There’s a good reason why many high-end, performance-oriented bikes are made from carbon fiber. This reinforced polymer material is lightweight and strong but not completely rigid. When used correctly, carbon fiber bikes typically have quick acceleration, a high degree of agility, and a comfortable ride.
When used incorrectly, they sound cool and look nice, but that’s about it.
The term “carbon fiber” has been an increasingly popular buzzphrase in the e-bike industry in recent years, with some brands going out of their way to use the material simply to draw attention. In contrast with these cases, I’m happy to report that the Fiido Air is carbon fiber done right.
Case
in point: not only did the Air impress us with its overall design and ride feel, it’s the most affordable carbon fiber e-bike we’ve tested (at the time of writing) with a price point under $2k.
