Just tested the switch: Let's see what Fiido says next

It was charged normally, nothing was ever done to it (hence my confusion) Fiido have come back with: "Can you cut the two white wires and short them together?Because I h suspect that the on button of the battery is bad." quote unquote

We opened the cover! (total novices) Fiido says to check the fuse, and in their videos, the fuse is a very obvious blade-fuse thing on the red cable. 2 things we noticed: 1. My seatpost doesn't seem to have an obvious fuse like in their videos. The cables lead to some plastic-wrapped circuitboard. Maybe it's much deeper inside? Should we try to pop the bottom cover, or from the top? Hesitant to force/break something 2. There seems to a slight burnt smell, but I have no idea if they are like that normally. Photos attached. Grateful for advice

out of interest, where can a BMS be ordered, if the issue is that?

If it's any help, here's a preliminary test we did, that we sent to Fiido before they replied sayingto open it up:

Thank you for the advice. The bike was purchased from a local vendor which has since closed shop, they couldn't compete with manufacturer's direct sales... Fiido support have come back saying it's out of warranty, but suggested some tests. As the battery doesn't power on at all (pressing the button on the batter itself, not connected to the bike), they suggested checking the 2 wires going to the button, and if the fuse might be blown. I'll get a voltmeter and test it this weekend, fingers crossed!

Hi! Has anybody with a Fiido experienced the following? Normal behaviour: 1. Charger in unconnected state (charger's LED shows Green) 2. Connect the charger to battery (charger's LED goes Red) 3. When fully charged, Charger LED is green again. In my bike, there seems to be an issue: 1. Charger in unconnected state (charger's LED shows Green) 2. Connect the charger to battery (charger's LED goes Red > for 2 seconds > then it goes green again) 3. After having been connected for 4 hours, there is still no charge on the battery at all. It's just a couple of months beyond the 12 month battery warranty Is there any fix I can do that avoids buying new battery?

dodged a bullet there, i was considering getting a T1 some months ago!

Vivescooters.co.uk does the cycle scheme for the Fiido D21 As an aside, I might be selling mine in the next few weeks, it's still under warranty until Feb 2023. My new office location requires me to commute home through some large parkland / marshes in the pitch dark, so for safety's sake a suspension bike is on the cards. The D21 is fine on roads/paths but it's a stiff frame ultimately not ideal for off-road.

True, i also found that some retailers (Vive Scooters in my case) sometimes offer the bike with a discount for direct sales, but this discount does not apply via the cycle scheme. In the end I bought directly just to save time, the difference was £80

May I ask which aftermarket shock you got for the rear?

"Less paperwork to be filled in on the shop's side" was what I got told by a bike shop friend. I have no direct experience, personally.

I'm told that Green Commute Initiative is a decent alternative to the cycle-to-work scheme, and that it's quick and easy for shops and customers to register with.
