Where each one wins

Each line above is read straight from the specification: torque, weight, payload, battery and our range estimate. Nothing here is a preference, and neither bike is being recommended over the other.
What each one costs to own
Over 5 years the Fiido D11 costs about 140 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 D11 covers about 32,747 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Fiido E Gravel C21, about 32,747 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.
| Over five years | Fiido D11 | Fiido E Gravel C21 |
|---|---|---|
| Purchase price | $799 | $999 |
| Charging | $68 | $68 |
| Servicing | $648 | $648 |

Verdict
On the measured axes the Fiido D11 is the better buy, and the Fiido E Gravel C21 needs a reason of its own: a colour, a frame, a shop you trust, a price that moves. None of those are in our numbers, and all of them are legitimate.
Range here is an estimate under one reference ride, not a measurement. Yours will differ with terrain, weight, tyres and weather, which is what the range calculator is for.
