That one looks ever so slightly sped up, and the MPH speedo dial and KPH readings don't correspond. Ver ver suspicious.
I’m new to ebikes.

Whoa - check out 5s into the video: Flat against the wall. I'd be as dead travelling at 15mph, if a SUV/wall of metal hit me travelling in the opposite direction.
The spoke/ nipple angle is terrible , given time spokes will snap. It certainly looks like it has been laced/built by someone with little or no idea.
The chain length is easy to check , remove the chain from the derailleur and wrap it around the two largest gears . The ends should should meet and pass each othe rwhen pulled taut by 2 full links.

Looks like someone has tried to lace similarly to a motorbike wheel spoke pattern, except the nipples on the Fiido wheel are not angled for the spokes:

Hi guys,
This is an update. As you know, I had to send my Fiido X back because of a broken frame. Fiido’s service was good, they replaced it in good time. I had it checked over at my local bike shop except for actually turning the bike on, because I didn’t give them the code. Today I took it on my first foray into ebike cycling only to find that it won’t switch on!
Try as I might it wouldn’t work although the battery light was on. According to the instructions, I entered the code to no avail; then I noticed that, when the seat clamp is fully depressed, one side fully engages but, clearly, the other side does not. The display doesn’t light up and the motor doesn’t power the bike when cycling.
I am going to persist in trying to get it working but I have emailed Fiido. To cap it all, Vive Scooters went out of business while I was dealing with the first fault! I’ve left a message on their answering machine but I’m not hopeful. I am so disappointed, the bike looks good but it has problems.
Regards,
B1ll.

So they sold you a broken bike, replaced it with a deranged bike, and self-destructed? Have you approached Fiido directly, or have you just been dealing with this utterly useless shop? Did they give you a Fiido warranty card? (It might not matter).

I hope you can find some way to sort out this disgusting situation. Perhaps try to get your money back through your bank or credit card company?

Hi, It’s a few months since my last reply. Sorry but tonight is my first ride this year! A lovely evening in Blackpool. My Fiido X is working fine. It’s so long since I started it up that I needed to watch the startup video on YouTube! I’ve just been up the two steepest hills while seated and in the first setting; my legs felt the burn!
I’ve lost 2 stones since Christmas, so that’s 3 altogether. I hope I can lose a bit more with my bike and diet.
I’ve tried to post a video with this but I have forgotten how!
I’ll post again soon. Thanks for all your posts advising me.
Regards,
Bill.
Well done! I too have lost about 3 stones and it feels great! I managed it over a couple of years, your losing 2 stones since Christmas is amazing. This final 3/4 stone is proving to be very stubborn, but I'll get there...
Well done you guys on shedding the 'stones' and including cycling in the regime is such a nice way to do this - providing of course that the 'coffee and cake' stops are under control .
Been out myself today with a friend - such a lovely day and managed TWO coffee/cake stops!!!

I wish that were true for me, but it's intermittent fasting and slow jogging which made me thin! My ebike made me fatter! But that's because of the way I use it and have set it up - it's pretty much a throttle-less moped... turn the pedals a bit and my bike rapidly accelerates to 15.5mph and keeps me there, to deliver me to work sweat-free many miles later, which is what it's for. I'm assembling an acoustic bike for pursuing fitness... but I'll probably end up electrifying that too!
Nah, you need to slow jog or long walk!i think i need a new hip tho
‘Cycling on the road causes a decline in bone density’ - study
The lack of impact placed on the bones during ordinary cycling reduces bone density, especially in the hip area.

I do end up having to jump off pavements sometimes - no shock absorbers of any sort, and my Dahon folding bike hasn't broken yet!
