Hey what’s up Sami here.
Ever since my first range test of the Fiido D11,
people keep asking what’s the max range if you use the pure electric mode?
Well, today we’ll find out in this video.
First let’s fully charge the battery.
When the indicator on the charger turns to green means it’s fully charged.
Put the seat post in,
connect the power,
press the button,
and now check out the display.
If you’ve watched my last Fiido D11 range test video,
then you may remember it hit 99km and still went on for a while and then it cut off the power
and I didn’t record the last number.
And what a coincidence, it makes to just 100km!
Before I go, I know it’s going to be the easiest test comparing to my previous tests,
you know I’m not gonna pedal it,
but I still prepared everything.
A small bag for the bike to put the power bank, cables those,
a giant backpack to have my water bottles, cameras, air pump,
and a really heavy speaker - Mega Pro,
the newest speaker from Tronsmart.
And the total weight is 89.5kg,
plus the stuff in the small bag, it should easily surpass 90kg.
Withour further ado, let's go!
1km
I noticed one thing here even I only had 1km range,
when I press the throttle to the bottom,
one battery bar will disappear and when I release the throttle, it goes back.
This is normal as I’ve consulted the engineer from Fiido, very interesting though.
OK! Gonna grab something to eat.
OK! We are ready to go!
Did you see that?
Two battery bars just disappeared when I press the throttle
When I release the throttle, all battery bars go back.
5km, it's purely in electric mode.
And to be honest, this is the easiest test among all Fiido D11 range tests, I didn't even sweat (sweet?)
Heck, I just spilt my coke!
10km!
Alright, 16km!
The total ODO is 117km.
During this electric mode test, the top (not average) speed is 23 or 24km/h on flat ground.
And when I press the throttle for a while, it will enter the cruise mode,
then I just enjoy the ride.
But after 16km ride,
I really gotta pee
18km! And two battery bars have gone!
21km!
24km!
One of the great things about the Fiido D11 is it handles uphill slopes pretty decent.
Let’s take this slope for example.
The angle is larger than 45 degrees but still it has the power to go up even without pedaling.
Of course, it feels less powerful when it’s about to reach to the top
so I pedaled a bit and it easily got over that.
I don’t expect it’s that good!
And without too much effort, I reached to my destination Shenzhen Bay.
And the total range is 26km, that’s purely in electric mode,
and the total odo is 127km, 100km was in moped mode.
And the map shows 23km.
It seems there is a minor error between the two,
but you have to know during the riding,
many times I have to put the camera ahead of me in order to get shots like this
and then go back to fetch the camera,
so the number I think on the D11 is fair accurate.
After few hours of me enjoying the music and riding (at Shenzhen Bay),
of course, I turned off the bike’s power.
I just want to pedal it to get some exercise, after all, during this test I didn’t pedal.
And it’s time to go back!
Yeah, I think it's time to go home after several hours here.
The total ODO is 127km.
Just press the throttle and go!
1km.
The view here is amazing, isn't it?
I wanna stay here a bit longer
I wanna fly kite with my daughter Cristina too.
This is a great place.
The weather is not bad though the forecast say it will be raining today, I didn't see any rain.
4km
This is like the Silicon Valley of China.
You see ZTE here
Skyworth here, that's the DJI HD
There are lots, Tencent is also here
After only 5km (on the way back), you see the battery indicator is flashing!
Seems almost out of battery!
But when I release the throttle, one battery bar goes back.
It's raining now just after 6km of riding.
7km
34km in electric mode
It's still raining but it's light rain, which is ok.
8km in pure electric mode.
9km! The battery is still flashing!
It could be used up at any time.
But when I release the throttle, one battery bar goes back, that's interesting.
10km!
It's 11km now
It's 11km on the way back.
And the battery indicator is flashing all the time, it won't go back with one bar left like before
It just can't.
So I guess, 38km is the range in electric mode test.
I'm still surprised.
Fiido says it has 40km - 50km in electric mode.
Today I reached to 38km, that's not bad considering the 90kg weight it loads!
I guess the battery is gonna end very soon.
I'm afraid I can't happen to record that moment so 38km range would be fair, right?
Because definitely it's not going to make to 12km or 39km total, I don't think so.
That's pretty amazing anyway
From that section to here, the battery indicator is still flashing.
You see I press the throttle to the bottom the top speed is 10 or 9km/h
I think the battery is gonna die very soon.
You see I've already pressed to the bottom and we are on flat ground.
The max speed is like 6 or 5km/h
Wow, no way! It makes to 12km! Did you see that?
---- I really hope I'm not being too long-winded here, I'm just surprised ----
Still flashing. I went on about another 200 meters more
I'm gonna grab a bottle of water here
Hello guys after several of minutes here, the battery is still not being totally used up.
But the thing is even I press the throttle to the bottom, it's not moving.
So 39km! That's the range in electric mode with my 90kg weight!
It's amazing
I'll just pedal home, that's one of the great things with this kind of ebike.
You can still pedal home when it's out of battery, see you there.
Just as I was going to pedal home I found there is a metro station there, why not take the metro
There is an elevator up but no down so I have to carry it.
It's lightweight, with one hand, no problem
I'm glad the bike is foldable, otherwise the metro guys won't let me in.
If not foldable, they said I have to take off the wheels, lol
But if you can fold your bike like this then wouldn't be a problem.
That's convenient and weird metro rules.
How can I get out?
Yeah, you have to be a little bit creative to get out if you stuck like that.
Yeah, that's today's video.
To be honest, I'm surprised by how Fiido D11 performs.
At least it lives up to its claims.
The 100km range in moped mode, it does that.
And 40km-50km in electric mode, it does that too.
I'm surprised.
But of course like all products it has good sides and down sides.
There are really a few things about the Fiido D11 I don't like.
But that will be in my full review on Geekbuying YouTube channel, so stay tuned!
The review will be out this week, make sure to subscribe!
See you next time!
