In today’s modern world, electric bikes are becoming a much more common means of transportation, especially within metropolitan areas. There are many reasons why city dwellers are adopting electric bikes as their personal vehicle of choice for commuting around town. First and foremost, e-bikes are a significantly more environmentally-friendlier alternative to cars, motorcycles and public transports, as they do not produce any carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. On top of being a more sustainable means of transportation, they’re also easy and comfortable to ride, while also giving riders a practical way to bypass heavy traffic. Another great thing about electric bikes is that they don’t require any sort of licensing to ride them in urban environments. What’s more is that today’s higher-end e-bike models are even capable of traveling at fast speeds and reaching considerably long ranges, as they’re equipped with powerful motors and large-capacity batteries that give them those capabilities. Recently, Fiido, an esteemed brand in electric mobility solutions, announced the launch of its latest e-bike model, the Fiido Air Carbon Fiber Electric Bike.
The Fiido Air is a high-end and ultra-lightweight carbon fiber electric bike which offers riders enhanced maneuverability and effortless handling, while also featuring an exceptional design and various cutting-edge features.
Designed to redefine the boundaries of lightweight performance, this groundbreaking carbon fiber e-bike aims to set a completely new standard in performance and innovation when compared to other lightweight electric bikes on the market, offering urban riders an unparalleled riding experience.
Most impressively, its revolutionary design has also earned the Fiido Air the 2024 Red Dot Award.
Here are the most notable features offered by Fiido’s newly released Fiido Air Carbon Fiber Electric Bike.
DESIGN, CONSTRUCTION & ACCESSORIES
Built to offer its riders an unrivaled level of performance, the Fiido Air packs an ultra-lightweight carbon fiber construction, making it weigh only an unbelievable 30.31 lbs. (13.75 kg). This impressive reduction in weight is made possible thanks to the bike’s unparalleled lightweight design, for which key components including its frame, front fork, handlebar, and seat post stem are all crafted from carbon fiber, thus offering riders exceptional strength and durability while still maintaining an astonishingly low weight.
The bike’s main frame is particularly built with a diamond-shaped design, which not only provides a lot of structural integrity to its core, but also gives the bike’s overall aesthetics a sleek and sophisticated look. The bike’s carbon fiber frame can support up to 264 lbs. (120 kg) of maximum load.
Another unique cool feature offered by the Fiido Air is the fact that it comes installed with hidden cords and cables that are internally routed inside its carbon fiber frame, which further contribute to a clean and uncluttered appearance, further accentuating the bike’s streamlined design.
In addition to its ultra-lightweight frame, the bike also comes equipped with a set of rugged Kenda Alluvium 700*40C tubeless gravel tires, which make it capable of riding smoothly and stably over most types of terrain, including on the road, sidewalks, and even dirt trails.
For its drive system, the Fiido Air utilizes a silent drive train consisting of a Gates Carbon Drive CDN gear system which ensures a smooth and efficient power transmission, eliminating the need for traditional chains, along with a set of Shimano BR-MT410 hydraulic disc brakes that offer reliable stopping power to ensure its rider’s safety in any situation, while also incorporating a high-end Mivice S200 torque sensor that provides a responsive and seamless riding experience.
It’s also worth noting that its gear system also offers a hassle-free maintenance for its belt, meaning no frame disassembly is required.
Lastly, know that the Fiido Air also comes equipped with a bright headlight that provides visibility while riding it, plus a taillight that signals your presence for other drivers in your surroundings.
MOTOR & BATTERY
On top of its impressive feather-lightweight construction, the Fiido Air is also designed to offer remarkable riding performance.
For its power, it utilizes a powerful Mivice-M070 250W motor which provides a smooth and responsive acceleration, allowing it to reach up to a maximum speed of 18.6 mph (29.93 km/h), while its built-in 208.8Wh battery enables it to travel within a considerable range of up to 49.70 miles (80 km), providing ample distance for daily commuting.
The company also sells an optional range-extender battery which can be directly connected to the bike’s frame to further extend its battery’s capacity, essentially doubling its travel range.
INTERFACE / BUILT-IN CONTROLS
As for its user interface, the Fiido Air sports a simple handlebar design that eliminates the need for a traditional display, as riders can conveniently monitor their ride statistics using the Fiido Mate smartwatch.
Finally, the eBike also boasts a fingerprint unlock function through a built-in fingerprint reader integrated at the top-center of its frame, while also offering three levels of pedal-assist (PAS) mode via a dedicated push button located above it, including ECO, Sport, and Turbo, thus allowing riders to customize their riding experience based on their travel needs.
