    What’s your daily driver for commuting?

    I’ve been commuting on e-bikes for a while now. Loved my Fiido X — sleek and fun. Then I grabbed a C11 Pro, which was honestly perfect for commuting… until my wife claimed it as hers. 😂

    Wanted to switch things up a bit, so I went with the Fiido M1 Pro. The look instantly got me — this thing is massive and a total head-turner. I’ve had random people stop me just to ask about it. Bold, stylish, and just plain cool.

    After two weeks of mixed riding (commuting, hills, trails, a little off-road), here’s how it’s feeling:

    Pros:

    • Super solid build — heavy, sturdy, and smooth
    • Torque sensor makes the ride feel silky
    • Suspension + fat tires = insanely comfortable, kind of like those Chinese EVs floating over bumps better than luxury cars
    • Climbs hills no problem, even with me (110kg) on it — the 250W motor holds up surprisingly well
    • VELO seat is actually really comfy
    • Mag wheels are a nice touch — no spoke issues
    • And yeah… it looks amazing

    Quirks:

    • Needs to be unlocked every single time before riding
    • Still uses a physical key to turn on
    • When it’s not unlocked, it honestly feels kind of boring… but once you unlock it? It’s like a whole different beast — way more fun, way more responsive

    What’s your daily driver for commuting? Do you lean more toward fatbikes, city bikes, or something else?

      A normal cheap bike. I hate these sorts of e-bikes, mainly because of the absolute tools that ride them.

      Sure you’re not one though, OP.

      mag wheels sound like a bad idea for maintenance, are they somewhat stiff at least?

      I got also a Fiido M1 Pro and a Fischer EM1865 ,I use the Fischer when it’s cold outside as it’s PAS only,and the M1 Pro when it’s hot outside

      I sometimes drive both,and alternate between sometimes,or when I want a spare bike

      I would be pretty worried to relay only to that small rear shock for all my weight and bumps. Looks sketchy as heck.

      This photo is from 2017, have not taken many photos of this bike since but not much has changed besides the grips which went to long ESI grips. Still use the same on-one mary bar and have not found anything to be more comfortable. Still have the same banjo brothers pannier that is also a backpack I use and that North St. bag you see in the picture.
