Today we test out the new fiido t1 cargo ebike. This bike is built for hauling cargo around town, but I wanted to see exactly what this bike was capable of. Product link: bit.ly/3MFTcUk PayPal tip jar - www.paypal.com...
This is one of my favorite things about commuting on an ebike, going to and returning from work I take different routes, different neighborhood, and go on and off road. Really adds variety vs sleep driving into work during the morning commute.
Today was a first. I took my ebike to work (the one shown in my picture) and I have your inspiration to thank. 26 miles one way and in about 2 hours, a return trip back to my house. 2 48V batteries, only used one to get to work, but brought the other just in case. I mounted motorcycle hard saddle bags on the rear rack for storing the 2nd battery and 2 locks with chain. Hopefully I don't get wet going home, but the saddle bag has my rain coat as well.
I can see myself in the future having several EVs. With the amount of money I'm saving doing away with a car the future looks great for transportation. Thanks a bunch for your in depth reviews.
Same bro, I'm even looking into investing into 1 of those Pebl bikes cause 13g isn't really that much when you realize that with 10 year financing that's just a car payment without registration, insurance, gas, and all the other expenses of having a car
I bought this bike and absolutely love it!!! I am 6’7” and weigh 265lbs and it pulls me around without any problems. The seat height and handle bars easily accommodate my height. I haven’t tested the battery duration but it will reach 30mph when pedaling. I would highly recommend for larger riders!!!
I just bought one waiting for t to arrive, I saw the seats available on their website. Thanks for the review it helped me realize even more that I bought the right bike!
I have this bike and I love its feel. Its a better hill climber than the MX02S. The saddle and suspension post are both available on the Fiido site - Accessories--> T1. As are all the parts, including the Mag wheels and cool front light. The new upgraded display has a odometer. I upgraded my bike by installing a central console box directly from the Rad Runner. It fitted perfectly - just needed 2 small holes in the plastic. Its a good addition too for carrying stuff like locks etc. For the money I can't get over how good the T1 is. I am installing the battery (17AH) from the MX02S as its over 6 pounds lighter. I will be able to slide it into the same slot and manually click in the connector. This should be a good addition being lighter. A bit like an electric car - you don't always need to be hauling round a large heavy battery.
@@ReVolt_e-Vlogs I am not on Facebook. I have a video anout the Central console on the Fiido T1- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-2k_IztmKdTE.html - The Radrunner one is perfect fit except you need to make 2 holes in the plastic. You don't even need a drill, a small screwdriver did it for me. The two cup holder things are the problem. I think I will blank it off with a nice logoed plate and cut out the plastic mouldings. Its practical for storage. I use it for keeping locks and related gear.
I'd use it for heavyweight bikepacking - when you want to do a bit of offroad, and camp in the wild with some comforts and a heavier tent (with maybe a woodstove).
In my town E-bike just recently got popular since the spring. Been researching E-bikes since the beginning of the year. Been riding for a week now and cannot wait till the weather cools to really see what this bike is made of.
@NPLVentures, I appreciate your videos. Especially about this fiido T1, as it is the very first ebike I've ever had now for 4 months. This hits every mark I wanted it to for the price. (I was comparing to radrunner). More everything for your buck. Of course, I removed the front basket so I could mount the headlight higher, since I ride home from work at night. (I have since just zip tied a metal picnic basket on the back rack for now until I figure what real storage I need). For me, this T1 hauls ass. I've learned to respect it since I crashed it at full speed already and bent my fork. Got my new fork in a week ago. (Shhh, I rode it for two weeks while waiting for a new fork from fiido. I know, don't ride with a bent fork!) The bike is solid. I can't imagine modifying it the way you do with your other bikes. I took it on the beach once, and it did just fine on the hard pack sand. Otherwise, I'm mainly on surface streets. Can't wait to figure out the actual range of this thing on highest pedal assist, since that's what I enjoy most. Round trip to work is 10 miles at most. Love the speed, love the comfort, love the headlight and taillight, love the rack. The only complaint I have is the display, like everyone else, oh and the headlight is aimed a little low if you keep the front basket on. Oh, and the brakes squeal like crazy from day 1. For a short fat guy, this has been the best investment I've made in years, and now I want to own more ebikes. Maybe one day, with the money I'm saving not paying for gas, I can buy one of NPL Ventures tricked out bikes, although I'm probably too fat for a folding bike. As a disclaimer, I don't work for any ebike company, and I bought T1 from electricbikeparadise, and they discounted it, and threw in a free phone holder and helmet, which probably saved my life already. I'm just happy to be in this ebike world, and even more happy I bought it just before gas prices skyrocketed. T1 is and will be my daily commuter for the foreseeable future. Ride safe everybody!
I've been riding my t1 hard town and country off road for 4 months and giving it some real hard abuse. its a strong bike. however fiido emailed me to say they are sending me and upgraded version of the t1. they claim my bike was a batch made with a frame design flaw so hence the free upgrade with hydraulic breaks, upgraded power controller and lower seat high adjudgment plus a reinforced frame so an improved t1 all round.
I think the bike has enough power, and doesn't need further weight. I'd like to see it with hydraulic disc breaks, a much better screen, tweaks to the cruise control to give rider more control over when and how power kicks in, and perhaps reduce the weight of the front basket (which looks overbuilt). Add to that some after-market accessories: decent waterproof panniers, a long rear rack box, and a frame box / bag, and I'd be very pleased with the bike. I think I will wait for the F2 in hope.
I have the Rad Runner, which is the bike this 1 is modeled after, and I plan on getting a 2nd hub motor at some point after I upgrade the Battery and everything else.
The bike I am looking for needs to climb very steep hills, support heavy riders, I am now 270 lbs, was 320 lbs in recent past and able to carry cargo. I believe this bike can do everything I want, want to buy an ebike for next Spring 2023.
Wish I had a to and from type job..be fun to create an awesome new trail thru woods little by little making switchbacks, wheelie sections, ramps..Tear it up on the way home. Full suspension 2 mil volt rippa.
Because of the need for the flip function on the seat I doubt you could add a different seat. Also because of the needed height for the under-seat battery only long legged people can ride it.
I have the same Bike. I did a few changes one is the seat then hand grips. Other than that. Runs great. I have the old one. With the 750 watt motor. It moves. I,ll keep my old bike.
yes it's a fiido seat because I have it on my mid-drive mountain now I wondered what bike that seat came off but im sure i got the same seat of my electric Chinese koogo scooter as well 😅😅
I bought an expensive "better" seat & returned it the same day, I don't think you can improve upon the seat, but a zoom seatpost is a good upgrade for a cheap better seat post
I like the look of that bike nice colour and looks real strong , front and back baskets and that big light is great , I think yous are way ahead of the UK in ebikes , trying to get a bike in the UK for going on and off road ,must have racks like that and the light for night ,will be on hills alot with working around farm so must be robust, what would you recommend? I do like the look of that bike ,thanks for the video
As a personal opinion I don't like the monitor. Not a knock on the bike I just like a larger center screen so I can just glance down and get whatever information I want. I do like two motors in fact I'm trying to decide rather to get one myself. The bike I'm currently looking at pending a flight to Brisbane to see it first hand and test ride will decide what I do. We don't have much of a local selection near me. However it's fairly similar to the bike you are testing biggest differences a large center screen and dual shocks on the rear. The seat is kinda close but I think your bike has more cushion.
Hi, great video and thanks for all the tips. I bought as well this bike for my wife, she is very happy about it however, I'm looking for foot peg that would be compatible with it. With the rear hub it's not easy as you have the cable. Any ideas?
the seat what came on the mountain bike wasn't my cup of tea so I tried a bunch of wide seats but they didn't feel write then I saw this in the back of my junk room and as soon as I put it on I was a happy man again the other seats I tried out were wider and bigger so yes all is good o it was £12 on Aliexpess 😀 😅
Be careful don't bought these bike, this is not a suitable winter bike. There is a weak spot under the battery for water to enter easily. I have the same bike and it actually broke down. I hope the manufacturer will look into this issue. If they put a little silicone in the holes, the problem will be solved. It is a catastrophic weakness.
The smaller the wheel the less distance you can travel. It's the same as the gearing. The smaller the pinion the more torque. But less distance you will travel. To make it simple. Take that small wheel. Now take that small wheel and roll it one complete turn. Next take a 26" or 29" wheel and roll them one complete turn. Look at the difference in how far the bigger wheels went. You may have more torque but will travel a shorter distance. But the bigger wheels still can get more torque thru gearing. But the smaller wheel cannot catch up the difference distance. There's always someone smarter. And I maybe be wrong?
@@Airbrushkid That's why this bike does not compete with MTBs but is great for mixed commute, which is what they made it for. Also, larger wheel takes more energy to spin. There is no free lunch.
