12 kg folding e-bike is the same weight with my chromoly frame folding bike, but I bet that mine is much cheaper. I bought mine 10 years ago in Thailand for only $300. My wife loves it. Practically zero maintenance with occasionally chain oiling once a month. For 10 years, change front tube once due to surface tear. It''s a 9-speed bike and can tackle hills easily if no more than 10% gradient even with an old guy of 72 years old who bike regularly. Don't see the need for this one now but will consider one when I turn 80.

I got the ADO Air 20 a few months ago (partly because of the review on this very channel!) I don't want to say I regret it, because it's been a great bike so far, but if I would have known that a carbon version was coming out, I probably would have waited a little longer.

The ADO Air 20 Electric Bike is currently £1,199.00 (£1,299.00 =8% for @electroheads sale) . The GoCycle is £5,499 (!!) so this one can be expected to be somewhere in the middle, but when it gets in your hands the best part of 4 large will be required ... would you still have chosen it? Two Air20 @ 1199 or one Air20 Carbon @ 3599?

[@davidhunternyc1]

That's the thing about e-bikes. Like Teslas, there is always a better, newer model around the corner. The problem too is that the resale values on e-bikes must be abysmal. In a way, it's better to get an analog Brompton, perhaps a T-Line. It will take longer to get to your destination but who's in a rush?

[@marcin_karwinski]

It still potentially boils down to the price. Too high and the weight reduction may not be worth it. Instead the geared and fully equipped Pro variant might have been a stronger problem for regular ADO Air 20 sells since its introduction. The carbon foldable 20-incher has already been offered by a few companies, only in a more limited niches offered by the small manufactures, with typical prices 3 times as high for a 3 kg drop from those aluminium regulars... so anyone could have already spent triple the price of an Air 20 for the carbon construction if one did due diligence... now if ADO decides to release the carbon models for under twice the regular unit pricing and offers 40% or similar price cuts to get pretty close to regulars or Pros, then maybe the feeling could be understandable...

[@SamuelSegat6314]

Please note that I saw in the ADO group that the actual weight of this bike is 15.3 kg, which is 3 kg heavier than the advertised 12.5 kg. I admit that it is a beautiful bike, but it does deceive consumers in terms of weight.

[@nadiaslijter1255]

It should have a center stand that can also function as a stand when folded, now it rests on the drive belt wheel, just like my ADO Air 20 Pro. Also I miss mudguards. Apart from that it's a beautiful design and much lighter than my bike, which is too heavy to take with you in public transport.

[@ZachShannon1]

Yeah, mudguards are an essential for any commuter bike. Don't understand why they wouldn't be included as standard.

[@marcin_karwinski]

They should release it with proper mudguards covering the wheels sufficiently, just not the metal ones from the regular's options or Pro's equipment. Maybe plastic and carbon light one to not bump the weight and still promote riding/commuting regardless of weather and road conditions. But they might just add the basic useless plastic ones from the regular's. Only they'd still increase the weight from the inspiring 12 kilograms they can now use in the product promotion key points. A kickstand to keep your carbon frame standing in folded and ride-ready positions would have a great option. Instead we need to use the battery seatpost bottom as a stand when folded, and basically lean the bike on something when prepped for travel...

[@marcin_karwinski]

Now the regular variant is 16kg with similar gear on it, I wonder if this 12.5kg weight is for the whole bike, or if it is sans the battery seatpost, cause when you ride it around you still need to carry the bike and the battery with a seat to be ridden, and then this potentially interesting weight factor could be really limited once you add the 2kg or so. @Electroheads do you fancy weight lifting check/verification of this bike? Frankly, I'd have given up the GPS tracking for a geared rear hub motor from the Pros. Or for added mudguards covering both wheels sufficiently well without any fear of rust creeping in...

I loved the surprise "Whow", as a spectator I can see the reaction was authentic! How does the rigidity translate in road use? There is no compliance at all, no flexion in the fork, you didn't mention the seat post being suspended -- I know rigidity makes it more efficient in translating the push on the pedals into movement, but how does it work on London abrasive roads?

[@bowman4275]

I can see that ADO's goal was to create a lightweight bike. That means it doesn't have things like the kickstand, magnetic wheel clamp, mudguards, racks, thumb-throttle, folding pedals, large seat, chunky tyres, etc., all of which add weight. Even if you added all those options it is going to be considerably lighter than a similarly spec'd Air 20. But in the drive to reduce weight does that mean that wiring for the thumb-throttle, for example, does not exist on the Carbon, like it does on the Air 20?

[@luisvarela7827]

Even without all of those standard features, the bike is not even that light. It's 15.4kg. Plus the display and the app are incredibly glitchy, the other big selling point, was the Anti-theft GPS and it doesn't work at all. To their credit they did refund me for the full amount of their bike, but their incompetence even shone through that process also. Just a terrible bike and a misleading, incompetent company.

That's an interesting question... Fiido Air started its life as a 12.5kg bike, by the time it was actually added to preorders this was bumped to 13.8kg. And ADO did promote the Air 20 as 16kg until they were weighted to actually be 18+ once you factor seatpost with battery and plastic mudguards... maybe this isn't really sub 13 kilos, but closer to 15 when ready to be ridden...

WOW! I bought one of the first available E-Bikes here in US. It was a 65# behemoth. Although it was fast, it was also difficult to get going, and at slow speeds, it was VERY easy to lose control and fall over or the need to jump off. Not to mention traffic in many US cities fails to exhibit signs of 'Intelligent Life'. Sure there are bike paths, but bicycles (here) are a poor choice for commutes. The bike you demoed has many of the features I've longed for. Instant take-off, no chain, ton's of basic features, and the big one, the weight. Right now I'm saving up for a Tesla, which is now my priority. If the ADO was less than $1000 USD, I'd be on the list. Your video was super! THANK YOU

Fiido Air, albeit light, is a somewhat big wheeled city bike with 70+ cm of step-over height and seat post at 92+ cm at the least with about 10 cm range up, and non-removable battery... so a light, but very different animal... Perhaps this should be better juxtaposed or compared with the regular or Ado Air 20 Pro... the cost per kg saved could be very crucial. Still, Fiido Air could potentially be interesting if the pricing is kept close to eg. Tenways and their also battery non-removable CGO600...

I wonder if one could get a stand mounted to the rear wheel hub plugs. I saw such in a few cheaper older designs from other Chinese manufacturers... maybe such an option could be the answer to this need. If ADO releases a stand that is separate from the bike to be used at bike's storage spot, it'd be useless for on the go stops where kickstand serves its purpose best. Furthermore, I wonder if one could mount some plastic more-coverage mud guards, front and rear, as the metal units sold by ADO with the rear rack typically went for €100-150+ and that's pretty steep... yet for a lot of the areas such a feature is a must, not an option.

someone needs to manufacture a lightweight folding bike with dual motors. many people live with hills and grades and not in a town that is completely level. dual suspensions and the battery elsewhere would be nice because you could replace the seat with a suspension post and a seat of your choice. sure these may add a bit of weight but is justified in towns with bad roads.

Super review. Can I ask if anyone knows about their Customer Support? Being a Chinese company I fell a bit wary to order from them in case something goes wrong or need attention...

[@stevedarcy2009]

I have this bike. stuff has gone wrong, customer support is ok, but parts take 5-6 weeks to arrive from China. Too many things have gone wrong for me recommend this biike

Is the carbon frame safe? Shock proof?

[@addiecusack1530]

Hi great video 👍👍 can’t wait to find out when they come out as you said curious on price ?? 👍 Again fab video well done 👍

[@holskitchenCanada]

Aw, what a cute hill!

[@d1amonddbw]

LOL. I used to live in Santa Barbara, Calif. There's a hill called Cabrillo Hill". It's a little over 1mile to the top. When I was in superb cycling condition, and had a 20# bike, I'd put the bike into 'Granny', and muscle up the hill. My guess is it was about 10% grade at some spots. Got clocked doing over 50mph going down hill. eeeek

Eilis, you should get Q for your shed to organize it.

[@simonleonmusic]

How would you rate this against the Gocycle G4i (for double the price)?

[@zapfanzapfan]

I'm sure falling over would be worse for the frame than putting a kick stand on it...

[@johnchapman3999]

Love it! Rad commuter machine!!

[@jb5music]

Does it come with a twist or thumb throttle for electric only riding?

[@kirkcircus]

No it doesn’t unfortunately

[@jeremypage]

If they did it for £2000, it would be a no-brainer purchase option

[@MuitapaTinted]

i think small cargo e-bike is the future

[@rigilchrist]

Looks great. BTW, what's wrong with calling human-powered bikes what they have always been called: pushbikes.

[@Dentaldude12345]

range, throttle only versus assist?

[@tiagula]

5:35 you talking about stability… meanwhile your smartphone… 😂

[@iguanaman08]

My guess is that it will cost at least 2k.

[@brunoramos1920]

Where we can buy it?

[@ioanbristow3376]

20 Pro or Carbon? Which should I get 👀

[@luisvarela7827]

FYI: I bought this bike and it is not 12kg, it is 15.4kg. They need to change all their advertising.

[@ycplum7062]

That E-bike entered E-scooter territory, weight-wise.

[@stevedarcy2009]

I got mine 3 months ago and it's terrible! it weighs way more than advertised, something like 15kg; mine arrived with 2 left peddles, so couldn't take it out until replacements arrived,then discovered the rear disc brake was warped,so rubbed againsted the wheel, that made cycling very difficult. I asked for a replacement, that did arrive 5 weeks later! and I am required to fit myself or take to a bike shop at my expense! But, more important, the weight distribution at the back is dangerous when cycling up an incline with a packpack on your back - I was tipped over twice in an afternoon, landing on my arse onto the road and oncoming terffic. Avoid.

[@luisvarela7827]

This bike is terrible after 5 months of waiting I received a bike with so many parts not working I have to return it and ask for a refund.

[@stevedarcy2009]

I am still trying to get this bike returned and get a refund! Worst bike purchase ever.​@@luisvarela7827

[@PaulStevens-x9z]

It should have a warning. I've been very cautious with mine since I set off up a hill and the bike rode up and tipped me off the back, jarring my neck and resulting in an afternoon spent in A&E getting a CT scan.

[@stevedarcy2009]

In the end, I had to get my credit card company to issue me with a refund as ADO refused.

[@stevedarcy2009]

​@@PaulStevens-x9zsame here, I emailed ADO about this and refused to listen, they said they've tested the bike and that doesn't happen - but clearly it does.
