Excellent summation. Thanks for posting! I've been looking for a 2nd e-bike that offers lightweight portability. This Fiido seems like a good bet, but like you, I like to go off "the beaten path" a bit, and the low hanging chain is likely a deal breaker. I'm also looking at the new single speed Propella Mini (also 33lbs) for its low cost and simplicity. It doesn't fold, but the quick release front tire might negate the necessity of folding. I'm very curious to learn how a single speed performs with this size frame. Perhaps you can get a hold of one for review in the not-too-distant future.
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words! :) And heck yeah that would be a fun bike to review. I am also curious about how the single speed would perform. Hopefully they got that front chainring dialed in just right. :P Where are my Propella reps at? hmu at show@ennovationnation.com ;)
Oh man...that's a pretty decent comparison you have there. I've been in touch with the Fiido guys about reviewing the X, but nothing has been confirmed yet. I'd love to review it though.
Hey thanks for watching! You know…I don’t know if there’s much if any. Most of the drag is gravity and most of that gravity is from too many breakfast tacos on the weekend lol
Yes there is. The bike will not coast for more than a few meters. I am only 72kg so weight has nothing to do with it. The motor drags the well almost as if the breaks are half on. Awful.
How do you lock it securely given that’s an open frame and foldable?

Now that fiido x is out, are you going to post a review for that. I'm debating between the fiido x and carbo x

Is there any motor drag when coasting? Great review. Thanks
