Thanks
I bought this bike two weeks ago, hardest part is to get it out of a box, easy to put together. I do 31 miles an hour even on a gentle, uphill, it’s awesome, love it.
Glad you are enjoying it
Please: HOW do you loosen the screw that holds the gear-shift thing on.
I'm trying ti shift it up, towards me, the screw holding it on won't budge, I'm afraid to strip it.
HELP.
Did you get 750w or 1200w
@@lmfao-og9bk all I know it it’s 42 V, it came with a charger. The Amazon price was $860, today they even cheaper, definitely worth the price, goodvalue.
@@freedomofreligion3248 it's small it won't strip
I just wanna say I am most likely going to buy this because of your video. I was thinking about getting a car to use for commuting to work but how real you are about everything I definitely think this is an option for me.
Check out the bonc J1 looks like a regular bicycle
Does not look like an electric bike at all and it has pedal assist as well
The battery is hidden in the bike and you can get a back up battery for extra mileage that sits in the bottle holder and looks like a sports bottle
It's a very smooth ride and worth it I think.
Another thing about petals is they are good in case your battery dies out, better than pushing
Yayyyy flowers
i'll tell u rn its pretty hard to pedal a 80lb fat tire ebike when its dead. especially since this bike doesnt have adjustable seat, that height sucks to pedal.
Dude pedals are there for a reason....keeps it a ebike in some places
Be quite nigga, cant let people have fun
Theyre useless
You are 100%. It's just to make it legal without license and tags. Florida if it doesn't have pedals you are required to register it.
@@LilXancheXyou missed the point entirely. If it did not have pedals you would be required to obtain a motorcycle license in some jurisdictions.
@@LilXancheXyou're just about as useless, if not more. Read what he said.
I just bought the Ridstar H20 which has the same 1000watt (actually I got the 1200 watt version) motor and 20 inch wheels but has a folding bike frame since I need a folding bike to fit in the back of my Sprinter van. I’m hoping it has similar performance to the Q20. It would be cool if you could do a review and comparison of the two.
Mine came Wednesday, I had already bought new red pedals for it and I painted that pegboard thing red I got some really cool looking red brake arm covers a couple of red decals for the forks and the battery I scrape that ridstar off, also bought a stem extender which raised the bar about 5 1/2 in. Which is very awesome I hated to be hunched over so far I should just buy some big BMX bars we'll see, it's been raining here pretty much all week I haven't been able to ride it but I got a window of about an hour yesterday, took a ride and got caught in a massive storm coming home I was really worried about the water but seem to be completely fine, I topped out at 31 mph and that was into the wind, everything here at the beach is flat so I don't get many Hills, I did about 13 miles, I'm taking it out now to drain the battery and tomorrow I'm going to go all day see what I get on one charge, very long post I apologize but anybody thinking about getting this bike it is absolutely beautiful and fun and if you add some stickers or extra color components to it it's even cooler, I'm not a big fan of red but I figured with the red brake pads I would go red and black and it really looks awesome, I would suggest this bike to anybody looking for a cool little motorcycle type it's really comfortable also. and I'm 6 ft , 240 lbs, got 100 off on Amazon paid 1040 total, slime, or flat out ur tires, give u that xtra protection
How did you scrape the name off the battery?
@@ampedcycle it was on really crooked anyway, so I took one of my big pocket knives and just scraped it gently and then took a scouring pad and cleaned it up good and I put a couple big fire looking stickers on the other side to match my Forks stickers actually looks very cool
Can you wheelie it?
can you drop the link for the stem extender?
Very well made video ❤
Pedals are for legal reasons. Most states dont require registration if it has pedals. Some states also require 20mph which is why there are selectable modes.
I've had my Q20 for about 2 months now. Couple things to consider, the speedometer is off by about 2 mph. The manufacturer has no consistency of the motors that they use, I took a motor part number survey in a different TH-cam comment section and not a single two had the same part number. Some people can reach 30 miles per hour, while others can only go 26 mph, 20ah version. I recommend everybody with one of these to use GPS to confirm the actual real speed you're going. Originally mine stopped at 28, but was actually 26 mph when verified with the MPH GPS app. The manufacturer sent me a different motor and speed controller, now mine will do 30 mph, but does feel like it lost a little bit of torque.
Change your wheelsize from 24 to 22. That should fix it 👍
@@alveend8551I've already played with a tire size for getting a speedometer more accurate. But it won't help the original motor to have enough power to reach it's advertised 30 mph.
what about the q20 pro with dual motors?
Do you know who makes the motor?
@@brianpacheco1927I've had a total of two motors, neither one of them had a brand name on it. I also took a survey of part numbers in a different TH-cam video, and nobody had the same part number. It appears they just throw in whatever motor is available at the time.
Thanks man, I'm getting this next week so I just needed to check
My thinking to a tea😂
Yes.
hey how has it been holding up? battery still good? any problems? update plzzzz 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
@lolae.4562 everything works just as good as the first day I got it
Pedals are definitely important if your trying to go more than 25 miles before you need to stop and charge for 4 hours lol .. but i guess it depends what your using for
And it allows it to be in bike lane
Those trails look very familiar, Illinois style
Amazon has it on special for $649 but $300 shipping
Ends up being about the same price. I think they just test out lower pricing but jack the shipping price up
@@ampedcycle correct market research what customers believe is a better deal
@@misterlonestar It's crazy how many consumers fall for simple gimmicks like that.
@@misterlonestar no warranty though
I finally ordered one yesterday! I took the plunge and it comes in 2 or 3 days, super excited! 😁 I consider this my starter Ebike, and it is my first Ebike. Came out to about $1,027
Damn they robbed you. Mine was $847 on Amazon
@@jordynivea he probably got the 20ah version and you got the 15ah one
@@jordyniveashipping alone is 300
Does this need a license to drive it ?
@@jordynivea I got mine from Amazon. $300 for shipping and it's 1000w 48ah
The pedals are for if your battery runs out and your not close to a charger or your home you can pedal instead pushing it to your house
Can you do a series of endurance trials ?
man i cant wait to get this sucker 😍 nice review yo
I was set on buying the Q20 but started reading reviews from people who got slower versions. You just dont know what combination of motor and speed control your getting. In the end I found a used ariel rider on craigs list and couldnt be happier.
No one regrets buying the Q20.
I'm gonna buy one right now over night because of your video ..and the same 48v 20ah is now $649 plus $300 shipping the only thing I want to ask before I do to compare from the time you made this video 7 months ago g how is the non Samsung battery today on that bike. You mention they cut cost on that part so how is the battery charging and running after 7 months thanks for any feed back
Insane shipping
As of 11/5/23 Amazon price $999 including $200 delivery. Nice bike but, as you and some commenters noted, a little sketchy on the details.
Very good vid.
I just bought mine yesterday for $899. That includes the shipping and taxes. Mine is only a 15AH battery. Max speed is supposed to be 25mph. I get it in a week
@@DanielS784 in the late spring of 2022 I paid almost double that for a bike with similar specs. Supply and demand, baby. Hope it works for you.
its at 649 now
@@spoopyac3plus 300 shipping
Just wondering do you know how long the battery takes to drain? I’m gonna drive it around town and I don’t want it to lose charge really quickly
I've got it with a total other display. Anyhow, I've topped it off on 25km per hour in the city. Because we get fines of 190 euro's for having the settings above and 290 euro fines for the gas throttle. Does anyone know how to lock and unlock the settings?
Is there a higher quality battery replacement that I could get for it? Just want to make sure it doesn’t burn down my house or anything.
Any idea how long the life of the battery lasts? Also, do you know how much a replacement battery costs?
loving it
Once I get mines I’m not putting the pedals on lol I’ll prefer not it looks better without or I’ll replace the pedals with Crank Brothers Eggbeater 3 Pedals I think that’ll look so much better
All I here is great things about this bike ima pick one up what’s the weight requirement for this
The back brake is on the right side you need to take it off and put it on the left side so you can practice wheelies if you want all the e-bikes come like that, I have to do is take the wire out and switch them over guys
As far as going on the dirt I'm staying on the road especially with that front axle,
Does anyone know how long it goes if you use the assist instead of throttle
Hmmm... idk... it looks cool, but when you get down to it goes 30 mph but max throttle distance is 25 miles... meaning you only go full speed for less than an hour?
Oh you did have it laid down when you took it out I don't see why you had a problem getting out of the box I would just like to know how it's doing now after 8 months
Finally n E-bike reviewer whos idea of "Affordable" isn't more than a months mortgage
Hey, I wanted to ask if anybody has had any trouble riding this bike in the US? Im living in Connecticut and my understanding is that its not allowed to go around with ebikes that have more than 750w, which means this model wouldnt be allowed. Has anybody put this to the test here?
Love it！
I kinda wanna buy it for secondary bike a got magic deer min 750w but I wanna do wheels on it so
Does anyone have their contact ?? I just received this bike today. And I’m missing the headlight components that attach to the bike!! Hopefully I’m not missing other components!!!!
good bike to use for going to work no more pedals and getting tired it also looks cool
Great review but idk about un known brand this is a Popular Bike As Far As my Research has gone…
I have the exact same one. bought in the Netherlands where I also live. mine goes exactly 50 km/h. The battery lasts 40 kilometers on setting 5. Only here in the Netherlands they are strict about checking. if there is a throttle on it and you are stopped by the police. you will receive a fine of around 400 euros. and you are not allowed to drive it any further. If you are stopped again and nothing has changed, the entire vehicle will be confiscated.
They don’t mess around there
Yeah, because we actually have proper bicycling infrastructure, so some nobhead blazing past loads of normal bicycles on a fatbike is generally considered... annoying, to say the least.
They've basically replaced the moped/scooter category here, except you don't need a license, so now we've got 12 year olds going 50km/h while looking at their phones.
Lots of darwin awards are going to happen.
Saving up to buy one and switch components to make fast as surron
The pedals are there to keep it legal to ride without a license
Whats the height recommendtion for the bike ?
Can you set a speed limit on the E bike on its settings so you don’t accidentally go a certain speed?
Yes in the settings menu
Never let your battery go down to nothing and don't fill it all the way up to 100 all the time unless you're going to empty it to at least 20 and the battery will last longer so if it takes 4 hours for the light to go on just charge it for three you can Google on how to take care of an e-bike battery I did
Do you think it is to big for someone who is 5 2
You pedal it to get more mileage..... if you go 25 km a hour and pedal, you could get about 50-60 km out of it
You definitely could
@@ampedcycle im buying it now, as per youre reccomdations.....ty
I'm about 6'1" just got mine today, did about 15 miles, pedaling Is definitely very hard, for me at least, if ur shorter, would be easier, definitely get it, it's a beautiful awesome bike
Does it have amazon prime?
Can this ebike handle steep hills?
I live in a big city, and will have to chain this up outside from time to time. Can the battery be removed by just anyone? Or would the need a key or something to remove it?
You can lock the battery. Personally I would bring it in with me if I was leaving it outside for long
Cyber Monday Amazon has it for $699 now.
Ridstar translates to Riding Star. In Dutch.
No it doesn't.
Are you in the Midwest?
I want to buy but how do I service if anything goes wrong? Like tires, brakes etc
Tires are easy to find as well as inner tubes. Brakes are simple to replace pads and rotors. Any bike shop will be able to help you out.
Fck gas and insurance, the bike is true hero
What’s the max range ? And is there a dual motor and dual battery version ?
Yes there's a dual battery and dual motor version. It's called the Ridstar Q20 Pro
Im looking at their cheaper foldable version. Do you know anything about it?
Haven’t been on it but specs wise it looks similar to the q20, some models have a smaller battery
Anyone know how tall this guy is?
What's the name brand version of this bike? Great Video Bro!
Super 73, although this isn’t a 1:1 copy of any of their bikes
@@ampedcycle Thanks man!
Is it street legal in nyc?
Would this be great for doordashing In a small town ? Would it hold up ?
It would work well for that
Not that it is gibberish 😂😂😂 bro funny ash
could you still wheelie on the trottle
If you lean back a lot, Yes
Can you tell me your height?
Remember wheelies is mostly balanced you can wheelie almost anything
When you give the price you should include the full price. Bike plus shipping is the price. Not just the cost of the bike.
How do I get disc pad to buy
@@user-pk5dz2cu4g same thing with the discs they have different styles and colors you can even put on
For anyone who own a q20 change the wheel diameter to 29 and u will go 42 mph
Verify that with GPS
I know what you're doing but it's actually the smaller diameter is what you need because of the smaller diameter is turning that fast I mean the outer diameter is turning faster that means you need a smaller diameter inside your computer like 16 in or 12 but you get my point
What link did you use to purchase?
Pinned comment
Couldn’t you essentially take the chain and the pedals off and just put pegs there?
Yes , but it will need to be registered as a bike
Is that a phone holder ???? Anyone know wanna use this for my work
The one on the handle bars is a phone holder with a usb port. The included bag also is a phone holder.
what’s the shortest you could be to ride this and touch the ground
Id say ~5'7
Lil bro the point of the pedals if you go to far and it dies. No one cares if you have battery life and pedal…. No one is buying it to pedal like a regular bike:!
And to make it comply with ebike laws
Are you able to upgrade battery?
You could buy a second battery for it and wire it to the controller
I want to use this to go to school and stuff, but do you think I would need a license to use this 😅
nope it's an e bike js lock it up wit like 3 locks im not sure if in your state you do but for me nope
The price of a lot of these bikes are good until you have to pay up to $300 for shipping.
The lowest price i could find for that bike is 525-545 THAT IS NOT CHEAP 😭 people are reselling it for up to 4'5k
Where???
Where is it for $545??
@puffdope Amazon brotha. They have 3 different version on there ranging from like 549-14/1500$ 👍
Could a kid like a 14 year old ride it or is it to big for a 14 year old
Depends on height, I’d say 5 foot 7 and above
I am also 5.9 feets..
But so sad ...It is not in India 😢 + expensive for us
Might be a dumb question but can you put pegs on this😭
Haha, maybe but I don’t think it’s a good idea
okay bros. would you actually buy this if you had to peddle it all the time? Throttles are illegal here in Ireland and i need to peddle only. Is the peddle assist good? im hoping it has a cadence sensor so i can glide easy..
Why is shipping so high if it’s already in the US?
Well I originally thought they charged so much because they wanted to make a bit of extra margin, But I looked on fedex’s shipping calculator (FedEx has delivered every one of my bikes so far) and to ship from California to Chicago, the cheapest ground shipping is $237. These bikes usually weigh over 100lbs in the box and are a pain in the ass to move around. So for a heavy package, 2-300 dollars for shipping isn’t bad.
@@ampedcycle Appreciate the feedback bro.
Do you still ride the Q20?
Also, is it on the small side? I’m about 5’9
you funny af bro ian gon lie
whats the weight of this thing?
Around 75lbs with battery, ~65lbs without
30!!!!!!!
could 2 people fit on it?
Yeah you can but it’s tight and there’s no foot pegs for the passenger
Fenders come off,my bikes if they give me a problem
Q40 WTF!!! Why q20 vs q40???
Anyways silly name aside lmao
Can you ride this thing in the rain
Yes if it’s not to bad of rain
are teens allowed to ride these?
What is the top speed?
30 mph
How many ppl can sit on it (pause)
2 if you’re feeling adventurous
I bought mine a few months ago. It's awesome. But getting an extra battery isn't easy.
They sell batteries that you can add on. They plug right into the stock controller. B rich solution has a good video on that.
@@ampedcycle thanks I'll check it out
I want to buy this to commute to work and back but I’m 4’9 what is the height recommendation idk if I’m tall enough 😂😢
I'm 5'8 and it's still a little big for me
Is this thing really only 649 bucks?
With $250-300 shipping
Ignition? Uhm, hmmmm. Ya mean on-off?
Look like it drive smooth.
