Overview
The Fiido D11 is a lightweight, foldable e-bike designed for urban commuters who prioritize convenience and storage. Its efficient battery provides a solid range for daily use, while the removable battery adds flexibility for charging and storage. The bike feels smooth and manageable on flat terrain, though it lacks the punch needed for steep hills or rapid acceleration. Mechanical disc brakes offer adequate stopping power, but not the confidence of hydraulic systems. With its compact frame and light weight, it's easy to carry and store, making it a practical choice for city riding and short commutes.
Best For
✓
This folding e-bike should suit riders who need a portable and practical option for urban travel and mixed-mode commuting. Its strong range and efficient battery use make it a good choice for riders who want to cover longer distances without frequent recharging, while the lightweight design and foldable frame make it easy to carry and store in tight spaces.

The Fiido D11 is listed at £999, which feels higher than many similar folding e-bikes from 2021, though it sits more comfortably when compared to other folding e-bikes in general. It offers a strong range and battery capacity that match or exceed many rivals, and the removable battery adds practicality for charging and storage. However, charging time is on the longer side compared to some alternatives, and the mechanical disc brakes may not feel as refined as hydraulic systems found on some similar models. For a folding e-bike, the balance of range, battery size and portability makes it appealing to commuters who prioritise compact storage and ease of use over speed or off-road capability. Riders who value convenience and daily practicality over cutting-edge tech or faster charging may find the price more justifiable. The age of the model could also mean there are newer options with similar features at a lower price, depending on what’s available.

Xiongda high-speed brushless geared rear hub motor
This folding e-bike offers a modest level of assistance that should feel smooth and predictable for short urban rides, with a focus on manageable support rather than high-speed or aggressive power delivery. Next to similar e-bikes, its motor support sits in the middle ground, providing enough punch for everyday use but falling short of the more punchy assistance found on some competitors. The motor should help with climbing and loaded riding, though it may not feel as strong on steeper hills or when pushing harder. With a cadence sensor, the assistance should feel straightforward and easy to control, though it may lack the subtlety of torque-sensing systems. Riders looking for a light, efficient motor that supports practical city riding without overcomplicating things should find this setup well-suited to their needs.
This explanation is based on the bike’s motor power, torque, battery capacity, claimed range, charging

eBike FAQs
Is this bike suitable for daily commuting and folding into small spaces?
The Fiido D11 is a great option for daily commuting, especially if you need to fold it into small spaces. Its lightweight design and compact frame make it easy to carry and store, whether you're keeping it at home, in an office, or on public transport. With a range of 81 miles on a single charge, it should handle most daily commutes comfortably, though you may need to plan charging stops for longer trips.
How does the motor perform when climbing hills or accelerating from a stop?
The Fiido D11's motor provides smooth support for gentle inclines and steady acceleration, but it may struggle with steeper hills or rapid starts. With 250 watts of power and average torque, it's better suited for flat to mildly hilly terrain. If you frequently encounter steep climbs or need quick bursts of speed, you might find the motor a bit lacking, but it should handle most urban commutes comfortably.
Is the battery efficient enough for longer rides without frequent recharging?
The Fiido D11 offers a strong range of 81 miles on a single charge, which should be sufficient for most longer rides without needing to recharge frequently. Its battery efficiency is above average for a folding e-bike, and the removable battery adds convenience for charging and storage. While the motor power is on the lower side for this type of bike, the efficient battery should help maintain a good range for daily use and longer commutes.
How easy is it to lift and carry this bike, especially when folded?
The Fiido D11 is quite easy to lift and carry, especially when folded, thanks to its low weight of 12.9 kg. This makes it manageable for most people, even when moving it up stairs or into small spaces. The foldable design adds to its portability, making it a great option for urban commuters who need to store or transport their bike easily.
Does the bike come with enough built-in features for everyday use, like lights?
The Fiido D11 includes built-in lights, which are a useful feature for everyday riding, especially during early mornings or evenings. These lights add practicality for city commutes and short trips without the need for extra accessories. While the bike is well-equipped for daily use, it’s worth noting that additional features like fenders or a rack may not be included, so you might want to consider adding them separately for full urban readiness.
How long does it take to charge the battery, and is it removable for convenience?
The battery takes longer than average to charge, which may be a consideration if you need to recharge frequently. However, the battery is removable, making it easier to charge at home or work and offering more flexibility for storage and travel.
Is this bike a good value for money compared to other folding e-bikes?
The Fiido D11 offers a solid balance of features for a folding e-bike, especially with its long range and lightweight design. While the motor power is on the lower end for this category, it should still handle most urban commutes comfortably. The price reflects its efficiency and portability, making it a reasonable choice if you prioritize ease of storage and transport over high-speed performance or heavy hill climbing.
What are the main limitations or trade-offs I should be aware of before buying this bike?
The Fiido D11 is a great folding e-bike for city use, but there are a few trade-offs to consider. The motor is on the weaker side for this type of bike, which means it may struggle with steep hills or quick acceleration. Charging is also slower than average, so you'll need to plan around longer charging times. While the mechanical disc brakes are adequate for everyday use, they don't offer the same level of control as hydraulic brakes. Overall, it's a practical choice for short to medium commutes in the city, but not ideal for more demanding terrain or riders who need rapid acceleration.
