Hi Andy, you know the drill brother. 48v shark battery mounted to the top tube and change the controller and you can ride it all day at 30 mph. You are a big boy on that little bike but all good. Ride safe and often and always, thanks for the content. PS. you need your shop with welding capability so you can hack up some of these bike, hotrod them and turn them into proper fun machines. Peace bro from across the pond.
I have a D1, for the most part of 12 months ownership, it’s been a great bike, lightweight, legal…ish, great fun with them tiny wheels and Colchester’s roads lol, does me well for 20 miles but cut that to ten in low temps as battery doesn’t like the cold, but it’s so small you can throw this thing anywhere, bang for buck…worth considering
Great review, just looked at the price and they are quite an affordable way of travelling a short distance in you live somewhere fairly flat. A good method of city commuting.
Great review! Been looking for a little E Bike for a run around for weekends only, this is currently retailing for £363 so might go ahead and treat myself to one. Cheers
52v and a phaserunner. Oh...wait. Not a phaserunner. A BAC or sabvoton or something. It'll happen. Andy has that voice telling him to do bad things. Steve. Hehe
I fixed my Swagcycle with a 1000w 10" motor and run it at 48v to 72v whatever I want. I get speeds up to +65km's or more depending on the charge. These things can be modified easily if you are handy.
Great review as usual! What do you think of the Fiido D11, D21 & X range? As I want to take a punt but just worry about no front suspension. Interested to know what are your thoughts?
Great review mate. Any chance you can review the LANKELISI folding fat bike? Torn between one and buying a mid motor and good mountain bike to fit it to.
I have a Swagcycle classic well not anymore I modified it with a 1000 watt motor. Then modded the controller by soldering the shunt and changing the voltage on the caps. Now the controller can take a 72v battery and a scary rider, if you know what I mean. I've reached about 65km's then I back down the thing is only 3 feet long. So you I know what you mean about these little things. They are fun and attract a lot of attention Cheers
Andy, watching your video's has rubbed off on me. I convinced the wife device to buy an Outlander Phev. It goes alright. very weird sensation of the engine doing its own revs and the electric motors dragging the car around. Very quiet at 70 (ahem) speeds too. Will even accelerate nicely up Baldock hill on the A505 !
hello, I have the ds2 love it but as you said andy that bit of wobble when at speed i think i may try some wider mtb handlebars nice review I'm subscribed to my friend ATB .
Thank you for a other great video I really enjoy your videos my friend Good build the bike is great looking Cant wait to see more video What is the name of the helmet in video
I have something similar from megawheels. I put smaller competition MTB handle bars on to make it feel better balanced. The geared motor did go after a year tho. Handy little bikes though. Should fix it up soon.
Thanks for sharing !! Great if you could do a review of the new 2023 Fiido L3 with a crazy 1113.6Wh (48V , 23.2Ah battery) The USA version comes with odometer and the ability to turn off the speed limiter, to get the 'real' top speed of 21mph as shown by ElektroTV in "Fiido L3 Speed Unlock (2023) Guide". I'm in doubt whether to buy the new 2023 USA version and import it to the UK, or to buy the restricted version in the UK and change the controller and display.
I'm looking to get a great quality eBike to replace my car this year. I'm looking at Vanmoof or gazelle expensive at over £2000 but I think it's a good investment. Please it will get me fit.
I like it but I want one with gears and truly foldable. Fiido anyway I would consider. Sad that you cannot remove the batteries if you live upstairs in an apartment though.
its so nice shops these days let people bring their bikes inside ,even at morrisons the security guard will say leave it next to my desk and he will guard it lol
Alright Andy kirby it's james kirby here, I have a 2000w kit 48volt 45amps controller running on a 52volt 30amp hr battery, and all is fine I get 37mph out off it, I am planning on adding another 52volt 20amp hr battery to it running at 60amps max, I want to know will it damage my control box with more amps running to the wheel from the double battery i have planned, or do I need another control box with higher amps,
I put a middrive bbs02 750 watt in a single speed folding bike and its a riot to ride , the gearing is 40T to 16T on a 16 inch rim .... Its a beast for torque lol 16 mph flat out and 13 up any hill with no pedalling i get 30 + miles from 48v 17.5ah easily . Its a weapon off-road 🤣
You'll want to increase your rear cog size, 1:1 is perfect, the motor wants to spin fast builds up heat quickly take a look at high voltage channel, I've got one of his kits running 4kw through the BBSHD
Really wish middrives were more popular and cheaper then having to pay 4k for a good one...might have to get a sondors or build it full custom for like 2k...
Dropping the seat and bars all day long do the same on my Kurin B2. You can't really pedal probably just like the Fiido, but pretty gutsy with 400w motor!
I have the d3s which is same but with gears so better for hills. It's quite capable and feels stable enough considering the tiny wheels. Fits in the boot of civic no problem. People laugh at me a lot when I ride it though lmfao
@@MrJob91 the fuel saving is great atm especially lol. I love the fact that I can just go for long rides to places I've not been before without worrying about fuel and parking, gives a great sense of freedome to explore . I was planning on taking some quads with me to do done aerial shots if the places I go to but not yet done it.
Hi from across the pond! I'm in New York City. I actually just purchased one of these bc it's on sale. One thing no one shows on the videos is how to charge? I know the battery is "built in" but what does that mean as far as where it can go when charging? Will it need a lot of space? Mine will be in a private garage but I guess that means I'll be stringing a cord to the AC plug on the wall? Thanks!!! Great review!
@@David_JA_Noble I ended up getting one and I love it. Sadly I've flipped twice bc of stinky self centered ppl on the streets where i live but I still love the bike.
@@David_JA_Noble Thanks David, just scraped both knees, right the first time / left the second. I've taken to staying in 2 while riding on city streets but i found that i'm not making great time anymore :( People are just too self centered. I go on 3 when i hit a bike lane or fairly empty street
Is there I difference between the United States bike and the UK? I mean difference rules for bikes. Because I don't see your bikes her and are bikes there.
Ciao siccome in Italia è illegale acceleratore, mi sai dire ho se qualcuno sa come disattivarlo? Ho come ha fatto ho Se c'è qualche video di come fare? Grazie
@@andykirby just wanted to say, I'm going through a divorce recently, way after I watched your video on it. But it looks like you are staying strong and moving on. You are inspiring! 🏍️
Fiido are having a few issues with models at present they have recalled the new fiido x as a customer had a frame snap in half . I’ve got the fiido new m21 with built in torque sensors and just four weeks old the 500watt motor has packed up they say to ship one I’ve gotta wait 3/4 weeks even though I bought it from a U.K. company
Aw man. Thats not good. I'd end up modifying it and fixing it myself, are you sure it's the hub whixh has packed in and not some other electronics like the controller? Honestly there's not a lot to fail in DD hub motors.
@@18ct I’ve been advised to swap the motor the ebike I bought it from sent a replacement motor arrived yesterday I’ve stripped it down and swapped it over just about to re install it
Talking of helmets…I got a lumos matrix and I can’t even give the f.ing thing away!…probably cause I look like Jeff bezos blooming rocket with that on me head 😂
Let's see...arthritis, healing painful knee injury, hot humid temp...lots of reasons, so maybe be a compassionate human being instead of a snarky judgemental uninformed person. Just saying.
It's a CRAP. The battery died after just one summer and Fiido did not take it's responsibility and just said "there is one year warranty. They can not even suggest a repair. Now I am sitting with a dead battery and bike gathers dust in basement. DO NOT BUY THIS CRAP!!
