When I see your review i know it’s gona be a good one 🙂, always nice scenery, video covers all interesting points and real world 🌎 question’s..... can you do a list of your E bike ratings of everyone you test 1 being best so on so on 🙂🙂

[@Techtablets]

Sure, so far: 1. Tenways C-Go 600 (Non-foldable road/city normal style bike) 2. Fiido M1 Pro (500W fat wheel speed monster when unlocked) 3. Fiido D11 (Nice frame, removable battery with modern look) 4. ADO A20 (This bike due to screen and ride comfort + removable battery) 4. Fiido D4S/Pro 5. Fiido L10 Pro (Size too small for me)

[@rytmydjembe]

@@Techtablets when im googling for tenways cgo 600 I can't find anything

[@debee1544]

Wondering which in your list is easier to cycle unassisted..I'm looking at Ado a20+ Just weight and stairs but iv learned there is a walk mode, not advertised though so don't k ow if can rely on that

[@BelfastBiker]

I wonder if that rattling sound is the battery inside, rather than suspension? If so, it should be easily fixed with some felt pads or similar.

[@Lumicron]

you can change to an all elecric mode. at least with the a20+ . while display is off, pull the gas triger full, pull right brake and left brake, hold all 3 while powering the display on, whit a few seconds, release all triggers. power off and power on. now the 3 level should be all elecrical. you can reset this with doing the same procedure without the gas. but with maximum power and all electical you will only get like 20 km 😅 maybe a bit more because im at 102 kg ....but driving with 35 throug the fields is great, especialy when cruise modus is activated, so you even dont need to pull the gas trigger 😎

[@gideonMorrison]

Chhhhrrrisss! Will you PLEASE review the Himo Z20???

[@Spectacles641]

Any way to fix that annoying click sound when pedalling? Thanks for a great review.

[@gen0ne]

Hi Chris, You always have to pedal before being able to accelerate?, that means that in that climb if you were a bit higher most probably moving a bit would be super challenging I guess...

[@mark46ification]

Nice review Chris...I would probably invest in a D11 though...I like the design and I think it's better built bike...👍

[@Techtablets]

Fair enough! Yes the design of the D11 frame is very nice

[@luke5309]

Which feels faster when accelerating using only the throttle, this or the fiido d4s?

[@dublinese415]

hey is it safe to take away the speed limit or could i break parts? thanks

[@notreal9903]

Hi, thanks for your great review. Do you know how to activate the 35km/h and also the fully electric theottle only mode? Would it be possible to share your P0 - P20 settings in the configuration menu also, please? Thank you

[@tonywalters66]

Good review on these bikes, thanks. So, on the whole, would you recommend the Fiido D4S over this ADO A20?

[@Techtablets]

The Fiido has the better build and ride assistance. But I do like the shock, removable battery and rear damper however of this one. Overall I think the D4S if you can get it cheaper is the better deal

[@gideonMorrison]

@@Techtablets chris, what about the Himo Z20 and C20?

[@ballebredballe]

The d4s and z20 are good but They are only 250w and Will max out at 25kmh where as the a20 can go 35 kmh. I would choose the A20 because og this.

[@coaldust01]

@@ballebredballe the d4s is easily unlocked to 34 kph, the motor says 250w for regulation compliance, probably no different than this 350w.

[@kevindarkstar]

I'm guessing that looking at the front forks suspension I'm thinking it's super cheap and it's spring only and no hydraulic damping

[@petemarquez6370]

Is there a front shock I can but and install ?

[@kacakmazot.]

Himo z20 or ado a20 which one nice for you? I like it himo z20 desing🙄🤨

[@janosrajki]

i have tested the bike on some pretty rough uphill terrain. after a couple of minutes of heavy use in assist mode 2 or 3 the motor turns off and E07 appears on the display. then after a couple of minutes the motor turns back on but makes a strange noise and turns off again. after about 10 minutes it goes back to normal. maybe the controller cannot handle this much power demand, i wonder if there is a way to limit the power output in assist mode 2 or 3.

[@sadiqalam2815]

Did any other issues happen

[@Techtablets]

D4S is the best value. And the D11 I also quite like.

[@WilliamCh999]

@@Techtablets thanks for this video. Do you think d4s is better than this ado a20 even though 250watt Vs 350watt?

[@Techtablets]

Fiido D11 and D4S. And Currently testing the Tenways C G600 which is not a foldable but road/city ebike it's really good but $1500 USD.

[@seansmith6473]

Bro please review the new cmasewheel RX20, 750W looks better than Fiido M1 Pro.

[@Techtablets]

Not heard of that brand but will see if I can

[@giacoh]

Very nice review, as always. I have one major concern: my city (Lisbon) has pretty steep hills (30°); and I'm looking for a city bike powerful enough that will allow me to climb them by pedaling without working a sweat. Would you recommend this one for the job? If not, how powerful of a motor do you think I should look into? Thank you very much!

[@Techtablets]

Good question! The most powerful so far for that is the Fiido M1 Pro also review. You don't need to peddle so much or that hard as it has a 500W motor, and unlocked it's even better. I've also got a road bike I'm reviewing now that is good at climbs but it's not foldable and $1500

[@giacoh]

@@Techtablets Thank you very much for the swift response. So I guess no 250w motor is really enough to pedal through steep hills. I think I'll have to enlarge my budget then... Thank you!

[@stevemann7073]

You need 350w MINUMUM for hills. The A20 handles hills really well. I live in Croydon London and commute to Camberwell for work. It hill city on my way to work. Gypsy hill. Beaullah hill, herne hill. Denmark hill..and the A20 handles them All with some light peddling. I have the upgraded controller. Which has 5 gears. 3 pedal assist. And pas 4 and 5 are for THROTTLE only. When I want to ride up a hill I got to pas 4. And just give it a little help with gear 6 or 7. It's a great bike.

[@immoservicemark7506]

I have bought the m1 pro, i live near Benidorm and we have also some hills. The M1 pro does this effortless. Also the range is big, easy 80km

[@MarianaAlfafar]

@@giacoh have you decided and if yes, how is it going? I'm planning to buy one to use in Coimbra, and hills are definitely a thing :p I'm around 50kg, which is def an advantage for this. Thanks!

[@accelized3599]

I'm planning to get this bike but I'm wondering if the frame and overall quality is as good as the D4S (despite the paint issues), would you recommend buying this one or the D4S? I want a bike that I can keep for long.

[@Techtablets]

D4S has better quality and the D11 even better

[@accelized3599]

@@Techtablets Awsome dude thanks. I'm going for the D4S, I love the design of the M1 pro you reviewed but I believe for a daily bike in the city the D4S may do a better job for the price.

Which is the better e bike to get in your professional opinion thanks.

[@Techtablets]

If you want a Foldable, M1 Pro or Fiido D11. Otherwise a Trek Rail 2021 model...

[@ianrmatthews]

Hi Chris, as another Spain resident, might you know the rules and regs for riding e-bikes in the country / EU? I love the price of this (well the A20+) compared to the Himos (be it the Z16, Z20, or the ZB20) but with the max models costing a fair deal more for what looks like less power and the lack of throttle I don't quite know what to do. I don't want to get caught out by Spanish law on the way back and forth to the shops!

[@Techtablets]

They can't be faster than 25km/h and should be 250W many the motors.

[@Kmmc2011]

Hey Chris, which would you recommend.. The A20 or the Himo Z20?

[@Techtablets]

HIMO Z20 definitely or the HIMO ZB20 I’m now testing. A superior build quality on the HIMO it will outlast the ADO bikes for sure which have cheaper builds

[@marcomongke3116]

Can you please share your brief opinion of Hima Z20 compared to this? Regionally Himo bikes are cheaper here in Asia. Sadly they lack suspension and has 250w. Cant find Ado bikes in local stores, which makes it slightly expensive for me. My usage is occasional uphills in urban areas.

[@Techtablets]

Hima Z20 I haven't tested sorry so can't comment. This ones 350W might do better with the climbs for you. Or the Fido D4S is also good.

I am deciding between ADO A20F and ADO A20F XE. Can you show me some differences? Some websites say that ADO A20F XE is 250W, 350W, 500W. I don't know which information is correct? Can ADO A20F, ADO A20F XE unlock speeds up to 45km/h?

[@Techtablets]

Different regions have different limits. But I think you can unlock it. The ADO build quality isn't as good as brands like HIMO or Fiido (expect the failed Fiido X)

[@Techtablets]

Sounds like suspension to me and yes maybe the battery

[@macg86]

Got mine and I have to say the paint job really isn't great. My box wasn't damaged in traffic and I took great care not to cause any scratches unpacking it but there were quite a few scuffs and scratches in the black version as well. I guess that comes with the price-tag. There were also a lot of metal shavings still in the bike frame frome where they've milled out the battery cavity. Other than that it rides pretty solidly and the front mudguard can be adjusted to prevent it from bottoming out (even though both front and rear guards are are probably the flimsiest things I've seen so far). The USB type A port on the handlebars is a nice touch and supplies roughly 1.5A @ 5V according to my tests, so it's actually useable to charge a smartphone at moderately high speed. It does however get extremely hot even after 10 minutes of use, which is super common for cheap dc-dc converters like those also found in Aliexpress spec USB car chargers) I would agree with the review, decent bike for the money. The manual lists the weight at 24/28 Kg with/without battery, have you weight yours?
