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, which keeps prices down, and 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, but the wider line-up covers step-through commuters, fat-tyre folders and budget minis.

This guide pulls together the Fiido models worth knowing about in the UK, with honest verdicts based on manufacturer specifications, owner feedback and how each bike compares on value. Prices at this end of the market move often, so 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, which is the source of both its strengths and its weaknesses. On the plus side, you get specs that punch above the price, light frames, removable batteries on most models and, on the Air and D11, a torque sensor that gives a more natural ride than the cheap cadence sensors common at this money. On the downside, you do not get a high-street shop to lean on, range claims are optimistic, and the 250W motors are sensible rather than punchy on steep climbs.

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

• 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, but the clever part is the removable battery built into the seat post: pop it out and the bike drops to about 13.5kg, which 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, though owner reports and the modest battery size suggest realistic mixed-mode range is closer to 35 to 50 miles. With 7-speed Shimano gearing and a UK price that usually hovers around £900, it is one of the best-value folders you can buy. Read our full Fiido D11 review for the deep dive.

2. Fiido Air - the lightest e-bike

Fiido

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, at 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, so it rides smoothly and almost silently with no chain to oil. The compromise is the small integrated 208.8Wh battery, which gives a claimed 38 miles but realistically 30 to 44 depending on conditions, plus a single-speed setup that 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

If a folder is not what you need, the C11 is Fiido’s full-size step-through commuter. The low, crossbar-free frame makes mounting and dismounting easy, which suits less confident riders and anyone in everyday clothes. A large 499.2Wh removable battery gives a claimed 65 miles, and 7-speed gearing plus an upright riding position make it a relaxed daily bike. At around 24.5kg it is heavy and it does not fold, so you need somewhere to keep it, but for sheer comfort and range it is the most practical Fiido for city use. 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, where the wide tyres add grip and cushioning. It still folds, which is unusual for a fat-tyre bike, and the large battery supports a claimed 54 miles. The downsides are predictable: at around 26kg it is heavy to lift, and the fat tyres create noticeable drag on smooth tarmac. As a rugged leisure and light-trail bike rather than a fast commuter, it earns its place.

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. With 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. At roughly £699 it is the cheapest way into Fiido, and for tucking under a desk or into a car boot it is hard to beat. The trade-offs are the small wheels, which feel nervous at higher speeds, and the single-speed drivetrain with basic brakes. For a lighter rider doing short, flat trips, it does the job for the money.

How Fiido compares on value

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

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

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, and you can use cycle lanes and shared paths exactly as you would on a normal bike. Note that some grey-import e-bikes and high-power throttle machines sold online are not EAPC-compliant and would be classed as motor vehicles, which is one more reason to buy genuine UK Fiido stock. For the full rules, see our UK electric bike law guide.

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, the M1 Pro if you ride rough ground, and the D3 Pro if you want the cheapest, most compact option for short trips.

Whatever you pick, every UK Fiido is EAPC-legal, so you can ride it with no licence, tax or insurance. If you want to weigh Fiido against rivals before deciding, see our roundups of the best folding electric bikes and our folding e-bike buyer’s guide.
