Facts
Summary of Reviews
We have read all expert and user reviews on the Fiido Air. In summary, this is what cyclists think.
12 reasons to buy
- The impressively light Fiido Air is easy to lift and carry, say reviewers.
- The Gates belt drive is durable, low-maintenance, and free from grease that can stain clothing.
- Testers agree that the well-tuned torque sensor provides smooth, responsive assistance that combines with simple controls for an intuitive experience.
- The Air comes in three frame sizes to fit riders from 5’3” to 6’9”, though Fiido’s stated fit appears to be inaccurate at the low end of the small and large frames.
- This bike’s range can be doubled with an optional extra battery that mounts on the down tube.
- The Air has fully integrated front and rear lights.
- This bike comes with quality Kenda 40mm tires, though the chunky tread is more gravel than street.
- Testers appreciate the quiet motor and belt drive.
- Reviewers relish the ease of using the fingerprint reader to unlock the Air, though it doesn’t work in heavy rain.
- Testers praise the Air's sleek, minimalist design that disguises the fact it's an e-bike.
- Experts savor the nimble handling.
- The Air is comfortable on bumpy surfaces, thanks to the wide tires and the carbon-fiber frame’s absorption of vibrations.
7 reasons not to buy
- The single-speed drivetrain and 35Nm of motor torque aren’t ideal for hilly terrain.
- Reviewers lament the “terrible” app and smartwatch.
- Buyers must pay extra for fenders and a kickstand. The Air has mounting points for a rack, but the rack isn’t available yet.
- General customer feedback about Fiido and a reviewer’s experience with the Air indicate poor quality control.
- Poor packaging and instructions led one expert to make a mistake when assembling the bike. Also, the drive belt required adjustment, and the bottom bracket needed lubrication.
- An expert feels the aggressive riding position doesn’t suit extended commutes.
- A tester complains that a full charge takes 4.5 hours.
Bottom line
Fiido’s Air is a Class 1 e-commuter with a lightweight carbon-fiber frame, a 250W hub motor, and a 208.8Wh battery. The impressively low weight, minimalist looks, smooth and responsive pedal assist, and intuitive rider experience win praise. Experts applaud the comfortable ride, agile handling, and quiet, low-maintenance belt drive. The clunky app and “toy-like” watch are roundly criticized, and the single gear and low torque don’t suit hills. Additionally, quality control remains a challenge for Fiido. Despite the half-baked app and watch and the lack of fenders or rack, the Air is considered great value.Expert Reviews
