It's great to see a manufacturer like ADO take notice of your feedback👍. The Air ticks pretty much all the boxes. Hydraulic brakes, lock key grips, and no rattling what so ever. It really folds nicely and has an ergonomic design. A very nice City e bike indeed Sir Chris😎✌👍
Great bike Indeed. thanks for the review Chris. Always a pleasure seeing your full tests. If interested, better buy it fast as the prices will go up very soon i guess
On my daily commute to work i have a 18% uphill to do..do you think it could be ok?do you suggest this bike or you think its best if i look for something else?also i wanted a foldable because there’s lots of bike thefts in my area and i want to bring it inside with me
@@Techtablets actually they could have used some of those gear-integrated hub motors to get it implemented... Otherwise they'd have to move engine to mid location, possibly impacting seat post foldability, leaving rear hub free for internal gears... Certainly doable, just a lot more engineering to be done... maybe they'll release Air Pro or Air Evo with such changes.
It seems to tick all the boxes to be a really good city commuter bike (assuming it's not too hilly), I can't see any obvious weakness's. I'll be interested to see your full review
Thank you for clearly showing the fold, unfold, and also how it is to carry around (which is rarely seen in such reviews)... Do the wheels have a magnetic clasp when folded though ? Great Review as always.
I wanted a 250w model but with throttle. If you order the international version but live in EU you get a 250w one but they throw in the throttle for you to fit yourself.
I got the Legend Monza for my commute last year, no regrets at all. If I were buying now this would be a strong contender I think (I mostly cycle unassisted though, so having gears on the Monza might still sway the equation towards it). Kind of thinking how I can sell having a second ebike to my partner though 😂 Maybe better not push it, she's already agreed to me getting a turntable and woofer this month.
great video, I noticed you also reviewed PVY Libon. How do they compare? Features and price are similar, but the PVY Libon has two built-in batteries and a front suspension fork, and comes with a battery lock. It's more profitable that way. Do you do comparison testing?
Its good looking buy and it has almost all tech I want in 20 inch folding bike like lightweight, good battery and carbon belt. But would it be more practical to have more gears or is one gear enough? If I want more gears than i would like to have internal hub like nexus 7 or 8 with thumb or twist shifters. This mean the bike need to be with mid drive motor. However the simplicity of ADO A20 with 1gear kinda is winning me over. Great bike.
Is there any safety valve for the battery? Or it can be removed easily from anyone? Also if u use only throttle without almost any pedal , which is the real distance that covers?
Trying to keep the video under 10 minutes so it's edited to be shorter but it was the same slowed down a bit on the climb it's only the 250W version. Also this is a hands-on video not a review 😀
Okay well It's because this video is sponsored (flagged at the start with a message pop up) and not a review. So It's more of a hands on video. My videos that titled as reviews will defiantly have the normal Pros and Cons list plus not edited down to under 10 minutes.
@@Techtablets Appreciate your content and the fact you need to pay the bills. These videos are really well made and I've watched a lot of your reviews. I already ordered this bike before your hands on but with suspension forks at 17kg. Can't wait to get it!
Thank you for the insightful video! Based on your review, I purchased the ebike and I'm enjoying it. However, I've noticed some fluctuations in the battery level indicator-sudden drops followed by significant charge recovery. I'm uncertain if this is typical behavior or if there might be an issue. I'd be grateful if you could share your experience regarding this matter. Greetings from Denmark!
Hi, glad to help out so the dips in the gauge are normal as it's based off the output voltage which does drop a lot after climbs for example and then it will bounce back a little after recover some voltage. The are not perfect or accurate but a rough idea of your battery life. This is with all ebikes unless you have one that shows that actual %.
The weight savings and 100km range seem almost too good to be true and the carbon belt drive makes this bike all the more intriguing. It's on the pricier side but with all these features, it seems fair.
Is is a fair price for the weight, belt drive and quality of it. But the range it varies, I'm looking at about 50-60km with minor climbs. I think on the flat and if you peddle over 25kph maybe 80km is possible, but only the 250W version. Not with the 350W one.
Correct yes, that was my error. But the description it's listed at 350W and in the little climb test the text states the 350W version for people with some big climbs.
The Lectric bieks I've heard of, the XP 2 it's like an Engwe Pro makes me wonder if its' the same ODM? Just rebranded, it happens a lot with these ebikes.
Hi , great video, I’ve just purchased one and haven’t had it out yet, can you tell me if the red brake symbols come on when you pull on either of the brakes? Mine is doing this but not sure if it’s meant to or not?
Nice review for the bike! Looks like a handy little city commuter. By the way what's the general location, if I may ask, seems like a nice place for a vacation. I get the feeling it's somewhere on the eastern side of Spain, maybe Alicante or Malaga areas.
I have this bike. The range is about 30 km, my weight is 82 kg, which is a big disappointment. An additional disappointment is that the battery cannot be locked, so if you go out, anyone can take it.
I mentioned that about the battery not being lockable, they said to me they would offer a lockable latch for it, or in the revision guess it never happened?
I have it too. Battery lasts me very long as i rarely use full capacity assistance. I share your concerns about theft. I just bought a chain to lock it to the frame. Dont forget these bikes can be kept in most places u go to.
I'm happy with my Fiido X. Frame seems very strong and good quality overall. Torque sensor and brakes are flawless. The annoying rattle was due to the magnet but I think they've fixed that. It has a slightly longer range but is about 4kg heavier than the ADO A20. Lack of gears on the ADO would be a deal breaker for me.
Those mudguards really need to be changed, they seem to useless on the rear wheel... Pity they haven't released its "beast" variant with a 750+W 50+Nm peak engine, it'd make a huge difference on a torque-sensing single-speed belt-driven model. Some more powerful hub motors are just a kilo or 2 more, thus it'd still be under 20 kilos... Air Power anyone?
@TechTablets you're living in a very warm and sunny climate... Most of the central and northern Europe doesn't have as good a weather, and there a good set of mudguards are a must-have for any "daily-driver". Otherwise, you're doomed to become wet or muddy ;) Certainly not something you want to be when riding to work or for other duties...
I don't think you can on this EU version. On the international version with the throttle you probably could, but with it only having 350 watts I don't expect you would get much of an increase in speed.
You cut off on the hill climb! Also what speed does the motor turn off. My mate got a electric road bike and its the most pointless thing as the motor stops working after 15mph which on a road bike is way to slow it helps with hills but means most of your riding you are just carrying the extra weight rather than utilizing it.
@@Techtablets yes. They offer it as an option on their indiegogo campaign. You just have to ask for it. Heres a quick video of it. The folded dimensions with the fork is 860mm*490*650mm m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8FeL9q_d6T4.html
Since this video isn't a review but a hands on of the bike it's not in this video. But pros, the weight, build, belt drive, range and how easy it is to fold. Cons, no gears not for big hills the 250W version.
@@Techtablets thank you, so I am waiting for the full honest review ( I mean if you identify any issue on the frame or on the components pls let us know)
Nothing at all, the frame is very solid and I have far more confidence in it than the Fiido X. No rattles, well put together it doesn't really feel anything like their older (cheaper) build bikes.
This is a lot lighter and uses better Samsung cells. But the battery drain depends on the peddal assist level and many factors. I never get the claimed ranges
