One of the lasting pandemic effects on the bicycle industry is increased awareness and embracing of this recreational activity. People across the world embraced cycling which led to a boom in the eBike market. However, as any experienced cyclist will tell you, not all bikes are made equal. Often, manufacturers will utilize lower-grade components to hit an artificial price point. We believe that this cost-first mindset is detrimental to our customers, which is why we’re breaking down the differences between the Fiido T2 Longtail Cargo eBike and other top brands.
Are there many differences between our new model and other eBikes? In a word, yes. The Fiido T2 Longtail Cargo eBike beats out the competition in four big (and highly important) areas: overall safety, technological integrations as well as improvements, maximized performance, and of course a world-class construction.
Let’s look closer at each of these in more detail.
Our focus is on safety
Bicycle safety has come a long way since the 1980s. For Generation X, Xennials, and Millennials, simple things such as wearing a helmet while riding were not top of mind. As the importance of protecting our bodies grew within our societal collective consciousness, so did the importance of specifications and bicycle designs specifically geared — pun intended — at improving safety.
We use some world-class components, far superior to other similarly priced models. Those include four-piston hydraulic brakes along with a 230mm disc. These are far more effective at stopping than the older-style compression rim brakes of years gone by — not to mention, what you’ll often find from other brands.
Since this is an electric bike, we decided to go the extra mile and include a brake taillight. We dare you to name any major bike manufacturer that includes this as a standard feature!
As this is a cargo bike, another important feature is the inclusion of a kickstand. Because this is primarily a commuter bike, we recognized that something as simple as a kickstand should be standard — unlike other brands that make you pay more for this basic accessory.
Improved technologies
Have you ever had a battery die on you without warning? It puts you in a difficult bind, and this is even more true when riding an eBike. That’s why we have focused so much on our range. With a UL2271-certified battery capable of 998wh, you won’t ever have to worry about not having enough juice to power through your commute. We dare you to find a similarly spec’ed bike that offers even remotely the same capacity! You simply won’t find a better ROI for your value.
And, with our tight Mate Watch integration, you’ll have all the stats and details you need to stay on top of both your health and your cycling efficiency. This includes our Fiido App and full-color LCD connections, providing you with a fully integrated experience from start to finish.
Maximizing performance
After all, this is an efficient beast! We say that without any sense of overselling, as many bike enthusiasts like to compare their ride to the idea of riding a horse in the 1800s. So, let’s just go with it as we look at the different ways this new model beats out the competition.
We offer an astonishing 750W motor with unlockable speeds up to 28mph (or 45kmh). For comparison, this means you would technically be going over the speed limit in some residential communities — it’s that fast! Plus, we include Shimano 7S shock absorbers by default, allowing you to even dive into some off-road gravel adventuring.
A construction that cannot be beat
Talk to any serious cyclist and they’re sure to bring up the importance of a quality frame. This, as an extension, includes the bike’s fork.
We include an alloy option as standard with 60mm of travel. And yet, with all of the built-in features, the weight of the T2 comes in at less than 40 kilos — battery pack and all! And to top it off, we throw in a Velo saddle custom-designed for city riding, giving you the ultimate in fit, comfort, and functionality.
“But wait, isn’t this a cargo bike?”
You’re absolutely right! Consider this a fifth bonus category where we’re taking cycling to a whole new level. eBikes have come a long way in recent years. They started with commuter bikes, expanding to mountain and gravel bikes as more and more cyclists looked for the added boost an eBike provides while riding.
So, let’s talk about cargo! The Fiido T2 can carry upwards of 200kg or 440 pounds of weight. This exceptional payload allows you to carry whatever you need to without worrying about breaking the frame.
Plus, we carry a full line of accessories that will work great with the Fiido T2 Longtail Cargo eBike, including 12 various options tailored to your specific needs. From rear and front mounting baskets to various frame bags, our upcoming model is perfect for anyone needing to haul groceries, supplies, or just about anything else from place to place.
As a quick example, we carry a pannier bag specific to our Titan. As we get closer to the launch date for our newest cargo eBike addition, we’ll be sure to keep our readers apprised with T2-specific accessories. But for now, you can use any of our standard equipment on this new model.
