Fiido D3 Pro electric folding bike review

[@RR-vg5hg]

Thank you for that seat lock idea, really appreciate it and will definitely do that, hate carrying the damn seat

[@jadams3427]

Good report, with some great observations. I just ordered a D3 Pro. I will get a cable lock that I can thread through the frame, saddle, and a policeman (!) so carrying the seat around is not required.

[@dudleydidright3254]

Always appreciate your reviews. Very thorough. Also appreciate that you are a real person with a real-world job, who gets his experience of bikes from daily use, and not someone who just cranks (haha) out the utubes with minimal knowledge. Invaluable. I share your attitude re the non-removable battery.

[@jeffdible8171]

Great content Brian! You have shown another fantastic use for e assist! For a long time I was a purist and thought ebikes foolish and wasteful. It really has applications for people with limitations of mobility, injuries, or beginning their journey to fitness or car free life. You definitely show the value!

[@trigs1441]

Great vid Brian ,informative as usual.My other half has an e bike (Raleigh e step away) which has allowed her to come cycling with me when the weather is right.Down side is its as heavy as a tank.

[@janesgotagun]

Great review. Love the indepth ranting on the dislikes of the bike. The folding aspect in relation to the small wheel size is a disappoint for sure. Makes you appreciate the Brompton even more.

[@markhooper5824]

Great honest review mate.👍

[@torinsall]

Thanks for the excellent review. Nonremovable battery is a dealkiller for me. Actually, am looking at the zizzo eforte... have you been able to try that?

[@tdgdbs1]

I ride a L3, it's been all over Mexico. The range is amazing, 100 miles easily with some pedalling. When tired, I fold it and put it under the bus. Amazing company.

[@ibikeunfolded]

I actually find the L3 and interesting bike…. It addresses most of my complaints with the D3. I might pick one up to test..

[@red6243]

Thank you for the pros and cons of the ebike😁👍its Helpful🇬🇧

I fully understand the reasons given, and the cost...But like many things, I tend to lean to quality with things I really like. I am enamoured with Tern Bikes, Center-drive Bosch motors & eletronics, gates belt, really quality stuff. Yes, they cost as much as used cars...I don't have any of them, I'd have concerns over the weak-link center frame folding over time as well, but they also make a model that is I believe HSD which is still low profile, but doesn't fold, those things are beasts and can carry a load! But they are all $$$$$...If I ever live in a bikeable community, I'd consider ditching my car and getting an e-bike! Great review on this machine. That's the first I've head of an e-Bike with a battery that can't be replaced! Careful of battery fires with those inexpensive bikes!

[@rosenbergls]

Cheers, mate. A clear and concise account of this little bike. As a 5'5" old chap, who wants a cheap run around to help me get fitter - would you recommend it?

[@Zen_Not_Zen]

Hi Brian , Great review as always. How is your knee now - did you have any medical attention/medical insurance ?

[@keithdainton6043]

Nice review Brian I have the fiido d3 pro myself although you can't just whip the battery out for charging you can get a replacement battery from fiido oh also I have changed mine to mph dont know if mines a newer version it doesn't come with the pump

[@ronjohnson7479]

i have the latest model and i love it,all depends what you want it for.

[@Mark-tb6nn]

I have this bike, great bike for getting around town in, Can turn it on and off with the Fiido App and easy to unlock the speed restrictor

[@MagicshineLights]

Thank you for sharing!

[@MrQuay03]

Will you review Zizzo E-Forte? It looks to be much more useful than this bike. Just a Forte with 250W rear motor and small battery for 41 lbs

[@jaapvandijk8701]

Hoi.i had a broken hip and my folding e bike realy helped me to recover from it and walk better.nice

[@krob9145]

Given the choice between being stuck in a bus or underground or the train and riding a bike I will choose the bike as well.

[@rainbowhiker]

I've been checking the, Ray Learns To Film, channel. From Singapore. There are so many Bromton clones over there it makes your head spin. Beautiful machines and most parts interchange with Bromton parts. Even there, they are expensive still.

[@bredemeijer9648]

Still watching, but do you have an opinion on the Gocycle? I wouldn't recommend it tho. Great looking and riding bike, but crappy as hell.

[@Robutube1]

I thoroughly enjoyed the honesty of your review Brian, but was left with the distinct feeling that it was built to a price and the non-changeable battery is the biggest dealbreaker. Let's be honest, no one's going to hollow out that tube - the bike's landfill once the battery dies.

[@ronjohnson7479]

you can purchase a replacement battery from Fiido.

[@rainbowhiker]

Is a cheap folder frame, a HILBERAIZEL $115 bike off Amazon, worth upgrading over time? The bike itself, as it comes, isn't a good bike, I know, but the frame seems solid enough to pass U.S. customs crash tests. Would like to replace everything but the frame. Have chance to buy a beat up used one.

[@GianniKnowsBest]

You aught to review the Tern Vektron

[@johnwright8814]

What does assisted speed max out at? Something like the British 15MPH? I think my electric Brompton is better in every way, but for the 15MPH speed limit. Oh, and it's not cheap.

[@tdgdbs1]

You can unlock the speed cap.

[@Mark-tb6nn]

I have this D3 Pro and live in the UK. You can unlock it with the Fiido App to around 19MPH

[@lordbentley730]

Can you adjust handlebar height?

[@monistyle5634]

Hi i have the same bike and I have a question about a stand for this type and whether it can be moved somehow thank you

[@bredemeijer9648]

Get a small extended padlock which you can slide short or longer for the seat. Weighs almost nothing.

[@dchurch911]

We made a bet on how many times you would say "guys" in this video. My wife was the closest when you hit 28. Lol Nice review with many pros and cons. I have to be honest, the concept of electric bikes seems pretty lame to me. Bikes are so efficient by simply pedaling. Unless someone has a serious disability or extraordinary commute, I don't get it. I've commuted 10 miles to school, and 12 to 30 miles to work (one way) by just allowing for time. Granted, there were always showers and lockers available. The biggest con I see for this bike is stability. More power/speed is asking for trouble here. We love our Zizzo Fortes. Thanks for your insight. I've simply upgraded components as the cheap ones wear out. The latest was the same crap pedals on this bike. I found some real nice all metal CNC cut folders on Amazon.

[@ibikeunfolded]

LOL, it would make a good drinking game😂. Yes I myself don’t really ride electric bikes…. Only under specific circumstances….like being hurt or if I have a fancy shindig I have to attend and I don’t want to be sweaty when I get there. I’ve got a review I’m filming on the Zizzo Marino coming soon.👍

[@jeromewaites5364]

You can replace this battery I did they sell it on there site

[@INWMI]

Great video! i have some questions since i'm about to buy one: do you have an electric scooter? like a xiaomi one? do you think the breaking have same effect that breaking in a scooter? do you consider this a good bike to go and back from work, 10km away?

[@carltongadgettmannprice352]

Have you reviewed the Igogomi Alps 16in wheel, Trifold ebike? This bike is almost considered a Brompton knockoff.

[@ibikeunfolded]

Never heard of it. Definitely something I’ll look into..👍

[@billettg]

You can change the units to MPH in the app settings - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hWi6hKGQYpp4mtk&ab_channel=FIIDOE-bikeOfficial

[@KG-theknickerbockerkid]

This confirms that an electric bike is not for me. Realistically, no electric bike would be able to handle the mileage I would need it too. Whats worse is the state would require insurance and / or titling if it goes too fast with pedal assist.

[@stevenbingham4828]

I have asked in a fiido owners group on Facebook about this (battery) and was ready to cancel my order right now. But seems you are wrong that the battery cannot be replaced, that would have been a deal breaker for me. I’m in the UK and we deal in mph, all in all you slated this bike I’ve got it on order and the after-sales suck and they have chose Yodel as the carrier who are the worst delivery company to have ever existed.

[@DenysZharkov]

€ 729

[@David_JA_Noble]

you cannot purchase this bike : internal battery ... often these cheap bikes have rubbish batteries ... it will last at most 12-24 months. Crazy design. Also if you have a rear blow out an hearing its very difficult to change. AVOID. Good video.

[@The_Creative_Workshop]

You can buy the battery for this on the site

[@keithdainton6043]

You can get a new battery from fiido it's on there website

[@stevenbingham4828]

Apparently he’s incorrect you can replace the internal battery. Overall I’m no longer sure I want this bike so on delivery it may be going straight back.
