ADO AIR 20 PRO

I am exited, because of the ado air 20 pro with the automatic gear change motor from Bafang.

Hi, we've just got our two ADO Air 20 Pros and did some first test rides. The bikes' look is fantastic and the built quality seems to match it. The ride is very comfortable and the Bafang motor works very well. I still have to get used to not having a proper gear shift but for our purpose - commuting - it's fine and relaxed. However two issues popped up for which I haven't found an answer on the www yet. Firstly, I could not find the information on how many kilometres/miles are left on the battery charge during a ride. This information is quite critical as I don't want to run out of battery on my commute. Secondly, we bought range extenders in form of a water bottle. It comes with a very nice and sturdy "bottle" holder. Unfortunately the ADO Air 20 Pro does not have screw sets incorporated into the frame though screws are included. The cable straps also included in the package are of good quality but the form of the frame does not allow a tight fit. The bike is great if only I had a solution for these two issues. Hope this review is of good use for potential buyers as well as for your product developer. Thanks and best regards, Stephan

Just received (as one of the first buyers) my brand new ADO AIR Pro, it has been arrived almost complety installed, metal fenders, metal rack, very good hydraulic brakes, big size battery for a folding bike (350 Wh in seatpost)
The complete bike is build with an impressive quality, absolutely stable, top anthracite varnish. Any ride is an enjoyment. Most awesome for me is the gearbox inside the motor. Originally the Ado Air is a single speed, but the PRO has a two shift gearbox. when it reaches 19.5 km/h it shifts into 2nd gear, and falls back to 1st gear by roughly 16 -17 km/h. This works really reliable and smooth, it makes me able to have a lower cadence at higher speed. I am really impressed on this innovation from Bafang. Never had seen this before.
I am really impressed of ADO AIR PRO, and 100% satisfied.

Being in my seventies I wanted the assistance of an Ebike, I made the right decision with the Ado air 20 Pro, loving the assist on hills I would of struggled with.
I have changed the saddle as again being older I need more cushion.
All round great bike, yet to try lifting it into the car but as the battery post is easily removed to lighten the lift it should not be a problem.

Das Fahrrad ist gut verarbeitet, elegant geformt und erfüllt alle versprochenen Eigenschaften.
Durch 2 Dinge wird der Fahrspaß beeinträchtigt:
1. Der Hinterbau einschließlich Sattel ist völlig ungefedert. Auch kleinste Unebenheiten schlagen in den Rücken. Übliche Sattelfederungen (z.B.Trapez) sind wegen der Akkustütze nicht einbaubar. Abhilfe haben eine Federdrahtfeder und ein gefederter Sattel gebracht. Die Alltagstauglichkeit und die Freude am Fahren wurde dadurch wesentlich erhöht.
2. Das Fahren ohne Elektrounterstützung ist außerordentlich schwergängig. Ich hoffe, dass ich niemals ohne Elektrounterstützung fahren muss.

I ordered the bike and the money disappeared from my account but the bike never arrived within the given time frame. After I finally got a reply to my emails, I was told that the bike was out of stock but would be back in stock and shipped by the end of the week. Surely it would be easy enough to state whether the item is in stock or not on the web site?
The bike though, I am quite pleased with, it does everything I expected of it. There are one or two minor gripes though. The handbook I received is for the Air 20 but I have the Air 20 Pro, so some information applicable to the Pro model is non existent. There are no instructions on how to operate the lights etc. on the screen, you have to find out for yourself. My last point is that it is disappointing that the readout on the screen is only in metric. Call me old fashioned but I still work in miles, not kilometres, like the rest of the UK.
On the whole though I am pleased with the bike.

Nach fast drei Wochen Wartezeit ist das Fahrrad nun endlich eingetroffen. Natürlich ohne Benachrichtigung durch die Spedition. Das Fahrrad ließ sich leicht zusammenbauen und macht qualitativ einen guten Eindruck. Den Punktabzug gibt es für den katastrophalen Versand und die Kommunikation.

First of all, I initially purchased the Air20 and unexpectedly the day after, Ado announced the new Pro version with added features that in my opinion make this bike unique. The customer service was very supportive and helped me a lot through the porcess of upgrading my order to the new version. A million thanks for that!
Now hands on, what can I say, the Bike looks gorgeous and way above my expectations, built with care and premium materials. It is an extremely pleasant ride! silent, comfortable, swift and excellent handling on every situation. Special mention to this new engine. It is trully cappable against slopes just as advertised, it can deal with anything effortless. A big surprise! Thanks for creating such an amazing product.

Excellent bike

L’Ado Air 20 est un vélo extraordinaire, il m’a jusqu’à présent permis d’effectuer près de 2500 Km sur tout type de chemin de relief et par tous les temps. Je suis en général chargé voyez plutôt ! L’assistance électrique n’est pas utilisée en continue, cela ne pose aucun problème tant il a été bien étudier et relativement bien équilibré du point de vue rapport. Ce modèle ne possède en effet, qu’une seule vitesse. Je possède une moto électrique que j’ai totalement délaissée depuis que j’utilise l’Ado Air 20 avec lequel je prends énormément de plaisir à voyager. Je n’ai pas de points négatifs à relever, pour son prix, vous obtenez un vélo fiable très agréable en toutes circonstances. J’ai apporté à ce vélo des modifications qui me semblaient justifiée par l’usage intense que j’en fait (phares, selle, suspension de selle, arrimage de caddie). Pour la grande majorité des gens, il sera au top tel que reçu ! A mon humble avis, peu de personne, font avec un vélo 20’’ pliant, 2500 km en moins de six mois ! Je tiens également à souligner le professionnalisme du service après-vente, qui n’a pas hésité à me remplacer le premier vélo reçu, qui comportait une anomalie pour laquelle leur responsabilité n’était pas clairement établie. En résumé, si vous chercher un vélo fiable, agréable, à acheter auprès d’une équipe réactive et compétente, n’hésitez pas. Pour ma part, je lorgne déjà leur nouveau modèle.
