[@TechLineHD]

Very nice-looking bike! Great review as always!

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for watching

[@ferencfapal]

Nice review (again)! How does it compare with the Ado 20(s)? Or the D11/D21? Thanks!

[@ReVolt_e-Vlogs]

I have 3 Fiido e-Bikes, the T1,M21 & Q1S, & love each one for it's own reasons! 💯 The T1 is my workhorse, grocery getter & kid hauler, & it tackles all 3 tasks with ease, the Q1S is my fun lil run around e-Bike, it's not the fastest, but it reminds me of a Mazda Miata, they might not be the fastest cars, but the fun factor they give us on par with supercars when carving curves, the Q1S is the same, it's just a fun scooter, & the 1 that gets the most attention it seems. The M21 is my TANK, it is my off-road e-Bike to enjoy the awesome trails here in Reno Nevada, it's torque sensor is buttery smooth & well be hard to ever but a cadence sensor e-Bike again, it's so responsive & intuitive, & actually makes you want to pedal, so you'll get more exercise then you'd think, because the torque sensor is so nice, I pedal 90% of my rides, it's great also in snow. I plan on getting the Fiido X after Christmas, the reason i am brand loyal to Fiido is because their after sales service is top notch, & they really care about their customers remaining happy, even after they get your money, a rare quality in the e-Bike industry

[@Techtablets]

Glad you're happy with them, I have my review of the T1 coming and I absolutely love it. You're right it is a work horse and I've been using it for short shopping trips to pick up milk, bread and a few things without a big shop. Easy to lock up and the front basket is so handy.

[@MovinThailand]

To unlock the speed , press the 2 button together on the display until it flash then press up down up down and that’s it 😊

[@Techtablets]

Thanks for the tip!

[@introtr8491]

Owners are still waiting for their orders but you reviewers get one!

[@bertybassett55]

Got mine as a normal order plus plenty in stock in uk shops

[@tahirahmed33]

Any links for the bike , also how much cost

[@smithy1011]

I bought this and than the himo z20 max while waiting for the V2 to arrive. I loved the speed of the fiido but thought the Himo z20 was a much more of a solid bike. Shortly after, the himo’s locked 25kph and 250w motor just annoyed me, other small gripes than compared to Fiido where the mechanical brakes (very bad), weight for lifting into car (awkward heavy), power drop hitting bumps (3 sec stall). Now I love the fiido x as it just works, smooth gears, that improved magnet, seatpost being able to extend so you can walk with bike, speed, light weight

[@shahan1465]

Please review the ENGWE C20 PRO. You reviewed the c20. I think the C 20 pro can compete with FIIDO D4S/ ADO A20+ in almost same price

[@Techtablets]

I’ll see if they can send me one ☝️

[@manuelmarin9529]

Hello, your videos are great. I recently got my F X, and I wonder if you know how it is put into KM h. All the best

[@Techtablets]

Hi try this triple press the m key or other button and it will switch from miles to km or back. Thanks for watching, what do you think of the bike so far?

[@manuelmarin9529]

@@Techtablets Hello, thanks for your help, I have already solved it. I've only had it for three days and I haven't been able to test it well, but I notice a difference at first, in relation to the torque sensor that seems to respond faster, but it's early. I'll be reporting news. Thank you.

[@NicoSensei]

Did they remove the "scooter mode" from older models? That was pretty handy for slopes, on the D11 for instance.

[@Techtablets]

Only on the EU models as many countries don't allow the scooter mode.

[@patrickengelen70]

I see you ride with the derailleur guard. I got a Fiido X and mounted the guard, but found out it actualy sits on top of the derailleur mount. The guard deformes the derailleur position, making shifting off. It rattles with the guard. Didn't you experience the same?

[@Techtablets]

No I didn’t seem to have any issue with it.

[@mikehunt42069]

1:44 can the magnet not be tightened down with the screw that's holding it in place? Or does it need some wiggle room to be able accommodate some variance when it folds? Either way I bet you could put a washer or something behind the magnet and it would sit more snuggly.

[@Techtablets]

I've tightened it up more and it rattles loose. Will fix it with some locktite and yes maybe a washer. If not I will remove it completely as I don't plan to fold it much.

[@bertybassett55]

I tighten my up and rattle stopped and never came lose.

[@vbvinz]

Would you recommend the bike for a 192cm tall guy?

[@krollpeter]

You are right that passcode lock is redundant. Otherwise, it is a nice-designed bike and more thought through than some others.

[@Techtablets]

It is a bit of a pain there is also an app to use with the passcode lock but what if that fails I still think a simple key lock would have been better off than this. But yes very nice design this Fiido X.

[@ayoubamiq8754]

Is the battery life long?

[@mohammadzein504]

This is the contortionist of E bikes😄! The bike looks sturdy, with a very practical design. Also It's great to see drum brakes here! A very nice modern folding E bike Sir Chris👌👌

[@Techtablets]

Thanks! 😃

[@krollpeter]

Where are the drum brakes? I see disks. I actually prefer conventional V-brakes, and cables. On my bike I can make both wheels block with two fingers. I don't see why I would need more.

[@krollpeter]

@@fizziemandellokc1032 No problem. In actual fact drum brakes would not even be the worst decision for bikes. I dislike the sharp pressure point of many disk brakes. Drum brakes grab softer, and can therefore not so easily overbrake. That is also why I like a coaster brake for the rear. I know half a dozen people who crashed from overbraking the wonderful effective hydraulic disk front brake. My sister flew over the handle bars and spend 6 weeks in hospital. She will never be able to fully use her left arm/shoulder again.

[@krollpeter]

@@fizziemandellokc1032 In an emergency shock-moment all of us will react the same, and just squeeze that lever. Even those with the most robust physical control. The next step then will be ABS for bicycles. They are thinking about it already. And then? Distance warner, lane assist, heated seat ... what else?

[@krollpeter]

@@fizziemandellokc1032 I would accept a combined braking system. But please keep bicycles free from most electronics. It is now already overboard.

[@kjireland3567]

I just realised in my wet country id need the mudguards on, so i looked up the photo of the bike with them installed and they really bring the design of the bike from a 10 to a 6 😂

[@Techtablets]

Always the case 😂

That’s Mark. Yes it’s off to a very slow start it seems people saw the older reviews posted before and not much interest in it.

[@NoMoreLies365]

Costs me nothing to not hit it either. I wish people would stop using that euphemism. 😅 it's really redundant.

[@Mark_Maguire]

Yeah well I wish Taylor Swift was my girlfriend. Who cares what you wish troll.@@NoMoreLies365

[@zero-hour1674]

Anyone I have a question. Does the bike brake when you are not paddling? I have experienced my old himo z20 max did that. So, it slows down even when you are not paddling

[@Techtablets]

No it doesn't but a tiny bit of motor drag resistance.

[@bertybassett55]

If you do up the screw on the metal magnet the rattling disappears. Well it did on mine Also the bike can be unlocked to go over 25kmh with 3 secret button presses and then the Speedo registers over 25kmh but i image Fiido said please don’t mention unlocks in your video which I can understand.

[@Techtablets]

I've tightened up the screen but it still came loose after a long ride and rattled. Some locktite will fix it now. As for the unlocking, no Fiido didn't say not to show it I can show anything. I just didn't use it unlocked as I wanted to gauge the battery life at legal limit.

[@bertybassett55]

@@Techtablets fair enough about unlock.

[@GFourGadget]

Foldable is the future of smartphones. Wait wrong video 😳 anyway it's a beautiful bike and seems quite nice to ride on

[@Techtablets]

It's a very good-looking bike.

[@fstop9466]

So does the fold latch still break when you go over a small drop?

[@Techtablets]

Nice Bishop of aliens. No they fixed that.

[@AlisCk]

Can you do a review of Livail PikaBoost?

[@Techtablets]

If they can send me one yea

[@marcuspresident]

I'm on the fence here, what do you suggest? The Fiido x or the ADO Air? Now August 2023 they cost almost the same with mudguard and shipping so the price doesn't matter.

[@Richard_L_Y]

Lots seem to have that question! But no answers?

[@polaedward4579]

Ado air has no gears

[@intienergia1]

Isn't it possible to remove the speed restriction as with other bikes?

[@Techtablets]

It is yes, removed it will go to 32km/h I think. But I reviewed it with the legal EU 25km/h limit in place.

[@jcm8413]

I’m split between D21 and the X. Both come with torque sensors. Is the difference in the motor that noticeable between 250 and 350? Throttle being a motivator for the D21. And lack of for the X being the factors I’m weighing in. Thank you!

[@Richard_L_Y]

Same here; be nice to get an answer, wouldn't it!?

[@thkatandi]

Try to get a test drive. I am.

[@jcm8413]

@@Richard_L_Y Hey dude I took the plunge with the X. Fun bike. You’d probably like to upgrade a couple things like chainring and cassette. Depending on where you live I guess. Lots of hills or flats

[@Richard_L_Y]

@@jcm8413 Thanks; you could well be right, I'd usually remove and upgrade e.g. tyres (to city / the least rolling resistance) and folding pedals straight away, and put on the best possible chain); the main things I need are 'proper' mudguards / fenders that actually work (rare) as am in the UK; a rack that actually works (usually additional or not possible; but who doesn't need to do some shopping on the way home or otherwise?); and most importantly being able to use only manually 80% + of the time, where easily able to turn on electric when needed for the hills! and then off again, to reduce e.g. unnecessary motor drag, without losing lights (or you have to add your own extra lights! (rare or not existing!?); this whole ebike thing is a can of worms!?

[@Richard_L_Y]

As well as a 'throttle' for the occasional, but essential, steep hill, very short term, assistance.

[@budawang77]

There is a way of unlocking the Fido X's top speed. This will also unlock the speedometer to show >25 km/h.

[@PepeTheFren]

*Evil laugh*

[@skeering]

How?

[@WeOutcheaMane]

Teach us then

[@KyleMonk1]

How tall are you. Can't find a straight answer on the height limit, Fiido says 6ft5 but with the handlebars not being adjustable I can't see how that can be true.

[@Techtablets]

I'm 182cm. I would say the height limit is around there maybe less. It's not a large frame at all.

[@juergenlilien2067]

6:00 I am scared of the welds on the handlebar folding mechanisms. I have witnessed, from painful experience with a German folding bike manufacturer, how this component was dimensioned over the years more and more solid, because there were too often problems with stability. And yet they now prescribe that the complete unit (expensive) should be renewed at least every three years. It's not nice when the handlebar rod suddenly comes loose while riding. Another disadvantage of this folding bike seems to me that the height of the handlebar is not adjustable, so it only fits properly for one body size.

[@seansmith6473]

And this is the ebike that broke in half. I wouldn't trust it.

[@Techtablets]

It's something I would keep an eye on. Like with any bike a quick inspection every ride to check for frame cracks, and anything that needs tightening up. Also the tire pressures every week or so. Yes the handle bar hight can't be adjusted at all.

[@gunta.]

the handlebar is from Dahon, so i hope the quality should be OK :-)

[@Luke-san]

3:02 .. I need to go and have my eyes checked out. I am seeing a light blue colour.

[@Techtablets]

It's more of an aqua color so in some shots looks blue in others green. It's somewhere in between.

[@Nobzu]

Any bike like this but with full suspension ?

[@Techtablets]

No at best just a front shock. They are trying to keep the weight down.

[@kingkal81]

I like the eBike. I'm glad Fiido addressed the issues too. I just don't like the rattling & the security system.

[@Techtablets]

Seems the rattle was the magnet thing. Some locktite on it and it’s fixed but the passcode well just a key would have been easier and better. I worry if later it fails..

[@gingerdude94]

Upgraded D11?

[@Techtablets]

Pretty much, it is similar looking. The same 20" size and foldable.

[@gingerdude94]

@@Techtablets I wish my D11 was more powerful, 250w just isn't enough.

[@Techtablets]

That is the downside to most of them, at least this gives a bit more and the climbs at level 3 seemed to be easy enough. Still I wouldn't want to have to climb up a big hill with no battery left.

[@tahirahmed33]

​@@gingerdude94 in UK it's legal requirement to ride on UK roads.

[@MrRobzkie]

how to open the password .i forgot mine

[@Aviationwithpete]

Second and love the look of this bike.

[@Techtablets]

It's a good-looking bike that's for sure and once the price comes down and they fix the little complaints I have with it will be even better.

[@itsrixtube]

did you say clumbersome? i think you meant inclonvenient

[@ReVolt_e-Vlogs]

You have to unlock it again to now unlock the screen to show the higher speed

[@Techtablets]

Okay well I didn't unlock this ebike but tested it out of the factory locked to the legal 25 km/h limit.

[@gunta.]

may you provide some short step-py-step instructions how to do this? Thanks !!

[@BENJAMINDEROMAFRANCISCOJRChane]

Hi , can I reset the password? I forgot the codes.

You'll have to email Fiido support.

DO NOT BUY...CUSTOMER SERVICE IS TERRIBLE. I BEEN WAITING OVER A YEAR FOR FIIDO TO REPLACE MY UNIT. I order the 350 W version. They shipped the 250W no battery. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR. Still no bike.

Highly unlikely with hills.

So does it break in half now bro? 😅🤣

[@Techtablets]

Shouldn't now that was the point of the recall and redesign.

[@bertybassett55]

Done 200+ miles on mine on uk roads which are bumpy as hell and not had any issues where as v1 was trash by 100 miles.

[@lightsleeperjude]

This is the worse bike I have ever ridden. Ridiculous customer service as well. Had the V2 only used 3 months then the controller got broken. The motor wont turn on at all rendering it useless. Even the partnered bike shop in London could not fix it. This company is really a scam. Steer clear to prevent financial headache.

Overpriced and it will break in half!

[@Ferhatkrmuzikkanal]

Far too expensive for this style and brand
