Member @Deno at 6'3" rode his dads D21, which is the same bike but with a Torque Sensor instead of a Cadence sensor. His comments are here. I think fit is very much a personal thing. I'm 5'10" and added a riser bar to increase handlebar height and reach to suit my own fit/preference. If you...

So would I, as other makers do on a regular seat-post clamp. I checked Fiido's website; they used to have a FAQ page which gave the "wet use" advice I mentioned above... but I see that page is now gone.

Hi Mark The link you've given in your post says that battery has a "Smart BMS with Sleep Mode". Sleep Mode is where the battery shuts itself down after an hour or so to save energy. The usual way to wake it back up is to hold the power button down for a few seconds - sometimes up to 10 or 20...

Clear nail varnish works well. None of my own bikes have ever shown any signs of rust anywhere. I do quickly towel off the worst if I get caught out in the rain, and I do keep them inside warm and dry.

IIRC, Fiido's general advice is similar to most: Don't use a pressure washer to clean the bike, and don't wade in water where the motor could be submerged... although the X does have that electronic keypad lock behind the seat-post which might be more susceptible to heavy rain / water ingress...

That the missing bit was in the box suggests it might be impact damage whilst in transit. That's apparently what happened with the snapped frame bike. Who was the carrier? Was there damage to the box? I know these cast Magnesium Alloy frames look good, but the added weight and these impact...

The display and controller usually need to be a matched pair to work (communicate) with each other. Was it a complete kit you bought, or were you mixing components from different sources?

@martinedcense Looking through all your posts, you seem to be making a regular habit of simply cutting and pasting other members comments rather than adding any of your own, this being mine made in post #3. Reported as spamming.

1} The price on fiido.com is the price you pay inc. delivery from Fiido's UK warehouse. The exchange rate updates daily according to the US$. There are promotions and discounts every now and then. 2) What hills it will tackle is down to how much effort you're able or prepared to put in. Tourney...

Bob Jones is credited with drawing this helpful diagram that shows basic older e-bike wiring (without a display). What Neal is saying is that "unsensored" means you don't have the "signal wires" shown here, just the "power wires"... but you still need a controller.

It's still live. If you want help, you'll have to give us some clues. I haven't heard - and I doubt many others here - will have heard of the brand. Many Chinese factories churn out "fodder" e-bikes in high quantity, which several entrepreneurial types will brand with a name of their choosing...

I don't think Litepro are pretending to be anything other than Chinese. They make a range of bikes and accessories, of which this Brompton "copy" is just one: It has a couple of changes/improvements (note the wheels don't clash as they do on a Brompton) while being half the price. This guy has...

Not that I've ever seen, heard or read. The known issues with Fiido's D11/21 are slipping seat-post and loose wheel spokes - both easy adjustments - and on a batch of 185 (mine included) where battery caps became loose - a warranty claim. If you're inclined towards a Brompton, there's the...

This has been asked before. The Crosscity has been around a number of years. So too has the display, now available in IIRC 8 or 9 different versions that all look broadly the same, but the way they each communicate with the controller differs. If your display is broken, your best bet is to...

Just to update this thread since things have moved on a little (for anyone coming back here)... I know @matthewslack has since developed a really good mobile solar trailer for his extended cycle tours, and continues to develop that... For my own part, I did say to hell with the cost, and...

This is an argument I've had with my Doctor. Like the OP's Gym, my Doctor promotes fitness by encouraging excercise such as walking or cycling... yet my GP has nowhere to safely lock up my bike, so I drive instead. Surely such places should have a secure compound or locker where someone keen to...

@Bonzo Banana For the most part, I don't disagree with you. However, Fiido have demonstrated a measure of honour and integrity that simply doesn't often exist - even with European manufacturers. That's why I bought one. IMHO, Fiido's failing here - as is common with many manufacturers rushing...

One rotation of a wheel is one rotation and therefore one pulse to the controller- whatever the wheel size. What you're missing is that the controller is already set for the wheel circumference to determine the distance travelled and also gauge the speed. A common trick on many low-cost e-bikes...

The maximum load on the Fiido X is stated to be 120kg. That wasn't the issue here. It was an early production model: The rider was light, the bike had done no more than 50km, and it snapped in two riding smooth paving. I had a brief exchange with the guy whose bike it was after he'd posted his...

It'll likely be fine in moderate rain, but if you're worried put a plastic bag over it. Keep the battery indoors (and the bike too if possible) where it's warm so any residual moisture dries out after being used in the wet. The fitted covers you sometimes see for e-bike batteries are mostly...
