Fiido D11 Review AWESOME Foldable eBike!

[@tonyhodge364]

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.

[@Techtablets]

Thank you! Also how I think a review should be which is why I try to stick to the info people need to know.

[@GirlyEnglishGamer]

@@Techtablets ....you forgot to address one of the most important parts, it's folding capabilities.

[@zafrullahyazid6542]

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.

[@gkirmathal]

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 :)

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for watching. Yes i think it's quite a good one better than the D4S I reviewed

[@Drubbered]

Not sure if Chris mentioned and I missed it, but the bike is over 19kg with the battery. Not light.

[@iwrutledge1]

TechTablets‘ very insightful reviews coupled with Dénia’s exquisite scenery are surely a winning combination.

[@HandheldAddict]

I usually watch your phone reviews, but I'm glad I watched this one. Beautiful scenery.

[@Techtablets]

Thanks!!

[@jamesl9371]

Beautiful place in Spain. Thanks for telling us where it is

[@rocklouis2904]

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

[@ExploringAndMe]

Still happy 3 years later? And were to buy new battery?

[@M8R3rojcq]

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.

[@danjomanjo2941]

Thanks, that's the review i needed. What is your height, mate and is it comfortable for someone like 1.84m tall?

[@ChubbyChecker182]

Really interesting points from you, thanks.

[@tahiburalom840]

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?

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

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.

[@FrankieTech]

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!

[@Techtablets]

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.

[@tangaako5908]

Will it ever come a time when the battery drains completely to zero and u have to buy a new battery pack?

[@jf9979]

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.

[@Techtablets]

78 kilos and 1.82m

[@fender1000100]

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.

[@MyHomeExperiments]

Is the accelerator available for the bikes that are sold in the EU as well?

[@mark46ification]

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

[@Techtablets]

Yes, true

[@Lmhafu]

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.

[@GodsMemeTV]

i love your e-scooter / e-bike reviews. I want to purchase one but still waiting for the BEST of the BEST :))

[@Techtablets]

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.

This nature is awesome! Definitely not a bad place to be during a lockdown :D

[@Techtablets]

Not at all!! Thanks for watching!

[@hamusyaigh3317]

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.

[@GeorgeKoukoulis-g6l]

What is the max speed please?

[@angelme5692]

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?...

[@ad_fletch]

Hmm makes me think a rigid version with no folding or QR handlebars would be better option

[@danimal519]

does the seat lock?

[@isam1193]

Fiido d11 or Himo Z20, wich one is better?

[@johnzach2057]

Spain vs New Zealand. Tough choice. Both are very beautiful places to live...

[@Techtablets]

Prefer NZ

[@JuggernautFCP]

Opinions, FIIDO D11 or FIIDO M1?

[@reinthiemen558]

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 ;)

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for the info! I was lead to believe you could with this same D4S controller. My bad.

[@AbdulazizAsiry]

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..

[@RandomStuff-hj1zo]

Are the tires on this bike suitable for dirt and gravel tracks?

[@Ed-zi9ju]

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.

[@liammullan2197]

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.

[@Ed-zi9ju]

@@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.

[@liammullan2197]

[@viachy]

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

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

yeah it's 17kg with the battery

[@Arihiroki_LG]

Is there a ebike that uses the kinetic energy to charge that battery

[@skyMcWeeds]

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.

[@teejayhobbyartist1974]

Are you gonna review the new fiido x?

Can it be changed to MPH on the Speedo and the ODO?

[@NOMAD-LEISURE]

can u change the battery level to a percentage?

[@Mimoza120]

Hey Does the bike assist you when you pedal or do you have to apply throttle?

[@virgin26]

Watch the video and you will find out the answer

[@aissalaribi7672]

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

[@pmsr1980]

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.

[@raptorxxxx-dd1fh]

do you know if the brake caliper is post mount of flat mount compatible?

[@Lar308]

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.

[@roniew.r.8479]

Maybe the new Fiido X (to release soon) is a better choice. What city do you live?

[@jhonchan4770]

can you take this on the plane? just wondered.

Not the battery no, it's over 100wh

[@simontechmukventures7308]

hi guys. How much PSI of air do I need to load for Fiido D11? Thanks 😇

[@Techtablets]

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.

[@crookofmyarm6838]

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.
