The Fiido E Gravel C22 does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Fiido Air Carbon is the one to justify not buying.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Fiido E Gravel C22 costs about 861 EUR less to own, once purchase, charging, servicing, a battery replacement where one is due, and resale are all counted.

That figure moves mostly on the battery. The Fiido Air Carbon covers about 32,747 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Fiido E Gravel C22, about 32,747 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
