The Relaxed Lifestyle
Unlike most of the electric scooters you’ll find on the market today, the Fiido isn’t imbued with power. The speed won’t set off any speed cameras & its acceleration won’t have you hanging on to the handlebars as it rockets off the start line. But to the many people that buy the Fiido Q1S, none of that is important.
The Fiido Q1S is perfect for those looking for a way of shortening straightforward trips such as going to the local supermarket, meeting friends, or generally getting around in comfort.
Features
Comfortable Riding Position
The Fiido Q1S is small in size, which makes it easy to mount and dismount, while its high-rise handlebars produce an upright riding position that is comfortable and balanced. This makes it ideal for those with limited mobility or low riding confidence.
Lightweight & Portable
The Q1S’s build quality is surprisingly high for something that only weighs 18kg. It feels stable, rigid, and well put-together, and the 18kg weight means that most riders won’t struggle to lift it around.
It is also one of the few electric scooters with folding handlebars that lie flat against the frame when collapsed, which is a feature caravanners love.
Upgradeable
The Fiido Q1S was designed to be upgraded, and while parts in Australia usually need to be imported, you’ll find that almost every part of the Fiido is interchangeable. You can fit suspension, more powerful batteries, faster motors, & much more to truly customise your ride and modify performance.
The Niche Market
The Fiido fits into a lot of gaps in the market by being a lower-powered, practical, and convenient electric scooter. The 20 kph speed is perfect for short distances around town to pick up a parcel from the post office, or get a few groceries for dinner. The included extra child seat is great for families that want to enjoy electric scooters with their younger kids without having to buy an additional e-scooter.
It became a fan favourite of older riders who have lower mobility as it is easy to mount and dismount, and its lower speeds make it easy to control. On top of that, its low 18kg weight meant it was easy to move around. In particular, many see it as a fantastic ride to stow in caravans and bring along on camping trips
A Surprise All Around
When the Fiido Q1S first landed in the Electric Kicks warehouse, we weren’t sure what to make of it. We loved the array of colours, and the extra storage & accessories included in the box were a nice touch, but it was something we’d never seen before.
That all changed once we rode it. While it wasn’t as fast as other e-scooters, it was enormous fun. We took it home on weekends and went camping, or rode it to work as a daily rider, and it quickly became one of our favourite electric scooters. The ride was comfortable and balanced despite having no suspension, and given its low weight, it was easy to transport and navigate.
If comfort, range, and practicality is more important to you in an electric scooter than speed & power, the Fiido Q1S is a fantastic little e-scooter at a very affordable price.
