Global e-bike enthusiasts have reason to rejoice as Fiido, a renowned electric bicycle manufacturer, introduces its latest offering, the Fiido Air. Boasting a featherlight carbon frame and powered by a discreetly integrated rear hub motor, this model sets a new standard for lightweight and stylish urban commuting.
The Fiido Air, now available for worldwide pre-order, weighs a mere 13 kg (~28.7 lbs), making it the lightest electric bicycle in Fiido’s lineup. The carbon frame lends a sleek and minimalist aesthetic, with the battery and motor cleverly concealed for a clean look.
Equipped with a 250W Mivice M070 rear motor, the Fiido Air delivers up to 40Nm torque and can reach a top assistance speed of 30 kph (~9 mph). Fiido highlights the motor’s silent operation, complemented by a torque sensor that adjusts output based on the rider’s pedaling intensity. A 208.8 Wh battery provides a range of up to 80 km (~50 miles), with a quick three-hour full recharge time. For extended rides, an optional range-extender battery is available.
Functionality meets convenience with features like the Gates Carbon Drive system for low-maintenance operation, Shimano BR-MT410 hydraulic disc brakes for reliable stopping power, and integrated headlights and taillights for enhanced visibility. While the Fiido Air lacks a built-in display, users can easily mount their smartphones to the handlebars using accessories like the Lamicall Bike Phone Holder. Additionally, the accompanying app allows riders to access journey information and share ride data with friends.
The Fiido Air is priced at $1,799/€1,799/£1,635/CA$3,074 for pre-order, with an enticing offer for early customers. A limited number of buyers will receive a complimentary Mate smartwatch, capable of connecting to the e-bike and tracking health metrics such as heart rate. Anticipated to ship in August 2024, the Fiido Air promises a harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology, performance, and style for discerning riders worldwide.
