Like I said, once you go Fat you don't go back 😏 Check out the ebike here 👉🏻uk.banggood.com/custlink/Kvmy8KwY7F Side note: I'm a big fan of this bike, it would be a great all weather (Covid-free) commute to work or for blasting up and down trails in the country. The pedal assist can be a little punchy at times, so I ended up using the throttle most of the time!
looks remarkably like the Mate X bike. You will want a cover for the battery key as gets gummed up. Plus if you ride in rain you will want mudguards as the 4 inch tyre throw up a lot of water.
@@pheona1000 made mine from a milk bottle top. just cut a small slot in bottle cap and push key into slot. It's a crude but very effective at stopping mud and grit getting into the battery lock.
My 250w Fiido M1 Goes 32kph full battery do I have a factory error in my favour then? It easily goes 28kph majority of the time & 22kph on low battery, I really love it I can't lie it's my step between a bicycle and a Sur Ron, I had to put mud guards because it kicks up alot with the fat tyres I recommend it 100 percent. I paid around seven hundred
Hey Ben, your reviews are really cool! Funny! These bikes are all the same.... they change the stickers but all the rest is still the same :) I am very happy and with these folding bikes quality so far. Mine is 750W and it pushes really fast!
personal experience don't use it without the mudguards and even then I'v ordered some flaps for them as it still splashes up, and bin the rear shocker no good for anything bought one from Amazon dito the brake calipers bought some cheapish cable hydraulic ones ,again from Amazon as the standard ones required constant adjustment to stop them squealing or catching all the time otherwise it's been great fun.
Glad you're back Ben!!! Finally?... kidding, hope all is well. Your videos are always fun and engaging. Ever consider reviewing the Apollo scooters? I have an Explore coming monday... I can't wait!
Nice channel. One question. Budget 2k. Ride - London commuting 90%. 10% - grass;). Problem- sciatica, lover back. What you can recommend? No idea what to buy what style shape etc.
Hey.. I sold my kaabo to get a bicycle for this exact reason.. I got a prolapsed disk and sciatica so I have to be extra mobile. 2k budget is alot for foldable ebike. 1k maybe then you'll want to spend on good suspension and a comfy seat with a back.
Been riding my Fiido M1 Pro for a few weeks now, its a pretty nice fat bike, i'm loving the cushion the fat tires give but I had to change the seat as the stock one isn't any good and upgraded the brakes to hydraulic ones. Its quite heavy and big but its a pro for me so I don't get bullied on the road and motorists give me ample space. Contemplating on getting a rack and probably the rear shocks as well. As for the bike its fun to use sure its not the prettiest to look at or smallest most aerodynamic but using it as a commuter bike I rarely have issues going over most terrain from perfect roads to abyssmal numerous potholes to dirt roads filled with rocks. Kept the tires psi at about 20-25 for a softer ride. 25mph may seem slow but its an ebike not a scooter, the thumb throttle is a nice addition but the bike is still meant to be pedaled especially for steeper inclines. Also bought an Eahora X7 which is spec per spec the same as the M1 Pro, I will test this one out to see if the experience is nearly the same with the Fiido. Cheers mate, hoping to see more awesome content stay safe and healthy Ben!
@@niekvanderkam Same here. And on the road you get more respect and consideration from other drivers and cyclists. Because the M1 PRO is built like a tank. And looks like it can go through a wall. Its AWESOME.
Might actually pick this up, I like cycling in the forest every once in a while and need something I can take in my small car. But this looks nice man!
Hey Ben, thanks for the review! Was wondering, do you feel that the pedal assist is overpowering or does it come gradually? Is it possible to reach 30km/h using the pedal assist (no throttle) and not look ridiculous/obvious from the side? I'm asking because i live in Netherlands and it's illegal to use the throttle here as far as i know. Thanks!
@@joshibet i don't know why you're convincing me, i have an e-bike and use the throttle as well 😂 I just pedal as well so i don't look obvious. Do as you wish 😉
@@eladguitar It's a total meme law. It cant be enforced. If I was ever stopped. I would take them to court for IGNORING the thousands of delivery drivers flying around london on souped up ebikes. I once spoke to one who had a 1000w motor on his bike. And could hit a top speed of 32 miles an hour. So I dont wanna hear anything about legal or illegal. Until these riders are addressed. There should be a SPEED LIMIT. for all vehicles..and that speed limit should be 25mph. Anyone who needs to go faster than 25mph off a motorway has a problem regardless if it's on a push bike or ebike motorbike car whatever. 25mph should be the universal speed limit. Off of a motor way. Alot of lives would be saved each year if it was.
Really like this bike, seems good value(about 900 quid at the moment) and decent quality. But it's illegal, 500 watts and twist throttle.. I'd be the one to get nicked! Bye the way, can the Speedo be changed somehow to read mph?
nice. I bought a bike with a 1000w motor and a 700Wh battery based on same parts bin and geometry just a bit bigger and heavier, with hydraulic brakes. in November (I am considerable larger than you...) it didn't stop me wiping on icy track by the Sheepmount today though. overall great for allround stuff. I hope to take mine camping next summer
Which bike did you get? There are so many it’s hard to know which ones are worth looking at. I am 106kg and tall so I need a strong powerful urban bike. Thanks
@@jonathonbuttery2041 I got the Gunai (Amazon special...) Am over 130 kgs, as long as your inside leg is over 29 inches, I can recommend. I have warned out the rear tyre after 1000 miles, and gone though a set of brakes, but that is it.
This is still the best fat tyre ebike for the MONEY. To get better you have to pay more theres no getting away from it. In the sub £1000 market. You have three main contenders. ADO A20F FIIDO M1 PRO ENGWE PRO 2 Out of those three the M1 PRO comes out on top.
Thanks for the video Ben! I always get entertained watching whatever you are doing. I wanted to pick-up an e-bike to have something that you can also pedal and get exercise with. Instead I just get my cardio elsewhere and ride my power scooters and EUCs :)
You know what, Its nice to have the option of both! Its weird as soon as I come off the bike I love my scooter more but then, you cant beat a bike since thats like the first thing you ride since your little.
@@BenFox01 Agreed! I just prefer something I can store more easily in my limited garage space. I had an e-bike a few years back that I enjoyed but eventually gave to a friend.
Best review of this bike on RU-vid! Do you happen to know what the weight is with battery removed? Also, if you 'unlock' the settings, can you change it back to 'factory' settings? One last question, you mentioned the flimsyness of the throttle - is it fairly easy to replace this part with a more 'substantial' one?
Thank you! So funnily enough Im going to see if I can put it back into Factory mode to save on juice! I would assume its possible... Weight wise, sorry not without scales! A fair bit lighter as the battery is pretty sizable. Yes the throttle is a little flimsy for my liking. Amazing bike though :) Check link below!
I have the fiido d3s and wanted to get this pro but ended up building a 1000w full suspension mountain bike much cheaper and love it. Still fancy this as a option for putting in the car for holidays etc.
Nice video! I got a question for you: I owned a Xiaomi Himo C20 bike and it had the same display on the steering wheel. This Xiaomi only gave pedal assist up to 16km/h. If you wanted to go 25km/h you always had to use the throttle. Is this the same for this bike or does it pedal assist up to 25km/h? Thanks in advance and keep it up!
Hey Ben I got the fido m1 with the 250 motor and it say 36 v 250 watts is the battery a 48 or is it 36 they said it's a 48 I never opened it do you know what it is.
me also, after his reviewed bought D2 , a little bit modifications, extra batery and after 7000km, still using D2, super bike, still in very good condicious :)
After watching so many boring amateur reviews it's lovely to watch a highly engaging and intelligent and informative review of this bike, thanks Ben. One question, having unlocked the full potential of the bike, can you re-lock it for use on UK roads and cycle paths? Does it revert to locked when you switch it off?
That’s very kind Nick! And funnily enough I’ve been meaning to do the same (relock it for more battery less power) but haven’t got round to it! I assume you can! Let me know if you figure it out… perhaps reach out to Fiido
@@BenFox01 Thanks for the reply Ben, I don't have this Fiido yet, they seem to be out of stock in most places. I bet they quickly sold out after you posted your review!
His review pretty much sold me on the bike hopefully next week it's Fiido riding time! Going to get it for work/play commute and reduce the number of times catching public transport during the week! Great review full of colour and wearing the same yellow anorak I rock!
07:57 1st time seeing Ben Fox flipping us users off! 🤣🚲 Anyway, the fat tyre bike is definitely comfortable on riding all sorts of terrains and no annoying punctures! Happy New Year Ben! 😁🎉
Is there a bike rack for this model? My husband is buying on and he'd like to take it camping and would like to add a bike rack but we cant find one or if it can handle one?
I know this comment is a month old but as it got no replies, you can try www.markshop.co.uk/. They are a UK-based seller and you can pick up from London or Bath, or have it delivered to you in the UK.
I have the m1 250w version I love it a little cheaper at about £750. Oh I I have seen 37.1 kph on my gps unlocked in 3rd gear so in gear 7 should get even more .
Still feels strange seeing Carlisle on RU-vid 🤣 I got the Engwe EP-2, pretty much exactly the same bike but without rear suspension and a different display 👍
great looking bike, would not want to ride that around london though, be to paranoid about this getting stolen, i went with the d4s because it looks like a normal bike.
Great video Ben I recently got a 50mph 1600w peak ebike it’s incredible but I need even more power 😂😂😂😂 being me let me know if you think I should get it set up for 3250w that would be crazy I want to get it to 60 soon 🤩
@@BenFox01 haha great idea Ben thanks for the reply it’s a sleeper bike by the way so it looks completely standard like a 250w legal ebike but it is capable of over taking 2 mopeds and a dirt bike on a road standard believe me I have tried that and won 😂
Nice bike but completely illegal in the UK. Even if you didn't engage the throttle it would still be illegal because it's 500 watts 250 watts is the legal limit for bikes in the UK.
Was it 500w version? I can't get it anywhere for that price. It's m1 250w that I can find for around £800, which is not what I want to pay for a smaller motor..
@@arturdobrzynski6531 They are £794 on Fiido website at moment but no UK stock unfortuantly however they got the new M21 model which you can pre-order and they sart shipping these end this month.
All good I’m pleased to report! Honestly I don’t use it much as I’m still more scooter dude (actually I don’t get out the house enough 😂) ironically I may be selling it- hit me up on insta if your in the UK! but I’m pleased to say it’s A-OK! Link below :)
@@BenFox01 wish I’d known that earlier I’ve just bought a new one tonight off off the fiido site came to just under 930 delivered Ben but if you can let me know the price I’d be interested in another for my daughter I’m up near Newcastle
My back brake has given up after 6 months but probably cause would travel at around 28mph then slam brakes on at the light's. Will get bike shop to look at it and get better brake pads.
Looks like a really useful bit of kit for inner city commuting, I can imagine it would be a great mountain bike with that hill performance 😂 either way looks like a cracking bit of kit 💪🦊 awesome review Ben, looks like it was a pretty cold day 😩❄️
Aah... The betrayer strikes again. In order to win me back I would like a review of the Inokim Quick 4 (you never did the Light 2 as well!) PS, these were empty threats, I clicked like as usual.
Fiido's pedal assist is the worst I've ever seen! It's not pedal assist actually, it just detects that you are pedaling (after quite some time actually because it's very slow) and it just gives full power!! no matter what assist gear/mode you 're on.. assist gears/modes only define different cut-off speeds for the motor so it stops when you reach that speed.. just awful!
@@BenFox01 actually reading it back again Fat Lot of fun sounds negative, not intended, does actually look like fun, if only I could get to some trails #LockedDown . stay safe Ben 💪
Yeah but police not bothered Bunch of teenagers were on an electric scooter and it went past a police van with 2 officers. E scooters are illegal unless part of government program so they should of stopped them. Most officers got bigger fish to fry though. also they can't prove you weren't pedalling unless you right next to them at a traffic light.
