@@ThePanikkos12 It's an incredible bike. I chose it over the Fiido M1 pro because its PROPERLY waterproof and looks better. My friend has the M1 pro. It's not properly waterproof..and when he was caught in a heavy down pour. It affected his motor and controller. And he lost his top speed for 3 days. I've been caught in torrential rain twice on the ADO A20F already. And it handles it fine. It's a proper ALL WEATHER bike. I've even been on snow with it. It handles it all. Plus it looks badass on the road. With those mag rims and solid almost military GRADE frame and fat tyres. It gets RESPECT and consideration from other road users. And even people on motorbikes have to do a double take. It looks like it can take down a wall. I put an innova road tyre on my front wheel. And immediately this increased the top speed to 26mph. And the range by over two miles aswell. Just love this bike. And the onboard charger means I can charge my mobile phone or anything as I travel. Love it.

Hi, what range do you get approx with 40KMPH unlocked?

[@dtz1000]

Not much. I only get about 10 miles range at 20mph. That is not good enough. It's why I hardly ever travel at that speed.

[@bartekswierszczek5303]

You reached a speed of 45km / h with pedaling or just on the motor without pedaling?

[@donsmith3573]

I have same bike and following your instructions mine will only do 20 mph but maybe I’m not getting long enough straight road sections. I bought some steel mudguards from ally express for £45 . My three issues I have are first I bought a suspension seat post to make the bike more comfortable second im going to change the brake pads as my brakes sound terrible and third I’ll change the handle bars and stem as I find the original to short and not a good position, thanks for video

[@fender1000100]

That's impossible unless you got the EU version. Which is set at a max speed of 31kph. You need the INTERNATIONAL version to release the full 500w power of the bike. And hit 25mph top speed. More if you are sub 180lbs and put road tyres on the bike like I do and did. I've hit nearly 27mph (46kph) on the flat. Your WEIGHT is a factor. If one rider weighs 175lbs. And another weighs 250lbs. It's obvious who is going to go faster on an ebike. As for suspension just get a big universal saddle with a back rest. Like I've done. You will feel like you are floating down the road on your favourite couch. Ass ache is non existent on this saddle even after 1 hour plus rides. Suspension is overrated. The correct psi and a thick universal saddle will give you all the comfort you will ever need.

[@fender1000100]

@@donsmith3573 Yes I have a feeling you may have got the EU version. But have you tried setting the parameters on P8 and P9 and P14? This will tell the story. A cloud 9 or better still a millaoyo universal saddle with a backrest. You can get them on Amazon for around £55. And you will float down the road. You see when you purchase from geekbuying they have EU and international options. Can you remember which one you chose? Theres no 250w motor. What you seem to have got is the A20 motor which is 350w. And will allow a top speed of 34kph or 21mph in a real world test. And someone weighing less than 180lbs. Until its unlocked. The international version comes unlocked already.

[@dtz1000]

If you are a heavy person then the top speed is about 20mph. Lighter people will get it up to 22mph or a little higher. Also changing to a 48v battery gives you a couple of mph extra.

[@XiaomiGadgetsGuide]

Great bike! I programmed it with 0 start so I can use Throttle when standing still (traffic light etc). Personally speaking: I like the acceleration speed. I wouldn't feel comfy if the bike goes from 0-40 in 3 seconds when riding in a crowded city centre with lots of pedestrians and co-cyclist. Indeed missing the mudguards, but I believe these will be available soon. And you are right..people staring at the monster is a funny feeling haha!

Good review. You mention that it is a lot slower than your other bikes accelerating, what bikes are they and would you recommend any other bikes over this at a similar price?

[@MrTechcat]

I ride Fiido D4s daily. And I have uploaded comparison video ADO A20 plus vs A20F recently showing exactly how more powerful fat model on paper is actually slower because of the extra weight against the regular A20 plus

[@welshyyyyy]

@MrTechcat great thanks, I'll take a look. I did have a fiido d2 a year ago but it had really low power, I sold it within a week as it was so slow and under powered, so I'm looking for something about 500W this time. I have a couple of electric skateboards and my mate has one (which goes about 20mph+) so looking for a bike to alternate when I'm not in the mood to skate and one which will keep up

[@fender1000100]

@@MrTechcat Its slower on excel. But when the A20F hits its peak. Only level 3 bikes can beat it. I hit 27MPH on mine. I weight 172lbs. Weight is a factor. If you have the same TOTAL weight on the A20.and A20F. The A20F is going to win.

[@MrTechcat]

@@fender1000100 exactly. It's slow to accelerate and in the city you constantly have to slow down and accelerate because of all intersections.. so it feels super sluggish and slow. And even outside the city the battery is gone in just 20 km, so it's a fail for any countryside trips too.

[@fender1000100]

@@MrTechcat Not if you have it pimped out like mine. The reason I chose the A20F over the M1 PRO. Was you can add a rear rack to the A20F. Aswell as having more flexibility with handlebar height and a better front light and a USB charger.. I added an 18L M WAVE cargo box. And guess what's in my cargo box. Yep a spare battery. So I can get over 22 miles at over 20 miles an hour speed for most of my journey. It takes 2 minutes for me to swap over batteries. But the time I save in my round trip of 20 miles to and from work doing so is at least 30 minutes. Compared to when I used to have to go much slower (9 miles an hour) to preserve the battery. To get to work and back on a single battery. The other thing I did was change out the TYRES for speedster honeycomb tyres. That immediately added at least 2 miles to my battery range. Because your rolling resistance is greatly reduced. And that also means you accelerate faster and reach a superior top speed. (27MPH) Remember what's making bikes like the D4S easier to ride and go further is they use slicker road tyres. The speedsters make a world of difference to the A20F. Even pedalling with the motor turned off is so much easier. And with the amazing design of the speedster honeycombs your road grip isnt compromised either. They are expensive. But worth every penny. For the effect they have on speed and rolling resistance. The A20F becomes more like the A20 with them on but FASTER and more comfortable. They also reduce the NOISE the A20F makes rolling on hard roads. So its ALL good. Plus I can keep my mobile phone charged on the A20F. Which is FANTASTIC for exploring new destinations. Plus the design of the A20F. Draws alot of attention. Its built like a TANK. Almost military grade like the hummer of ebikes. One of my work colleagues calls it the BATMAN BIKE. I just love it. Other people out there give you more RESPECT and consideration on this bike. Than they would if you were on a light flimsy bike. Because this bike looks like it could knock down a wall. Plus I swapped out that small uncomfortable saddle. For a big universal saddle with a backrest on it. And now it feels like you are floating down the road. On a very comfortable chair. Just AWESOME. Never have any ass ache. Even if I ride for 2 hours.

[@FerDutchman]

Dear people who live in Europe, do not mess with these settings! yes, it's all fun and cool to go faster,... but if you get into a accident, doesn't matter if it's your fault or not, when you have this setting on, in Europe, good luck with paying for everything, because the insurance will absolutely not cover you anymore! :) Also, the motor has to work a lot harder, and will break down sooner too. (not that big of a deal, but it will work on full force so it will take less time to go bad.) and last, the throttle is illegal in Europe, only assist paddle is legal!

[@dezischuiling3195]

Great review, but what is the difference between the EU version and the International version? I want to buy this beast.

[@fender1000100]

The EU version has a 350w motor and can only go 31 to 35kph. The International version has a 500w motor. And will go 39 to 45kph depending on your weight and the tyres used. I get up to 47kph on mine. As I weigh 171lbs and use Vee honeycomb speedster tyres which immediately add two to three miles of top speed to the bike. Seriously decrease rolling resistance. So even with the motor turned of. It's much easier to pedal. Plus your RANGE. is increased by as much as 4 miles a charge with these amazing tyres.

[@Chronoholix]

@@fender1000100 45kmh on gps??

[@dtz1000]

@@fender1000100 The reviewer only got 40kph max on level ground on the international version, so you are exaggerating the differences if there even are any. I can do nearly that speed on the stock EU version on level ground, but I usually avoid going that fast as the battery charge disappears real quick at that speed.

[@dtz1000]

How do I get pedal assist to go up to 40kmh? Even when unrestricted i can only go up to 25kph before the pedal assistance stops helping and it doesn't work at all in level 3 throttle mode. Is there any way to make it faster?

[@bunbun_corner]

Same mine... How fix it?

[@dtz1000]

@@bunbun_corner I figured it out. In the settings, change the size of the tyres from default 20 inches down to 18 inches and your pedal assist top speed will be increased to about 19 or 20mph. Speedometer will still read 15mph, but if you use a GPS speed app you will see the real speed is faster and you will feel it as well. So tire size is how you control the pedal assist top speed.

[@Maferto]

[@fraula1]

Hello. 40km/h ?? Are you sure the A20+ is faster than A20F ??

[@fender1000100]

No it's not. He is biased unfortunately. In the comparison video. He is pedaling like a maniac on the A20+. To try and get it to go as fast as the A20F. In a pure throttle test the A20F is about 4 miles an hour faster. 21 vs 25. The A20+ reaches its top speed in about 20 seconds. The A20F reaches its top speed in about 30 seconds. But the A20F reaches the A20+ top speed in the SAME TIME. I've tested both bikes so can confirm this as a fact. So unfortunately this comparison video is flawed and misleading. Due to the author's personal bias for the smaller A20. And smaller bikes with smaller tyres in general. Like the Fiddo D4S and Fiddo D11. But make no mistake about it. The same WEIGHT RIDER on both bikes will go FASTER on the A20F. I weigh 171lbs. And I got a top speed of 21.7mph on a flat road. With a fully charged A20+. I got a top speed of 25.8mph on the same road with an A20F. So without question the A20F is a faster bike. Take no notice of this video. It's a lie. He bases his argument on ACCELERATION. Which is also misleading. Because from a STANDSTILL. The A20F will reach the A20+ top speed in around the SAME TIME. It just needs about 10 seconds more to reach it's own top speed of 25mph. So this whole video is misleading and flawed.

[@fender1000100]

Another thing fat bike users dont understand is you are using BIGGER wheels than 20 inch. The fat tyres make them closer to 23 inches. So when you program the computer you have to take this into account to get accurate numbers. And you should be putting 23 inches for wheel size.

And that's all I need from a charge. As my round trip to work and back gets covered. If you are adamant you must have 22 plus miles per hour. Then that's the trade off. At the end of the day. It's still a hell of a bike for €850. Plus the battery can be removed and charged conveniently while I'm at work. The way others charge a mobile phone. It's all good. The MX21 has an 11AH battery. So you would not be getting that much more range if you hit 25mph anyhow. The only Ebike out there for under a grand that can give you SERIOUS range from a single charge when unlocked to go over 22mph. Is the Fiido L3. That bike is the KING of range. With its huge 23.2 AH battery. But few people want a bike with 14 inch wheels. The M21 has a top speed of 36km. The A20F has a top speed of 46Km. Once you go over 25mph. You put a much greater drain on the battery. If I've got to get somewhere faster than normal on a given day. I simply charge the removable battery while I'm at work. Then I can fly around at 25 plus mph. On the way to work. And on the way back.
