This bike genuinely surprised me. I wasn't expecting much, but I have been really enjoying this bike.
It was provided to us by Fiido.com . They saw our last eBike video and reached out saying, 'we have something you will like'. I have really enjoyed commuting and getting chores done in town with this bike.
The bike in the video is called the C21. Right now they have a sale on for Green Day.
fiido.com/fiido-green-day and you can get a further discount by using the code MCW5 between 6th July 2023 and 13th July 2023
The bike was supplied to us to keep, but we have not accepted any payment, we reviewed this strictly on the understanding that the free bike would be no guarantee of a positive review.
This bike has genuinely changed my opinion on how we will be integrating eBike into our lives more and more. Prices are coming down, weight is coming down, speeds are increasing, and councils and governments are hopefully going to have to start providing proper infrastructure too.

If it gets people out of cars, great. If it gets people out in the air for a bit of exercise, great. The more people on bikes the better 👍

@Mapdec Год назад

I think that’s where I’m at. I’ve honestly really got into this for just getting places fast.

@gregbyrne7725 Год назад

Another helpful video, an option for an additional battery to extend the range for longer days, something that slots into a bottle cage or similar would be good but nice that it looks more like a real bicycle.

The trek Domane+ LT, with the fazua motor did it for me. Got relatively in to shape. Now purchased a Wilier without assistence and going to do the Sella Ronda in september.

that is a really nice looking bike. not gonna lie. i checked this out earlier and saw the step through version and that one looks even better. the only downside is that they only come in dark grey and green. would definitely love a white or navy blue version. 🤔

Interesting bike, nice review and great charity❤ (Btw, little typo - optimism)

@Mapdec Год назад

Thanks for that!

@johnpoyntzfoxsmale Год назад

Great video Paul, I agree that there needs to be more designs like this on the UK market rather than just the heavy models that dominante the choice currently. My dream is a rigid fork, flat bar, 500w battery with built in rack, mudguards and lights. Perfect for hilly Lake District commuting. I've clocked up 15,000 Kms on my cube Katmandu in three years and love it, mostly commuting, but it's just too heavy and big to manhandle in and out of the shed!

@Mapdec Год назад

Thank you. Seems designs are evolving fast

@papalegba6796 9 месяцев назад

Check out the Whyte Clifton, good bike & lighter than your cube but a touch less powerful. There's no escaping the weight issue imo, if you want good range & good climbing ability you must have a mid drive motor & a big battery. I've tried lighter hub motor bikes & they cannot cope with my hilly commute. Bosch performance line motor & 500 watt battery is minimum spec I need.

@alfredstimoli2590 Месяц назад

Nice looking bike. Any idea what would be the largest tire size that would fit?

@valmorell Год назад

There is a fair bit of criticism toward ebikes, but it's mostly because they are taken out of context. This little bike has a use case and you defined it perfectly thanks. BTW ,I am realistic to know there is an ebike somewhere in my own future. Just not quite yet...

@Mapdec Год назад

That was my thoughts. Since having this, I have hardly touched the car. Grocery shopping, meetings, banking, hair cuts etc. It’s been really good fun just getting places faster.

@SiliconEngineer Год назад

Stealth paint and tan sidewall are all the rage, and the components also look solid for the price. Sadly though, this bike doesn't have enough juice to even properly get out of the office parking lot here in 'murica 😥

@janeblogs324 Год назад

Great for being invisible too.

@hugothompson3709 10 месяцев назад

Great review. Do you know if the main battery has to go flat before you can take a charge from the range extender? Would be great if u could select that the range extender gets used first, so I can charge it when I get to work. Also is the screen easily removable (knicked)?

@Mapdec 10 месяцев назад

Hey. I didn’t have the range extender. The screen i has was screwed on.

@GNX157 Год назад

If the shifter cable is sensitive with those few gears I’d bet the mech hanger is misaligned, new bike or not. Worth checking.

@Mapdec Год назад

It’s the barrel adjuster. I would it all in and put an inline adjuster in near the shifter. Good shout though

@hannesschutt5313 2 месяца назад

Nice Bike and a nice video, greetings from Germany. What is the range in everyday life with that Fiido?

@frogname1149 2 месяца назад

Hi, great informative video. Curious to hear how the bike goes without switching on the motor (1)? Does it feel like a normal bike or is there some resistence?

@Mapdec 2 месяца назад

It’s a heavy bike with hard gears without the motor.

@jackiegammon2065 Год назад

Ebikes have certainly changed many lives, but I'm not sure whether that is good or not. All I see is folks using them as Mopeds and not pedaling at all, and that includes younger folks as well. I'm sure some are convinced that are great for recovery, and perhaps they are. But, I do not see them helping the bike industry at all, sure shops have done well with them from a financial standpoint... but it seems to me that it is simply a fsd. I certainly would like to see the Bike Industry get behind something that would encourage lots of folks to get outside and pedal, and especially our younger generations. Hopefully someone will come with a great idea and that all of us can get behind and folks would be excited to use.

@Mapdec Год назад

That aside it just helps stop the endless pursuit of car ownership clogging up the world. This little bike is usually faster than the car. And defo faster when you factor parking time.

@jackiegammon2065 Год назад

You're right about that, and it is helpful for transportation. However, in rural parts of the world that isn't as much of an issue .

@Infinitas-vj4sz 21 час назад

Good day, I received my Fiido C21 Pro today, unboxing and assembly was completed with the help of the Fiido video. the fenders were a little trickly and fiddly. Just 2 questions. 1. can you tell me if there is a way to check my C21 frame is medium or large, it feels large as I can only just stand up straddling the crossbar, the order stated clearly M. 2. When using the cycle for the first time I was expecting to see assist levels 0,1,2,3,4,5. But see eco, normal, sport, turbo, turbo+ and rocket modes, has this replaced the assist modes that I saw when looking at various videos on youtube including yours which was one reason why I chose this e-bike.

@ebikescrapper3925 Год назад

Fit Gaadi inner tube to the back wheel, saves you taking the wheel off.

@Mapdec Год назад

I think that’s what I’ll do instead of tyres. Might do a vid. It’s cool tech

@ebikescrapper3925 Год назад

Gaadi inner tubes are one long inner tube sealed at both ends. It means when fixing a puncture you don't need to remove the wheel

@ebikescrapper3925 Год назад

Can you get the battery recelled or will it damage the BMS. How much is a new battery?

@Mapdec Год назад

Batteries on their website. The are sealed into an alu case with screws so recell looks possible.

@BennoSattler Год назад

Digging the content, still! The volume of the outtro music could be levelled in to the speech before, jumping out of my seat every time. This seems to be a trend recently on more channels - not keeping the audio levels within (its own, at least) range. Might jump on to the trend then, and blast some membranes as well 😂

Sorry. That was my fault. I’ll get the hang of it one day.

@neilrobinson7965 Год назад

@@Mapdec I would say a BMC Roadmachine AMP or anything with a Mahle X20 hub drive but that is 250w. I own the Roadmachine AMP and it is very good for long, hilly rides. my longest ride with it so far is 165 km with 2500m height gain and I still had 65% of main battery left (also used range extender battery). It is only really assisting on hills though so like any 25 km/h Ebike, motor pacing roadie friends is probably off the agenda. You'll need a 45km/h one for that!

Governments need to be building cycling infrasture regardless of e-bikes or regular push bikes. Cycling is getting way more dangerous in my view because of the idiots out there on the roads- on there phones. Ive cycled to work for 11 years. But ive had more close calls in the last 2 than in all the other years combined. Then 6 months ago I was hit by a car at 60 mph cycling to work. I broke my neck, my shoulder, my rotator cuff and degloved my right calf. The guy was an absolute idiot and hopefully getting prosecuted. Im on my road to recovery. But I see it the duty of Governments to protect all cyclists whether e-bikes or conventional bikes by building better infrastructure for both

@GNX157 Год назад

I’m glad you can only go 20. I’m already tired of people who barely know how to ride, going out and buying 28 mph models both with and without pedal requirements, then showing up on the bike path and riding (no helmets) with much slower ppl and having no clue of proper riding manners. I also don’t support e-bikes riding with all natural riders on fast group rides. Go start your own e-bike only group ride. I’ll have one eventually but I’ll be riding it with other fast riders on 28mph pedal assist road models, everyone on equal ground.

I hate E-Bikes. It makes lovely places ugly, because masses of lazy people can reach these places now. Lazy people behave worse than others. E.G., riding side by side not caring when there is oncoming traffic, no, they won´t move.They are as bad as SUV drivers.

@robday1976 Год назад

A group of fat men on overpriced carbon framed aero bikes can make lovely places ugly. You’re missing the point of this bike. It’s to get lazy people out of their SUV and commute to their place of work which will probably not be lovely place, without arriving there out of breath and sweating. Then when they get fitter they can buy an overpriced carbon frame and make lovely places ugly like the rest of the weekend warrior brigade.

@captainbungee Год назад

Well that's one way of looking at it. I ride a road bike and an ebike, which I built for commuting. I can do 40 miles comfortably on the "good bike" or I can do 70 on the ebike and take in some big hills on the way. Either way by the time you get home, you know you've had the exercise. Having conquered a few hills on the ebike, I'm now trying to achieve the same goals on the road bike. People who say its not cycling need to try one - Until you do, then it's just pontification.
