Fiido D11 vs Engwe EP-2 Boost

These bikes answer different questions. Buy the Fiido D11 if you will actually lift your folder. At 19.5 kg it is 10.5 kg lighter than the Engwe — the difference between carrying a bike up to a flat or onto a train and dreading it — and it is the better-specified bike where it counts for stopping: hydraulic disc brakes rather than mechanical. Both bikes use a torque sensor, so assist scales with how hard you pedal on either — that is no longer a point of difference between them. The slim 1.75-inch tyres make it quicker and more efficient on pavement, at the cost of comfort on broken surfaces. Buy the Engwe EP-2 Boost if the bike mostly stays on the ground. Its 624 Wh battery (48V x 13Ah) holds about 49% more energy than the Fiido's 417.6 Wh, which is why Engwe can claim 120 km — though note that figure is quoted at PAS 1, the lowest assist level, so treat it as a ceiling rather than a typical ride. The 4-inch fat tyres add real comfort on cobbles, gravel and potholes, and the 150 kg payload gives you 30 kg more headroom for a rider plus cargo. Two caveats on the Engwe worth weighing: mechanical brakes on a 30 kg bike are a genuine step down from the Fiido's hydraulics, since the heavier bike is the one that needs more stopping power, and the 10-degree maximum climbing grade is modest if you live somewhere hilly. Both are 250W EU-spec pedelecs, so both assist to 25 km/h by regulation regardless of what the marketing says. Neither brand publishes every figure — where a spec is blank above, it is blank because it is not stated, not because we guessed. One availability note: the complete D11 is sold through Fiido's European and global stores and does not appear in Fiido's current US catalogue, where the closest equivalent is the fat-tire folding M1 Pro. Disclosure: we earn a commission on both brands — from Engwe through our verified 10% code (ROWER), and from Fiido through tracked affiliate links, though we hold no Fiido discount code, so there is no saving for you on the D11.
