A quick addition: Like many cheap ebikes, only a front light is wired to a handlebar mounted switch. I got one of the cheaper 2 wire rear lights from Amazon and cut off the plug. I traced back the cable from the front light then used a couple of 'clip-on' T-connectors to add the new light in...

Still riding this thing, though just for irregular recreational use. Found a new bag for the square cross bar that has a built-in bottle holder! Latest change is the Loop Handlebars, a low cost version of a Jones bar. That made a huge difference in the riding position and much more comfortable...

I have one of the cheaper thumb throttles with barely any effect between off and full. Would a 'better' thumb throttle have a more gradual effect? Any recommendations?

Think of a wheel as components; hub, spokes, rim and tire. Any good cycle shop should be able to source the parts and build any wheel you specify.

After trying the brakes on a few hills, the rear 160mm proves to be ineffective and dangerously weak. I'll have to put a 203mm rotor on the back wheel. The power of motor hides the extra weight of the bike... but you remember in a hurry when you try to brake while going downhill! 😲

There are some suspension-dropper posts around. Though I'm still getting used to a (non-suspension) dropper post and keep forgetting to lower it when stopping! 🚲

There is a thread somewhere about what truck do you put your bike in. This is my truck, 😏

Went from a 160mm to a 203mm rotor on the front. Left the rear at 160mm. Is there a danger of the fork snapping at the crown??!!??!? 🤔

The lever fits conveniently on the left.

Dropper fitted! Now I don't fall over every time I stop! 😄

I've folded the bike and put it in the car several times. I don't miss the folding stem at all. It's actually a bit easier to man-handle with a fixed handle bar. Seen a few videos where the stem and bar is replaced with a BMX style bar, but I prefer the cleaner lines of the riser extension and...

Dropper post has arrived, just waiting for a shim to fit 31.6mm to the enormous 33.9mm of the M1. It's a Brand-X with a 125mm drop, internal wiring and lever included.

You have the best kept garage I've ever seen! 😄

LOL, not in the Fiido forum. :)

This is the result. next project: a dropper post maybe?

All that height meant the front brake cable needed to be longer. and it is now routed in front of the fork.

I could not find a new folding stem they were all quill fitting, like the original is. So I'm forgetting about folding and just going with a steerer extension (and another 50mm in height!)

That's also means going from threaded to threadless and sealed bearings. Just a cheap headset from Amazon, 44mm cups. for the straight 1 and 1/8 steerer.

The new fork is a very cheap 26" 120mm Air fork with rebound. It's replacing the Fiido '20 x 4' 50mm?? sprung fork. The new fork (orange stantions) adds at least 100mm height to the front end! ...and is half the weight of the original fork. I'm used to road and hybrid bikes and not seeing the...
