BEST ELECTRIC FOLDING BIKE? THE FIIDO D2S, WATCH BEFORE YOU BUY! 

Thank you so much and really hope it helped you out!

@@DanEscapes yes it did and I'm actually buying it before the year ends thanks!

Really appreciate it!! Let me know if there’s anything else you want to see!

Nice

Man they are nice but hard to skate, I'm not good enough haha! It's been in a few skate videos. images.freeskatemag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/20162750/lucien_clarke_fakie_fs_flip_wandsworth_london_2017_omeally.jpg

Tbh i would love to get the super 73-RX but soo expensive!

Thank you for watching!!! Are you still looking at getting the bike?

@@DanEscapes Yes. I have a Brompton Bike. The add-on for that is very expensive, so I am looking for an alternative.

@@fritzcapet2101 Brompton is a really nice bike. Have you looked at swytch kits? Swytchbike.com

@@DanEscapes yes. It is nearly the same price as our German product. All about 1600 Euro at least. The Fido is half of that. The only advantage of the Brompton solution with e would be that it will not take much place. The folded Brompton is a very little package. The size is really great.

Yeah I really enjoy riding it, puts a grin on my face!

What is the weight of the bike please?

@@laraxx3694 it's around 19kg, pretty heavy but it's fine to move in it's bike form but harder to move in its folded state.

How much

@@bunacrichard3857 the cost of the bike is around £550 depends on exchange rate etc

I hope it helped!

It’s a great run around bike for commuting, that’s crazy how the price has gone up and will probably only go up in price. Have you tried any other electric bikes?

I dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know a way to get back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me

@Reece Pedro Instablaster =)

@Ezekiel Anderson thanks so much for your reply. I found the site thru google and Im trying it out atm. I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@Ezekiel Anderson it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D

I’ve just seen them now, looks pretty decent but not keen on the battery placement (might not be the batt haven’t looked at it properly). If I can get hold of one would love to make a video on it!

🙏🏼

Thank you Bro!!

I was thinking that, would need to get a longer cable though, my locks are designed for my road bike so can wrap around the skinny frame and wheels

The throttle feature is good but if you want maximum power it’s best in the highest pedal assist setting for up hill!

That’s a good price for that bike, I haven’t really looked around much at the folding e-bike market much but saw the Mate Icon has a 500 watt motor, but has 20inch wheel so will run faster, plus has rear and front suspension, and I do love having that rear suspension on the D2s. It’s just the mate is a very high price, but has really good parts on it. I’ll have a look around and keep you updated also feel free to send through any you find.

@@DanEscapes Thanks brother. Yeah the Air 3 looks good with the 350 watt motor. Appreciate the input & Stay Safe. oNe LovE from NYC

That’s not something I’ve looked at doing myself. In the UK it’s illegal to use the thumb throttle and has to be under a certain speed

Well the motor is pretty powerful so don't really need to change gear at all. Might be useful if you run out of battery and need to get up a hill.

If I can get a hold of one I will, slightly more expensive than the Fiido and a few kilograms heavier. The wheels look bigger though so might go abit faster.

If I can get hold of one will definitely do a review to compare it, the design looks pretty sleek but definitly the orange is a bit too much.

@@DanEscapes it's actually called Onebot S6 (the base model made from China). Swagtron Eb7 is basically an American re-brand, just as in the UK it's called MiRider One. I actually like the design and orange color, sort of looks like a wild cat in full stride on the hunt

@@hasan_z Thanks for this, I'll send them a message to see if they can lend me one. The orange and black reminds me of a McClaren car

Thank you Surya, really appreciate it 🙏🏻🙌🏼

I made a recent video (year on review) of the Fiido D2S and I mention about deactivating it. I think if you follow the cable from the throttle to where it goes into frame you can unplug it there. Let me know if you need any more details.

Yeah I’ve noticed already that they aren’t the best. Thanks for the warning. How you finding yours?

@@DanEscapes the break wire becomes loose after a few hours mabye I’m not tightening it in properly apart from that it’s great

That would be amazing!

Me 2 lol

I have no idea how to make it go faster. I know in other E bikes you can connect to the motor via a computer to unlimit them, but don't think the motor in this bike is as safisticated.

Do you mean 30 miles or 30 miles per hour speed? How you finding the MiRider?

@@DanEscapes sorry 30 mile range. The MiRider is pretty good. It’s probably a similar weight to your one, although MiRider have reduced the weight to around 16kg I believe.

@@marcandsebe that’s really good range!! Did you have it on the highest setting? That’s great they’ve lowered the weight, it does make the difference!

@@DanEscapes yes it was on full power assist. They have 5 levels. I know the frames are from China and used by other bike companies, but MiRider are continually improving their version. Customer service is excellent too.

Fiido D11 and D21 is not available to buy in UK. If you can not wait to ride an electric bike, Fiido D4S or D2S may be your choice.

Thanks Shane!! Really appreciate it, have been to Ireland for a long time and would love to go back explore the west coast!

This never crossed my mind when I came to reviewing this. I've been very lucky with my roadbike and never getting a puncture.

get the anti puncture gel

I've got a tiny dlock that works perfect on my vintage road bike. I'd have to invest ina longer chain/d lock

When we bought it was out of stock but took roughly three weeks, maybe slightly longer. We had to keep chasing them for updates!

They changed for a new version at some point. In this video i think it's the old version.

I had a look on their site and couldn’t see India on their list. Might be worth dropping them a message and seeing if they have any distributors out in India. Sorry if this doesn’t help! Let me know how you get on!

I’m 5ft 8

Green blinking light??

I haven't tried but I assume not as when you unfold it some prongs are exposed that looks like it connects to the battery and the back section is where you plug in and the battery is in the front section.

Any answer on this yet please?

Hey Daniel and Jon, Sorry it took a while I have checked and can confirm it does charge whilst in it’s folded from. The port is on the battery side when it folds!

@@jondoyle44 Hey Jon, I replied but you weren’t tagged! short story it does charge when folded!

@@DanEscapes This is weird though :)

From January 1 2016, the only throttles legal within the UK’s EAPC legislation are those that assist the rider without pedalling up to a maximum speed of 6 km/h (3.7 mph) - i.e. starting assistance only. If the motor is more powerful than 250W, or if it assists you when you’re riding more than 15.5 mph, then it will need to be registered, insured and taxed as a motor vehicle. In this case, you will also need a driving licence, and you must wear a motorcycle helmet. Hope this helps!

I will be making one learnt a few things over the time of riding it!

On this bike or bikes in general?

Couldn’t agree more!

Ok. Good luck getting this registered and insured. Let us know how you get on! 😄

Maybe because basically no one gives a toss, plod would almost certainly not be interested ect

@@kevindarkstar exactly

What happened? I’ve seen they are really cracking down on electric scooters. Is the fiido bikes on a list?

​@@DanEscapes Yes,it was taken away because pulling an arm on him may be the hilt ,vainly electric and drivable. They did not speak no problem for to two years. now that they have lost English football, they are looking for the faults ....It's my fault??

😭

I haven't personally tested it till it died. I've done about 12 miles on the highest setting and I still had half the battery left.

I can’t really say as never tried the D4s but I do love the rear suspension on the D2s, but the D4s has 20 inch wheel so will be faster and ride over bumps better. Sorry if that was not helpful!

i have both D4S it goes faster has longer range but is bigger

@@boredalchemist it is a lot bigger? and also If it is rain and I fold it ang go the rain on the bike during is folding can broke the battery ? it is still water resistant ?

@@ilariacherubini4619 they say its splash resistant but you cant take a hose pipe to it and its not that much bigger just slightly

@@boredalchemist what is the range of the d4s?

Thanks for this Graham, I thought it had to go over a certain speed. I've added a warning in the decription and pinned a comment to the UK audience making them aware.

@Bernard Coleslaw No of course not, unless their neighbourhood watch does it for me. We will wait until someone has an accident (should not take long) then confiscate the bike, take their driving license off them for 3 years & dump a £500 fine in their laps. Normally does the trick when idiots want to drive "mopeds" ( because that is what class they come under) without a license tax & insurance

Really appreciate it!!

That locks in the video?

@@DanEscapes yes, skilled lockpicker can pick it in seconds. an unskilled person with the right tools could cut it in under a minute or ramset it in one second if they know where to hit. there is no such thing as an impenetrable lock, the salesperson will tell you otherwise to make the sale. reality is that some are just more time-consuming than others. I just wanted to correct that. but otherwise thanks for the video and keep it up.

@@DanEscapes Especially the chain. it's nothing special at all. amazon brand boltcutters will do. provided that they are rated for the correct cutting diameter. In London, we put up with bike theft all the time. my motorbike here in London has been stolen in seconds and I was wearing much heavier duty locks than those. with much harder access for tools and several other layers of security towards tampering.

@@DanEscapes youtube this, ( Kryptonite’s “New-U” New York Fahgettaboudit Bike Lock Picked ) By the looks of it you have either this one or its predecessor. bare in mind that he is showing and telling you what he is doing and not seriously picking it. If show and tell takes him 2 minutes then imagine the real deal.

@@survivorchimp5554 wow that was easy. I have an old model so probably easy for them to pick it. I do also use an abus chain lock, But I’m looking at getting a system that is easier to carry. The hip locks maybe but will have to check that guys channel out .

Thank you for your feedback and will bare that in mind for future videos
