I do door dash on my 2015 RadRover, my city it pretty big, and that bike has a 20mi range, I am looking for options with more range and so far I have seen these bikes and brands, being touted as long range, and good for deliveries.
1.Aniioki A8 and AQ177
2.Walkee H7
3.Tesway X7
4.Eahora Juliet
So far I am interested in the Aniioki A8, so anyone have further details about them, what their QC and QA are like and support, and information about the other brands would be helpful as well.

My son has the Aniioki A8. (and I have the A9). When we received the A8, the wiring harness was damaged and the ebike wouldn't operate. Customer service was good in my opinion. Aniioki sent a replacement without any problems. Shipping was a little slow, but nothing outrageous. I think they had to ship from China.
The A8 and A9 are built like tanks and are quite heavy for ebikes. They are almost the weight of a small motorcycle. The range of both is great. I can get around 90 miles on a charge with throttle only. The charging time is long however (especially if the battery is really low). One thing I noticed that I don't care for is that there are little holes in the compartment near the crank where the controller is housed. These could let water and mud into the controller compartment. I put black electrical tape over them.
I removed the tape to show the holes. It needed renewed anyway.

Good to know, thanks! was the wiring harness hard to replace or was it a simple hot swap?

It wasn't too bad actually. I had a tiny bit of trouble feeding it through the frame to the controller, but nothing serious.

neat, I saw on the website, the 2026 modles, have some sort of light looking things under the handle bars does your have them as well, and if so what are they exactly, the website doesn't mention them, but they are in the pictures.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean. I have the headlight and signals. I don't have any lights directly under the handle bars. Mine does not have the little hydraulic reservoirs like the new ones do if that might be what you're seeing.

They look to be additional light? I know one of the models comes with blinkers afixed to the headlight via brackets of some kind.
But are these extra headlights or blinkers of some kind? I'm not super well versed in bike lights, all I know is my blackmagic bike lite is cool

Oh. That's the AQ177. We have the A8 and A9 models which do not have those. And I don't know what those lights do. Maybe they are signals.

This picture is from the A8 model the AQ177 has them too.

You are right. My bad. I found this one: https://aniioki.com/products/aniioki-a8-pro-max
I guess my son's A8 is older as he does not have those lights.
