Do Fiido bikes use torque or cadence sensing?

 

[Annieolnie]

Most of the Fiido's I've looked at have cadence sensors. Torque sensors are more expensive, so the companies usually make a point of telling you about it, if the bike has one.

Thanks, Annie. Your idea makes sense. (No pun intended)
I just sent Fido bikes an email asking which they use. So we should get confirmation soon.

Fiido responded that the T1 model that I'm interested in uses cadence sensing.

Fiido C21/C22/C11 Pro use torque sensing, and it makes a big difference, but not in price.

I was looking at purchasing a Fiido T1 Pro as a nice winter months beater bike, or about town bike. But that's the one question a had about it, and stopped me from buying it, Torque or cadence sensor? I sent them an email and never received a response back, so I can check that bike off my list.

Well I searched their site and it didn't say so I asked Venice AI and it came back that it's a cadence sensor. Take that for what its worth.

As a former IT guy, AI scares me but seems to be scary smart too!

Under the Fiido T1 Pro specifications they have listed as.
Sensor
"12-magnet speed sensor" so I'm assuming that's a cadence sensor. Oh well, maybe next version will get an upgrade.

Fiido finally returned my email, here is their reply. But I'm still confused with their answer.
Hello,

Thank you for contacting us.
T1 Pro is a speed sensor, can you tell us where your delivery address is?
So that we can verify the inventory and tell you the approximate delivery time.
Thank you for your kind understanding!
If you need further assistance, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Best Regards,

Sounds like they are assuming you've already bought the bike. The speed sensor they are referring to, I believe is your pedal assist sensor, which is their way of saying there is no torque sensor involved.

Thank you for clearing that up, much appreciated. I was close to purchasing one, but I can't deal with a cadence sensor for my general type of riding.

Someone on my street just bought the Velotric Fold plus, that's a lot sturdier looking than I thought, and it has the sensor switch technology.

Yup it is, my wife and I both test drove the fold 1 plus and we were both impressed with it. We both ended up buying a Velotric Breeze 1 and we really love them. I'm Just looking for a winter time knock around town/ beater bike for the PA colder weather months so I don't ruin my nice Breeze 1. I didn't really want a folding bike but the Fold 1 plus has all the features I desire, plus it comes in some stunning colors. I also really like Velotrics quality and it's available at My LBS is another big plus. I'll just wait for them to do a sale, which they do once in a while, and buy it and be done. I need to stop looking at these online delivered bikes with spotty support and service, thank you for straighten me out and showing me the correct product and getting me back on track.

Velotric has been quick to mark down my little cargo bike lately. I have a theory that they are getting ready to upgrade it to the new technology and possibly the Fold1Plus motor. I love that bike, with its bmx bars and 20 inch tires, it goes everywhere. Let's see what happens in the fall.
