Dirodi strives to produce bikes that are reliable, comfortable, stylish and affordable. If these characteristics strike a chord with you, read on as I review the full range of Dirodi ebikes currently available on the market.

I went out and bought a Rover + Gen 4.
Really love it, however I’m only getting up to 20km before Im down to 25% battery. (normal mode)
Faulty battery?
