Fiido is launching a revised version of its popular folding bike in 2025 – the Fiido D11 (2025). What once began as a crowdfunding project has developed into a serious player in the compact e-bike segment. The latest iteration remains true to the original idea: to offer a foldable, lightweight e-bike suitable for everyday use that is geared towards real user needs – only this time with even more comfort, performance and smart technology.
- Only 5 seconds folding time with compact dimensions of 840 × 400 × 740 mm and 19.5 kg weight
- Hydraulic disc brakes for improved control and safety
- 417.6 Wh battery in the seat tube, removable and with a range of up to 86 km
- Torque sensor for natural, dynamic support when riding
Design meets everyday life: light, compact and reduced to the essentials
The design concept of the Fiido D11 2025 shows that good product design should not be overloaded, but rather precisely thought out. The characteristic M-shaped aluminum frame remains – not only for recognition value, but also because it offers high stability and low weight at the same time. Weighing just 19.5 kilograms, the D11 is easy to carry, for example in stairwells or when boarding a train. When folded, it is barely larger than a carry-on suitcase, which makes transportation on public transport much easier.
The folding mechanism has been further optimized: In just five seconds, the bike transforms into a compact package. A simple but stable locking mechanism ensures that the frame stays securely together even when folded – no rattling, no slipping. The redesigned position of the kickstand also improves stability when the bike is parked when folded. This means that the D11 is not only well thought out as a means of transportation, but also as an everyday companion.
Improved ergonomics and more control on every ride
One of the most noticeable innovations concerns the ergonomics: the new riser handlebar replaces the flat version of the previous model. The result is a more upright sitting position, which relieves strain on the shoulder and neck muscles, especially on longer journeys – a wish frequently expressed by previous D11 users. The seat height can also be flexibly adjusted between 81 and 124 cm, covering rider heights from 155 to 195 cm.
The D11 2025 also features important technical upgrades: instead of a simple cadence sensor, a torque sensor now provides much more sensitive pedal assistance. The motor power is dynamically adapted to the actual pedal force, resulting in a more natural and direct riding experience – ideal for inner-city riding with frequent stops and starts.
The new hydraulic disc brakes, which now replace the mechanical brakes, are a major step forward. They show their strengths particularly in wet conditions or on downhill gradients: they are more powerful, can be better controlled and require less maintenance – a real safety advantage in urban environments.
Everyday features that make the difference
It’s not just the riding dynamics that have been revised – the D11 2025 also impresses in everyday use with well thought-out details. The removable seat post battery with a capacity of 417.6 Wh is a highlight: instead of having to lug the entire bike to the power socket, all you have to do is remove the battery and charge it conveniently at home or in the office. A full charge takes around 7 hours, which is ideal for overnight charging cycles.
According to the manufacturer, a range of up to 86 kilometers is possible in ECO mode – which is well above the market average in this device class (usually 50-60 km). The rest of the equipment is also suitable for everyday use: a 7-speed gear system from Shimano ensures the right gear ratio in every situation, while a bright LED light system ensures visibility in the dark. Thanks to IP54 certification, the bike remains ready for use even in light rain, supported by full-surface mudguards that protect clothing and technology from splashing water.
Interesting for purists: Fiido deliberately dispenses with a throttle lever on the 2025 model. This not only improves legal compliance in many countries, but also enhances the natural riding experience, which is achieved through the combination of torque sensor and manual shifting.

Conclusion: The new benchmark for compact e-bikes?
The Fiido D11 (2025) is a clear further development of a successful concept. It has been improved in all the right places: more ergonomics, better braking performance, smarter sensor technology and a greater range. Particularly impressive is the high suitability for everyday use thanks to the low weight, compact folding technology and removable battery.
At an introductory price of €999 (instead of the regular €1,299), the D11 2025 is a convincing option for anyone who wants to be flexible in the city or on the last mile between bus, train and work. With two color variants – Meteor Gray and the limited Deep Gray Edition – as well as a two-year warranty, Fiido offers a package that is not only practical, but also visually and functionally impressive.
