Mr Woosh is working very hard for a sale this morning! Just for the record, the Fiido D11 also has prop-stand, German beam front light and in-built rear light (both powered from the bike battery), electric horn rather than a bell, & mudguards as standard too. The 8-speed(?) Rambletta does have...

I weighed mine at just over 17kg. That, the fact it could be pushed along in folded form, and that it has a larger than most 11.6Ah/417Wh battery were the key differences for me. A £3500 electric Brompton is 16.5Kg, most others I looked at weighed 20-26Kg. That's just too much of a handful IMHO...

I have a Fiido D11 for my commute (not every day). I thought about the D4s instead, but cost wasn't an issue for me and the D11 is a little lighter for manhandling. My commute is a mile and a bit to the station, train into London, mile and a bit to a different London station (could take a tube...

I wouldn't want to sway your decision one way or the other, but the Fiido bikes you mention are better than the Decathlon at a technical level in nearly all respects. I'm sure Decathlon sell a lot of their btwin 500e model, but both the D11/D4s bikes have larger capacity batteries for longer...

Here is the current Amazon listing for your Swifty Liberte e-bike. Here is the Swifty Liberte Owners Manual downloadable from that same Amazon page which clearly states Swifty Service number being in Southend on 01702 208187. It's exactly the same manual with the same service number as you can...

@discopeanuts That's useful comment. There's been a couple of discussions here about the Estarli 20 before, but IIRC no actual owners bothered to comment, so your input is useful - thanks! @AndyB78 I've had a Fiido D11 for about a year, which I commented on elsewhere here on the forum both when...

My guess is that those who choose to thrash the nuts off their de-restricted bikes are likely to be making more warranty claims too - which is hardly the bike makers fault. There's a lot of bleating, whinging and generally crying wolf about "unfair treatment" and "not honouring warranty claims"...

ebikes.co.uk sell your Amazon Swifty bike. They also sell Argos and some lower-end Halfords, e-bikes direct, and TV channel models too. They seem to mostly re-sell overstock and refurbished (repaired) customer returned e-bikes on that website. They state they offer service and support on what...

What vouchers? What scheme? What other stores participate? If they include Rutland or Evans or E-bikes Direct (for example) your choice widens considerably... to include the main popular brands like Cube which isn't really Halfords forte, specialising as they do mostly in their own imports/brands.

The Phylion SF-06 battery was available with either a standard BMS or a smart BMS. Yose and other 3P suppliers of these batteries have sold both types over the years; the ones with smart BMS have a small round sticker on the underside saying "With Smart BMS". AFAIK Halfords bikes have always...

Yes, I'd say those measurements are right. There's some margin of flexibility in that you can save a couple more cm if you tilt the saddle back/level (with seat-post fitted), or lean the bike (with or without seat-post). Things to consider: If stored upright the bike rests on the bottom of the...

If the bike is otherwise mint, I'd look on ebay/ali for a cheap new Chinese replacement; you'll likely get a better price than trying to sell it with a bad/no battery.

If you sell something in a private sale it's sold as seen, and there is no obligation to refund the buyer. The best way to protect yourself is to give the buyer a written receipt for the money and clearly state "sold as seen". Then it's buyer beware, entirely at their own risk, and no comeback...

To be frank, I don't know why any employer or retailer would even bother messing around with these schemes on such a minimal margin product. With a Cube, Giant, R&M etc etc, there's at least some profit to be made. But on these Fiido, Himo, Ado, Eskute, Engwe etc bikes - i.e. direct Chinese...

What I think would be a really useful addition to your travel blog would be some kind of basic map to show each leg of your journey. Having spent 10 years living in Scotland I do recognise some of the names of the places you're travelling through and roughly where you are, but some kind of...

If you bought the replacement controller from Fiido, it should work. As you say, you may have fried the display too. Always best to discuss these things with Fiido support first before ordering spare parts. They're very helpful and likely will know what's been fried and what you'll need to replace.

In the interests of full disclosure, I thought I'd update this thread as I've owned this Fiido D11 e-bike for a year now. Mileage isn't particularly high given lockdowns and now rail strikes, but here's what I've found good and bad about the Fiido D11 in that first year. It's used for an...

I'm not altogether surprised. On paper it seems a good deal, but looked at closely it just seemed to me to be too good to be true. I like a bargain as much as the next man, but superficially there's just too much on offer for the £1000 being asked - there'd have to be compromises somewhere if...

Fiido use Yolin displays on their bikes too, some appearing to be modified to Fiido's own spec. On my own Fiido wth Yolin display, the convention is 160 = 16" wheel, 200 = 20" wheel, 260 = 26" wheel and so on. So it's 20.0 inches, not 200 inches. I think that's not a bad way of doing it: If...

@USAebike seems to be saying that Kalkhoff, who purchased Daum at significant cost, and then, after trying a few iterations/modifications to try and make it workable/competitive with other motor manufacturers of the time, failed so badly they themselves chose to abandon it completely and use...
