Fiido Air review: so lightweight you’ll forget it’s an e-bike

Carbon fiber, belt drive, and a starting price tag of $1,799.

And Fiido says the Air is “the world’s lightest city e-bike” with a “super early bird” price tag of just$1799 at launch(or €1799 in Europe) — rising to $1999 and then $2799 later, ahead of August shipments. And after spending more than a month with a Fiido Air as my daily rider, I gotta say — I’m impressed... so long as you ignore the app and the silly smartwatch it ships with, and aren’t afraid of doing a little wrenching and troubleshooting yourself. In fact, you wouldn’t know it’s an e-bike at all if it wasn’t for the giant ON / OFF graphic that Fiido inexplicably chose to blaze across the frame as if its owner needs to be forever reminded of where that button is.
