedom is coming out with the Predator..2x 3000 watt motors....0-40 in 7.5 seconds. Thats about half the Aniokii. The only difference is the Aniokii is 60ah and the Predator is 40ah... But if you want speed over range id go with the Predator.
52V electric bike, I think this is a really great electric bike, besides the price, this electric bike has a lot of power, I like this power because I live in the suburbs and it is really nice to drive it on dirt roads.a
Not real ebikes though just dangerous 50kg fire hazards! I love my ebikes but have real one's bosch, shimano looking to get the dji or a pinion mgu next these aniioki are n uk police watch list for illegal dangerous ebikes they are being taken from people here just now! Seen loads in back bike pounds in yard couple days ago!
I’ve been watching your channel for the last couple of days and I’m joining your channel tonight . I like the Aniioki A9 but I also like the e-cell king crown which one do you recommend?
i bought the AQ duel drive version 1000w rear 750w front, wish it had turn signal indicator on the screen and front turn signals and that it was made of aluminum my frame came scratched and is rusting at 1500 miles and it only hits 29mph but is advertised at 33, 4 mph is meaningful at these speeds. it also does not save drive settings, i go into settings and set the drive settings to front and rear drive but when i turn the bike off and turn it back on it goes back to rear drive so i have to change it every time i start the bike "real irritating". the head light is awesome, all ebike tires suck, get scooter tires when you order your bike unless you enjoy fixing flats. the battery is pretty awesome i drive about 28 miles and it only loses about 1-2 mph. i really recommend an aluminum framed bike this thing is just stupid heavy.
I bought an Aniioki Bike from Amazon almost a month ago and it stopped working in two weeks, at the middle of the traffic while i had my kid on child seat. We could be die since it is impossible to ride the bike with the pedals. Luckily all traffic stopped. The seller doesn’t accept return since I don’t have original box although it is their fault. I offered to drop it myself since they are 30mins away but they didn’t accept to push me not to return. Then i packaged it with moving blankets, two layers of cardboards and stretch film however they didn’t like it. Therefore my attorney will go to court for a case now. They think they can scam people with their cheap quality in United States. Don’t risk your life with this bike.
shipped to UK its £2500 Direct from their site but will be impounded at this end by customs as this brand is now on the UKs dangerous illegal ebike list! Police are stopping and taken this brand off UK roads at this very time!
It says $3199 on the website now so that’s good but I don’t see how much the total bike weighs? I did not hear you say it either? Does it fit on your bike rack that you suggest can hold large and heavy E bikes? I looked up the weight capacity of the one you recommended and it says 80 pounds per bike.
i've been checking your channel for a while. Since you review a lot ebike, where are they after your review them? i would like to test out the Aniioki A9 Pro Max, i want ride ebike and travel down to Mexico and downt o Panama, and down to Colombia, Chile, and Brazil. Of course with an additional battery or 2. Please where can i rent or test out the Aniioki A9 PRO Max?
Sooooo Glad Wired Predator was released to Citizen Cycle.That video turned me into a drunk sailor.0 to 40 in less than 8 seconds.More travel less weight.This Cumbersome paper weight gets a pass.Thanks just the same though.
only 32 amps per controller? 52 x 32 is like 1670 watts and peak voltage barely puts it past the 1800 nominal per motor, because even my 1kw e bike has a 52V 30amp
I've been asking if Anioki have considered VIN numbers so these can be registered and they were interested. Apart from that all it needs is a numberplate light. Hopegully it might happen, then it'd be legal everywhere as a moped.
At that point just but a surron lol. That thing might be as heavy as my mini motorcycle. Wouldn’t wish running out of battery on that thing for my worst enemy.
As Great as it looks in the design ,i think its more like an electric moped than a bike ! I just wonder how long those batteries will last ,as not sure what make they are ? Personally they would be a good delivery vehicle ,but can't say they would be good for leisure riding because of the weight of the bike ! Most people who buy these probably won't pedal them much because of its power , its all about personal choice :)
Laws in USA need to change. If the government wants people to get a license plate for e-bikes that go over 28 mph, fine. Right now there's no way to get a plate for this type of bike. It's also causing unnecessary design of chain and pedals that don't even help propel the device.
Awesome looking bike and looks like it is built heavy duty......slight concern though for the single motor not able to make it up that small hill. Could be a problem on steep grades in dual motor mode Be careful of those silver cars doing illegal U turns and left turns from right turn lanes in front of you....looks like they may be intentionally out to cause some damage
This bike in a 72v/84v variant with a little more power 55/65 mph and some street tires would be nice. I’m more of a scooter 🛴 guy have all the hyperscooters but I like this dual motor bike, just not enough performance for price.
Can you please review the ridstar mn 20 blue and yellow fold e-bike. It's under $1000. It is $800 with front and rear basket/ seats included. Step through style. Please leave a discount code for us. Thank you
If getting older and you still want to get around with no license , insurance , registration safety inspection or maybe less maintenance tune ups oil change or gas to buy....
@ naah I’ll ride my motorcycle till I die! You can die just as easy on those electric bikes going 45! Honestly if you plan to go 45 on a bike get a motorcycle even a scooter should be fine! They’ll probably cost just the same!
Ive seen this but not in person. I didn't notice how big it was until this video. The worst draw back besides the size and weight for the average person is the chain . I suppose someone could fab up some kind of guide like the ones in your car for the timing chain? That bike looks fun but not for me !

Links not working.
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop!! Ordered my A9 on preorder and I can tell you I did a 46 mile round trip and ended up pedaling with a dead battery until I could find a place to let me charge.
Battery has HUGE voltage sag once it gets around 50%. Rode to my sisters house about 23 miles, PAS5 and pedaling the whole time. Yes I rode it at top speed but even with my pedaling I was at 56% battery once I got there. On the return trip home voltage sag kept lowering output, top speed dropped from 43mph down to 38, then 33, then 28, eventually 10mph and it kept going.
Battery percentage kept dropping by a few points at a time until I got around 44% at which I was pedaling and getting no assist from the motors. I stopped about 3 miles from home and was able to find a store that let me plug my charger in, and I finally got home a couple hours later.
I only made it 43 miles on a 46 mile loop. Just to let people know the specs on this bike look impressive but be careful, battery loss is fast and 50% does NOT mean you’ve got 1/2 the range left as I found out the hard way.
Matt also you didn’t post the 0-20 time on the video, but I feel like this thing doesn’t have the 203nm torque they show on the website. For a supposed 1800 watt motor I would think it would easily handle your 20% grade but you had to engage both motors to get up that incline. Seems better on paper than real world and too bad they were not helpful when I asked for help from customer service. Bike could be great but they need to work out some bugs and maybe change the claims they are making on the website.
Fascinating. I have not experienced your battery results. I live in a VERY hilly part of the Southeastern US and my weekend bike rides on e-bikes are usually around 80-95 miles. Maintaining a speed of ~34mph I was able to complete my e-bike route with around 38% left. I did not charge the bike overnight and rode around my house the following day for another 31 miles at an average speed of 24mph and ended up at around 12%. For those keeping tally, that’s pushing 130 miles of range of throttle only in a VERY hilly part of the country- we literally have no flats here. I have every belief that I could have eked another 20 miles out of the remaining 12%, which would put the bike at 150 miles of throttle only riding from 24-34 mph. I know on my bike you can go into advanced settings and change motor output and a whole Hellouva lot of different settings. My settings had every single item at its minimum. In this video, on the incline test, I’m 100% positive I’d go up that with a single motor. My driveway is steeper and longer than that and I can climb it, accelerating the whole way, on one motor. The bike blasts up it using both. I can’t help but wonder if in this video the advanced settings were set to minimum like mine were.

I might look in to requesting a battery exchange. If some of your battery cells were faulty, your range could be affected and if enough cells are faulty then the motors can’t pull their full amperage from the battery, which will negatively affect power output.
I have a Frey Beast that uses the Bafang Ultra M620 that’s “overclocked” by Frey to run at 60v instead of 52v and it has an advertised 170Nm of torque. The Frey Beast is about 80lbs, so almost half the weight of the A9. With my wife on the Frey and myself on the A9, I can out accelerate her from a stop with just one motor engaged on the A9 by about 30%. The distance between our two bikes at the end of a 200m finish line is roughly equivalent to the advertised torque differences. The torque numbers seem pretty much spot on to me. With both motors engaged on the A9, it’s so much faster than the Frey that it’s not even exciting to see.
I’d see if Aniioki would do a battery swap. It seems to me like something is going on other than Aniioki fudging some specs.
@@Unkn0wnC0mmand wow so interesting. I would love to know which settings you changed. I have no problem, accessing the advance settings and I’ve changed the power output for each of the gears to give me a little more finesse when I’m writing, but this problem happened before I made any changes in the advance menu. If you’re willing to share the changes you made I’d love to try them and see if that helps because Like I said, the acceleration is pretty weak. The torque does not feel like it would pull me up a steep hill and the battery voltage sag was real. I would love to get the kind of range you’re talking about because I don’t mind spending a few hours in the saddle on a weekend, but I need to feel confident the bike will get me home..
I have not experienced what you are experiencing. I have gone 42mph with 38% battery after going over 80 miles with very little peddling.
@erikschranz2972 i could list settings line-item and spend an hour doing so but I think you have a faulty battery with multiple dead cells. Your comment is a classic representation of a battery with multiple dead cells affecting range and power.
The "sag" you're explaining is when the controller/computer thinks that there are cells available that have died. In other words it thinks that there are 100 cells available when there are actually like 70 available, big chunks of percentage will go off suddenly, top speed will go down, motors will feel underpowered, etc. For these high amperage motors to output peak power, each battery contributes to the amperage. Imagine each battery cell contributed 1 amp. If you had 30 dead cells out of 100, the most the motors could pull would be 70 amps while the controller thinks it's pulling 100. Then when the controller sees its at 70 amps, it adjusts the percentage of battery remaining because it thinks these dead cells are empty instead of dead. Then the process keeps repeating as other batteries deplete, that explains why your top speed is changing as the posted battery percentage decreases.
I'm telling you, every word of your post indicates a faulty battery with multiple dead cells.
Why didn't you get the wired Freedom Predator instead?
People expect higher priced ebikes to have better quality materials--this is not the case. Usually, the premium you pay is for higher speeds. Components usually stay the same as a $500 ebike. What you're essentially paying for is the company's motor/controller/battery combo that can get you to 45-50mph right out the factory. Otherwise, to get that speed or range, you're gonna have to build your own.
Yay, been waiting on this review 🎉!
A great video as usual. I would definitely class that as an electronic motorbike, I think it certainly comes under the category of a "juiced joyride" :-). Though if I was riding it, I would certainly want to be wearing more protective gear.
I’ve been waiting for this video to drop!! Ordered my A9 on preorder and I can tell you I did a 46 mile round trip and ended up pedaling with a dead battery until I could find a place to let me charge.
This is the review I've been waiting on.
saaaaame
This thing is insane. For me this is one of the contenders for bike of the year, and its a short list. Only other bikes on that list are the E-cells Monstar and the Wired Predator
@@RXR25 haha, how would it be bike if the year when it is the same as the A8 just 3 miles faster?
I have any sales Monarch right now and I'm thinking of getting the monster except there aren't any to be had and I'm maybe considering switching Brands and going with this bike.. but I do prefer the ecells it is a top quality machine I've had mine for 5 years and it does not ever let me down
ECells...i meant
@@onthegowithgreggsavage Give them a call, its easier that way. I was offered one but turned it down, dont have the money now. Custom orders deliver on December, and next batch is in March-April
Check out Wired Freedoms new model the Predator. It's dual motor 60v 40ah and 2 -3000watt motors. It does 0-40 mph in 7.5 seconds flat. The Aniokii is 0-40 in 15 seconds.
BRO i was waiting for this review since day 1 of the bike's release as its my dream bike to get in the future once i sell my Fiido M1 Pro which i reccommend to review the Fiido bikes❤️🙏
That’s an amazing bicycle although like you say the size is heavy, thank you
so I love your review, so much I agree with. I hate to compare this to the wired freedom but if someone wants to spend 35 vs 20 I would take this, however the wired freedom (they sent me one btw to do the review on) - for 2k you just cant beat that price and power. 60v machine. I dont know man, I love the a9.
Liked your review also Hazerz!
@@erikschranz2972Thank You
if this ever drops down to $2,500 + tax and shipping. Imma steal this for sure! $4k might be too much for some but seeing I've just put 3,700km on my first Ebike last year. that was such a savings for me!
With battery it is actually 161lbs. I pre ordered mine and I think it was a Friday night bike. Either that or the qc guy was off that day. Mine came with a broken controller and a bad charger. After they sent me new ones everything was going great Till the motor magnets in the rear motor came loose. Waiting on a replacement still. I got this bike to commute to work it is 80 miles round trip. Made 2 trips to work and that is when the rear motor started making funny noises. They had me send a video of it which I did riding it, which is the only time it is making noise if there is a load on it. They came back and said put down the kickstand and raise the back tire. I told them already that it does not make noise if the tire is off the ground. But I sent it anyways, and now I’m currently waiting for a motor two weeks later.
@@stogecrazy wow I thought my experience with the voltage sag and me getting stuck with a dead battery. Are you reliably getting 80 mile round trips with your commute or are you charging when you get there? My battery died on a 46 mile round trip.
@@erikschranz2972 I charge when I get to work and then when I get home but starting out at 58.8 volts ending up at 52 when I get to work and around 54 when I get home. I am sure I could go round trip on a single charge but I don't want to risk it.
good old aniioki, seem great on the surface but they are absolutely unreliable...
Bro that is a motorcycle with pedals, if I was any taller than 5'6" this would have been the bike for me for sho, I already have an A8 and I freakin love it and this is like A8's Big Uncle.
Any problems with your A8 sir?How many miles you have with it?
@ A little over 500 miles and have not had any issues. Only rides on pavement and occasional dirt track, nothing extreme like jumping… this bike is just simply not made for that.
Was looking forward to this review, awesome
seems like a very good combination of power/range, while not being straight illegal like surron's
but I honestly don't like aniioki as a company, such a pain to get customer service, I sold my aq177 pm just a few months ago because it had too many issues I could not get fixed
-issues I've had are 2-3 volt battery sag(even when idling!! they refused to replace the battery since I was sure I had 1 or more dead cells, which is why I'm never buying something that does not have cell voltage monitoring again, I'm not trying to burn my place down)
-constant clicking noise when riding, to this day I still have no idea where it came from, even being good enough at bike mechanics...
-bad brake sensor(which froze my bike, I just had it disconnected it didnt change nothing), again they did not want to send me a replacement lever
@@cheshire_super bad voltage sag, had to pedal unassisted after 40 miles, don’t count on anywhere near the range they promise
Finally the review of the age
Wow what a beast!
Now this is the best ever E monster bike I sow in your channel Love it ❣️😍 But its a very SAD that they don't ship it out of Us 😭 am a big guy and love the size of it but also live in kingdom of Jordan so we are not allowed to own ebikes what's so ever!! We must be 3world 😢😢😢 .... enjoy every bike you review coz many Arab can not dream of one thanks to our government 😒😒😒
Another point I want to make for anyone looking to buy their first eBike. Pay attention to the riders physique and what they complain about. If a 200 lb 6' 5" man tells you the eBike is heavy and they are concerned about it falling over then it most likely will not be a comfortable eBike for someone like myself who is 5' 7" and 145 lbs. I bought the Wallke H9 AWD not realizing that the weight of the bike was going to be a serious concern for me and my safety riding on the road with vehicles. I bought the front 22Ah battery for the front as well so when I receive it I will use only the front battery for work and then switch out to the 60 Ah battery for long distant rides. Ultimately, I will rent out the bike or sell it while I look for a new eBike that isn't so heavy.
Did this dude just use a hammer drill to tighten the stem cap 😳
Bro 3lbs of torque! Which is barley hand tight
I’ve got just under 1,000 miles on my A9 the chain is 3-4 links too long. Any bumps at stock length and chain comes off. After taking 3 links out it still comes off with big bumps. The low beam is more useable than the high beam. I weight 225-230 and the suspension stock was way too stiff. And no anyone under 6’2” isn’t riding this bike. I can hit 44mph on flat road. I use this to Uber Eats deliver daily, and average about 70 miles per charge ( trying to keep battery above 25% as under 50% it falls extremely quickly) the drag style handle bars cause excessive wrist fatigue. Swapping to a bmx style with some back sweep made a huge difference. The knobbies wash out in turns, I’ve got some Innova Lizard Skin coming to swap over to. To disable cruise control hold the left button down and it enters the settings.
I’ve found I get better mileage in PAS 3 and dual blue for take off from the line and then single rear ( single front the speedometer doesn’t work for me ever. I see it working in the video, maybe a later firmware ) that gives the best take offs and range. The power meters don’t “work” as even in single motor both are registering draw. Dual green is full power, and eats through battery fast!
Personally I wouldn’t take this off rode
Thanks, great comment
@geauxracerx Curious, i looked online at the Innova Lizard Skin tires which are 26x4; would those be fit the rims(assuming they are truly 26x4.8) and be safe?
@@omozeoyarebu4444 yes you will lose a little height, and a little speed due to smaller diameter, but the improvement in handling, breaking should make up for the small lose of speed. We’ve been safely been putting thinner tires on wider rims for decades.
That is a wicked bike ! But I’m retired and I would have to sell my old Harley to buy it. Good review. I watch all of your videos. Guess I’m window shopping. Hope the 2 that I have narrowed my choice down to will be on sale for Black Friday !!! 👍
I retired from my motorcycle dealership after 30 years has more than one HD and I don't write any of them I ride my e-bike all the time I'm just done with noisy clunky gas-powered machines that can only stay on the street..lol
Your UPS driver must hate you 😂
The only negative to the A9: it's not meant for short riders. I'm 5-6, and i can just get my toes down on the relatively smaller A8 dual motor (not flat-footed).
As always, a great review.
Great review, a very interesting bike!
Aniioki
Are you ok Annie
Classic Michale Jackson song 🎶
Love it!! If Texas were an E-bike it definitely would be going faster than 43 mph, just saying. As a former trucker driver, I've driven the 405 in Cali, among other California traffic nightmares. The equivalent in Texas are the highway systems to get around the DFW metroplex, or the Houston metroplex. Honestly, Cali has nothing on the DFW traffic. A close second would be Atlanta traffic. My point? In Texas, if you can't keep up with traffic in DFW, it's not a suitable E-bike. You have to be able to battle against beastly turbo diesel trucks that don't care for smaller vehicles. In Texas, the pickup truck is king. If I were living in a smaller city like Waco, Amarillo, and the like, this E-bike would be perfect. Sometimes, I just want an E-bike with a rack on the back to make a beer run, or trip to the market. I don't need to drive a car or truck to go a few blocks. This would be perfect if the price point could come down. Thanks for the review. I have to say, I'm smitten with this E-bike. But not $3900 worth of smitten. 😃😃😃😃
New goal to aspire to, this bike.
this is a electric motor bike damn
Who knew the Anunaki made ebikes! Wait til Hecklefish finds out 😂.
A 45 MPH top speed and a 200 mile range?? That's awesome. At a 200 mile range, I could take this bike on long rides anywhere and leave my car at home. I could also see myself using this bike more than I do my car getting around town and I wouldn't have to worry about range anxiety because a 200 mile range will take me anywhere and I could ride around the city as much as I wanted to. I also love the fact that it can carry up to 400 pounds and that myself being 300 pounds is no problem for this bike. I'm definitely considering one of these next year when it gets warm enough to ride again here in the northeast.
Well that 200 miles range is probably at 15 mph or lower, 45mph could probably get you about 30-20 miles, I'm not a expert at measuring range with speed but going 45 mph would surely drain the battery pretty quick so that 200 miles range isn't what you would expect it to be
@@ItzYeetinTime I'd be happy if I can get 100 miles on a charge with this bike. I wouldn't have to worry about range anxiety like I do with my Aventon Aventure. My Aventure gets at best 25 miles on a charge. There's been a couple of times when I've been on my way home where my battery is nearly dead. The A9 Pro Max would get me to wherever I want to go and have more than enough power left to see me home. I can still see myself using it more than my car.
Did I agree I'm here in Connecticut and I'm almost getting ready to go through withdrawal symptoms from not writing but check out the range I hear a lot of people talking about voltage drop and power loss it's making me think twice about this machine and wanting to stick with my ecells monarch and getting a second bike from this company
Using range as a selling point is very inaccurate as there isn't an industry standard that these companies need to abide by. 200 mile range is probably using single front motor only and going 5mph. Unless there's an industry standard for these claims, I wouldn't base your purchase decision on range. Now, realistically, this bike will go 60 miles on a single charge from 100% down to 20% battery, throttle only and going 30-45mph (in other words, street riding like any other cars). How do I know? I own the A8 DM which uses the same battery and this is the range I'm getting. Now, are there other ebikes in the road with this speed and range, and a decent customer service? Not sure, and definitely not the Eahora. Wired ebikes perhaps?
I’m seeing a lot of people complaining about the customer service with this company though. I almost bought one a month ago but these complaints are keeping me away.
Yup , I cancelled my order back in April with this company!!
probably better tbh, these companies basically have dogcrap chinese grade batteries with big capacities that dont hold up over time or high speed riding. reviewers do us a disservice by not calling this out. go with a bike with verified premium japanese or korean cells. there u can actually look up the battery spec sheet.
@@bakotako FWIW They claim the battery UL certified on the aniioki website...
At this point you hear this about just about every company but maybe Leetric, do what you want with your money but the risk sometimes may be worth it. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@bakotakoyea, and for this price I think I’ll just got with the Brute, those guys at spark are killin it and it’s in CT.
amazing A9 review, but I have Aniioki AQ177 now, lol
That bike is a beast. Call it "The Bear!"
I don’t understand who would buy this thing it’s way too much lol but I love your reviews
The company should provide the option for street tires because these eBikes are not meant for off-road.
My ecells Monarch awd, had my tech experiment with street tires which are basically like motorcycle tires they were little heavier they worked great I'm not sure if we can find them in that size though and yes I really think those white walls need to go personally myself
This would make a fun delivery bike. Size and weight of this thing ensures you can go GTA mode with deliveries.
Dude, I really like that bike! Too bad I just bought a wired cruiser!
You will be happier. This company sucks. There are too many issues with to many of their bikes.
Can I ride it as a 5'8 1/2 person?
Thanks for reviewing this. I just bought it a week ago. Love your style
How do you like it so far? I want to buy one early next year is the quality any good ?
The Aniioki website said $3,199, not $4K. That's almost a good price point but still out of my range even if I came up with the 10% off.
thanks for the review, i love these bikes key thing they can buck you off in dual mode, if you pull levers slightly too hard, it also the case if you suddenly switch gear while throttle is engaged too. plus the throttle has lock mode so if you want more safety id swap out the throttle for an half bar then buy then a spare lever kit, that's like 45, then 150 this how much extra it cost me for my a8. also i learned if you back track the blinkers you could wire in some front blinkers in the front of your a8 but no kit exists for the a8 to get the front blinkers, so if you know some wiring its a must to add front blinkers yourself, also the only repair shop is in NY city.
last major note, my bike threw me off once when the breaks locking up then the throttle glitched stayed in on mode so this is the only con to the bike i found by accident so far, lastly i had ended up with an sprained leg for an week while i am glad i didn't beak bones.
If you want a dual motor bike the Wired freedom is coming out with the Predator..2x 3000 watt motors....0-40 in 7.5 seconds. Thats about half the Aniokii. The only difference is the Aniokii is 60ah and the Predator is 40ah... But if you want speed over range id go with the Predator.
52V electric bike, I think this is a really great electric bike, besides the price, this electric bike has a lot of power, I like this power because I live in the suburbs and it is really nice to drive it on dirt roads.a
You would think a 4k e-bike wouldn’t have a 10$ shifter. I know you will barely use the gears but still. Same shifter as a 400$ e-bike
Which shifter would be recommended?
@@adrian1271 any other than the most budget shimano I’m sure it’s fine on a e-bike like that one. Next step up would be like a. Shimano atlus
Not real ebikes though just dangerous 50kg fire hazards! I love my ebikes but have real one's bosch, shimano looking to get the dji or a pinion mgu next these aniioki are n uk police watch list for illegal dangerous ebikes they are being taken from people here just now! Seen loads in back bike pounds in yard couple days ago!
@@adrian1271the new Microshift derailleur is a brilliant package and well worth its value! The Performance is fantastic!

Wow!! ❤❤❤ this is the bike!!!
I’ve been watching your channel for the last couple of days and I’m joining your channel tonight . I like the Aniioki A9 but I also like the e-cell king crown which one do you recommend?
Kings crown has much higher quality everything
@ thanks
i bought the AQ duel drive version 1000w rear 750w front, wish it had turn signal indicator on the screen and front turn signals and that it was made of aluminum my frame came scratched and is rusting at 1500 miles and it only hits 29mph but is advertised at 33, 4 mph is meaningful at these speeds. it also does not save drive settings, i go into settings and set the drive settings to front and rear drive but when i turn the bike off and turn it back on it goes back to rear drive so i have to change it every time i start the bike "real irritating". the head light is awesome, all ebike tires suck, get scooter tires when you order your bike unless you enjoy fixing flats. the battery is pretty awesome i drive about 28 miles and it only loses about 1-2 mph. i really recommend an aluminum framed bike this thing is just stupid heavy.
I bought an Aniioki Bike from Amazon almost a month ago and it stopped working in two weeks, at the middle of the traffic while i had my kid on child seat. We could be die since it is impossible to ride the bike with the pedals. Luckily all traffic stopped.
The seller doesn’t accept return since I don’t have original box although it is their fault. I offered to drop it myself since they are 30mins away but they didn’t accept to push me not to return. Then i packaged it with moving blankets, two layers of cardboards and stretch film however they didn’t like it. Therefore my attorney will go to court for a case now.
They think they can scam people with their cheap quality in United States.
Don’t risk your life with this bike.
I prefer this design of e bike because it doesn't look like a motorcycle
Dude, I really like that bike! Too bad I just bought a wired cruiser! How much is that exact bike as equipped in the video?
shipped to UK its £2500 Direct from their site but will be impounded at this end by customs as this brand is now on the UKs dangerous illegal ebike list! Police are stopping and taken this brand off UK roads at this very time!
43, 44 mph with long battery life. Worth it.
How good or bad is pedaling of E bikes with the batteries out and tires aired up high ? make it home with an up hill slope ? or just level...
These things are _actually_ going to come with monster truck tires eventually. XD
Very cool, but I think I'll stick with my slightly-more-tame x-trail
It says $3199 on the website now so that’s good but I don’t see how much the total bike weighs? I did not hear you say it either? Does it fit on your bike rack that you suggest can hold large and heavy E bikes? I looked up the weight capacity of the one you recommended and it says 80 pounds per bike.
He says it its about 145
What is the weight with, and without the battery?
I don't understand why most of these dual motor bikes why they have no power on the rear motor when most put out over a 1000 watts on the rear its sad
apparently the blue vs green icons mean Blue is Full dual motor and Green is eco-auto dual motor.
Well one thing i can say it’s probably the best ebike for sand riding don’t think e dirt bikes would be better unless they got thick tires aswell
Annie Oakley...rode a horse !!
Do a review of the juliet iii awd
i've been checking your channel for a while. Since you review a lot ebike, where are they after your review them? i would like to test out the Aniioki A9 Pro Max, i want ride ebike and travel down to Mexico and downt o Panama, and down to Colombia, Chile, and Brazil. Of course with an additional battery or 2. Please where can i rent or test out the Aniioki A9 PRO Max?
looks like the tariffs are starting to hit their prices
Need to see your review on the Wired Predator now. They are both the same price
they only made 100 of the predators, I think they only have 10 left
Alot on reviews saying bolts come loose to maybe add threadlock to them!
Is it true that the chain rubs on the rear wheel on the highest gear? Is that what I'm listening at 13:10 ?
Sooooo Glad Wired Predator was released to Citizen Cycle.That video turned me into a drunk sailor.0 to 40 in less than 8 seconds.More travel less weight.This Cumbersome paper weight gets a pass.Thanks just the same though.
only 32 amps per controller? 52 x 32 is like 1670 watts and peak voltage barely puts it past the 1800 nominal per motor, because even my 1kw e bike has a 52V 30amp
See if you can get the Titaone S 18inch fat tire electric bike 3000w 48v 75km/h Two-wheel top speed looks a funny thing
I have a question can you review Tst Dreamer electric bike I wanna buy it but I want your opinion 😁I love your videos btw❤
Bicycle Karen was really giving you the business.
she was flirting with matt.
37 Hundred dollars $$$$$$ WOW way outside my budget 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
green is in eco mode you need to put it in the blue mode
I've been asking if Anioki have considered VIN numbers so these can be registered and they were interested. Apart from that all it needs is a numberplate light. Hopegully it might happen, then it'd be legal everywhere as a moped.
At that point just but a surron lol. That thing might be as heavy as my mini motorcycle. Wouldn’t wish running out of battery on that thing for my worst enemy.
I think I'd try to make really good friends with someone who has a van before really testing it. XD
After that review, if you don't need the ebike, can you sell it to me?
where is this beach ? is this miami beach ? looks beautifull...
1:57 MEERS! 😃
As Great as it looks in the design ,i think its more like an electric moped than a bike ! I just wonder how long those batteries will last ,as not sure what make they are ? Personally they would be a good delivery vehicle ,but can't say they would be good for leisure riding because of the weight of the bike ! Most people who buy these probably won't pedal them much because of its power , its all about personal choice :)
on my list to own
Laws in USA need to change. If the government wants people to get a license plate for e-bikes that go over 28 mph, fine. Right now there's no way to get a plate for this type of bike. It's also causing unnecessary design of chain and pedals that don't even help propel the device.
Awesome looking bike and looks like it is built heavy duty......slight concern though for the single motor not able to make it up that small hill. Could be a problem on steep grades in dual motor mode
Be careful of those silver cars doing illegal U turns and left turns from right turn lanes in front of you....looks like they may be intentionally out to cause some damage
Its anything but heavy duty! Research the components first for your own safety!
@@Emtbtoday Do your own research

Those things need a smooth tire option.
Absolutely. Why do they always put knobby tires on them? Who would ride that huge bike off road?
I have a Stromer ST7 e bike: $12.000,- so that's easily 3 of these Anniokoiiiis
I like most of the details of this bicycle but why did they have to make the brake disc so ugly, that’s way too much steel
That bike cost more than my first new car cost me! LOL
If you gonna spend 4K on this type of E-bike! You might as well look into a motorcycle!
If getting older and you still want to get around with no license , insurance , registration safety inspection or maybe less maintenance tune ups oil change or gas to buy....
@ naah I’ll ride my motorcycle till I die! You can die just as easy on those electric bikes going 45!
Honestly if you plan to go 45 on a bike get a motorcycle even a scooter should be fine! They’ll probably cost just the same!
Dude! It's a monster truck that can't make it up a driveway parking lot.
Meeehhh, Would be ideal for 6 footers and beyond but for us mere Oompa Loompas not so good.
Ive seen this but not in person. I didn't notice how big it was until this video.
The worst draw back besides the size and weight for the average person is the chain . I suppose someone could fab up some kind of guide like the ones in your car for the timing chain? That bike looks fun but not for me !
