48v/60ah.... Too big or just right?

Most people don't need it, but I personally am looking for this sort of range. I live about 90 miles from my mother, with about 1000 ft of elevation total, and of course having some range left when I get there would make me feel better as the battery ages and just to get things done. I am glad this exists, I can't wait to see when batteries get lighter, and perhaps the bikes too.

This is great for commuters with longer commutes, and no ability to charge at work. It would give some surplus for side trips, or allow commuting several days without charging.

I've actually purchased this bike and my experience was exactly the same The battery is amazing I'll probably never end up using all of it suspension on the front for could be way better it bottoms out I actually end up changing it out ever since I'd done that I feel like I have a perfect bike no more range anxiety performance is just what I'm looking for in a moped bike The company sent me a new colored screen for the price I would definitely say it's a winner and I enjoy writing it at least three or four times a week thank you for the excellent review keep up the good work and keep in the e-bite community informed

It almost seems like advancements in ebikes are progressing faster than in EVs!

This is the future here now. We need true long range ebike. I would like to see a step thru commuter e bike with rear rack to place two big pannier bags. 26 inch wheels, front & rear suspension. low step thru with about 11 inch clearance to step thru and to be able to handle weight, at least 450 lbs. Like the lectric xpedition. I would certainly consider one of those. In the meantime I've made my own. 🙂 73 AH battery. Some of the parts purchased from Area 13. Thanks for the Great Video!

That's awesome!!! I called you guys earlier today and was talking to Blake about some ideas for extending my range and he referred me to this video. He was incredibly helpful and easy to discuss technical topics with. For this bike, I like the range, headlight and turn signals and the cruise control is a great idea. Thanks again Blake!

Wow, Blake. Great job. Kyle, it is really nice to see you and speaking so well now. I think it is amazing this bike will go so far. Cool.

I have had this bike for 4 months. Motor went bad after 49 miles. Found out many had the same motor problem. Aniioki sent a new motor and so far so good (Doubt it will last long). The range is 70 to 80 miles for me no pedaling without pushing the battery to low. There are a number of issues with this bike. Be sure to check all the screws to make sure they are tight. Check the rear brake. My rear brake and my friend's (He has the same bike) had spacers that had only 1/3 of the pads engaging the rotor (Dangerous).

The EAhora Juliet uses the same battery. I like that style better. Big batteries are the future of ebikes. I'm just waiting for a better quality bike that can go 40mph on "off road" mode. I'd love to see a dual motor with 52v and 60ah.

Perfect!

I want one. I'd love to have that range.

Heck ya like it❤

Love to have that when I’m going to my nieces in South Fl. What kind of carrier for 2 bikes would I need?🚴‍♂️🚴

I thought you were saying Annie Oakley, 🤣. I love the battery capacity, but wish it were smaller. Maybe in the future.

I’m going to definitely look into getting one of these bikes it would definitely fit my needs. Thank you for an awesome video.

My question is if I buy the 45 amp hour bike at 1499 and decide I want to upgrade and get a second battery that's a 60 amp hour will it fit

I would like to see more information about the controller and how different settings affect the AQ177 handling and display info. Instruction manual is not very detailed or accurate.

I like it!

Well I'm surprised and at that price it would do very well in the UK. It's a real game changer bike, it means no more running out of battery when you need to go on longer trips, it's not only a city bike it's a country side bike. Unfortunately such bikes in the UK would be classed as mopeds which means they probably wouldn't be able to sell them at that price in the UK and would have to under go a lot more testing which costs a lot more money which in turn would mean they would end up costing a lot more money to the consumer. So though it's a great bike the laws in the UK would be prohibitive. And there you have folks there are great cheap bikes with lots of power and range, but govt keeps them on the banned lists. So much for UK govt wanting us to go low carbon.

I love mine but mines a little different then the one you tested. I have the same bike but my battery is the 52v 60ah. I love the fact of being able to go for a ride and not worry if I'm going to run out of juice. Thanks for the video.

Pretty amazing price, wonder if it's just a matter of the company going for reasonable profit and not over charging. My main concern would be the quality of the cells and build of the battery pack.

Wow that’s impressive range. My e-bikes won’t go that far.

Hey 👋 I just bought my 52v aq177, it was working fine, now it’s showing code30, do you have any input ?

Do you know if these are using 21700 or 18650 battery cells? My biggest concern with this bike is that the battery might be inferior and will cost a lot to replace if battery breaks down prematurely.

I mean if it had an option for a front rack i would order one today. Moped style with a actual bike seat for hopefully ok pedaling and dual spring rear suspension. Sign me up if they add a front rack option

I'd like to have it. My current bike I ordered the largest battery available for it a 48v 30ah I also ordered a second like battery for longer rides.

Love ya and hope you're health gets better , you are the best e bike channel ever and a good person to be able to trust . God bless you.

I don't like those tiny tires. Is the small radius to save money?

You should check out the gt20 e-bike

Love the video , I was contemplating buying one of these but at that time they had a funky seat that you couldn't change out so bought a Wired freedom and added another battery .

My biggest concerns would be tires, brakes, battery. I wouldn't do a range test without being confident in how I'd come back if it doesn't get me all the way back. A flat tire would be worse to deal with, since I cannot pedal with that. Are there high puncture / low roll resistant tires for this?

Does it come with a U/L certified battery?

That's great for bike touring.

Hey Kyle. Hope all is going well, considering. The Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max with the 48V/60AH battery is listed for 1699.00 on their web page. For 1499.00 you get the 48V/45AH battery.

My concern is the quality of the battery. Who makes the cells? Please give your opinion as to how this battery stacks up against top quality cells such as Samsung. Is this a cheap battery to keep the price down that won't last?

that might have been an early model inertube and valve isue that nedes to be fixed with an up to date vakves and rims

Where did he start from

Looking to buy a E bike. Still have not decided yet. Doing research on different bikes.

great price & milage. Yes the battery is heavy but the milage you get compared to other bikes. Other bikes you have to be carrying a second battery & now you are up around the same weight

Great video, as always, but more impressive how you look 10 years younger now!

If this bike had a regular cruise control setup it would be awesome.

Hey Blake!!,from Blake!! excellent job on battery range testing!!.

Not an overkill at all. Those 11Ah, 15Ah, 20Ah are toys. This 60Ah is finally something useful. When I ride within my town I can go with simple "muscle" bike, don't even need an electric. I need an electric to regularly visit my sister in the next town, some 40 miles away. And I need enough juice to get back home in the afternoon. So, the 48V 60Ah is Just Right.

Needed out the box mods for me doing mostly street riding with some groomed dirt paths: 1). Install street tires for a smoother ride, less roll resistance, and even more miles. 2). Rear view mirrors. 3). Bigger rotors 4). Make a small easy removable clear chest windscreen for road protection and even less resistance. (Product Idea that does not exist- anyone?)

like to see it on more bikes

Maybe you already mentioned it, but how much does he weigh?

Seems like a winner! I love the range and the power! 20" wheels perfect of seniors such as myself.

What I'd like to see is infrastructure Like Taiwan has. They have hot swap stations, all around the island, There's like hundreds of stations to swap your batteries for fresh ones. So within a minute or two your on your way with fresh batteries.

Great video guys. That is amazing mileage for the cost of the bike. Would make a great commuter or delivery bike for intown riding. Hydraulic brake & rotor upgrade should be first priority.

I'd love to see a review of a bigger person do a range test. All of these e-bikes tout long range and as someone more along the 240lbs weight, I NEVER see that one any bike I've ever owned. Maybe I need to reach out to them and try to do a video on it. Not sure if anyone other than me even cares about that though haha.

Will company tell you brand of cells? I bought a bike with Yiklik chinese cells and was good for 1 year but then battery quality and range dropped dramatically. Chinese cells dont have the chemistry to last a long time as the brand name cells. You may have to buy another battery sooner than you expected.

I did 37 miles last week on my Lectric 3.0. My butt was dead around 30.

For that price, I would expect to be buying a battery with the bike as a bonus! Is it overkill? Depends on your needs. I did a group ride with gas mopeds, and the requirement was "at least 30mph for at lest 60 miles", and this would have been great for that, if it has the speed. What I usually find though, is the extra weight is a burden. I use the modular approach and have 5 batteries of varying weight and capacity, and although I can run with four batteries at the same time (73.3Ah!), the weight just makes it feel like a pig. When I did the ride mentioned above, I used 3 batteries to keep weight down, and the 53.3Ah was enough for the whole trip. For slow group rides though, I'll use a single 20Ah battery for the 15 mile trip, and finish with it at 98%.

If the battery size is proprietary to that brand it may be a problem in the future when rebuilding or replacing. Keeping within standardized sizes is the safest way to go.

I wish I could get a battery like this for my Juiced RipRacer,...

Pretty cool test. Impressive range.

I love idea of that much range. I'd prefer a 52v battery, but the range at class 2 speed is what's more important. Great job on the review gentlemen!

I like it. I am 73 years old. I’d buy one right now if I had the money.

I know it is dead weight, but why not a slave 3rd wheel behind the rear wheel to do the pedeling in a hub gear. 200 miles FTW?

I want the 52 volt version.

25 wh/mile or so; not bad considering the conditions.

Cool ride! I now have 64 amp hours of battery, for my full suspension Lancer. And I’m gonna do 100 mile trip with no throttle and only peddling and using the different pedal assist. But there’s only 350 feet of elevation in this whole trip. So I should make it pretty easy.

Sounds like it is priced very well for what you get

This bike is not offered on your site as of July 2024. Was it ultimately not a reliable option?

I like e-bikes that are not only for practical daily riding (recreational to fitness)but also to deal with carrying cargo. I have yet to see someone develop a FOLDING e-cargo bike with a mid drive with at least 750 watt motor (mid drives are more efficient on battery consumption as well as better climbing ability) and has the potential of a dual battery set up. :).

The less time you have to charge it and do several commutes the longer the life of the battery especially if you charge it to 70 to 80% and don’t let it go below 20%

Guy testing bike looks like John Malkovich

The battery alone should be about 1200.00. How are they doing it?

I watch most of your videos little brother but I don't know much about your health. Will a full recovery be coming soon?😢

Great video but what was the weight of the rider and the gear? Would my 260# lard ass get that kinda mileage? LOL

This is just right

WOW, I can see many uses for this, just may have to add this to my inventory

We saw you pedal in the video.

Hey Kyle...do you think any of the newer battery tech for Ev's will transfer to EBikes and result in lighter and smaller high capacity batteries? I will say overall if you're looking for that style if Ebike its pretty sweet for the price and uf you can not difficult to upgrade frt suspension, maybe the brakes and I'd see if swappingvtge z Display for one brighter though that could be a Stretch.

Generic battery? Is the charger well made? Thanks. The range is great for sure

This bike is actually very efficient despite its weight. I've ridden an electric scooter from full to empty that's 72v 35ah, so that's 2520Wh, about 87.5% the capacity of this bike, their curb weights are nearly identical. I got 86.3km, so around 54 miles. So getting 100 miles on this bike is very impressive. I think it could be that this bike is relatively lower powered, and the rider was going slow, and I'm probably heavier than the rider too. Never the less, it's a really nice and efficient machine.

Right,right

i am looking at a 30 minute commute at 55 mph. would love an ebike able to go for a few hours at road speed i wouldnt need to buy a 15k motorcycle then

Great video

The bike is not going to win any beauty contest. But the price is good, the weight rating is good enough for a decent cargo bike I would think. But with what they are rating the distance at, I could commute a140 miles to work an 8 hour job and should be able to commute back to where I live which would take me around 2hrs to drive at 75mph. I would say for a normal commute, or to run to town to get grocery's with a trailer behind the bike it would still be a bit over kill as that would be a 10 mile round trip for me. If I was to use it for my part time delivery job, then I would say it would probably be about right for a bike and trailer combo. As I can cover a hundred miles a day, just delivering food to people with my part time job. And that bike would let me do that with no problems, so yeah I would say it is just right.

Awsome video. How much does he way? Average speed? Top speed, throttle/pas 5. Thx

I bought my mom a lectric xp 3.0, Talk about buyers remorse, omg this 3.0 has been the worst purchase over a 1000$ on anything I ever bought in my life, I had a 500$ swagtron eb5 pro, that was faster, better range, I got low range model, but I've had to replace the wire harness, replaced the controller, now I got replace the recalled brakes, got replace the recalled front rim, I had do all this work on my own, iam devastated, I feel like I got robbed, and lectric will only replace each piece as it breaks, the bike was shutting off completely every time I hit a bump, It wouldn't go over 15 mph, I thought it was fixed with new harness, but it just shut off for no reason other day, the brakes are the worst junk I've ever seen, the front cable or something snapped yesterday, rendering the front brake totally broken, glad my mom wasn't on it, now I got replace the brakes with hydraulic that lectric sent me after months long wait, I got more time working on bike than riding it, Now got replace front rim bearings are defective, recalled, It only gets 12 miles range if iam lucky, I want sell it but would not feel comfortable selling it and have someone come back mad at me, I asked lectric send me new bike they refused, the lady actually had nerve telling me I should expect to have to put some work into something that's electrical, I've replace almost whole bike and still have issues with it shutting off for no reason, it is very slow, slower than my old 350 watt swagtron eb5 pro, I just can't believe lectric put out such a piece off junk, I feel like I got robbed!! Definitely stay away from them!!!

I own one, can't recommend. Maybe I got a lemon, but I didn't get the distance. Motor is making weird noises. Warning motor needs to be checked and greased right out of the box, maybe why weird noises now since I didn't check right out of box and just rode it 100mile. Tires multiple flats right away until I upgraded tires (rides way better with new tires). Rear tire major pain to get off, chain and brake need to be removed to get off tire. Cruise control nice, but flakey, sometimes 1min before engaging, few times engaged after a little boost in parking lot and had to hit brake quickly. 26amp draw full power. lvl 3 pulls about 12amp at 19mph, best speed for distance/time in my opinion. At 300 miles now, will ride till it dies and get something better. Does ride nice though, but front shocks are crap.

Fun video! Well done

These batteries should be standard to keep you exploring more and enjoying your ride through nature.

Pretty soon we wont need cars with range this long lol

The real question is, is it UL certified? Or will it burn your house down while you sleep?

I don't have a license so I ride my e-bikes and use it as if the car it would be awesome to have a 60 amp hour battery or even 2. 30 amp hour batteries my average daily commute is 35 to 45 miles. The bike I ride has a 20 amp hour battery I get about 30 miles per charge but I also have a fast charger that recharges battery in an hour and a half pretty much works out where I go to where I need to go charge the bike go back home charge the bike again 4 the next day

why not make battery size an option and offer several different sizes that are washable depending on task at hand for each ride

all i can say is - what a deal ! they checked all the boxes. it would be a great deal at $2000.

Yes, I believe most bikes, you are paying for only the looks not to performance for example the super 73rx

Looks like a fun ride! Why not take bike paths when available?

*Should checked tires! Other videos all had issues with tires being out balance bad* easy fix, you should check any bike when planning any trip

I was waiting for a review like this for a while now. I really like these bikes (this one and the A8 also). Somehow this company managed to put a decent price tag with quality key components and pick an unimpressively unmemorizable name. I'd say that's still fine.

Please make a video making these faster I have the maxpro a8

That's a pretty hairy ride around Lake Tahoe to be testing an e-bike on. There is no bike lane on the east side to speak of and traffic flies along the one lane each way parts. Then you hit the residential on the Westside and everybody wants to pull out in front of you. Live up that area and I used to ride my motorcycle around the lake every now and then and I would not do it on an e-bike, any bicycle for that matter. The chances of someone hitting you from behind are pretty high on a bicycle. If you're going to do it, do it in the morning, during the week and especially not during the tourist summer months. LOL. You could do it during the middle of the night but then you might centerpunch a bear.

I would call this an electric moped , not an e- bike. This is more appropriate for folks who NEED the extra range, as the battery only lasts about 3 to 4 years and costs more than $850.

My biggest stopping point for that bike is the battery is not UL certified or even listed. That's alot of batteries to go up in flame if it does.

Fantastic.
