Chris here with a tiny little e-bike this is the Fiido D3 Pro it has 14 inch wheels mechanical
disc brakes and it weighs 17 kilos which isn't too bad for an e-bike like this the handlebars
fold down the seat can go all the way down so you can easily fit it into a car and we
have a 250 watt motor in the rear hub the battery which is inside the frame right here Fiido claims
can get us around 50 to 60 kilometers in range the capacity of it is 7.8 amp hours or 280 watt hours
so in this review i'll be testing it out i'll let you know the exact kind of range that i can
get out of it how comfortable is it to ride such a small little e-bike here and all the pros and cons
so we have the tiny little 14-inch wheels 250 watt motor here in the rear as i mentioned and we've
got mechanical disc brakes the discs on these 160 millimeter and we have a tiny little kickstand
and our tires on this are fitting for the type of bike so road tires
and they make very little noise very little rolling motor guards up front and the rear
and our discs at the front are the same 160 millimeters mechanical disc brakes
so right here we have a crank sensor so it knows when you are pedaling the batteries in this right
here so we can't actually remove it it's not user removable now the capacity of this one is 7.8
amp hours which translates into 280 watt hours and it takes around four hours to fully charge
this little box right here you're probably wondering what it is is it batteries no
this is where the control is located and our charging port right here which is a three pin one
we do have a front headlight which is relatively bright it lights up the path ahead of you
and for you to include in the box right here a tail light so this one is quite bright and
a nice bit of added safety so it's removable and it charges via type c both our seat height
and the handlebars are fully adjustable as you can see that seat drops down so low that even
my three-year-old could ride this bike and what's curious to note that inside the seat post we have
a pump to inflate the tyres now the pedals are also foldable on this model so you need to do is
press here they fold in and then you can pull them out and they clip into place they're made out of
an abs style plastic which is quite durable our handlebars as you can see fold right down to get
them out of the way making storage a little bit easier so the latch here locks into place it's
very sturdy good welds around here and there is this little security that you put into the
hole to make sure it's never going to come down on you crank at the front has 52 teeth just a single
speed too with these tiny wheels and if you run out of battery it's going to be really difficult
to climb with this so only ideal for flat roads when you have no battery lift
our seat is nice and wide with plenty of padding so for long distances it's quite comfortable
now our controls here so we've got our rear brake front brake accelerator and
our screen very basic it displays our battery life there are five bars each representing 20
battery our speed and then the three different modes a little hard to see in direct sunlight
that's it there's no odometer with it then we've got a light here and the horn the buzzer
which is quite loud that's built into that front headlight now these are not
lock grips so they do move about a little bit i really wish they were lock grips
so how was it to ride so right now as you can see my knees are getting very close to these
handlebars now i've got the handlebars i could probably go up a fraction higher
i still feel that it's a little uncomfortable for someone of my height i'm 184 centimeters
now with normal turns like now it's turning i'm not going to strike my knees are not going to
strike the handlebars here but if i was to turn really sharp you can see that it's not far away
at all there which is a minor issue there we're just being so compact this frame it really is
a little bit too small for me and then we're writing well you've got three options there's
three different running modes without the battery on at all pedal assist mode and then just using
the accelerator here which is on the right that i showed you before so just turning that
now i can get up to on level three up to 29 kilometers per hour maximum i don't have to
pedal at all on the flat that's great and i'll test it out on climb soon now as soon as you
start pedaling right now pinning away the speed sensor takes a few seconds to then engage and i am
away there and that's how you can get the maximum battery performance too if you pedal at the same
time it's going to be a lot more than just using the battery only the motor only in the moped mode
now i have a little climb here a tiny bit of rough road and it's going to be okay even with these 14
inch wheels it's not too bad and then getting up this short climb the motor is definitely boosting
me up here without the motor it would be quite tough with the no gears of course using and riding
a bike like this now for my steep climb test so this is about 25 30 degree gradient here let's
see how it's going to handle us i'll first start out with just the motor and then the pedal assist
all right car coming so i don't want to get in his way but i'm just using the motor here
you can hear it and it's struggling right now 250 what's going down now to nine eight
kilometers it's just not going to happen on these steep climbs you are going to have to pedal
so let's see what it's like now peddling oh and i've stopped why is
that because the speed sensor hasn't detected that i'm actually pedaling
come on come on come on come on come on there we go and now this is well that's actually okay
so without any battery power at all i would not really want to be riding this up a steep
hill because it has no gears and okay we've got 52 teeth at the front but it will be quite difficult
so here i'm having to put a little bit of effort with this steep climb here to get up this hill
and braking performance so not actually too bad they're mechanical discs
and i thought with the 14 inch wheels wouldn't be so good so i'm about 30 kilometers now
hard on the brakes bit of skidding and really not bad the front brake especially seems to be
quite good so to be careful in the wet that it doesn't slip
and with a bike like this i would certainly just keep to
the roads i would not be taking this off-road so no off-road test
no rough road test because it's got no suspension it's only got little small 14
inch wheels so this is strictly streets only cities and that's what it is a city commute e-bike
now what about that range so right now i'm losing 8 to 10 kilometers per battery bar so that matches
their claimed range of 50 kilometers however if you're heavy well i'm about 80 kilos at the moment
and you weigh more than that and you're going on a lot of climbs up a lot of steep hills expect the
range to be then i would say more like 45 to 50 kilometers max so these little wheels really only
for city commutes this is what it's about this is a city town bike it really is that last mile
bike that can take you from the train station to your place of work or from the train station
home you can jump on this and you do that right there without having to walk and you can just
do and cover those distances with ease so just using it in the moped mode which is only using
the accelerator you're looking then at i would say about 15 to 20 kilometers range because it
burns through the battery a lot more than of course using the pedal assist up to 25 even 29
kilometers per hour on the flat that is definitely fast enough nice large seat which is comfortable
but for me my size as you can see now this bike is tiny the frame here makes it feel
quite cramped and i almost feel like i'm riding my seven-year-old daughter's bike or one of those
miniature little clown bikes with the tiny wheels because i'm really used to something quite a bit
bigger now i never struck the handlebars with my knees which is a good thing because normally when
you turn you only move the handlebar a little bit that's all you need so it didn't quite get
close enough that i would end up striking my knees against the handlebars one thing that i've got to
give feedu here is the build quality is quite good and this is almost a first for e-bikes no rattling
whatsoever there's no noise when i'm writing battery doesn't rattle the pump which is in the
stem of the seat post here it does not rattle the mud guards do not rattle nothing rattles
at all which is great to have when you're riding along there's no annoying rattling noises which
i really hate even my expensive trick rattles so the range the build quality are the pros it's not
going to be a bike for everyone especially this size as i mentioned there so thank you so much
for watching and i do hope to see you in the next up-and-coming e-bike review bye for now
