After reviewing the Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max a few years ago, one thing stood out above everything else: range. The bike seemed to go forever. Fast forward to 2026 and Aniioki has taken a very different approach with the new A9 Pro Max lineup. Instead of focusing solely on battery capacity, the company has built what feels like a lightweight electric motorcycle with pedals attached.
The result is one of the most powerful e-bikes we’ve tested.
With multiple versions available ranging from the A9 Pro Max 2.0 all the way up to the 72V-powered GT model, Aniioki is targeting riders who want speed, range and capability far beyond what a traditional commuter e-bike can offer.
What immediately became clear during testing is that this isn’t a bike for everyone. It’s heavy. Really heavy. It’s also extremely fast and demands respect from the moment you twist the throttle.
Aniioki A9 Pro Max Models Explained
Aniioki currently offers several versions of the A9 Pro Max platform.
A9 Pro Max 2.0
- Up to 45 mph
- Peak 6000W dual motor system
- 60V 70Ah or 80Ah battery options
A9 Pro Max 3.0
- Up to 51 mph
- Peak 7000W output
- Updated display and integrated camera system
A9 Pro Max GT
- Up to 54 mph
- 72V 70Ah battery
- Highest performance model in the lineup
Regardless of which version you choose, the overall character remains the same: massive battery capacity, oversized components and enough power to blur the line between e-bike and electric motorcycle.
Power That Demands Respect
The first thing you notice aboard the A9 Pro Max is the acceleration.
Unlike many fat tire e-bikes that gradually build speed, the A9 launches aggressively the moment the throttle is engaged. During testing we quickly learned to start every ride in the lowest power mode before stepping things up. Twist the throttle too aggressively and the bike immediately reminds you that thousands of watts are waiting beneath your right hand.
This isn’t necessarily a negative. In fact, riders with motorcycle, dirt bike or ATV experience will likely appreciate how responsive the bike feels. However, newer riders should take time to familiarize themselves with the power delivery before unleashing the bike’s full potential.
The dual motor setup provides impressive climbing ability and plenty of confidence on steep roads, gravel and rough terrain. Aniioki claims up to 250 Nm of torque and after riding the bike it’s easy to believe.
Heavy, Fast and Built for Strong Riders
The second thing you notice is the weight.
Heavy.
Very heavy.
This is not the kind of e-bike you casually toss onto a standard bicycle rack after a ride. Most owners will be better served with a motorcycle-rated rack or transport solution.
The upside is stability. At speed the bike feels planted and confidence inspiring. The oversized frame, massive battery and heavy-duty suspension create a riding experience that feels remarkably solid, especially compared to lighter e-bikes that can become nervous at higher speeds.
Aniioki rates the frame for riders up to 500 pounds combined payload. Looking at the oversized frame, suspension and wheelset, it appears built for exactly that sort of abuse.
Tall riders in particular will appreciate the larger dimensions. Unlike many e-bikes that feel cramped, the A9 Pro Max feels substantial.
Big Battery, Big Range
Battery technology continues to be one of Aniioki’s biggest strengths.
Depending on the model selected, riders can choose between 60V 70Ah, 60V 80Ah or 72V 70Ah battery systems. The company claims ranges exceeding 200 miles under ideal pedal assist conditions.
As always, range claims depend heavily on rider weight, terrain, wind, speed and throttle usage. Riders using maximum power settings consistently will see significantly less range.
Still, there is no denying the sheer size of these battery systems.
For riders covering long distances, exploring ranch properties, hunting access roads or simply wanting fewer charging cycles, the A9 Pro Max offers serious capacity.
Technology Everywhere
The A9 Pro Max comes loaded with features.
The startup process itself feels more motorcycle than bicycle. The key fob security system took a few minutes to figure out initially, requiring a double click before powering on the bike. Once activated, the onboard computer literally talks to you.
From there the feature list keeps growing.
Notable features include:
- Integrated front and rear turn signals
- Built-in recording camera
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Loud motorcycle-style horn
- High and low beam LED headlight
- Rear brake light
- Key fob alarm system
- Large multifunction display
The built-in camera is one of the more unique features we’ve seen recently and reinforces the feeling that Aniioki is trying to build something different than the average e-bike.
Serious Stopping Power
With great speed comes the need for equally impressive braking performance.
Aniioki equips the A9 Pro Max with a unique CBS braking system paired with dual front brake rotors. Marketing claims aside, what matters is how the bike feels when speed needs to disappear quickly.
The answer is reassuring.
Given the bike’s weight and performance potential, strong brakes aren’t optional. They’re mandatory. Fortunately, braking performance never felt underbuilt during testing.
Combined with the oversized tires and stable chassis, the braking package inspires confidence even when traveling at higher speeds.
Ride Quality
The custom dual crown air fork and rear suspension do a solid job keeping the bike composed over rough terrain.
Large 26 x 4.8-inch fat tires absorb plenty of chatter while the suspension smooths out impacts from washboard roads, potholes and uneven surfaces.
This isn’t a mountain bike and shouldn’t be treated like one, but for gravel roads, ranch roads, bike paths and mixed terrain adventures, the suspension package works well.
The upright riding position and large saddle further reinforce the bike’s long-distance comfort.

Overall Impression
Aniioki A9 Pro Max ($3,199-$4,399): Less Bicycle, More Electric Motorcycle.
Compared to the Aniioki AQ177 Pro Max we reviewed previously, the A9 Pro Max feels like the next evolution of the brand. The focus has shifted from simply going farther to going faster, carrying more weight and delivering a riding experience unlike almost anything else in the e-bike category.
Everything about this bike is oversized. The battery. The brakes. The motors. The frame. Even the feature list.
While Aniioki remains a lesser-known name compared to some of the industry’s biggest players, the company continues building bikes that stand apart from the crowd.
If you’re looking for something lightweight and easy to transport, keep shopping.
If you’re looking for one of the most powerful and feature-rich e-bikes we’ve tested, the Aniioki A9 Pro Max deserves a serious look.
