Hidoes B10 vs Hidoes BF1

Where each one wins

• Hidoes B10 is 20 Nm more torque.
• Hidoes B10 is 5 km/h faster.

The Hidoes BF1 does not lead on a single measured axis here. That does not make it the wrong bike, but it does mean the Hidoes B10 is the one to justify not buying.

What each one costs to own

Over 5 years the Hidoes BF1 costs about 230 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 Hidoes B10 covers about 33,280 km before its pack is due for replacement; the Hidoes BF1, about 33,280 km. Ride less than that and the replacement never enters the sum.

Verdict
