Last go around I bought a few bikes and two of the socling branded bikes, totally different models from each other and from different vendors showed up with the same issue where the bottom bracket was cranked on so tight I had to beat the living hell out of it with a hammer to get the adjustable nut loose enough that I could get the pedals to turn even a bit. One one of the two bikes, once I could turn the pedals it became obvious that the axle through the bottom bracket was installed backwards causing the chain to hit the battery because the axles as longer on one side to accommodate the chainring. Once they could be ridden, one of them had a battery that did not seem great. It went 8 miles at speed, dropped 1 bar and then fell the remaining 3 bars over a mile leaving me to pedal this not designed to be pedaled bike about 2 miles back to my house.

I hate anecdotal stuff like this but those were the only two socling bikes I had so in my mind it's a 100% failure rate across multiple samples. I really doubt that's the case but maybe don't buy too many at once even if the price is good.

That sounds like a genuinely rough couple of bikes — having to beat on a bottom bracket and then pedal it two miles home is miserable, and I can't blame you at all for being wary. I'd probably feel the same in your shoes.
Just wanted to add one different data point for anyone else reading, not to push back on your take: I've got a couple of these as well and mine have been fine — bottom bracket and pedals were normal out of the box, no chain rubbing the battery, and the battery's been holding up okay on my usual rides. That obviously doesn't undo what happened to yours, and two bad ones in a row is a bad run by any measure. Just a case of mixed experiences, for what it's worth. Hope it all gets sorted out.
One thing I went in knowing, though: bikes in this price range pretty much all use the same type of battery pack, and once winter sets in and the temperature drops, less range is just how these cells behave — a normal seasonal characteristic, not a quality defect. It's the same across the board with these packs, so for what these cost, it's a trade-off I'm personally fine with. And honestly, an e-bike at this price, delivered to the door, is genuinely hard to say no to — even after reading what you went through.
