- I rode the Fiido L3 for a Throttle Only Range Test in order to find the real-life range of this tiny bike with an enormous 23.2AH battery.
Full Review Video on the Fiido L3: • 2021 Fiido L3 Folding ...
By the end of this ride, you may become a senior citizen.
😂🤣
This guy has got to be the most dedicated reviewer I've ever seen. Respect, sir.
Judging by my own experience with the Fiido D4S, I reckon that you'd get at least 100 miles using pedal assist rather than throttle only. Great little bikes, great video (as always).
I have my L3 on the way. Holding both the menu+select buttons until the screen flashes, then pressing the left then right button unlocks the speed to around 23-24mph. I can't wait to get my bike!
It works?
Pretty damn fast on such a small bike awesome!
Ho, how is your bike? Unlocked speed?
All of that range and it's one of the few step over bikes that can also serve as a mid step. It was fun and informative riding along with you, Citizen.
Best review on the L3 , you actually took the time to test the range not just quote the manufacturer blurb , 45 miles is my best so far on my L3 pulling a loaded Burley travoy trailer on less than ideal paths with some good hills , the bike would have carried on but even with that amazing seat my back side said enough lol , the L3 rocks and just like my previous bike the fiido D1 draws people to it to ask about it.
After two years of active use of this electric bicycle, I can share my opinion: the battery range exceeded my expectations; at a weight of 95 kg, it comfortably carried me for about a hundred kilometers in normal, windless weather. The maximum speed (when unlocked) reaches up to 39 km/h on a fresh charge. The only downside is the very sensitive handling, especially when trying to steer with one hand
Just wow. Absolutely insane range.
Thanks for a taking a week for the team. Good video.
Great review, most claims are nonsense as any bike has infinite range so throttle only tells the real story.
Wow! It did really well. I figured it would only do 60 miles. (ie. 4 times the Jetson bolt pro since it has 4 times the battery)
You say only 60 miles like that's a small thing. Let me tell you when I heard there was an ebike that could go 23mph and over 50 miles range. I couldnt buy it fast enough. The L3 is THE KING. Nothing touches it sub $1000.
@@fender1000100 you can buy a d4s and add a battery in parallel. I get 90kms (55mi) throttle only average 23kph .. When it was new last yr.
Really Impressive range on that Bike, I still prefer my Himi Cruiser, but it would be nice to run a few more miles.
good job again Citizen, keep'em coming
Thanks for the real-life review, it's very helpful. This e-bike is being sold for 600$ in my country (Vietnam)
I posted a speed unlock for these new gens of L3, it gets 21/mph
I have an l2 and the thing is a beast. At first I thought it was a clown mobile but I quickly got used to it. My favorite bike at this point for running around town and even from one town to another town and back. With a large plywood load deck replacing the rear deck seat on mine it can carry a LOT OF CARGO too and tow a trailer when needed ( I hitch the trailer to the back of the plywood load deck).
I do about 500 miles a month on this in the summer, about 200 a month in the winter
Nice range. Just got a kaabo wolf warrior 11+. It's supposed to do between 30 to 70 miles of range, depending on how you ride it.
amazing. was bout to go with a lectric, but the range and finish on this bike is a better option. i just hope the battery cells are equivalent quality.
Brilliant brilliant channel. Keep up the great work. I would be happy with a bike that can do 30 miles on a charge with some hills. So this bike is in my future. You have another sub sir.
Thanks Project DX!
great review sir !!
I have the Fiido D3 Pro - and I love it. it's compact and light weight. and my first bike is rad wagon, then rad city, then Electric and now Fiido D3 Pro
Would be a great little bike to carry around the country with an RV or on a boat if you sailed to the Bahamas
Love everything you do citizen as always that bike looks like it's fun as hell I'd be the perfect camping trail bike I just put the 1X pro 5000 w mid-drive on my XF 900 and added a stealth bomber battery I got videos coming out on my channel but holy cow bro you got to see this thing when I'm done with it
Thanks! I must add, the 120 miles range is with assist. They claim 80 miles on throttle, with 150 pounds man, even ground, no stops. It was displayed.
I had an earlier version I sadly damaged. With my 200 pounds performed better as bigger bikes do The tires were almost new after thousands of miles and I always averaged 12 mph regardless of the landscape. As for aging person, it is perfect.
Over 70 miles at 15 mph!!! That's 4-5 hours of riding!!!
Did you do this in just one go?? That's amazing 👍👍
Rode every day during my lunch hour for a week for this test.
NONE of those mileage claims are throttle only, I totally believe it would go over 120 miles if you were pedaling. Even so, 70+ miles throttle only is incredible.
It SUPPOSEDLY goes 120 KILOMETERS, not miles. But we all know that the mileage is ALWAYS a lie. It's just a selling point. Still, this bike gets very high mileage, so that's very good.
How come you didn’t get the new version with the better bike computer
Thats amazing throttle only. I think you could do 100 if you did pedal assist with the correct conditions. Another great vid.

thx bro. range very important
Wow that's crazy range. I'm about to get a 2nd battery for the Himiway Escape so that would give me 28am hours. But I don't think it would get past 70miles.
Really informative review! Thank you! How squeaky are the breaks?
You are a beast!!!
Awesome 😎
I’ve got the L2 Fiido with the 20-21 ah battery. It’s good to see somebody share all my similar thoughts including the range test on your back and behind 😂
Curious as to what your weight and range was ? Have you had anyone of a different weight test the range ? I ask because I'm curious how much closer to that 120 claimed range I would get weighing around a buck in pennies. Cheers
@@johnbeaudette583 I’m 210 lbs. I’ve managed 50 miles on my Fiido L2. I did help it on the hills though. I biked our spring water corridor trail here in Portland Oregon from Milwaukie (se pdx) all the way to the town of Boring and back.
Great bike, but slow slow slow.
@@raylivengood8040 The speed wouldn't bother me. Being sick for a long time and being a little guy, I'm looking for something not real heavy. Something I can get up the stairs without dieing. Lol. Cheers
@@johnbeaudette583 I’d recommend that you take a look at the “jetson bolt pro” or it’s cousin from “ANCHEER”. Jetson bolt from Costco online, or the Ancheer website. Go to the menu bar and go to folding bikes. There you will see the 48v version of the 36v jetson bolt pro that climbs hills better and can attain a higher speed. Speed for safety, not for racing around necessarily.
@@raylivengood8040 thanks for the info ray. I'll go check them out. Cheers
Anyway to get 20 mph unlocked in this bike?
I get 70 miles, but that's on a modified RadMini with dual batteries. I don't think you will find a stock single battery ebike that will come close to this Fiido for range. Thanks for the great video, and we hope your backside gets a chance to recover!
Yeah no kidding, I have dual batteries on most my ebikes and I am lucky to get 60 miles with lots of pedal power. I'm 200 pounds, usually stay around 20-25 mph so I'm not sure if going 15mph would increase range that much more?
@@kjohns1413
It would. When you go from 15.5 miles per hour to 22 plus. You are burning about 33% more energy. At 15.5 mph the L3 gives me just under 76 miles. Unlocked for a top speed of 23mph. It gives me just under 51 miles. I weigh 171lbs. So if you are getting 60 miles odd weighing 200. You would get at least 80 if you were averaging 15 to 16 mph.
It’s advertised as 120km, so the miles is correct
please do an update
Throttle only for over 50 miles is INSANE,
Hi. Is it water proof? Can i use it during rainy season and winter?
Thank you!
I really enjoy the video
Did you ever unlock the speed limit or turn on the cruise control ? I’m very satisfied with this bike compared to the L2. Albeit the L2 looks better !
I would like to see real world range tests for the Himiway's too!
I already did the himiways, check my himiway playlist
@@CitizenCycle925 HAHA! Turns out I had already watched it and liked it. I now remember that it was the video that convinced me to buy the Himiway Step Through. Thanks!
😆@@RHall1
Interesting video. Why do you think they opted to go with lots of range but little power? Easily looks like a bigger voltage motor would work. It does have little tires, so you do have to be careful. But such a huge battery! Whew!
They didnt its capable of 24mph when unlocked. The chinese bike companies are obligated to abide by the European ebike rules. Which have a speed limit of 15.5 mph. Most ebikes can be unlocked to produce their true speed. Which is usually 35 to 40kph. The L3 will do 37 to 39kph when unlocked. Or 23 to 24mph. So American purchasers. Simply have to learn to unlock the bike. As I think your speed limit for an ebike is 26mph.
And that's more than enough speed for a bike with 14 inch wheels believe me. The look on the guys face on a racing bike when I caught him the other day was priceless.
This little monster is POWERFUL. It shocks alot of people.
Considering that's full throttle only 120miles range seems feasible if peddling which is nutz
Any ebike that can even give you 50 miles off a single charge is amazing. The L3 is AMAZING.
Is it a suspension seat post? Motor seems loud. Is it Direct Drive or Geared Hub Motor?
That range is INCREDIBILE. What are your thoughts on the L3 vs the Lectric XP 2
The L3 destroys every sub $1000 bike for range. Can be unlocked too. To go 24 miles per hour. It's a wolf in sheeps clothing. I got mine two weeks ago. And people are shocked at the power and range in this little bike. It's a legend. And should be the best selling ebike of ALLTIME. For the money nothing touches it.
It's likely 120 km.. 74 miles = 119.091 km
Thanks for the review! Can you tell us if the battery is removable?
Yes removable
Is it usable without pedal assist? if you just pedal it?
should have unloacked the speed?
Wait it folds too?😮
Dose the fiido l3 record the kmp. I couldn't see it on my fiido L3
Amazing
Was curious as to how comfortable it was doing all that riding? How was it on average roads and how rough was it on bumpy trails, well light trails of course.
I believe u can change the front fork to take a 20 inches tyre
@@Glass_Nkoaa
What good would that be. When you have a 14" on the back?
@@Glass_Nkoaa Is that true? Because I would seriously consider.
@@fender1000100 folding may not look good but it will certainly make it safer when u are speeding. U also wouldn't have to worry too much about portholes
Hi dos this battery fir on t1 fiido tanks
Try doing it again as pedal assist only maybe it can reach 100miles
Hello wanted to ask if you know how to revert the speed unlock back to normal? I recently accidentally speed unlocked it and don’t know how to go back! Sometimes the speed unlock is dangerous, please if you know how to revert it let me know!
Unfortunately I don't know
@nu nguyen
It's just the same as how you unlock it. Press the 2 buttons until the 00 display flashes. Then press them one at a time until it stops flashing. And you have it back to 15mph.
I advise anyone unlocking the L3 to first master the bike. And wear a helmet. 24mph on this bike is FAST.
And you must treat it like a little motorbike. Make sure you have full confidence and control over the bike. The sweet spot for this bike is a round 20mph. That's the best speed.
Good lord. I don’t even get near that range with two batteries on my DIY 500w bikes with peddling.
I think he means 70km not miles
@@bazle64
No he means 70 miles. I have gotten 76 miles from my L3 at a weight of 171lbs. The bikes AWESOME for range. It's like a mini Harley Davidson. The ultimate long range cruiser. My friend has the same bike. And works as an uber eats delivery driver. He never has to worry about his battery dying. Most of the other drivers. Have to have a spare battery with them. And they STILL cant get 70 miles on their big clumsy bikes.
The L3 is the KING OF RANGE.
@@fender1000100 that's not possible
@@bazle64
What you are calling both citizen and me a liar then? It is possible and REALITY. You have to weigh less than 180lbs though. That's the thing.
That giant battery is not there for decoration. You are basically riding a moving generator.
I get 76 miles locked (15 MILES AN HOUR) And 51 miles unlocked (23 MILES AN HOUR) I know it's a hard pill to swallow for all you guys and girls who have spent a grand plus on some big clumsy bike. That dies after less than 25 miles. Or a small bike with a poor 7.5 to 10.4 AH battery.
But that's the REALITY. The L3 is the KING OF RANGE. Nothing touches it sub $1000. If you want long range sub $1000. It's the ONE. The Mcdaddy.
The L3 IS AWESOME.
@@fender1000100 kilometres not miles
This bike would work great for RAGBRAI, you can ride it all day and then charge it as you sleep overnight. How was your butt at the end?
I bought this bike after this video. its amazing... however... if you take the speed cap off and run at 29kph it runs out a LOT fater. I still love this bike though.
How many miles do you get with the speed cap off?
How much faster? Like 35 miles? Or are we talking 15?
@@treeman9706 35 miles unlocked throttle
My tests so far are unlocked throttle only 35miles, unlocked pedal only almost 60 miles in mode 3
holy CRAP dude
Is that the crab tree lake greenway?
Yep🙂
Hi mate my bike don’t turn on at all any idea why
Check battery connection, key turned on?
@@CitizenCycle925 battery connection?
And yep key turned on while riding just completely cut off and don’t turn on
@muhammad6095 Top of the battery near the handle, the connection port where the battery connects to the bike, check That spot, also check the cable running to the display. Sometimes the display comes unplugged.
Any idea you can share a diagram what you mean I can see the plugs are connected
Ride over a leaf or limb it will flip u over the handlebars an mess u up an if u ain't hitting code e1 lose in riding while riding fiido l3
*_CAN YOU DO WHEELYS WITH THAT THING?_*
Put some weight on the rear deck and use throttle from a dead stop and it will pop right up and over
Does it have cruise control?
Yes
74 miles is insane at full throttle!
I think he means 70km not miles
@@bazle64
Nope he meant miles. I weigh 172lbs and got 75 miles on a single charge doing a similar test. I got just over 50 miles when I unlocked it. Averaging 21mph. With a top speed of 24mph.
Remember he did the test on his cell phones GPS tracker. The L3 has no odometer. Or trip calculator. You have to link a cell phone if you want to do a range test.
@@fender1000100 must be downhill I got 35
You should unlocked it goes faster
❤❤
If I could adapt a five lb. Battery to this bike I would perferr this over a same price $999 than those fat tire bikes i need it to ride 2 miles to a store
Did you say how much you weigh ? How much do you weigh ?
hold the "i" button for a few seconds and it will take you into the settings to adjust speed limit
@@CitizenCycle925 So for this test you throttle in mode 3 correct?
@@anio6865 correct
good
🤜
Let's keep the likes at 666 😂
Are there any other users who can confirm the range? Peer-review it ;)
Yep I get 76 miles on my L3 on the routes I ride. I weigh 171lbs. Unlocked I get approx 51 miles. That's the trade if you want to go from 15 miles an hour to 23 miles an hour.
My bike can go 50km on half the baterry so yes
I wonder what range you can get with a 100 lb rider? Seems like a waste of battery to put it in such a puny bike.
The bikes not puny I can assure you. It's a little monster. When unlocked it will give you 24mph for over 50 miles on a single charge. I weigh 172lbs at 5 8" tall.
Nothing touches this bike in its price bracket. Absolutely nothing. I had an ebike before this that was only $150 cheaper. And it could barely give me 18 miles pure throttle and 18mph.
The L3 is incredible. Used to take me about one hour and 15 minutes to get to work. 11 miles. Now it takes me 35 to 40 minutes. A 22 mile round trip. I used to have to peddle at least 4 miles myself to make the trip.
With the L3 I can do it two days in a row. And still have some juice left. With no peddling. If I want some exercise. I simply turn off the power and do 3 or 4 miles.
But it's now a CHOICE not a necessity. Love this bike.
That seat is still not good enough because it's nor wide enough . A seat has to be as wide as 6 inches minumn to span my 2 hip bones that attached to my pelvis . That seat tongue is useless as far as I can tell . A wood board 4 inches by 8 inches would be more comfortable that a bicycle seat .
An interesting test would be to take a more powerful bike, but limit yourself to 15 mph (throttle only) like the L3 and see how far you could go. I know that is going to suck, but would be interesting.
That sounds like a great idea!
Well I've tested the L3 at 20 to 24mph when I unlocked it. And got just over 50 miles from it. It just has awesome power.
@@fender1000100 how you unlock. Some people told me that it's not working for all L3 ?🤔
Lol I think you should have done it just peddling
Theres no need. That's the beauty of the L3. It's basically a moped scooter with pedals. And when unlocked will go 23 to 24 mph. It's an amazing little bike for the money. I had another ebike before I got the L3. And it was only 150 dollars less expensive. And it couldnt even give me 18 miles on pure throttle. And had a top speed of 18 miles an hour. That's how you have to look at it.
What Fiido have delivered here for less than £800 euro is incredible.
@@fender1000100 yes I have brought one to go along side my fiido M1 I love the fiido ebikes . good value for money and well built .don't have to worry about being 250 w motors because that's all we are legally allowed in the UK lol I know the l3 is 350 w .
@@keithdainton6043
Nobody cares as long as you arent tearing up the road at 30 plus miles an hour. It's a stupid law. Even road bike riders with no motor can cruise at 20 plus miles an hour. They just dont like the fact that you can get long range and decent speed without having to pay road tax, fuel expense and insurance. Its ALWAYS about MONEY.
nicccccce
Insane slow lol 😂
I weigh around 150 pounds so 203lb (53 + 150) vs. 228lb (53 + 175) so this will almost definitely last 80 miles with me on it.
Probably 120 miles if I contribute pedal power on level stretches and slopes.
Depends where you are riding. On a perfect flat road. You will get 80 miles easy at your weight. I weigh 172lbs and have got 76 miles on a single charge. When I unlocked it for a top speed of 23mph. I got just over 50 miles. For range this little monster is on it's own its AWESOME. I crossed london and back yesterday on my l3. A 48 mile round trip and barely peddled and still had juice in the tank. It's a wolve in sheeps clothing. Simply an amazing bike.
