Fiido Electric Bikes

Fiido has built its reputation on doing one thing well: putting lightweight, decently specced electric bikes in front of UK riders for less than the high street charges. The brand sells direct through its UK store and a handful of retailers. That keeps prices down. Its range leans heavily towards folders and city bikes rather than full-fat mountain or cargo machines. The headline acts are the D11 folder and the remarkable carbon-fibre Air. The wider line-up covers step-through commuters, fat-tyre folders and budget minis too.

This guide pulls together the Fiido models worth knowing about in the UK. Every verdict is honest and based on manufacturer specifications, owner feedback and how each bike compares on value. Prices at this end of the market move often. Use the price links for the live figure rather than treating ours as fixed.

Is Fiido a good brand?

Fiido sits in the value tier of the e-bike market alongside names like Engwe, Eskute and ADO. It is a direct-to-consumer brand. That is the source of both its strengths and its weaknesses. You get specs that punch above the price on the plus side. That means light frames and removable batteries on most models. The Air and D11 add a torque sensor too. That gives a more natural ride than the cheap cadence sensors common at this money. The downside is real too. You do not get a high-street shop to lean on. Range claims are optimistic. The 250W motors are sensible rather than punchy on steep climbs.

Fiido is a genuinely strong choice for flat-to-rolling UK cities and commutes. A Halfords-stocked Carrera or a premium brand may suit you better if you live somewhere very hilly or want a bike you can have serviced in person.

• Claimed range is optimistic, expect 35 to 50 miles

Our verdict: The best-balanced Fiido: a genuinely portable folder with a removable battery and real-world usability for the money.

Check price

The D11 is the bike most people mean when they talk about Fiido. It is a 20-inch folder weighing around 19.5kg. The clever part is the removable battery built into the seat post: pop it out and the bike drops to about 13.5kg. That makes lifting it onto a train or up stairs far easier than most folders. The 250W motor and 417Wh battery deliver a claimed 62 miles. Owner reports and the modest battery size suggest realistic mixed-mode range is closer to 35 to 50 miles though. It is one of the best-value folders you can buy. It backs that up with 7-speed Shimano gearing and a UK price that usually hovers around £900.

2. Fiido Air - the lightest e-bike

Fiido Air

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.3 around £1,499

Best for: Lightest e-bike

Motor

250W Mivice rear hub

Battery

Integrated 208.8Wh

Range

Up to 38 miles (claimed)

Weight

13.5kg

+ What we like

• Full carbon frame, one of the lightest e-bikes sold
• Torque sensor and silent carbon belt drive
• Beautiful, minimalist looks

- Watch-outs

• Small battery limits range to around 30 to 44 miles
• Single speed struggles on steep hills

Our verdict: A stunning, ultra-light carbon e-bike for flat cities, as long as you accept the short range and premium price.

Check price

The Air is the showpiece of the range and one of the lightest electric bikes on sale anywhere. It weighs roughly 13.5kg thanks to a full carbon-fibre frame, fork, bars and seat post. It pairs a Mivice 250W motor with a torque sensor and a Gates carbon belt drive. It rides smoothly and almost silently with no chain to oil as a result. The compromise is the small integrated 208.8Wh battery. It gives a claimed 38 miles but realistically 30 to 44 depending on conditions. A single-speed setup adds to the compromise too. It does not love steep hills. At around £1,499 it is a lifestyle bike for flat-city riders who value weight and looks above all else.

3. Fiido C11 - best for comfort

Fiido

Fiido C11

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.2 around £899

Best for: Best for comfort

Motor

250W rear hub

Battery

499.2Wh removable

Range

Up to 65 miles (claimed)

Weight

24.5kg

+ What we like

• Easy step-through frame for relaxed riding
• Large removable battery for longer trips
• Practical commuter kit and upright position

- Watch-outs

• Heavy at 24.5kg
• Not a folder, so storage needs more space

Our verdict: The comfortable, do-everything city Fiido for riders who want an upright position and a big battery over portability.

Check price

The C11 is Fiido’s full-size step-through commuter for anyone who does not want a folder. The low, crossbar-free frame makes mounting and dismounting easy. That suits less confident riders and anyone in everyday clothes. A large 499.2Wh removable battery gives a claimed 65 miles. 7-speed gearing plus an upright riding position make it a relaxed daily bike too. At around 24.5kg it is heavy and it does not fold. You need somewhere to keep it as a result. It is still the most practical Fiido for city use for sheer comfort and range.

It competes well with other step-through electric bikes for everyday riding.

4. Fiido M1 Pro - best fat-tyre folder

Fiido

Fiido M1 Pro

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 4.0 around £1,099

Best for: Best fat-tyre folder

Motor

250W rear hub

Battery

48V 13Ah (625Wh) removable

Range

Up to 54 miles (claimed)

Weight

26kg

+ What we like

• Fat 20x4-inch tyres handle rough tracks and towpaths
• Big 625Wh battery for longer range
• Folds despite its rugged build

- Watch-outs

• Heavy at around 26kg
• Fat tyres add drag on smooth roads

Our verdict: A go-anywhere fat-tyre folder with a large battery, suited to mixed terrain rather than fast tarmac commuting.

Check price

The M1 Pro swaps the slim folder formula for chunky 20x4-inch fat tyres and a bigger 625Wh battery. That makes it the Fiido to pick if your riding includes towpaths, gravel, fields or rougher tracks. The wide tyres add grip and cushioning there. It still folds. That is unusual for a fat-tyre bike. The large battery supports a claimed 54 miles too. The downsides are predictable. At around 26kg it is heavy to lift. The fat tyres create noticeable drag on smooth tarmac too. It earns its place as a rugged leisure and light-trail bike rather than a fast commuter.

5. Fiido D3 Pro - best budget mini

Fiido

Fiido D3 Pro

★★★★★ ★★★★★ 3.9 around £699

Best for: Best budget mini

Motor

250W rear hub

Battery

36V 7.5Ah integrated

Range

Up to 49 miles (claimed)

Weight

17.3kg

+ What we like

• Compact 16-inch mini folder, very light
• Cheapest way into the Fiido range
• Easy to store in a flat or boot

- Watch-outs

• Small wheels feel twitchy at speed
• Single speed and modest brakes

Our verdict: A cheap, light mini folder for short city hops and last-mile trips, best for smaller, lighter riders.

Check price

The D3 Pro Mini is the entry point to the brand. It has 16-inch wheels and a weight of around 17.3kg. It is a true mini folder built for short urban hops and last-mile journeys from train to office. It is the cheapest way into Fiido at roughly £699. It is hard to beat for tucking under a desk or into a car boot. The trade-offs are real. The small wheels feel nervous at higher speeds. The single-speed drivetrain with basic brakes is basic too. It does the job for the money for a lighter rider doing short, flat trips.

How Fiido compares on value

The thread running through every Fiido is value. You especially get weight and battery specifications that usually cost more elsewhere. The D11’s removable seat-post battery and the Air’s full carbon frame are the clearest examples. Both deliver a party trick (easy carrying at a sub-14kg weight) that rivals near the price rarely match. Fiido is honest-to-a-fault about gearing and motor power. Most models use a 250W rear hub and either a single speed or 7-speed drivetrain. That is plenty for flat-to-rolling cities but works hard on sustained steep climbs.

Battery sizes vary a lot across the range. That matters more than the headline range claims. The Air’s 208.8Wh pack is small by design to keep weight down. It is the shortest-legged Fiido despite its premium price as a result. The C11 and M1 Pro carry far larger batteries for genuinely longer days out. Treat every manufacturer range figure as an eco-mode best case as a rule. Plan for noticeably less in mixed real-world riding. Our cheap electric bikes guide and best electric bikes under £1,000 roundup are worth a look if outright value at the lowest price is your priority.

Are Fiido bikes road-legal in the UK?

Every Fiido sold through the UK store and UK retailers is built as an EAPC (Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle). That means a 250W motor, pedal assistance that cuts out at 15.5mph, and a minimum rider age of 14. Ride one of these and you need no licence, no road tax and no insurance. You can use cycle lanes and shared paths exactly as you would on a normal bike. Some grey-import e-bikes and high-power throttle machines sold online are not EAPC-compliant. They would be classed as motor vehicles instead. That is one more reason to buy genuine UK Fiido stock.

Our UK electric bike law guide has the full rules.

Which Fiido should you buy?

Most riders should start with the D11: it is the best balance of weight, removable battery, gears and price in the range. Choose the Air only if low weight and a clean, silent belt drive matter more to you than range or budget. Go for the C11 if comfort and an easy step-through frame beat portability. Choose the M1 Pro if you ride rough ground. Pick the D3 Pro if you want the cheapest, most compact option for short trips.

Every UK Fiido is EAPC-legal whatever you pick. You can ride it with no licence, tax or insurance. Our best folding electric bikes roundup and folding e-bike buyer’s guide are worth comparing before deciding.
