This is how pretty much all reviews should be done. No fluffing around. No filler material. Just useful information and straight to the point. Well done.
wow i never really looked at this bike this way. the color threw me off a bit but this in depth look makes me want this. this is an incredibly nicely built machine. i wish it came in black though
Hi Chris. You can't unlock the speed on the D11 like you can on the D4S. Also the engine is less powerful and smaller than the D4S's even though it's also 250W. Not all Watts are alike ;)
hello brother ! I have an doubt, I'm a bit confused which one to buy. Can you help me with it brother? 1. FIIDO D11 2. FIIDO M1 PRO 3. FIIDO M21 4. FIIDO D4S
Sorry to ask, but since you don't seem like a short individual, can I ask your height and weight? From the video, you looked very confortable... (or confortable enough :))... Great review.
I had one of these for 500 km's. Afterwards, the electronics went defective. Support from Fiido not available. Had a look at the cables --> they are by far too thin, no wonder the bike failed. I would not buy a bike from Fiido again.
One of the main reasons I bought my D2S is that the battery location is not immediately obvious and you would need a Philips screwdriver to remove it. That battery is far too easy for vandals to steal off that bike and having had various accessories stolen from my bike over the years I am sure the allure of stealing that battery would be too strong for some of the scum living in my town to resist.
Thanks for the good review (as always on your channel). I have a question about the weight - you mention only 13 kg, but from what I`ve heard (as I had interested in purchasing this e-bike for my girl) it is 13kg WITHOUT the battery. Plus the battery (4kg) the total weight is 17kg - which statement is true? thanks
Hi, I do show it in the first 30 seconds of the video 00:28 and later on. All the info is in the video or you can see it (Pretty self-explanatory from the footage)
Be warned that any electric bike in EU with twist and go accelerator , or thumb accelerator that enables motion without pedalling is not classified as a Pedelec but moped . A moped requires registration, motorbike insurance , motorcycle helmet, cannot go on bikeways or footpaths. The police are now fining heavily across Europe ebikes that are not Pedelecs.
I think if Fiido can give the US customers a way to unlock the speed to 18 or 20 mph like other companies, D11 should be a best seller even at the high price. I like it because the weight, style, smooth and quiet riding but I am disappointed I can’t even give it a boost to climb the overpass like other eBike that I own.
As a Dutchman I must agree, this one looks like a very nicely designed foldable e-bike, especially that weight of 13kg. Seems perfect for traveling to work, in combination with using public (train) transport, when a normal non-e-bike foldable does not suffice when the travel distance from dest. train station > work requires a second bus or metro trip. An e-bikes like this sounds ideal and more flexible time wise. And indeed very nice scenic town and area of the Costa Blanca, with those cliffs, for an e-bike review like this :)
Up to 6 foot 2 I think this bike will accommodate. The only drawback of this bike is the HANDLEBARS. They arent adjustable. They are set at about 110 cm. Approx 43 inches. So if you are very tall it will mean you have to raise the saddle and hunch over the handle bars 5 6" to 6 2" this bike is ideal.
looking to order from the Fiido website UK version. Can i use full electric to go from complete stand still? or do I need to pedal and build up some speed beforehand?
Great review Chris! This bike looks great! Really wish I could do more biking here in Hong Kong, but a bit harder to own a bike here 🤣 by the way props for all of that video shooting while riding, I would have probably crashed if I had attempted!
Thanks. Yes it's a great city road style ebike. I can't wait to get my M1 Pro. Fat wheels and 500W. Some of those shots were a bit tricky, gopro helps. And a few shots were done on my Fold 2.
Hi Chris - Great video! After months of riding - how does the D11 and M1 Pro hold up? I'm gonna use mine for urban deliveries (30+ km a day and a lot of stops) and I'm concerned about the durability. I'm at 75 kg.
@@liammullan2197 it’s great 👍🏻 you could happily go full electric for a 40/50 minute journey, roughly with no peddling. However if you need to go up a steep hill I’d say you need to give it some assisted pedalling. If you can’t peddle I’d say ensure you stay away from hills. However you have zero suspension so unless you lift up off the seat standing on peddles if you hit bumps your going to feel it big 😂 the cheaper models and m1 seem to have suspension which id consider if you have bad knees.
I own a Fiido D2 for the past 2 years... 3 weeks ago the locking mechanism of the handle bars straight up broke while I was driving... The just folded when I was in motion :3 Luckily I was calm and gently slowed down... In the past the mechanism had undone itself and again it started to fold while I was in motion... Even the frame folding mechanism has done it once... Again, I was in motion O_O Now the mechanism of the handle bars is broken... I just went ahead and DIYed a solution for keeping it down (because there is no way to keep it "locked" anymore... I wonder though... Does Fiido seel replacement parts?...
Great review, but it is a fold-able bike and I would have liked to see more comments on its fold-abilty. It doesn't look easy to carry onto a public transport system, just for lifting into a car boot? How will the fold joints hold up, will it become a weak point in the frame over time? That plastic accelerator lever looks like it will break off in no time.
Hi Chris. I've had this bike for a month and a half and, sadly enough, can't agree with your review. My main concern is build quality and support. My bike factory setup was almost unusable: the chain was way too loose for the first 4 gears and I had to use the higher gears (5-7), the frame hinge was way too stiff and unfolding the bike required the equivalent force of lifting a 60kg weight bar. On the second day, I got a flat tire (which I've never had on this route for 3 years of riding other bikes) and took it to a bike shop: there were metal shards between the tyre and the tube, probably leftovers from the manufacturing process. The tech also warned me about another concern I had: the rear wheel makes a weird noise when cycling with the motor off. He suspects of poor lubrication which might lead to wear out. However, here's my biggest issue: the seat post insert is rotated slightly to the right, so the seat hits my right inner thigh on every cycle, and it doesn't look to be fixable. There are more annoyances: · The seat will not stay in place and keeps tilting upwards while riding. Screwing it further down won't help, will have to take it to the tech once again · Mud guard was not included in my unit, had to buy it separately · Missing seat post ruler · The engine is very weak compared to other 250W ebikes I've ridden · The front bar will not lock when folded, it might keep bumping the frame/fork and chipping the paint out · Same for the folding mechanism: looks good on camera, but I've ended up not folding the bike at all. You have to unplug the battery, lower the seat post, fold the bike and rotate the front wheel so that the bike won't fall to the left side. And make sure the bike isn't resting on the crank cover · As for the weight, it's far from 12kg: slightly over 18kg once you insert the battery/seat My current feeling with this bike is remorse. I wish I hadn't bought this bike. For a bit more I would've got a similar bike with proper customer support in a local shop.
What are you doing on a 20 inch wheel fold-able with a 15mph limit that requires hydraulic brakes? 160mm mechanical discs seem more than adequate for the intended purpose.
Yes that's why some bits are muffled sorry. There were people around, and I prefer to record in the moment with the sound of the motor and sea etc. Not 100% voice over.
I rode it 85km up hills and thru a plantation estate, gravel and road. After the ride still had 3 bars out of 5 left. No complaints for the price i paid for.
Oh best of of the best 🤣 Well i will have a fat tire Fiido M1 Pro soon. 500W motor and it has a much higher top speed. But heavy and no removable battery. And a dual motor scooter later on.
Very nice bike...and beautiful design...only one missing thing is front suspension which makes your ride much comfortable...I think it is perfect citybike
while not completely kinetic energy, the Eahora/Paselec bikes has a sort of recharging method when the bike is going downhill with PAS 0-1 and around 19mph i think at the flats.
The problem is you can't lock it outdoor without taking off the battery, otherwise, the battery will be stolen if you live in a city like London. However, the battery costs only $350. As well, there is no front suspension, if you ride in cities like London with a lot of potholes, you might end up having pains in the butt lol
Thank you very much for your reviews. Very informative and extremely well made, I have few questions 1. does this bike a fully electrical mode like scooter? 2. Is there aways to change the seat to make it more comfortable and to add a suspension. Thank you very much for your help and your channel.. I wish you well..
Some countries Indeed ban them. Others allow it. And others allow it under the conditions of immatriculation and special insurance... We are one as a continent but independantly we have many lame différences 🤭
Nice! But me im intressted n the Xiaomi one, Himo i think it is called... ah so i was right with the area ;D We have a couple places in Calpe and as well the resto Las Bairetas in denia is a clear favorite!

Thank you! Also how I think a review should be which is why I try to stick to the info people need to know.
@@Techtablets ....you forgot to address one of the most important parts, it's folding capabilities.
wow i never really looked at this bike this way. the color threw me off a bit but this in depth look makes me want this. this is an incredibly nicely built machine. i wish it came in black though
Hi Chris. You can't unlock the speed on the D11 like you can on the D4S. Also the engine is less powerful and smaller than the D4S's even though it's also 250W. Not all Watts are alike ;)
Thanks for the info! I was lead to believe you could with this same D4S controller. My bad.
Still d11 is nicer
@@gideonMorrison Agreed it does look the best out of all the Fiido units
I think the ds4 for is a better overall choice at almost half the price.
Be cool to see the baby maker bike review as I wonder would the difference in price be worth it especially considering the Fiido X is releasing soon
Still happy 3 years later? And were to buy new battery?
Your reviews are great mate.
Glad you like them!
Is the accelerator available for the bikes that are sold in the EU as well?
hello brother ! I have an doubt, I'm a bit confused which one to buy. Can you help me with it brother?
1. FIIDO D11
2. FIIDO M1 PRO
3. FIIDO M21
4. FIIDO D4S
Fidodido is back as a bike! 😅
It would be interesting to see the fiido m1 on some of those rougher roads.
M1 Pro is coming! And it will be tested on some rougher stuff for sure.
Brilliant 😎
I'm getting one and putting Tannus Airless tyres on😃
Wise move zero worries about punctures then!
Sorry to ask, but since you don't seem like a short individual, can I ask your height and weight?
From the video, you looked very confortable... (or confortable enough :))...
Great review.
What is the max speed please?
I had one of these for 500 km's. Afterwards, the electronics went defective. Support from Fiido not available.
Had a look at the cables --> they are by far too thin, no wonder the bike failed.
I would not buy a bike from Fiido again.
Shame it doesn’t have a belt drive like the ADO air 20.
Could you fit a rear rack on this bike?
Thinking to buy a D11, do you still have it after a year?
One of the main reasons I bought my D2S is that the battery location is not immediately obvious and you would need a Philips screwdriver to remove it. That battery is far too easy for vandals to steal off that bike and having had various accessories stolen from my bike over the years I am sure the allure of stealing that battery would be too strong for some of the scum living in my town to resist.
Maybe the new Fiido X (to release soon) is a better choice. What city do you live?
Are you gonna review the new fiido x?
Is that comfortable for 1,85m user height? Will knees touch the steering bar?
It will be im 1.82 and its fine.
Fiido d11 or Himo Z20, wich one is better?
Was a toss up between this and the L3. I've decided to go with this one as the L3 looks like a clown bike.
Good move the 14" wheels make the L3 like a tiny clown bike. The D11 is also good and cheaper.
Thanks for the good review (as always on your channel).
I have a question about the weight - you mention only 13 kg, but from what I`ve heard (as I had interested in purchasing this e-bike for my girl) it is 13kg WITHOUT the battery. Plus the battery (4kg) the total weight is 17kg - which statement is true? thanks
yeah it's 17kg with the battery
can you take this on the plane? just wondered.
Not the battery no, it's over 100wh
How much range can you do?
hi guys. How much PSI of air do I need to load for Fiido D11? Thanks 😇
It's normally on the tires like 50 PSI max I think for this model But I would run 36-40 PSI max otherwise it's too hard the ride.
Have this motor noise?
where is this place??
12.9 kg without the battery. :)
Yeh they keep forgetting that
It's 18.5kg
you dont have a sit too lmao
Hi i am 1,55 height is good for me?
Is the throttle removable? I cant have a throttle according to local laws unfortunately.
Yes you could unplug it.
Good day all. Does anybody know if the battery must be removed with a key or can anybody remove the battery/seat post?
Battery can't be locked. Easily removable.
Thanks for this great video. How well does the bike fit into a suitcase?
Not great it would have to be a very big one.
Which one is better, fiido m1 or fiido d11?
M1, better quality
what is minimum age and height for this bike for kids?
Depends on the rider. But I would say 12 years? Hight info on on their website.
Weber Crest
I take it the seat height is not adjustable?
You can see a height scale on the seat post in the video, so it should be adjustable.
Hi, I do show it in the first 30 seconds of the video 00:28 and later on. All the info is in the video or you can see it (Pretty self-explanatory from the footage)
I chose d4s because it looks like normal bike, this bike looks flash, flash = high on thief's radar.
Good point there!
Nice video

A moped requires registration, motorbike insurance , motorcycle helmet, cannot go on bikeways or footpaths. The police are now fining heavily across Europe ebikes that are not Pedelecs.
I don't care. Because this is such a traditional looking bike I just fake pedal whenever I see the police.
Is it New Zealand accent? 😄
Very weak and slow bike. Overpriced .Not realistic review.
Oh course it's legally limited to 25km/h for Europe so it's slow. Not sure if it can be unlocked.
I think if Fiido can give the US customers a way to unlock the speed to 18 or 20 mph like other companies, D11 should be a best seller even at the high price.

Not sure if Chris mentioned and I missed it, but the bike is over 19kg with the battery. Not light.
Beautiful place in Spain. Thanks for telling us where it is
Hi Chris, Sorry to ask but what would be your height and weight? Im a big guy so Im trying to work out if this will be suitable for me.
78 kilos and 1.82m

TechTablets‘ very insightful reviews coupled with Dénia’s exquisite scenery are surely a winning combination.
*seems like trash, too many defects, people in the fiido group having problems with the motor and the seat not staying in place, get the d4s better*

I usually watch your phone reviews, but I'm glad I watched this one. Beautiful scenery.
Thanks!!
Dammit, I ordered this and didn’t realise they took away the handle twist throttle from the d2s 😭 really hope it’s still as fun to go full electric.
Hey Edward how did you get on with the throttle control? I can't pedal (knee problem) so would prefer the twist control too, ideally.

Is there a ebike that uses the kinetic energy to charge that battery
while not completely kinetic energy, the Eahora/Paselec bikes has a sort of recharging method when the bike is going downhill with PAS 0-1 and around 19mph i think at the flats.
Spain vs New Zealand. Tough choice. Both are very beautiful places to live...
Prefer NZ
Problem is you ain't always going to want to take out the battery when you lock it and someone could easily steal the battery
You will if you are worry about it
I have the D2S hate having always take the bike up stairs just charge the battery
I got a lock that secured the seat post and battery
@@jamesl9371judging from some of the posts you’d have thought they don’t exist…well done you

Yes! I've ridden all my life.
i didnt understand whats is that cable behind the bike.
The problem is you can't lock it outdoor without taking off the battery, otherwise, the battery will be stolen if you live in a city like London. However, the battery costs only $350. As well, there is no front suspension, if you ride in cities like London with a lot of potholes, you might end up having pains in the butt lol
No suspension = in places where I live it would mean im dead....
awesomr review
Glad you enjoyed it
Had to lock up the bike without getting stolen
Which one is the best fiido d series vs fiido m series ? Im gonna use it mostly for city and put on transport but even for some off roads
Is that possible to buy a spare battery for this bike? I am looking but not able to find one.
Would still work without the battery on
Can it be changed to MPH on the Speedo and the ODO?
Can u put bigger tires on it?
Wider tires yes, but bigger now limited to 20-inch.
The Problem is battery so easy to steal
May i ask what your height is? I've read comments that this model is awkward for riders who are 6 feet (183cm) and taller.
178cm it's okay for me.

Opinions, FIIDO D11 or FIIDO M1?
From Philippines here 🇵🇭 the foldable bike has EIS and OIS i bet on it 😂✌️
Nice one
do you know if the brake caliper is post mount of flat mount compatible?
can u change the battery level to a percentage?
Sadly with the accelerator on the handlebar, it's not allowed in the EU.
Which EU country?
Some countries Indeed ban them. Others allow it. And others allow it under the conditions of immatriculation and special insurance... We are one as a continent but independantly we have many lame différences 🤭
By the way, on Fiido d11 the throttle is, correct me if i'm wrong Chris, removable which makes it then allowed everywhere even in italy.
I could be removed yes. And still give you the 3 levels of motor assistance and limited to 25km/h
@@Techtablets Germany
Very Nice
I like this nice ebike.
so how do u get a suspension seat post?
can't?
very dumb for battery placement.
no suspension no buy.
Buy a car.
How tall are you? Do you think the seatpost can get high enough for someone 190cm?
Hi, I'm 184cm. For 190cm I think it would.
Nice!
But me im intressted n the Xiaomi one, Himo i think it is called...
ah so i was right with the area ;D We have a couple places in Calpe and as well the resto Las Bairetas in denia is a clear favorite!
Oh nice!
Excellent review. Very informative.
Glad it was helpful!
Can you replace the seat? say to a wider bigger one?
Yes it's possible
If you get a back wheel punture how do you repair it as nobody seems to know
Like any another bike. You remove the rim and replace the inner tube. Or use slime anti puncture to repair it.
