In order to live a healthier and more eco-friendly life, many people choose to ride a bicycle whenever possible. Despite this, the car is still the most common means of transport, especially in large urban centers. But, now with the market of Electric Bicycle on the rise, the Chinese company Fiido launched a new multipurpose model that promises to completely change the dynamics of this competition.
The company recently added some new features to its T1 electric bike, and they say these enhancements make the product "as capable as the vehicles" when it comes to tasks like getting the kids to school or picking up groceries from the market.
According to the manufacturer, the multipurpose electric bike is not only “powerful and robust”, but also performs well off-road. Under the seat is located its 960 Wh battery, which supports fast charging and has a range of up to 100 kilometers per charge when driven at a maximum speed of 45 kilometers per hour.

If you use less throttle and put the pedal assist in more efficient settings, you can have a range of up to 150 kilometers. Meanwhile, the power of the rear hub motor can reach 750 watts.
To improve performance on rough terrain, the T1 comes standard with larger 20-inch tires, front suspension and a seat equipped with shock absorbers. The maximum load capacity is 200 kg (including rider weight) and the bike weighs 32 kg, which is about the same weight as other e-bikes that fall into the same payload category.
It is important to keep in mind the various aspects that affect the autonomy of a Fiido multipurpose electric bike, such as the pedaling method, the total weight carried by the vehicle and even the climate; despite this, the number is sufficient to make shorter urban journeys.
Fiido claims its multipurpose electric bike is ideal for riders between 1,60 and 2 meters tall, and is also water and dust resistant.
For now, the model is officially available in the United States of America, Europe, United Kingdom and Canada, and can be purchased through the Fiido website for US$ 1.599, which is equivalent to around R$ 8.300 when converted directly.
In the end, the value of Fiido's multipurpose electric bike seems absurd, but it's only a little more than minimum wage in the US, which indicates that it's a reasonably priced bike for the local market.
With this new model, Fiido hopes to increase competition in the electric bicycle market and encourage more people to opt for this means of transport. healthy transportation and ecological. By making e-bikes more accessible and practical, it is hoped that they can be a viable alternative for daily commuting, especially in large cities, where traffic is more intense.
