I like that it is marketed as an e scooter, not trying to masquerade as a bicycle. Very cool, reminds me of the mini bikes we used to ride as kids, with old flathead engines from lawn mowers, this is so much more useful and functional.
I have owned 2 different fiidos models in London for like the past 2-3 years. So happy with the d4s that I brought another just recently. This looks pretty cool too.
You got mysub just because how much you made me laugh when you was acting cool sitting on the bike and then loosing your balance ending up on the floor so glad you didn't cut that out 😅😊😂
Looks like a really cool platform to mod and customize. The only thing I can see from this brief glimpse of the bike is maybe move the foot pegs forward on the frame for a more comfortable riding position. That and secondly an adjustable seat.
Nice! I made a bike like this years ago, welded up a frame and added a petrol engine , go kart clutch etc... I have a spare 1500w hub and 2 48v 10Ah batteries and have been thinking of using the hub as a power source using the disc mount to mount a sprocket then through a gear system. future project :)
The future of urban commuting is very exciting. When I retire in twenty years I can only imagine what is going to be available on the market. Perhaps we will have batteries with 1,000+ km on one charge. I see myself driving around on a ebike or escooter for my daily errands when I'm an old guy.
I had my first fall off my e-scooter today (wearing my helmet of course!)! I was only stationary and reversing sideways on the pavement (like repositioning it to cross over) thankfully, but it was a good one.. And I thought I was going to get away with never having a fall, lol the hubris..
I would love this bike, I really like the speed. I wish the other fiido models had the same speed as this. This would be awesome to ride 2 miles just to go to work.
Completely illegal and does not even have pedals. At least if you build a traditional looking powerful electric bike you can pretend you are pedalling and blend in with other cyclists. This is basically a moped that will get you pulled over and you'll end up with 6 points + fine.
Apart from the olympic park / private land - I don't think there is anywhere where you can legally ride this bike... So setting it up as commuting solution is a little bit deceptive. Although I love the idea of something like this eventually being useable. I've wanted an electric scooter for a while, but still waiting on the laws to change.

Yeah it goes too fast and is even illegal under the moped classification so closest it comes to is a motorbike which this one doesn't go fast enough to go on the freeway for but it would only be allowed on car roads no bike lanes
I was looking at the Fiido Q1s 3 weeks ago they way they do them up makes it look sweet. I would love to get one but its the law in the UK that puts a downer on Escooters and Ebikes.
Make a bike with forks or fenders that have the batteries in them that sit lower than the axles, and you instantly boost stability beyond any other electric bike.
@@truetech4158 How you gonna put battery's below the axle genius? 😅 Are you aware the axles are just about the lowest point on the machine 🤡 only the bottom portion of the wheels is lower to the ground, LET'S HERE IT MR PHYSICS
@@ianmangham4570 you behave like you really have to struggle with physics to make sense of it. You willfully overlook the distance between the axles and the ground, why?
I agree. I think he meant 500W nominal. More than 2000W through through that tiny motor and the risk of frying it would be considerable IMHO. I could certainly see this take 750W, maybe even 1000W reliably. 5000W would be enough to take you over 100 km/h. Yet this thing seem to top out at around 60 km/h.
A scooter that looks like an E bike, more confusion for the cops, another loophole to travel at 65 kph with no restrictions, wow the E revolution is here to stay!
Ive made an electric trike with written off cellular tower batteries. 210ah 36v pack...range 350+km on a single charge...best part it was almost free....Always amazes me how high the prices are for ready made ebikes...
i just got one of these little babies in Manila, Philippines (at a shop called Pro Scooter).. i got the Fiido Q1s (which has way better suspension/Shock Absorbers). i actually came to pay off and pick up a stand up scooter (Dual Motor power muththa'fu#ka) and i saw the Fiido Q1s.. and went hmmmmmm.. asked questions, and gradually switched over.. So, some of the things that they allowed me to do in this shop (at an extra cost - of course), that helped that switchover decision.. where upgrades that make this "Scooter" more powerful... First i got a longer seat put on it (like yours in this video).. and asked to have an ignition switch installed (to turn it on with a key).. Then the most important upgrade was putting in a more powerful BATTERY.. it gives this little badboy way more torque, speed (around 40 to 45 mph.. with me on it - i'm about 200 lbs, 5ft 11).. and the battery last way longer.. Did my first test (after 2 rainy days in Manila).. and i'm very happy with it.. it Climbs hills really cool.. just found that out coming from an underground parking lot.. and it speeds down the street. At first i was being super careful, but i'm getting more use to how it rides now, and i can see myself being a super freak on it.. GET A HELMET Before you got nuts on it. I would like to add, 2 things i had problems with (out the box).. First, the way it accelerates when you hit the throttle (its herky jerky), and trying to adjust to that.. when i told the Shop owner.. he said "oh, use this app".. and transferred an app to my phone. That App made all the difference in the world.. you are able to calibrate "Fast Start" & "Slow Start" settings that make the throttle acceleration more smoother (i had a similar problem with my Wide Wheel Pro scooter, and had to order a whole different throttle to make that issue go away)... The other little issue is sometimes the bike.. oops "Scooter" tends to want to pop a wheely.. and i have to be careful not to sit to far back on the seat when i'm starting off.. other than that.. This thing is a beast (with the battery upgrade) .. The brakes are GREAT.. & i love that there are brakes for both tires.. I added an aftermarket headlight on the handle bars that has 800 Lumens, it came with a tail light, but i don't do much night riding, i'm not sure that's so safe, with how small this thing is.. it might be hard to be seen).. But this is going to be one of my new best friends.. Searching for a Lock for it (the one that came with it is a joke).. Any suggestions???
I bought a Jetson Bolt and honestly it was the best purchase I have ever made in my life TBH. I don't even drink and I ran into a liquor store for someone else bringing it actually in with me when I stepped up to the counter to pay it was slightly out my view and someone went right out the door with it. Mind you I happen to live in the most dangerous city in America highest murder rate and everything else to match. It takes a certain type of person to live here, just sayin. I haven't been able to afford to get another Jetson bolt since but I am so eager to one day get another one but I'm not too optimistic due to poverty. I'm saying this to say check out the Jetson Bolt or the Jetson Bolt Pro they're absolutely amazing and the absolute best buy for how cheap it is. 😘😘😘
It'll be around the same price as a used motorcycle, and close a new pre-made ebike with less or near the amount of power compared to customizing it to your liking/needs.
Good info. For me ebike without full suspension is non starter. Especially for heavy one. Vibrations will shatter it into pieces in long term use. I like this one but would not ride it fast. Looks dangerous for fast rides. I like small dimensions too.
Loving it nothing out of the ordinary for me just a set of pedals and a bbshd bbs02 even tongsheng maybe a CYC of some type with an ASI Controller the traditional stuff keep it simple like myself great video thanks mate
Thanks for the video, the best I saw on the Fiido Q1 / Q1S!! I want one, I may buy it in a few months, but yes, I will mod it for sure, at least have a 2 or 3kW motor(s).
Love it, but is is so obviously illegal, you wouldn't even need to be stopped by a cop with knowledge. We need the laws changing. They need to release a on the road license moped version. Why even offer 250w with no pedal and a throttle it doesn't remotely comply with current laws. Wonder how hard it would be to get it through msva test and how much insurance would be.
@@Tresla i think they should be treated differently, upto abut 1kw, USA has a sensiable implementation imo with there 3 classes. but my point is at the moment these arent legal and any cop could spot that from a 100m away, unlike a ebike with pedals that is just over the wattage.
@@superted2552 You are wrong. But I'm sure you really know that. It doesn't meet EAPC rules. It's effectively a moped and would need to be registered, taxed, insured etc
@@Alan-xxxxxx No, a moped would, by definition, have pedals. This is a motor vehicle, which would need to be registered with the DVLA, taxed and insured, to be legal to use on a public road, or indeed any public space.
@@superted2552 Nope, it's a motor vehicle in the eyes of the law, just the same as a kid's motorbike, or a ride on lawnmower. Illegal to use on the road....
It is not an e-Bike as it has no bicycling mechanism, it should require a motorcycle driving license and damage insurance( E-Scooter allows you to kick for power :-)
I got a q1s with the same specs. Motorcyclists chat me up at red lights all the time. People are always shocked by how fast it accelerates. I wear a motorcycle helmet with it.
I mean I wanted a suron or a super 73 for the longest time but they are so expensive and modding them to their full potential would be really expensive as well and it's just hard for me to justify that at where I'm at in life at the moment.
The small size of it clearly indicates a lot of uncomfortable riders steering away from it including couriers because it’s no doubt too small to feel comfortable and safe as in noticeable to other road users while riding this wee no doubt really cool looking ebike but it’s simply too small to be accepted on roads without being pulled over and most likely fined by the police, ebikes which are of normal bike size are here to stay and be accepted on the roads either if road illegal or not as the police generally won’t back-an-eye if your riding at no faster than 20/25mph then it’s not a hazard nor a hazard if you’re easily noticeable to other road users as this is clearly a big consideration everyone who rides on the road thinks about due to the obviousness about not being seen then suddenly being hit because well like I said already if you’re on a bike which is too small then it’s more difficult to notice and makes the rider difficult to see especially in busy city’s which is where ebikes dominate
Punctuations are too valuable to use on TH-cam comments I agree so thanks for splurging and giving us the one comma because I haven't seen one for a long time being so small and hard to see not being used often it's like people don't bother to even separate any thoughts and just let the comment keep going like every thought that comes up out of their heads without putting in any pauses or breaks to make it any easier to read when you're on the toilet bowl so long that the seat leaves those really deep red marks on your bum and you've forgotten to replace the toilet paper just leaving the old tube on the tube with with one square like that Seinfeld episode as if that's going to do anything but there you are and so you turn your sock inside out even though it was the one you got for your nineteenth birthday party from you grandma Sally whose dead now even bough she never smoked cigarettes got cancer from the third husband who was always smoking way too much like three packs a day of those Camels with no filters that look cool AF but you know are just a burning chemical binkie so might as well put a gun in your mouth am I right holy shit what the fuck did she put in my drink I'm like starting to passssss ouuuuutttttttt............................
True just like the bolt and bolt pro, but at the same time their frames can't compare to this one. You can easily fit 2 pretty decent batteries or 1 big battery with good amps. Not to mention there isn't suspension on any of these whatsoever and it's uncomfortable it what I call "riding a camel" this q1 seems to look like it has some suspension. Also upgrading those bikes are a bit limited compared to this one shown.
I have the Fiido M1 which is my first bike in 20 year and I’m really enjoying it despite having no clue about bikes nevermind e-bikes 😂 - I got mine off the Fiido website and shipping to the UK took about 5 days.
hope you got this electric motor bike MOTed, registered, fitted a number plate and have insurance or you will be hit with lot of driving offences. And don't forget suitable motorcycle helmet and clothing.

I thought I'd brought an e-scooter because of the website I got it from but your description of an e-bike you give suggests that I have an e-bike. Well I'm confused. I thought I'd have to weld on a set of peddles and a chain to achieve that.
I was riding a rental e scooter along marina in Singapore at 2 am and 2 dudes blew by me like I was going backwards Caught up to a group of about 50 on these some capable of well over 100km/h Falcon PEV in Singapore will custom modify one and ship world wide I bought a stock one with the intentions of modifying it, but never got around to it Way more stable than a dual motor scooter You can ride hands free for example

And the second Insurance becomes available I'll buy it, regardless of cost. Also, "I'm foolish enough to buy something that's illegal"....but it's fine for the govenment to charge VAT/profit on those illegal items? And the UK law on a number of things, not just transport, is both VERY outdated and biased (try having a fair divorce in the UK - that's a joy to behold!). This country on a number of things is slowly but very surely going down the sh*tter and it's us.....well, people like you, that are allowing it to happen.
Yeah it goes too fast and is even illegal under the moped classification so closest it comes to is a motorbike which this one doesn't go fast enough to go on the freeway for but it would only be allowed on car roads no bike lanes
I was looking at the Fiido Q1s 3 weeks ago they way they do them up makes it look sweet. I would love to get one but its the law in the UK that puts a downer on Escooters and Ebikes.
Well, as long as they’re not allowed on roads or pavements most people will be happy…. And safer…

Make a bike with forks or fenders that have the batteries in them that sit lower than the axles, and you instantly boost stability beyond any other electric bike.
Lmao, are you drunk?
@@ianmangham4570lol are you poorly educated? Study physics.
@@truetech4158 How you gonna put battery's below the axle genius? 😅 Are you aware the axles are just about the lowest point on the machine 🤡 only the bottom portion of the wheels is lower to the ground, LET'S HERE IT MR PHYSICS
Heard of GROUND CLEARANCE 😂,it's kinda important YES!
@@ianmangham4570 you behave like you really have to struggle with physics to make sense of it.
You willfully overlook the distance between the axles and the ground, why?
Sound like a great idea! I will definitely want a custom Q1 when they’re available
All I think of is Jim Carey and Jeff Daniels squeezed on riding to Aspen.
This eBike rules. This will be Heaven on earth for me. I can save money and make money on this little but mighty eBike.
I'm struggling to see how that Motor is rated for 5kw, maybe it's 60volts but that motor wouldn't handle 80amps constant
I agree. I think he meant 500W nominal. More than 2000W through through that tiny motor and the risk of frying it would be considerable IMHO. I could certainly see this take 750W, maybe even 1000W reliably. 5000W would be enough to take you over 100 km/h. Yet this thing seem to top out at around 60 km/h.
A scooter that looks like an E bike, more confusion for the cops, another loophole to travel at 65 kph with no restrictions, wow the E revolution is here to stay!
Ive made an electric trike with written off cellular tower batteries. 210ah 36v pack...range 350+km on a single charge...best part it was almost free....Always amazes me how high the prices are for ready made ebikes...
I wanna see this!
Not everyone knows how to mount/ fix kits. This is where businesses take advantage of.
Nice work MOJA!
See you in hospital after the first pothole lol. Although I guess if you just buzz around the olympic park there's no worry of that...
Is this available for shipping to Canada and how much would this cost

i just got one of these little babies in Manila, Philippines (at a shop called Pro Scooter).. i got the Fiido Q1s (which has way better suspension/Shock Absorbers). i actually came to pay off and pick up a stand up scooter (Dual Motor power muththa'fu#ka) and i saw the Fiido Q1s.. and went hmmmmmm.. asked questions, and gradually switched over.. So, some of the things that they allowed me to do in this shop (at an extra cost - of course), that helped that switchover decision.. where upgrades that make this "Scooter" more powerful... First i got a longer seat put on it (like yours in this video).. and asked to have an ignition switch installed (to turn it on with a key).. Then the most important upgrade was putting in a more powerful BATTERY.. it gives this little badboy way more torque, speed (around 40 to 45 mph.. with me on it - i'm about 200 lbs, 5ft 11).. and the battery last way longer.. Did my first test (after 2 rainy days in Manila).. and i'm very happy with it.. it Climbs hills really cool.. just found that out coming from an underground parking lot.. and it speeds down the street. At first i was being super careful, but i'm getting more use to how it rides now, and i can see myself being a super freak on it.. GET A HELMET Before you got nuts on it. I would like to add, 2 things i had problems with (out the box).. First, the way it accelerates when you hit the throttle (its herky jerky), and trying to adjust to that.. when i told the Shop owner.. he said "oh, use this app".. and transferred an app to my phone. That App made all the difference in the world.. you are able to calibrate "Fast Start" & "Slow Start" settings that make the throttle acceleration more smoother (i had a similar problem with my Wide Wheel Pro scooter, and had to order a whole different throttle to make that issue go away)... The other little issue is sometimes the bike.. oops "Scooter" tends to want to pop a wheely.. and i have to be careful not to sit to far back on the seat when i'm starting off.. other than that.. This thing is a beast (with the battery upgrade) .. The brakes are GREAT.. & i love that there are brakes for both tires.. I added an aftermarket headlight on the handle bars that has 800 Lumens, it came with a tail light, but i don't do much night riding, i'm not sure that's so safe, with how small this thing is.. it might be hard to be seen).. But this is going to be one of my new best friends.. Searching for a Lock for it (the one that came with it is a joke).. Any suggestions???
I bought a Jetson Bolt and honestly it was the best purchase I have ever made in my life TBH. I don't even drink and I ran into a liquor store for someone else bringing it actually in with me when I stepped up to the counter to pay it was slightly out my view and someone went right out the door with it. Mind you I happen to live in the most dangerous city in America highest murder rate and everything else to match. It takes a certain type of person to live here, just sayin. I haven't been able to afford to get another Jetson bolt since but I am so eager to one day get another one but I'm not too optimistic due to poverty. I'm saying this to say check out the Jetson Bolt or the Jetson Bolt Pro they're absolutely amazing and the absolute best buy for how cheap it is. 😘😘😘
What’s this guy talking about I bought a Fido qs1 last year 🙄
By the time you finish the modifications on them you’ll be into it for over £1000+
It'll be around the same price as a used motorcycle, and close a new pre-made ebike with less or near the amount of power compared to customizing it to your liking/needs.
How far do get in Distance as far as battery life?
No suspension, would be harsh at then speeds 🥴🥴🥴
They need to upgrade this because it really has a potential in it
Absolutely jaw dropping!
That’s awesome & I’d get one… but as soon as the 🐷 see you riding it’ll probably get confiscated right??
Shame the rules here suck :(
Good info. For me ebike without full suspension is non starter. Especially for heavy one. Vibrations will shatter it into pieces in long term use. I like this one but would not ride it fast. Looks dangerous for fast rides. I like small dimensions too.
I have two e-bikes one with no suspension and one with full.
The no suspension bike is scary and uncomfortable at higher speeds.
I'm loving the silent electric revolution incoming. Electric is pure freedom.
Loving it nothing out of the ordinary for me just a set of pedals and a bbshd bbs02 even tongsheng maybe a CYC of some type with an ASI Controller the traditional stuff keep it simple like myself great video thanks mate
Dangerous and irresponsible to say two people could travel on it when as far as i can see there are no passenger footpegs
Haaaaaaahaaaaa...roflmao
I would rather buy the Wolf King GT from Kaabo rather than any Fiido model any day.
Me to
Ones 2500 tho
I really like how that yellow headlight looks on it. 💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛💛
I will keep my dualtron ultra 2 at 65 mph and acceleration is out of this world!!!!
A 5000w motor should be going 80-100 KM/H not 65.
For real. It's probably 5000w peak power
Specs everywhere online say 500w not 5000w
@@shamusjackal exactly. Way to small a motor to even be an close to 1500W. That's a 500W geared hub motor. Certainly NOT a 5000W !
not really an "e-bike" by UK/EU definition of the word... just a scooter
Thanks for the video, the best I saw on the Fiido Q1 / Q1S!! I want one, I may buy it in a few months, but yes, I will mod it for sure, at least have a 2 or 3kW motor(s).
I'm mad in love with that little bike!! I'm 6'2' could I ever,,,?
Love it, but is is so obviously illegal, you wouldn't even need to be stopped by a cop with knowledge. We need the laws changing. They need to release a on the road license moped version.
Why even offer 250w with no pedal and a throttle it doesn't remotely comply with current laws.
Wonder how hard it would be to get it through msva test and how much insurance would be.
My thoughts too. This thing is practically a motorbike. No reason it should be treated any differently imo.
@@Tresla i think they should be treated differently, upto abut 1kw, USA has a sensiable implementation imo with there 3 classes. but my point is at the moment these arent legal and any cop could spot that from a 100m away, unlike a ebike with pedals that is just over the wattage.
No one else has seen? If you ride escooters, you already know what this is. Also, this isn't legal either. It's an escooter with a seat.
legaly it is a bike .......
in england it is fully legal
@@superted2552 You are wrong. But I'm sure you really know that. It doesn't meet EAPC rules. It's effectively a moped and would need to be registered, taxed, insured etc
@@Alan-xxxxxx No, a moped would, by definition, have pedals. This is a motor vehicle, which would need to be registered with the DVLA, taxed and insured, to be legal to use on a public road, or indeed any public space.
@@superted2552 Nope, it's a motor vehicle in the eyes of the law, just the same as a kid's motorbike, or a ride on lawnmower. Illegal to use on the road....
Moja sounds like an Aussie who's been in England just a few years. Probably because you can't have more than 250 watts here; 5,000 is awesome.
Looks real good. When you got to the stairs tho a sur ron would of gone up them.
Huge question; what's the hill climb ability like on the 250w model?
None
@@angelteamnolimit624@72 v it will pull me up with stock motor same amps as 36,36 won’t work I’m heavy tho
It is not an e-Bike as it has no bicycling mechanism, it should require a motorcycle driving license and damage insurance( E-Scooter allows you to kick for power :-)
I mean, you could use your legs to propel this ;)
@@Tresla Indeed, those are called e-Toddler-Balancing-Bikes
I got a q1s with the same specs. Motorcyclists chat me up at red lights all the time. People are always shocked by how fast it accelerates. I wear a motorcycle helmet with it.
I’d suggest putting some kind of pad on the frame where it would rest on your hip in the case you had to carry up stairs or whatever it may be
That’s the smallest 5000 watt motor I’ve ever seen.
Exactly my taughts, lol
Amazing review. I’m so tempted to buy an e bike.
This is not classed as an e-bike in the UK with the current rules in place, you cannot legally ride this on a road yet.
I mean I wanted a suron or a super 73 for the longest time but they are so expensive and modding them to their full potential would be really expensive as well and it's just hard for me to justify that at where I'm at in life at the moment.
HAVE YOU GUYS CONDUCTED A VIDEO ON ELECTRIC UNICYCLES?? IT IS DEFINITELY THE FUTURE. CHECK IT OUT.
The small size of it clearly indicates a lot of uncomfortable riders steering away from it including couriers because it’s no doubt too small to feel comfortable and safe as in noticeable to other road users while riding this wee no doubt really cool looking ebike but it’s simply too small to be accepted on roads without being pulled over and most likely fined by the police, ebikes which are of normal bike size are here to stay and be accepted on the roads either if road illegal or not as the police generally won’t back-an-eye if your riding at no faster than 20/25mph then it’s not a hazard nor a hazard if you’re easily noticeable to other road users as this is clearly a big consideration everyone who rides on the road thinks about due to the obviousness about not being seen then suddenly being hit because well like I said already if you’re on a bike which is too small then it’s more difficult to notice and makes the rider difficult to see especially in busy city’s which is where ebikes dominate
Punctuations are too valuable to use on TH-cam comments I agree so thanks for splurging and giving us the one comma because I haven't seen one for a long time being so small and hard to see not being used often it's like people don't bother to even separate any thoughts and just let the comment keep going like every thought that comes up out of their heads without putting in any pauses or breaks to make it any easier to read when you're on the toilet bowl so long that the seat leaves those really deep red marks on your bum and you've forgotten to replace the toilet paper just leaving the old tube on the tube with with one square like that Seinfeld episode as if that's going to do anything but there you are and so you turn your sock inside out even though it was the one you got for your nineteenth birthday party from you grandma Sally whose dead now even bough she never smoked cigarettes got cancer from the third husband who was always smoking way too much like three packs a day of those Camels with no filters that look cool AF but you know are just a burning chemical binkie so might as well put a gun in your mouth am I right holy shit what the fuck did she put in my drink I'm like starting to passssss ouuuuutttttttt............................
The DYU D3 VIP with same spec (36v 10ah, 250W, 14" wheels) is cheaper, around £589.
True just like the bolt and bolt pro, but at the same time their frames can't compare to this one. You can easily fit 2 pretty decent batteries or 1 big battery with good amps. Not to mention there isn't suspension on any of these whatsoever and it's uncomfortable it what I call "riding a camel" this q1 seems to look like it has some suspension. Also upgrading those bikes are a bit limited compared to this one shown.
Hey hey! from Singapore here! Own one before! mod the hell out of it and sold it after Gov call for a ban here :(
I have the Fiido M1 which is my first bike in 20 year and I’m really enjoying it despite having no clue about bikes nevermind e-bikes 😂 - I got mine off the Fiido website and shipping to the UK took about 5 days.
how. much bud
@@ThisOldPanda sure it was about £800
hope you got this electric motor bike MOTed, registered, fitted a number plate and have insurance or you will be hit with lot of driving offences.
And don't forget suitable motorcycle helmet and clothing.
Apart from the olympic park / private land - I don't think there is anywhere where you can legally ride this bike... So setting it up as commuting solution is a little bit deceptive. Although I love the idea of something like this eventually being useable.
"if I had £10k to spend on this bike..." Say what now?! You'd spend that much on this bike alone 🤯 If I were going to spend £10k, it'd be on an ICE 🐒 bike, an e-bike, an e-scooter and then I'd have loads of change leftover for upgrades on all 3... But that's just me 🤫

Sounds like fiido is testing out their market for their bikes in Singapore to see if they will be popular enough to sell in the UK and the US.
Its funny that the video of the guy riding the fiido at night is a friend of mine, his name is mike.
His channel is Tokyoboy2000
Definitely looks awesome, but I'm gonna be that guy and say there are several scooters that top 65kph lol Rion scooters are pretty nuts.

Kinda makes sense a bike is bigger ,can have big battery have, smoother ride,and bigger wheel for bigger and stronger motor
Legislators will have field day with this one.
Freaking sweet! all that is missing is a Raccoon tail.
I have had a fiido d1 for nearly 2years and it has heped me so much . cost me £360 delivered. does 17mph full throttle, which is more than enough for round town.
Also i hate to be "that guy" but the GOV really need to do something about making it LEGAL to use a higher power bike / scooter. enen if that does mean a cheap road tax and insurance.
i've mod fiido q1 with 3000w motor ,yuyanking controller (*with bluetooth for more detail information and setting) + 84 volt battery .able to troll dualtron also i never touch the top speed run ,my own record just 96km/h cause unstable ,top speed around 120km/h .
the frame actually quite stable and suitable for mod .
What about Weped cyberfold.?
Glad you had your cover on mate. 😲
I thought I'd brought an e-scooter because of the website I got it from but your description of an e-bike you give suggests that I have an e-bike. Well I'm confused. I thought I'd have to weld on a set of peddles and a chain to achieve that.
i have mine built from the ground up. Already upgraded 3200w. all DIY
I was riding a rental e scooter along marina in Singapore at 2 am and 2 dudes blew by me like I was going backwards
Caught up to a group of about 50 on these some capable of well over 100km/h
Falcon PEV in Singapore will custom modify one and ship world wide
I bought a stock one with the intentions of modifying it, but never got around to it
Way more stable than a dual motor scooter
You can ride hands free for example
BAC8000 + 72V battery (pouch cell => ebmx battery) + surron motor :)
It is widely available in EU
Very cool. Just wish there was a bigger frame version
I wonder if you could get this through an MVSA and have this as a proper legal moped
