10:00 conclusion, who’s it for?

Heat. Heat. [Music] Ado is celebrating 2 years of its air series with a fresh new addition to the lineup. Yep, that is a new version of their urban folding ebike. The standout upgrade. It now features an automatic 3-speed motor set to make urban rides a lot more smoother. This is the all-new upgraded ADO Air20 Ultra. Honestly, this bike feels purpose-built for real city life. The daily hustlers, the last minute dashers, and anyone who’s awkwardly wrangled a bike onto a packed train during rush hour. It’s lightweight, folds up quickly, and now comes with Bafang’s automatic 3-speed motor, which is certainly set to be a gamecher. But the asking price isn’t cheap. So the burning question is, is this product truly worth that asking price? Well, let’s first start by unboxing it. Now, unboxing the Air20 Ultra is actually a pretty satisfying experience, so I won’t spend too much time on this. Everything’s neatly packed, and it’s clear ADO put some thought into the presentation. Most of it comes preassembled, so setup is pretty straightforward. It’s just a case of unfolding it and getting rid of the protective material. Now, let’s take a look around the bike first and highlight some of the upgrades. First impressions, the design feels really wellought out. The 20 Ultra doesn’t scream ebike in that bulky, overbuilt kind of way. It actually looks pretty sleek and minimal. The matte finish gives it a modern, almost premium vibe, and the internal cable routing keeps everything tidy and clean. The magnesium alloy frame is by far the thing I like the most. It is super lightweight, but doesn’t feel cheap or fragile by any means. You can tell it’s been built to handle daily use and the constant demand of unfolding over and over again, because that really is the main point of this bike. It’s built for daily commuters for sure. The hinges and locking mechanisms all feel solid and click right into place with some reassuring confidence. There’s a simple main hinge in the middle of the frame that has a solid locking latch that clicks with a decent amount of force. It’s a fairly intuitive mechanism, but it does take a bit of pressure to engage and release, so do keep that in mind, but getting this down to a carrying form factor is very simple. The handlebar stem also folds down neatly. And while it might feel a bit stiff the first couple of times, it quickly becomes second nature with a little practice. Once everything’s folded, the bike becomes impressively compact. Certainly perfect for slipping into tight spaces or carrying onto public transport. But here’s the honest bit. There’s no latch, magnet, or clasps to keep the folded halves locked together, which certainly can make it a little awkward to carry. A small strap, or built-in clip would have made a big difference here, but this is just me nitpicking. Overall though, the folding mechanism feels like it’s been well engineered for realworld use. It makes this thing really easy to carry around compared to other models I’ve used in the past. At around 18.5 kg, it’s definitely lighter than many other folding ebikes out there, thanks largely to that magnesium frame. Now, the 20 Ultra comes fitted with 20-in tires, which certainly strike a nice balance between nimble handling and enough surface area for overall comfortable rides. These tires aren’t super skinny racing slicks. They’ve got a decent tread pattern that provides good grip on wet or uneven surfaces. From my experience, the ride is pretty smooth for a folding ebike. These tires absorb a fair bit of bumps and cracks you encounter daily, so you don’t feel every little imperfection under you. They’re not quite as cushy as bigger balloon tires on some other city bikes, but that’s probably the tradeoff for the folding convenience and keeping the bike light and compact. On the topic of feeling bumps, this model doesn’t have traditional full suspension like you might find on mountain bikes or some other city ebikes, but that’s pretty common in the folding urban category. Instead, it relies on a few smart design features to smooth out the ride, like those 20-in tires, the lightweight magnesium frame, and that carbon belt drive. That said, the Air20 Ultra does come with a lockout suspension fork, which is a nice touch. It helps absorb bumps and rough patches on city streets, making the ride more comfortable without adding much weight. You can lock the suspension out when you’re on a smooth pavement to get a firmer, more efficient ride, and then unlock it when the roads get a bit rougher. Some may never use this feature, but it is nice to have. If you’re expecting the kind of soft cushion ride you get with full suspension setups, though, this bike won’t quite deliver that. The 20 Ultra leans more towards lightweight portability and efficient city riding rather than rough terrain comfort, so taking it off-road probably is a nogo. One of the standout features of this bike is its torque sensor paired with the smooth carbon belt drive. And these two really shape how the bike feels when you’re riding it. Unlike similar cadence sensors, this just detects if you’re pedaling and then kicks in the motor. A torque sensor measures how hard you’re pushing on the pedals and adjusts the motor assistance accordingly. What this means in practice is a much more natural and intuitive ride. You don’t get that sudden jolt of power or the lag that sometimes happens with cheaper options. Instead, the motor matches your efforts. I will say if you’re starting from a dead stop or making quick accelerations, the assist can feel slightly delayed compared to cadence sensors that kick in instantly. The bike does come equipped with hydraulic disc brakes, which is a solid upgrade over basic mechanical options and a real plus for safety and control in city environments. From a user perspective, these brakes feel responsive and confident. You don’t have to squeeze hard to get a strong bite. Plus, the modulation, the ability to control exactly how much braking force you apply is much better than a mechanical disc or rim brakes, letting you slow down smoothly without jerky stops. Honestly, the brakes on this thing are really nice and responsive, and I can’t really grumble there. Now, one of the coolest upgrades on the ADU Air20 Ultra is the intrigated freede automatic motor by Buffang. This isn’t just any motor. It comes with a built-in 3-speed gearbox that automatically adjust gears based on how fast you’re going, which certainly makes a surprisingly big difference in ride smoothness and effort. There is simply no manual changing. But Fang claims this system reduces pedaling effort by around 24%. And honestly, that feels about right. You’ll notice it most on hill climbs where the motor kicks in with just the right amount of torque to take the edge off the incline. It doesn’t feel like it’s dragging you up the hill, but more like a strong tailwind is always at your back. The torque delivery is smooth, powerful, and really takes the strain off your legs when you need it the most. From my experience, the automatic shifting is a big win. Instead of the usual all or nothing power delivery you get with some ebikes, the Air20 Ultra feels more controlled and responsive. Acceleration is smoother, and the motor’s ability to adjust gears means you’re less likely to get that annoying motorbulk feeling when the bike tries to push too hard in the wrong gear. While it might take a little getting used to if you prefer manual controls or immediate power delivery, it’s a smart, thoughtful system designed for urban riders who want an easy, efficient, and controlled ride. One of the cleverest and most practical design choices of the ADU Air20 Ultra is the way the battery is fully integrated into the bike’s seat post. At first glances, you might not even notice it’s there, which is kind of the point. It keeps the overall look sleek and clean with no bulky battery pack hanging off the frame like you see on some other ebikes. You can slide it out, take it indoors, and plug it into a standard socket with no need to lug the entire bike into your flat or hunt down an outdoor charging point. As for performance, while the exact range depends on how you ride, road conditions, weather, and weight load, I typically got around 40 to 50 mi on a single charge. That’s using a mix of assist levels and some throttle on hilly terrain. Not babying the battery, but not going full blast the entire time either. In throttle mode, you’ll see the range drop more into the 25 to 30 mile range zone, especially if you’re using it heavily on hills or without pedaling much. In pedal assist or low or moderate level, you’ll comfortably get closer to the upper end of the range, especially on flatter routes. With high assist all the way, you should expect something closer to 30 to 35 mi, which is still pretty respectable. So, who is the AU Air20 Ultra really for? Honestly, it’s perfect for city commuters and urban riders who want a folding ebike that’s smart, reliable, and packed with thoughtful features. Is it worth the asking price, though? Well, it’s definitely not the cheapest option out there, but you’re paying for quality in engineering. You’ve got solid components like the hydraulic disc brakes and a carbon belt drive, not to mention advanced tech like the torque sensor and that automatic gearbox. For riders who value convenience, build quality, and that seamless ride experience, it’s a strong contender. As always, be sure to check this product out in the link in the description.
