what's happening everyone my name is alex and welcome back in today's video we are checking
out the fido m1 pro electric bicycle this is a bicycle that has 20 inch wheels and also
4 inch wide tires so the bike does look a bit different than most other bikes out there this is
also a foldable bike so you can fold it right here in the middle and the handlebar is also foldable
we have a front and rear suspension of course that will help whenever we go over bumps but
keep in mind that we also have those big tires so those definitely help way more than the suspension
whenever you go over uneven terrain we have a 500 watt motor that's located in the rear wheel here
and the top speed for this bicycle and take it out of the box is 25 kilometers an hour however
the bike is limited to that 25 kilometers an hour based on the regulations for the countries where
the bike is being sold however you can easily unlock this and then it can go up to 45 kilometers
an hour and there are a bunch of videos on youtube that shows you how to unlock this but very simple
um to do so as for the range that you can get for one charge well it really depends how you're
using the bike the manufacturer says that you can get up to 100 kilometers on a charge but of course
that is if you're using the bike on level one and you also pedal if you do on a pedal and you're a
bit on the lazier side like myself well you can get around 35 to 38 kilometers on one charge but
that again it really depends on the terrain that you're riding on if you're riding on flat surfaces
if you're riding uphill how heavy you are and so on but we'll talk more about that later on in the
video all right so for a super quick unboxing as you'd expect the bike comes in a pretty massive
box but we do have a pretty massive bike and you do have to do a bit of an installation when you
take the bike out of the box so you basically have to put that front wheel and the plastic fenders
now personally i'm not a fan of those plastic fenders and i feel that the bike looks way cooler
without those some plastic fenders but i guess if you're gonna ride over wet surfaces those are
a must because otherwise you're just gonna spray yourself with mud so personally i will remove the
plastic mud guards as soon as we are done the video because the bike does look way cooler
without those okay so the bike has a seven speed setup we have a shimano shifter that's right here
on the back and of course to shift gears you have a couple of buttons here to up shift or downshift
no problems whenever you're shifting gears all the shifts are nice and smooth so of course you don't
necessarily need the electric motor to ride this bicycle you can just use it as a regular bicycle
and if you downshift a lot of course you can even climb hills without any electricity being used
the shock on the back here has about a centimeter of travel that's definitely not that much but
this will help a bit whenever you're going over an even terrain but keep in mind that you have those
massive tires and those help the the most you can also make these a bit um softer and the softer
they are the less bumps you're gonna feel um on the road of course and on the front again we have
um another suspension this one has way more travel than the one on the back normally and there is an
adjustment here even though i haven't actually noticed the adjustment to do much so even if i
change the adjustment it kind of performs the same so we do have way more travel here on the front
the pedals on this bicycle are made out of plastic you can also fold this it's fairly simple to do so
they are still made out of plastic i would have liked to see some metal pedals but you can easily
remove these and install whatever pedals you want on the front and on the back we also have
pretty big disc brakes let me just turn the bike around these are actually bigger than
most uh bicycles that i got them to try these are mechanical disc brakes so you have a cable
so the harder you pull on these levers the more you'll you're gonna break and you can definitely
lock these brakes if you pull on those levers hard enough and the braking power is also really good
now after riding the bike for a couple of weeks i did notice that the brakes are starting to squeak
a bit i did see this with other bikes in the past so there is a bit of noise whenever you're braking
but the braking performance is not affected by that in any way like any other bike out there
the seat is also adjustable in height so you can put it higher or lower and it's fairly comfortable
as well so we have quite a bit of padding here so it's comfortable for longer periods of time
now the handlebar here is not adjustable in height i would have loved to see this being adjustable
in height but however you can fold this so to fold this you basically pull on this right here
and then the handle bar falls this way this um helps whenever you're folding up the bike
and actually i can show you that right now so let me turn the bike around so you can see better
so we have the folding mechanism right here in the center this is kind of like a safety thing
then you're going to pull on this part here and then you can easily fold the bicycle like this
and whenever you're done with that you can just um put this back so if you need to take this in a car
if you take it to the office or if you have don't have enough room at home you can fold it and make
it a bit um smaller this bike also weighs kilos so it is a fairly heavy bike so you're not gonna
be able to carry this for extended periods of time the battery pack is also located in the frame here
and you can actually remove the battery pack if you fold the bike so you can see the battery pack
right here and you can actually pull this out now underneath the battery pack we have a key i'm not
sure if you can actually see the key right here but this is kind of like the ignition key you can
turn off the bike with this key here and then the bike is not gonna turn on i mean you can
still pedal but you're not gonna have the motor happening so you can remove that battery from
the frame and you can actually charge the battery at home if you want but you can also charge it um
in in the bicycle you have the charging port on this side of the bicycle and it takes about
seven to eight hours to charge this from zero to a hundred to the charger that comes in the box that
charger does have a fan inside so whenever you're charging the bike you're gonna hear that fan going
on inside the charger but the charger doesn't get hot like other chargers that i've seen in the past
on the front here just above that plastic mud guard we also have the headlight you can turn
this on and off of course during the day is not that bright to be seen that well but at
night it's powerful enough so it can light up the path ahead of you and we also have the horn in the
light there and this is how it sounds so pretty loud horn on as well now unfortunately there is no
rear light i find that a bit disappointing there is something that you can attach the back of the
bike but it's not a light so you're gonna have to buy all your own light uh so you can be a bit
safer whenever you're riding at night basically the handlebar here is nice and wide so whenever
you're riding you don't feel cramped the grips here don't move at all but i wish you would be
able to raise the handlebar a bit because it would make the riding position a bit more comfortable
like it is on that bike can actually raise them the handlebar now the brake levers of course are
here as i mentioned earlier these are mechanical brakes we have the buttons for the shifter here
and then you have the accelerator on the right hand side here so this bike you don't necessarily
have to pedal you can just accelerate from here and the bike can just go by itself but if you
want to save some power of course if you pedal as well and the bike just assists you whenever you're
pedaling you can ride for longer periods of time on one charge on the left hand side here we also
have the screen this is a fairly small screen and depending how the the sun hits the screen you can
see it better or not that great at this time because the sun is right there i can barely see
the screen so it really depends on where your position on the screen there you can basically see
how much better you have the speed that you're riding in and the mode that you're riding in so
there are three modes of an assistance of course one is the lowest three is the most assistance
that the bike will give you so of course this is fairly simple to use you turn on the bike you
select what mode of assistance you want and then you go pedaling as soon as you start pedaling the
bike will start assisting you and basically keep you going so you don't have to put that
much effort into pedaling and next i'm just gonna get that camera i'm gonna put it on my chest here
and i'll take you for a little ride so i can show you exactly how the bike rides how it accelerates
and so on all right so let me show you how riding this goes so this is the power button right here
the screen comes on and from here you can switch modes i think we're just gonna go in mode number
two here of course we have the shifter and um this is the accelerator so first i'm gonna show
you how it starts with the accelerator so you don't have to pedal you basically hold this
and it keeps going
you can also start by pedaling so next time we're gonna start pedaling and you're gonna
see how the bike starts uh helping you basically so let's start pedaling
so as you've seen uh it started pushing me basically helping me ride
now we're in the fifth speed
and basically the bike can keep you constant without you actually having to do
that much um work and can also just accelerate from here
so next i'm gonna go look for a steeper heel just so i can show you how the bike performs um
whenever you're riding on hills since we have different speeds of course you can just lower
the speed and make that climb um easier so let me find the hill and uh i'll be right back okay
so we have a bit of uphill riding on here i'm not sure how well you can actually see that
on the camera i'm basically on the third speed and i'm using the level of assistance
number three so i'm gonna start pedaling
we have quite a bit of an incline here
but as you can see i don't really have to put that much effort into pedaling
so the bike kind of uh takes me up by itself i'm just pedaling slowly
so on this kind of hills there is absolutely no problem riding uh a bike like this one that
500 watt motor on the back definitely helps not to mention that if you on a pedal it will
go even quicker and easier so that's how going uphill works with this electric assisted bicycle
okay i have another quick climb up ahead just i can show you how this uh does
so quite a bit uh of a hill here i'm not sure if you can actually see that on the camera
but the hill is quite um quite steep up here i'm in the third gear and the assistance mode
number three and i don't really have to put that much work into pedaling as you can see
i guess this um keeps going up
and the terrain here isn't that smooth as you can see for yourself but the ride is
quite comfortable mostly because of those big tires and the front area suspension
so nice and easy riding like this when compared to a regular bike that's not electric
and we are still going up
here it's getting a bit harder to pedal
you can also accelerate when you want
so yeah really easy to to ride uphill with a bike
like this and i guess i can also show you how we go uh
down and uh how much noise the brakes make because i do have to hold the brakes uh on this hill
as for the off-road capabilities i mean this is not exactly an off-road bicycle
but it is fairly comfortable over uneven terrain we have a section
around here that's um a bit more bumpy just so you can see how that suspension
does so we have a few bumps here and the ride is pretty comfortable as well
and i might as well show you the stopping power so
pretty good stopping power as well so there you have it this is the fido m1 pro electric bike now
this is a bike that looks very unique mostly because of those fat tires that we have on
the front and on the back and a bike that always turns heads so wherever you go people look after
you because the bike does look quite different as i said i'm personally going to remove the plastic
fenders that we have on the front and on the back i feel the bike will look
better that way but i wouldn't call this an off-road bike i mean sure you can definitely
go over uneven surfaces but i wouldn't take this on the mountain um that's what i'm saying
but for in town and whatever you have wherever you have some uneven surfaces it will do good but
it's not exactly a off-road um bike so yeah this is um the fido m1 pro
hopefully you guys enjoyed this video thanks for watching and i'll see you guys in the next one
