The new ADO AIR keeps impressing and getting even better after my initial review. I have just received and installed the throttle to be able to unlock the higher end top speed of the international version and it was a pleasant surprise. Without any hassle the installation takes just a matter a minutes, while the activation only a few taps in the ADO app. Bing accustomed to older ADO models it was unexpected to see how the new hybrid mode works on the AIR model.
The latest ADO Air 20 is a ultra light electric bike that only has ~ 16kg (basic EU model) and it comes with a maintenance free carbon belt transmission, equipped with a smart torque sensor, full hydraulic disc brakes with 160mm disks, smart APP control with navigation and a fully waterproof color IPS LCD screen.
The Air 20 is available on pre-sale promotional price directly form the official ADO shop where it can be ordered in EU or International version and soon there is also going to be a suspension option

The price is too high. It is nearly £300 more expensive than the OXFO OX1 on Indiegogo and that one is lighter and folds better than this.
@@dtz1000 That bike also has 16" tires. That alone makes it less appealing
Felicitari pentru prezentari!
Ajuta foarte mult pentru alegerea unei biciclete bune!
What a great little bike
Indeed.
Another excellent review on this bike.
OXFO OX1 looks to be better than this and is currently £200 cheaper. It weighs less.
Glad you enjoyed it
The OXFO OX1 has a much smaller battery that is why costs less and weights less. Also it doesn't have carbon drive belt transmission, no smart GPS APP and there are more missing. For what it offers the AIR is a very good choice.
😂
your brilliant thank you, this is exactly what i wanted check this bike out for , thank you for your video im waiting for the ADO air 20 + you educated me on the throttle and which bike i will need ,
I want this bike to ride in feilds with my dogs ...
Glad I could help!
Wow, de cand asteptam, foarte tare
Thank you, your video it really helped me with my choice.
Thank you for watching and I'm happy to hear that my video was able to help you with your decision!
Crazy u went in the grass and forest with it
Well I wanted to proper test it, it did well :)
Great demo and review! Hope you had a helmet on! Can it not go up that first off road hill with you peddling with assist and the throttle rather than off the bike though??? And what's the range for that sort of riding i.e. off road and on road with hills? In the UK mud-guards / fenders would be a must, and I'd need the rack... how much would they slow it down and reduce range? Also would the Air 20S i.e. front suspension version be worth it... or not? Many thanks.
That ramp has an incline that is over 60°, it's very hard even with your feet to get up :)
Great video, I have just purchased my ADO Air thanks to your review. I have added the throttle which works fine, but I am wondering did you get the horn to work?
That only works when you're getting horny.
No, the horn doesn't work on this, that is why you get a bell.
I just got the suspension model (intl.) Is it worth getting the throttle? and do you find any resistance/drag once the pedal assist mode cuts off at 25km? I'm expecting that the bike should feel more free at those speeds when pedalling - nice video!
Assistance stops at 25km/h, the throttle takes you to 35km/h. The throttle on the international version also gives more power that the assisted mode.
Hiya, your videos have been a wealth of valuable info. Having purchased x2 of these bikes & now having installed the throttle. As for Hybrid mode, do you know what the other power modes do/mean & how they operate the bike? Also I had to change the max speed limit do get above 15/16 mph, it was 25, which I assume was kph, so I’ve changed this to 35, does that sound right? Many thanks
Power (gear) modes limit power assistance and speed. As for speed indeed 35km/h it's ok to go over the limit.
@@TechTronic9000 many thanks
I'm looking into getting my first e-bike, and after a lot of research i think my best options are either ADO Air, or Fiido D21, and i'm having a hard time picking between them, maybe you could suggest something if you tried them both? Also a few stores have the EU 250w version priced at 1200eur, which is cheaper than on ADO website, so i'm a bit confused why that could be the case, especially when the bike is very new. And there is another store that has a 350w version for 1350eur and i'm wondering if it's really worth getting the 350w instead of 250w? Also the version with front suspension is coming out, but that one doesn't look worth extra $150++ for more weight and only front suspension, what do you think?
I would personally choose the AIR 20 International version. It has great torque, drive belt and best of of all it has great support. I also highly recommend to buy it from the official store so you avid 3rd party warranty issues.
@@TechTronic9000 from what i've read on ADO website, it's only 1 year warranty? Local shops give 2, but you're probably right, official might be better. What about the version with suspension? Do you think it's really that big of an upgrade for a non-mountain bike?
Can you ride up big curbs? I'm asking cause in my city they've been renovating pavements, sidewalks and bike lanes and as part of the fixes they've replaced throughout majority of the city the curbs from just teens-high to nearly 30 centimetres high ones. Bearing in mind this thing comes with a 20" wheel, that's like 12" radius from ground to wheel hub, basically the same height as of those new curbs we now have, and that means parts of support, fron cog or pedals are way lower... That makes me worry it might become impossible to simply ride up or down such curbs on this bike, it might be even risky as there's no midmounted guard or any protective gear to keep the front cog safe from any impacts on inclines with one wheel on the pavement already and the other on the road, with the high curb in between. But maybe I'm mistaken and this bike's short geometry lends well to curb-climbing/curb-hopping whilst city dwelling?
I would definitely avoid jumping 30cm kerbs with any kind of ebikes, especially folding ones!
I’ve got a European version 250w and my brake cable area has that throttle connection. I thought I purchased the standard version but the seller sent the other so now I can’t get the throttle
Is the engine really different on the EU and international version ? Or is the 250w just a 350w with a limit installed by software ?
They are really different, the 350W model is bigger and heavier with ~1kg.
Thanks for the video on installing throttle and enabling hybrid drive. I've followed your steps on my ADO A20F Beast, but can't seem to get the controller to save the new settings. So after I've changed from 3 speed to 5 speed, and then hybrid drive instead of torque sensing in engineering settings, when I then move the controller back to normal display, the new settings are lost. Have you a fix or is there a save button I haven't seen. Thanks, Paul.
1) Turn off the bike
2) Turn the throttle lever to the end and pinch the brake at the same time
3) Turn on the bike (keeping throttle and brake in position)
4) After 10 seconds, release the brake and the throttle lever
I just tried it and it works!!!
@sdfghnmkl Thanks Nicola.
If you mean turn the bike on and off via the controller on the handlebar, then I've done this and it doesn't work on an A20F Beast. I think you're on an A20F Air? Possible different controller, software, etc
did you find out how to save this on the beast?@@paulbassett2715
@@paulbassett2715 @Beast update to the latest software firmware update in app, bluetooth update after settings done. enjoy
Does the throttle come with the international version? Also does the 35kph only work once the throttle has been connected or can you achieve 35kph in only pedal assist? Thank you
The throttle will arrive separately and you will install it. It is only supplied to the international version.
@@TechTronic9000 thank you, do you know whether 35kph can be obtained in pedal assist mode, if you don’t actually use the throttle or is it only obtainable with the throttle only or pedals & throttle?
I have a question, I ordered the international version 350w, and I received a CE model and on the wheel I read 250w. I thought it read 350w on the wheel. However, I do have the cable to install the accelerator. I contacted support who said that I have the international version and the throttle will arrive later from China. What do you think ? Do you have 350w written on your wheel? Thank you so much
Yes you have the real 350W version, labeled with 250W to avoid you troubles. Also the real 250W does not permit installing throttle.
You need to enable zero speed start as well
So without the throttle installed you're unable to access the full torque or 350w? I don't want a throttle but want more power
Plugged it in my MB RGB header and I'm using it's software. This aio is a standard RGB model not ARGB.
Hi I think you replied to wrong comment. Mine was about the ADO air
Вітаю.
Підкажіть будь ласка.
Маю таку помилку, після покупки цього крутого велосипеда в інженерних налаштуваннях виставив обмеження швидкості 35 км. Ці настройки працювали 200 км. Зараз велосипед їде тільки 25 замість 35. Шо можна зробити чи на який датчик треба звернути увагу, бо сброс до заводського налаштування не допомагає.
Can you give a link to buy the throttle
Thanks great info
Send an email to ADO support and they will help you.
How does it perform on steeper hills with the throttle installed?
The throttle will give you more power than the bike has from the maximum assisted mode. It will climb some hills and ramps but depends on the incline. The new PRO model goes uphill a lot more easy as it has a 2 speed automatic hub. You will see that in 1-2 days on my channel and I will also compare it with the regular AIR model.
Hi thanks for this! so one question, because it's not super clear from their website...out of the box, does this international 350w version still come with a speed cap of 25kph in Europe? Does it only unlock to 32kph when you install the throttle, or does it come with the throttle installed?
I am asking because here in Malta it's only legal to have it set to 25kph, so I'm not sure if out of the box the international version willl already be illegal....
If you order the international version you will get a box with EU on it, the bike will also be locked to 25km/h. It will come with the bigger more powerful motor, but they will still write 250W on it. If you install the throttle you can unlock it to full 350W+ power and you can do up to 35km/h.
@@TechTronic9000 thanks a lot for the reply! This is exactly what I needed to know. My only other concern is the battery...if ADO had to stop manufacturing for any reason, it doesn't seem there are many of those types of batteries around.
is this allowe bring to the air plane? thanks bro!
The bike maybe yes, the battery probably no. You could take the seat post battery out and take it as a checked hand luggage, but it has 36V/9.6 Ah which is 345.6Wh so probably it's not allowed.
Can you pedal this past 25km/h? I know the level 3 assist takes you upto 25 but can you pedal past that and will the assist cut out?
I can pedal up to ~ 30km/h after which it gets too fast to be able to keep the cadence. Mine is the international models with bigger motor, unlocked and with throttle.
@@TechTronic9000 are you using android or appleStore when using the app? I heard from someone that the bike didn't pair for them when they tried to connect with android.
I cant find this answer on the web page, or other videos...does the throttle come WITH the international version, or did you have to order that separately? THANKS!!
It comes included but not installed. They are also shipped separately so your bike will arrive faster from an EU warehouse and the throttle will arrive later directly from China.
@@TechTronic9000 thanks!!!!
I ordered the international version but the motor is marked up as 250w and I do t have throttle also I ordered direct from ado. Does your international version have 350w marked on the motor?
It is “mislabeled” so it is Euro compliant :) it will be 350 😀
@@applezz13 thank you 😊
some say that the 250W motor is better than the international 350W motor?
The 350W has more torque and permits faster top speed. The 250W is smaller but it's lighter, might have also different internal gearing, so some differences could be present in how the work, but I would not say that one is better or worse, they are just different.
I just received this bike international version throtte installed.
I followed your steps but throttle still won't work.
The bike connected with BT icon light up. Got into engineering mode and selected hybride drive.
The throttle still won't work.
Any ideas ?
Tom
Have you updated the firmware for the BT? Mine had similar issues and app was not working properly. After the update it was all smooth.
@@TechTronic9000 Thanks for your reply.
I got it to work after closing the app down completely and restarting it.
Mine had the throttle installed and hybride selected.
Mine also is the ado lite model which is the air medel without torque sensor and hydraulic brakes.
What overall range do you get, now that you’ve installed the throttle?
Anyone know how to get the horn to work on the throttle?
Hi, is compatible with A16? link please?
No, the A16 is different.
Hi, could you please put the bike on the balance and let us know its real weight?
Yes, mine has 18.2kg on my scale, but it's the international version which comes with a bigger and heavier motor. It also has the additional mudguards installed. The basic EU model is lighter as it has a smaller and easier motor.
OXFO OX1 is 16.5kg and currently £200 cheaper on Indiegogo. Overall, it looks like the better bike.
I own ado a20xe, i’m quite happy with that, the only drawback is the weight 24-25kg, I use it to commute by train when the railwaystation elevator is out of order it is very tiring to take it on the stairs. Since you reviewed both a20xe and air, do you suggest me to change?
@TechTronic9000 ^
It is not for Eu 250 w?
There are 2 versions, one 100% fully EU compatible one with 250W motor and no throttle and there is also the international one, which comes limited to 250W but can unlock for 350W+ power and can install throttle.
Is it the same procedur on Ado a20f+ international Version ?
No, for that model you can check my other videos.
@@TechTronic9000 Thanks for the feedback. Do you have a video for the Ado A20F+ (international version) that explains the installation of the gas lever or how to activate it at 35 km/h = Can this also be done without installing the gas lever?
I can increase the speed as in the video: ADO A20 A16 A20F eBike Unlock Speed Limit S866 explains, but it doesn't seem to be possible to set it effectively. The current Ado A20F+ has a bell instead of a horn and the gas lever is supplied separately for self-assembly.
Unfortunately I couldn't find any video about this on the channel. Thank you
please give me an answer
@@TechTronic9000 Hallo ? Please give me an Answer again thanks
@@TechTronic9000 Hallo ?!
Which version you have? The 250W or 350W? Because I have the 250W and I want to switch via App(?) to the 350W with deleting the 25km/h speed limit... Have you any ideas to do so? In Eng Mode my changes will not be monitored...
He has the 350w version. The 250w can't go above 25km/h and can't have a speed throttle installed from what i understood. You can't change from 250w to 350w
It's the 350W version, unlocked with the throttle.
@@TechTronic9000 I also belive it. But meanwhile ADO wrote me and mentioned there are two different motors… I also on you side and belive there is only one motor… Are you sure it is only one motor?
Is this compatible with ADO Air 28?
If it's an ADO AIR 28 "International version" then it could work ;)
Why I have a feeling you were riding at 60+ km/h😅
35km/h and GoPro filming in SuperView / HyperView which distorts the image and makes it look faster.
These thumb throttles are so disappointing to me, I was looking at video reviews of the Ado A20 and Ado A20+ and they had proper pre-installed throttles, now they sell them with the same ones as on this video.
That's a no from me, I wanted the bike but not with that.
Just buy the "International version".
Regarding the throttle on an ebike in the U.K. you can have a throttle on the bike, as it’s there for private use, and as far as the police are concerned, it’s only if “ they catch you using the throttle” and in all honesty, the police rarely bother, unless someone is doing ridiculous speeds and cycling in a manner that could harm pedestrians and other road users.
The majority of delivery riders for Uber and deliveroo, have bikes with throttles, and I have never heard of any of them having issues with the police.
In the uk this is illegal in the uk if u get caught you will be screwed. Points and fines. And your warranty will be void
Then just get the stock legal 250W and don't mod it.
They are not that bothered, my friends a police man, they never take action against throttle bikes, unless they are doing ridiculous speeds, even then, it’s just a warning, they want to promote cycling, and ignore so called illegal bikes.
Mate. Its illegal in EU you need insurance and papers on it. Its not legal. Useless.
It's a freaking bicycle dude
Seriously? Who will be competent enough to check?
Ahaha go at nome little boy
Is it permissible to use the 350W version in Germany if you insure the bike, put a number plate on it and have a sufficient driver's license?
@SSD-rm7fk you can't get insurance for an electric bike, that has not been type approved and hence illegal in the EU.
