The “pocket” electric bike designed for agile urban journeys

Within the wide range of vehicles designed to move around the city in the most functional, fast and maneuverable way possible, adding a touch of fun, folding electric bikes clearly occupy a prominent place. This segment includes the Fiido D3 Pro, a model that is characterized by being among the smallest alternatives that exist on the market.

In fact, its proportions are so compact that it can be reminiscent of a scooter but with the possibility of sitting comfortably. And this without overlooking an attractive and resistant design at the same time, as well as an excellent value for money, really difficult to beat. It is a model that exactly meets what is expected of it, although without technological fanfare that would make its cost more expensive.

It integrates 14-inch wheels and, despite its dimensions, it is considerably robust. Its frame is made of aluminum, with an integrated 7.8 Ah/280.8 Wh battery that fully recharges in about 5 hours and offers a range of about 60 km. It is adaptable for cyclists of various sizes, from 1.55 m to 2.00 m, as long as they do not exceed 120 kg in weight, which is what the vehicle can support.

The D3 Pro features a 250W rear hub motor with three different levels of electric pedal assist, depending on the rider's needs and preferences. The handlebar is practical and simple, with a small and simple screen on the left side where there is a power button and another to choose between the different levels of electrical assistance.

The bike comes with front and rear disc brakes, small but functional fenders, and integrated front and rear lights. The electric vehicle is really light, weighing only 17.5 kg. Thanks to its folding system, this Fiido can take on a very contained form, more than enough to store it in the trunk of a car, for example, if necessary.

It must be borne in mind that it does not have a suspension system, but the thickness of the tires contributes to making bumpy rides more comfortable. To reinforce comfort, the manufacturer has also provided it with a wide and well-padded saddle. It should be noted, of course, that this is an electric bike designed exclusively for daily urban journeys, without thinking about greater adventures.

What's certain is that the D3 Pro is an e-bike that's equal parts fun and practical, and ideal for cruising around town with a small vehicle but with enough electric assistance to make it barely effortless. In addition, its size allows it to be stored in any corner, even in the smallest flats of any big city, an ideal habitat for it.

Its price is one of its strong points because, with an amount of around 650 euros, it becomes one of the most accessible possibilities in its segment. If you are interested in learning more about the D3 Pro and seeing it in action, just take a look at the video that accompanies this article.
