Dear Fiido User
On April 3rd, since we've received the faulty frame report from US user on Fiido X E-bike Owners Group (Official), all official sales of Fiido x have been suspended immediately. We've paid high attention with this issue and started the investigation and arranged more stringent tests for Fiido X in Fiido R&D lab. The fault occurs again on April 7th, Based on the fact that this failure is a serious security issue, we informed all X users at once and urged all X users to stop using X provisionally.
As of April 13, 2022, Fiido officially launches the recall and upgrade of all Fiido X folding electric bike which manufactured between September 2021 and March 2022, a total of 2,989 units. (including unit from IGG sales channel, official website sales channel and authorized distributors sales channel).
After the investigation by Fiido R&D laboratory, the cause of the problem was discovered as below:
1. The folding structure is not strong enough to stand long-term use in complex situations.
2. Defects in packaging design result in the risk of damage in the transportation.
Considering various factors, Fiido team upgraded the folding structure of the Fiido X frame that aim at the weak area of the frame to ensure the product safety of Fiido X and reduce potential risk. The process and result of the upgrade and test will be released simultaneously.
The new Fiido X frame will be fully upgraded and more rigorously tested with twice the EN15194 certification standard to avoid a similar situation from happening again.
The specific recall arrangement including free recall services and corresponding user protection plan has been released to all X users on April 12, 2022. Fiido official after sales service team will directly contact all affected customers advising them to make an appointment with support team.
