I have this bike. As in all these bike ads, the quoted range is complete rubbish, a ride I took this morning of 19 miles using mostly the two lowest settings left me just able to get home with low power level in the red. To get any reasonable range you need to be on Eco on level ground and weigh the same as a jockey, use it to power up a hill and it sucks the battery dry. One of the reasons it's light is that it has a small battery in the frame. It is a nice bike to ride though.
Range is always overstated. I have a Magnum Peak T5 (not available in the UK, it's a 500W motor) that I chose because it's s generic battery pack. Came with 15Ah but I bought a 21Ah for extended range. I do 30-40 mile rides on weekend and no range worries, using tour and sport settings (eco is the lowest, just offsets the extra weight of the bike).
I know a lot about bikes, been a keen cyclist since I was a kid. I also have a Super 73 RX and many other bikes in my Garage. Sur Ron Ordered too to go biking on trails.
We live in the Highlands and have two e-Ranger Bikes from Lincolnshire. They have been fantastic. Yes, heavyish but really powerful on these steep hills and a 60 mile range . Very happy indeed. Nice dashboard too ! All the information you need ! As for Electric Cars I'll keep to my Isuzu D'max pick up truck ! Bike won't tow the animal trailers ! 🤪
Great video lee, but can't be better than your super 73, put this bike in a cold shed or garage over winter and your battery will die for good, these e bikes with fixed batteries are useless.
An excellent review of a Fiido ebike Lee. Looks a proper practical ebike too. glad to hear about the optional mud guards and the bluetooth lock! Awesome. Thanks for the heads up!
I also have this bike and the range is as limited as others have said. I do have the range extender battery as well though which overcomes that issue. It really is a fun bike to ride and, unlike other brands I contacted, the customer service was actually very good and responsive when I had issues connecting the extra battery. I would and do recommend it. Got me back on a bike after surgery.
Be very very careful Lee. Ebikes and Escooters are a lot of fun but only ever charge whilst awake and store outside in the rare but potentially catastrophic results should it self combust.
Hi Lee no back mudguard one will get soaked in the wet,also my friend I have watched all your EV bike videos and correct me if I am wrong but you have endorsed each one.🤔❤️
My Raleigh Mustang Elite is that weight, less 3.5kg when I remove the battery to lift it onto the roof bars. Nice to ride, long range and handles well - carbon front forks and mid-drive motor. Good and healthy to assist at my age and health - wouldn't get out and about otherwise!
Nothing better than riding a bike and if it is an e-bike even better.Mallorca is the mecca of cycling.Profesional teams come to Mallorca in the offseason to train.Palma wants to become a huge urban forest.Greenery galore.Gotta love it and riders will appreciate it.
A rear pannier would carry bags and keep water from the road from staining your clothes... Pannier bags are a game changer for doing everyday things. Even, here where it is usually dry, rain and snow is a serious issue for regular clothes. I couldn't imagine using an e-bike. Cycling is the best form of exercise. But, I'm stubborn; I even use a dumb-phone. I recently lost a 1982 Huffy 10-speed, best bike I've ever had.
Mr.Lee, you are a good salesman, the Fiido is a neat looking E - bike... I will stick with my TREK 6000 MTB i need the excercise due to our cold NSW winter in Oz 😩 Au
Ahead of winterised full mudguards, just fit a small plastic 'Ass-Saver' under the seat. You might also want a suspension-seatpost on that or ride with a wrap-around lower-back protector, such as a motocross kidney belt (I use and recommend a Leatt 3DF Kidney Belt).
I was thinking about to buy this bike. I was watching a lot of reviews, cause i never had a ebike before. I was watching a video before this that said the process for this bike (order) is kind of slow.. you have to wait a month.. after you order it they never tell you the exact date when the order is gonna be delivered. Did you have the same issue ?
18kg is not an ultra light bicycle, it is a very heavy bicycle. My steel tourer (across countries) weighs 15kg. Still, it's a good looking bike, 250w is the same as the Orbea "just enough" bikes, but l'm not convinced, l'm 60 now and after 30/40miles in the Dales l'd like a bit of help in my last hour back home making it less of a chore, but that's offset by having 8kg more to peddle around prior than my normal road bike. Good review though, like to see you do more. 👍
I have had one for a few weeks. Agree it is nicely subtle. In reality you can get about 15 miles. But it is light. Mudguards are a pain to fit. A lot lighter than my last one, I just hope it lasts as long.
Never mind the bloody bike tyres, what’s the battery like, is it lithium iron, is it solid state, or the same old potential spontaneous combustion battery that kills the technology for me, especially if its Chinese like byd cars. I’ve just ordered a mobility scooter as my health is progressively getting worse, but I would not have the LI battery for the world and opted for a conventional gel lead acid alternative. I do not trust the technology or those that are behind it. Ergo I will not consider an ev car until the solid state battery becomes the norm.
I opted for the 'cheapest on Amazon' option, Ipoo SnowBike 48v 2400ah £800 😮20 miles range at 18-22mph, 😊top speed 27mph Mileage just around 3000 miles, on third innertube, and rear tyre needs replacement 😊 but so far, quite happy
Take it to Blackpool and ride with Stephen from Starr Gate to Fleetwood along the sea wall. Would make a great vlog, even better if Frank did the drone shots
I have messaged you on another video of yours about Knob gear, driving a 9 to ll Porsche around London who is on UA-cam so funny to watch,so a challenge for you and Geoff buys cars both to do the the same 😂 😂👍
I own a Raleigh Motus similar spec and it looks, mine has a large 400 watt battery other options are 300 or 500. I'm amazed at the performance it has, and I'm 68! the only problem I have with it is me! I can't get my lazy arse on it enough! Must do better this summer!
Well, there's a turnup for the books. I watched this video, or at least a bit of it, when it first came out, and it made no impression on me whatsoever. But a little while after that I watched another video review which actually said useful things about the bike as opposed to word-salad wittering, and was quite interested. Then the reviewer mentioned that there is a ladies' model as well (the C22) and well guess what, I'm expecting mine by the end of the week. I might even let you know how I get on. My main concern is the range, as I don't really want to have to fit one of these range extender batteries. Decent, informative reviews test that, you know, and that's where I got my information from. (That the manufacturer's estimates are basically speculative fiction. And measured at 32 degrees centigrade. Temperatures like that will obviously make any battery-operated motor go further, but in your dreams am I riding in that.) Also I don't know yet if I will be able to lift the thing into my car, even though it's pretty light. Fingers crossed, because being able to take it places would be a serious bonus. My electric car, that would be, of course. And another great bonus is knowing that if I want to stay out camping in the car for the night (heating and entertainment systems on of course) I can just recharge the bike from the car for another day's fun without having to find any mains electricity in between.
Lee, when you're sitting atop a huge amount of activated batteries, how much more susceptible does this make you to being struck by lightning during a thunderstorm? A LOT, I should think!
huge compared to a phone, small compared to other things. What is the chance's of getting hit in a thunderstorm? Is there a safety concern that we should be worried about? I don't personally ride in thunderstorms or see many people do this but maybe this concern should be pushed to the gov so they can warn us of the danger?
As a young lad ( back when the Rolling Stones were just stationary pebbles ) l used to ride my bike out in the biggest storms, t shirt and shorts on about 2 miles ride to my grans, l would get soaked to the skin but l would ride no hands, arms in the air revelling in the thunder n lightning an ozone smell stung inside my nostrils, that and smoke from coal and wood fires being pushed down by air pressure, huge rumbles of thunder and displays of lightning lighting up the sky like a huge flash bulb on a massive camera, never gave it tought Now im 67 back on the saddle, and enjoying it all again.
@@decayintheuk 👍 same here, I have a range extender on my ORBEA Gain, so weight probably around 15kg and does well over a 100 miles with the extender and I’m not a light guy
decay. I don't consider 18 kg particularly light. I added a Revos e-assist friction kit to my bog standard entry level road bike, finishing up with a - less sophisticated, admittedly - very rough equivalent to the Gain, weighing 13.5 kg, at an all up cost of about 900 euros. There are economical ways round this.
It’s basically a bike with a small battery. I bet a couple of hundred years ago the pioneers of the bicycle thought that this mode of transport would still be considered the future of personal transport in the 21st century! What happened to the predictions of the 20 th century by Arthur C Clarke and others about how we would develop personal mobility?
I’d rather the old fashion bike any day. Like the electric car the battery cost more than the vehicle so it will be the same with electric bike. My bike is not electric & is light weight & great to ride.😊
Rear hub motor unfortunately so not efficient for going up hills, battery will drop fast i bet when climbing. I have 4 ebikes and only one i ride is the mid drive, the rest are rear hub and powerful ones at that sp still fun but sometjing about mid deive that really makes it more useful and fun. For £1090 though this is an ok deal especially with toque sensor.
Rear hub motor is different system compared to mid drive motor. If you use the same gearing in both systems then there is no difference if watts are the same. Changing gears on the mid drive changes the torque whereas the hub motor torque is set to the internal planetary gearing.
Well this is a nice change and you set a really good example by wearing a helmet. I'd also advise gloves, they can save really nasty gravel burns on your hands if you come off.
Well after the Labour government announced they have to lower the country's debt currently around 20 billion , the announcement of adding road tax to EV's , how long will it be before they tax Electric bikes ?
Oh, and they do make smaller cars, both BEV, hybrid and ice. You moan they don't buy you never buy them anyway! You moan but don't appear to want them anyway!
@@TheMacMaster That's really interesting, because I was wondering if I could get the one I've ordered into my MG4. I presume you're taking the front wheel off? How easy is it to get that off and on again? And how easy is it to lift the bike in and out of the car, given that I'm not six-feet-stupid and a little old lady to boot? Do you realise that if your fancy Porsche has vehicle to load, like all decent EVs have, you can recharge the bike from the car while you're out and about? Ah, the joy and versatility of EVs. What I really want to know is whether I can ride the thing across the Corrie Yairack pass. I suppose the only way to find out is to try. If the battery dies at the top I can always freewheel back down.
18kg is light? My de Rosa bike weighs 18 pounds not kilograms and that's not light by today's road racing standards. Riding a cycle makes you fit. If you're going to put a motor on it what's the point?
Motors do have a point: my knees suffer sometimes and if I don't take glucosamine, they pack in! So I've just fitted a Swytch kit to my Dawes discovery (£500) and I now have the confidence to ride again. The motor helps whilst I warm up or go up hills. I use it on level 1 (like eco) when out for leisure or 3 when I want to ride for a purpose like an appointment.
Good Evening Lee. What a very Lovely and User Friendly E Bike. Fiido, have really gotten it spot on. Loving the colour of Darkish Green. Ultra Light weight. Very easy to Assemble. It looked like You really had Great Fun riding this Gorgeous E Bike Lee. Not a bad price i reckon. Great Quality, Good looks, Excellent Durability. Nice one Lee.
@@TheMacMaster A lock , a lock . They would just put it over their shoulder and do a runner , unless you carry a hardened steel chain around your neck everywhere you go . Not really practical Lee , 5/10 for colour 😂 woof woof 😅
@@TheMacMaster So at 60 and older they couldn't steel your bike probably because they wouldn't be able to get their leg over and probably don't anymore 😂👍
its a pretty good bike but a lot of the parts look cheap. And 21 miles in turbo (if it does do that) aint great either. BUT if your price is right at 1090 quid with discount, thats about right. No way is this bike worth 1600 quid. I get 35 miles in turbo on my giant fastroad 2021 e plus, can now get them for 2200 quid.
Would have one in a minute BUT in my area these electric bikes are stolen at an alarming rate along with motorcycles. Visitors beware keep your motorcycle away from the Edinburgh area.
Fido emailed and said do you want to test an electric bike. I emailed back and said that's not an electric bike. They emailed back and said it is. I emailed back and said it doesn't look like an electric bike. They emailed back and said it is. I emailed back and said really? They emailed back and said yeah. So I emailed back and said no way. They emailed back and said lol. I emailed back and said 😂. They emailed back and said so... I emailed back and and so what? They emailed back and said do you want to? Etc etc

Do you realise that if your fancy Porsche has vehicle to load, like all decent EVs have, you can recharge the bike from the car while you're out and about? Ah, the joy and versatility of EVs.
What I really want to know is whether I can ride the thing across the Corrie Yairack pass. I suppose the only way to find out is to try. If the battery dies at the top I can always freewheel back down.
18kg is light? My de Rosa bike weighs 18 pounds not kilograms and that's not light by today's road racing standards. Riding a cycle makes you fit. If you're going to put a motor on it what's the point?
18kg would be heavy for an 80`s full suss!
Motors do have a point: my knees suffer sometimes and if I don't take glucosamine, they pack in! So I've just fitted a Swytch kit to my Dawes discovery (£500) and I now have the confidence to ride again. The motor helps whilst I warm up or go up hills. I use it on level 1 (like eco) when out for leisure or 3 when I want to ride for a purpose like an appointment.
What is the point? To get from a to b of course you silly fart!!
I too have suffered from poor knees. Both knees have meniscus tears. It was cycling that helped by strengthening the quads.
Good Evening Lee. What a very Lovely and User Friendly E Bike. Fiido, have really gotten it spot on. Loving the colour of Darkish Green. Ultra Light weight. Very easy to Assemble. It looked like You really had Great Fun riding this Gorgeous E Bike Lee. Not a bad price i reckon. Great Quality, Good looks, Excellent Durability. Nice one Lee.
Thanks Jonathan.
So Yeah , it looks ok but what do you do with it if you pop in a shop one your way home ,,,, Gone in sixty seconds 😂.
Use a lock?
@@TheMacMaster A lock , a lock . They would just put it over their shoulder and do a runner , unless you carry a hardened steel chain around your neck everywhere you go . Not really practical Lee , 5/10 for colour 😂 woof woof 😅
60 seconds, more like 10 these days 😕
Where I lie no one is pinching it. I live in the countryside and everyone is over 60 year old lol
@@TheMacMaster So at 60 and older they couldn't steel your bike probably because they wouldn't be able to get their leg over and probably don't anymore 😂👍
Nice looking bike.
its a pretty good bike but a lot of the parts look cheap. And 21 miles in turbo (if it does do that)
aint great either. BUT if your price is right at 1090 quid with discount, thats about right. No way is this bike worth 1600 quid. I get 35 miles in turbo on my giant fastroad 2021 e plus, can now get them for 2200 quid.
Nice video Lee, Loved the bike too. 👍
Battery 300:- pounds , NO TO ELECTRIC Cars, Airplanes, Buses, Fire Truck, Ambulance, Motorcycle, Mopeds, Scooters, BICYCLES, Lawnmowers ! NO NO NO😂
Vibrators?
@@TheMacMasterTrust you 😂😂😂 don't forget it's a family channel 😂😂👍
I meant in Phones. Not sure what you meant?
Hi Lee when will you be doing more videos with geoff buys cars
Would have one in a minute BUT in my area these electric bikes are stolen at an alarming rate along with motorcycles. Visitors beware keep your motorcycle away from the Edinburgh area.
Fido emailed and said do you want to test an electric bike. I emailed back and said that's not an electric bike. They emailed back and said it is. I emailed back and said it doesn't look like an electric bike. They emailed back and said it is. I emailed back and said really? They emailed back and said yeah. So I emailed back and said no way. They emailed back and said lol. I emailed back and said 😂. They emailed back and said so... I emailed back and and so what? They emailed back and said do you want to? Etc etc
Fido is a famous name for pet dogs. I laugh at this.
I had an Orbea e road bike that only weighed 11kg. I have more of a problem with e bikes than electric cars
I take it you get to keep the bike for free
Checked out other reviews. Wouldn't touch this with a barge pole
I've had it for 7 months and not had a problem, it's been great. Probably need to put the mudguards on though as in winter it gets messy.
All the reviews I have seen are positive so you must have worked hard to find a negative one.... or written one 😮
@@TheMacMaster Best mudguards are Mudhuggers 👍
Car manufacturers are already talking about ditching electric
An often repeated lie. Car manufacturers are just doing a bit more hybrid to tie their sales over a little longer. Then back to EVs in another year...
A bike is supposed to be affordable you spend on the bike and repairs no fuel cost but e bike pay to charge
“A bike is supposed to be affordable” who made that rule up? The imagination police?
@@alexpiptom which capitalist made the rule it’s supposed to be expensive
review a Raleigh Grifter! lolol
The electric bike world is like human evolution
Hey hun that bike looks fantastic and easy to ride . xx❤
