Components and build quality:
The step-through frame makes it really easy to get on and off the bike because you don't have to kick your leg over the back. It also means that your outfits can be a bit more versatile, some female riders preferring to wear dresses and skirts.
The Fiido C1 Pro also has a pannier rack for all of your extra cargo. Fiido also sell a front basket if you want any extra room!
This e-bike does also have a throttle so you could get moving without even starting to pedal. This is a road legal e-bike so the throttle does only assist up to 6kmh. This throttle could be used like a walk-assist system if you also wanted.
The larger wheels make the bike feel very balanced, stable and secure on the road. Coupled with the front suspension this bike is very comfortable to ride.
Performance and handling:
The torque sensor gives this electric bike a very natural feel while riding as the motor matches its power output with your pedal pressure. Fiido claim that the torque sensor has non-contact technology that can analyse pedal pressure within 0.01 of a second so there will be no delay in the motor getting started. Our acceleration test showed that the Fiido C1 Pro can get from stationary to top speed (15.5mph) in just over 5 seconds in Turbo mode!
It performed really well on our hill test too. We managed to get uphill at an average speed of 13.5mph which in Sport mode, not even the highest level of pedal assist!
It is also important to note that this bike has a really comfortable saddle, a factor which should not be underestimated. Paired with the bike’s step-through frame this bike would be great for city commuters and people who may be new to cycling.
Safety and security:
It has a removable battery that can be locked with a key.
The Fiido C11 has a bell built into the LCD control that is fairly loud and has a fully integrated front and rear lighting system so you can see and be seen on the roads.
