Fiido X

Over recent years, E-bikes have opened up a realm of possibilities for both professional and casual riders. For those looking to tackle routes with too many inclines, electric bikes can open up otherwise unrealistic rides. 

If you’re more of an A to B rider or have certain conditions that make it hard to ride longer distances, electric bikes can allow you to ride journeys you might otherwise be tempted to do in your car.

So, whether you’re a long-distance bike rider looking to go even further or a commuter rider who doesn’t want to pedal for a whole way, investing in an electric bike can transform your riding experience. 

Meanwhile, folding electric bikes are a great choice for anyone with limited storage space or those who need to hop on and off trains regularly.

These days, rarely can you find a practical AND  attractive electric bike. However, that’s exactly what you are going to get with the Fiido X - a folding electric bike with a modern design and an insanely long life on its 417.6Wh battery that can last for up to 80 miles.

A relative newcomer to the e-bike market, Fiido is a company that’s dedicated to powering the sports industry with innovative technology and has come a long way in a really short time. In 2020, the company launched a crowdfunding campaign for the D11 folding e-bike on Indiegogo that raised more than $1 million. 

Just one year later, Fiido raised the bar with the Fiido X, which has the simplicity of its predecessor but with a substantially evolved design and capabilities. You can learn more about Fiido X in this article.


Design - Minimalist Style

The Fiido X has a futuristic and modern feel with a magnesium alloy frame, which is both stronger and lighter than the traditional steel and aluminum frames. Magnesium alloy has high strength with low density. 

Magnesium alloy also exhibits incredible shock resistance, absorbing more than 16 times the energy of aluminum alloy, which is commonly used in electric bike frames.

A big disadvantage of folding e-bikes has always been the very apparent folding mechanism. So one of the most interesting features of this e-bike is that you might not even realize it’s a foldable electric bike at first sight. 

Fiido’s innovative, hidden folding buckle hides the folding joint perfectly, which as a result, streamlines the frame and offers easier folding. Once folded, this e-bike can easily fit in the boot of a car.

Furthermore, the chunky seat-post battery isn’t connected to the bike's electronics via a cable, as we’ve seen with the D11. Still, it features nifty power rails that run the battery’s length providing a stealthier look. The battery can also be removed whenever you want so that you can take it with you for regular maintenance and storage.

This bike’s wheels have a diameter of 20 inches, and the bike comes with rubber tires that feature anti-slip properties offering a better performance on asphalt terrain - a skidproof design serves to avoid slipping while you ride the Fiido X on a snow day.

This foldable electric bike is also equipped with an LED headlight and taillight, which can effectively light your way during your night rides.

Riding Experience - Riding with Ease and Style

Fiido X Design

One great feature of this foldable e-bike is the 350W rear hub motor. The main difference between a hub motor and a mid-drive motor is its location. You see, mid-drive motors are placed in the center of the frame, whereas the hub drive motors are built into one of the bike’s wheels.

Anyway, this motor can produce enough power to reach a top speed of 19.2 mph. The torque sensor responds extremely fast, accurately offering a better pedal-assisted experience and thus making for a more enjoyable ride. With the 40N/m high torque motor, you'll finally be able to enjoy the scenery during your ride rather than worry about the next steep incline.

Another interesting fact about this bike’s motor is that it’s almost silent, offering a relaxing feeling to your riding experience.

The Shimano 7-speed mechanical transmission system guarantees that the e-bike can deal with whatever road your route takes you.

The aerodynamic design featured on the Fiido X will reduce wind resistance in any condition, making your ride even more enjoyable.

Moving to the battery department, the inclusion of the DMEGC 18650 battery in the Fiido X makes this foldable electric bike impressive. In conjunction with the Shimano 7-speed drivetrain, this 417.6Wh battery can offer a stunning range of up to 80 miles per full charge. 

Moreover, by using just the throttle, one can expect a stunning amount of distance out of this e-bike, going up to 50 miles at around 20 mph. 

With this amazing battery pack, you should have more than enough power, range, and options to get you around the city.

Also, it takes up to 7 hours to fully charge the Fiido X, and the charger is included in the box when you purchase this e-bike.

Easy to Use - Ready to Ride with Increased Security

Assembly of this e-bike is very straightforward - it will take about 10 minutes if you’re new to folding electric bikes, but a seasoned assembler can put the bike together in as fast as 3 min! We managed to accomplish this time on our 2nd try. Also, you don’t need any special tools, and a toolkit is included in the box. 

The Fiido X comes with easy-to-understand instructions on the assembly process. The seat post battery needs to be inserted and locked in place, and the pedals fitted. After that, everything you need to do is adjust everything to suit your size. 

The battery comes partially charged, and it’s recommended to charge it fully before you take the bike for a ride. Once the battery is charged, the e-bike is switched on using the keypad found just below the tail light. You long-press the power button and when you hear the beep, enter the 5-digit code accompanied by a short press of the power button, and the display should power up.

This new security feature – a digital combination lock will prevent the battery or bike from being stolen.

Additionally, Fiido X has fantastic geometry and an adjustable seat-post - it’s definitely a one-size-fits-all electric bike that will fit anyone between 5.0 and 6.5 feet.

Safety And Reliability - A Safe and Dependable Companion

Another fantastic feature of this foldable e-bike are the hydraulic disc brakes, as these offer reliable stopping power. These brakes are strong, and it's easy to press the brake lever simply with one finger. Not only will they boost your confidence but they will surely keep you safe and sound.

In addition, each electrical component of the Fiido X is IP-54 rated, meaning it offers protection against water and dust, further prolonging the bike’s life.

And, instead of going with cheap lights, Fiido outfitted this electric bike with high-quality LED lights. The headlight will light up the whole road and not just shine toward cars in a puny hope that they notice you, offering you increased safety during the night rides.
