Questions people ask about the Hidoes F3
How much does it weigh?
The Hidoes F3 weighs 34.5 kg. That is 1% above the median for its type, so it is about average. You will feel the weight when lifting it, but it is not unusual for an e-MTB.
How much torque does it have?
The motor torque is not listed. Many e-bikes in this class have 80 Nm, but the F3 does not publish a figure. Without that number, you cannot compare its climbing power directly.
What speed class is it?
It is a standard pedelec class. That means the motor assists up to 25 km/h. You can pedal faster, but the motor will stop helping beyond that speed.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 26 km of range. MathBikes estimates 36 km, based on a reference ride. That estimate is 38% below the claim, so you should expect less than the advertised figure.
The estimate comes from a formula that uses battery capacity and a standard ride profile. It is not a test result. Use the range calculator to see how different conditions change the estimate.
What does it cost to run?
The purchase price is 696 USD, which is low for its type. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. The battery is smaller than average, so charging it costs less per full charge, but you may charge it more often.
Use the cost calculator to compare long-term costs with other bikes.
Where it falls short
The Hidoes F3 makes a clear trade-off: it saves you money but limits your range. The battery is 26% below the class median, and the estimated range is 27% below. If you need to cover long distances, this bike will not get you there.
Who should buy it
The Hidoes F3 is for riders who want an affordable e-MTB for short commutes or local trails. It is also a good choice if you are new to e-bikes and want to keep the initial cost low.
- You ride less than 36 km per trip and can charge at home or work.
- You want a standard pedelec that feels like a regular bike with assist.
- You are on a tight budget and accept fewer features for a lower price.
Look elsewhere if you need long range or high torque. The F3 does not publish torque, and its range is below average. Riders who carry heavy loads or tackle steep hills should consider a bike with a larger battery and a known torque figure.
