World's First Integrated 3-Speed Auto-Shift Motor
It is always great to see Crowdfunding still alive and well with the constant flood of innovations that seem to come daily. Even more exciting is when an established company comes to market with its latest significant advancement, minimal risk, and relatively quick delivery. Enter the ADO Air 30 Series electric bike and future game-changer, featuring the world’s first BAFANG integrated 3-speed auto-shift motor.
ADO has always pushed the boundaries of innovation, combining cutting-edge technology with sleek design to revolutionize urban transportation. Over the years, it has gained the trust and admiration of e-bike enthusiasts worldwide. Here’s everything you need to know about its latest launch.
What Makes the ADO Air 30 Electric Bike Special?
The ADO Air 30 Series isn’t just another e-bike — it’s designed to set new standards for performance, convenience, and security. Here are the standout features that make it a game-changer.
BAFANG Integrated 3-Speed Auto-Shift Motor
First, let's discuss the heart of the Air 30 Series: the world-first BAFANG 250W 3-speed auto-shift motor. What does this mean for you?
Seamless Shifting: The motor adjusts to your pedaling speed automatically, ensuring a smooth ride without you having to touch a gear shifter.
Energy Efficiency: Whether on a steep incline or cruising through flat city streets, the motor optimizes power output to extend your battery life.
Ease of Use: Say goodbye to manual gear changes — hop on and enjoy the ride.
Anti-Theft GPS
Security is always a priority, especially in some of the metropolitan areas. The ADO Air 30 has built-in GPS tracking, giving you peace of mind no matter where you park your bike. If your e-bike is moved without authorization, you’ll be instantly alerted.
Bright Display and Intuitive Smartphone Application
The ADO Air 30 has an intuitive bike display and a phone application that work together to provide you with all the necessary information you need during your ride. The display shows battery life, speed, and distance traveled, while the app allows you to customize settings and track your ride history.
You will be happy to know that the display has a USB-C port, allowing you to charge your phone during a long trip.
Comfortable Seating for Long Rides
The ADO Air 30 is designed for comfort, making it perfect for long rides. The seat is adjustable to fit riders of different heights and, with a suspension seat post, is made to withstand the occasional bumpy ride. Adding front and rear suspension would have been nice, but this bike primarily focuses on urban riding.
Stealthy Appearance & Portable Battery
It wasn’t long ago I wrote an article about the rise of stealth electric bikes.
The ADO Air 30 doesn’t quite fit into this category, but it makes serious strides with its sleek, minimal design. To the untrained eye, it could easily pass as a regular bike. With a portable battery that can be removed and charged separately, you can charge your e-bike wherever convenient.
Running errands or commuting? The lightweight and portable side-removal 37V battery makes charging simple. Bring it inside to charge at your convenience — no need to lug your bike around. The battery can be fully recharged in 4 to 5 hours.
Carbon Belt Drive
This feature is becoming increasingly popular. Forget messy chains and frequent maintenance. The carbon belt drive system is durable, quiet, and completely maintenance-free, perfect for casual riders and daily commuters.
Torque Sensor
The intelligent torque sensor reads your pedaling force and adjusts motor assistance for a natural cycling experience. It’s responsive, smooth, and makes every ride feel effortless.
Safety Features
What bike would be complete without safety features? The ADO AIR 30 has front and rear LED lighting for nighttime riding. The illumination is automatic and will come on at the first sign of dusk.
The rear brake light also houses the right and left indicators, as the ADO Air 30 also has turn signaling.
As crucial as being visible is, being able to stop is just as important. ADO's bike includes capable hydraulic disc braking.
Additional Features
I would be remiss if I didn’t call out the included storage rack. The ADO comes in pretty high on the scale of well-designed/constructed racks.
Range: The ADO AIR 30 can travel up to 100km (62 miles) on a single charge, making it an excellent option for daily commuters or those who want to explore their city without worrying about running out of battery.
Speed: With a top speed of 25km/h (15.5mph), the ADO AIR 30 is classified as a Class II electric bike, meaning it can be ridden on bike lanes and city streets without special licensing or insurance. This makes it a convenient and accessible option for all types of riders.

This e-bike isn’t just built for one type of rider — it’s designed to match the lifestyles of various people. Here’s who will benefit most from the ADO Air 30 Series:
