Love your vids man keep em coming! 👌🏾
Thank you
Ridstar is definitely a good competitor at this price... thinking of getting it soon, great reviews
The Ridstar is a great bike. Buy it soon before the price goes up like the other 2

@@BRichSolution its been unavailable for quite some time already
@@BRichSolution is there any other site that sells the ridstar q20 for 1000 aliexpress sells for 1280 right now??
The motor is not reliable, it breaks down easily and returns are not free, if it has a problem you have to spend $300!!!
@@Sentoki_FRwhat do you mean "breaks down"? We speaking of the planetary gears, or something else?
Awsome video man im thinking about getting ridstar
Make sure to buy ridstat q20 with 20Ah battery as I heard the 15 Ah battery is not great
Hey man, I love your videos. Could you please make some videos featuring the Ouxi V8 going off-road and conducting a new speed test?
See this video at the end riding off road. th-cam.com/video/2OsjKGnsNes/w-d-xo.html. Performing a speed tests off road is difficult as there are too many variables like sand, vs dirt vs mud that would effect results
@@BRichSolution Thanks for you response but can you also do an extended video where you drive over obstacles off-road and things like that. Btw keep up the good content!
I was waiting for that comparison. Wish you had added the happyrun in the mix. 😊
IMO the happyrun ebike is below all these bikes. Its slow and not fun
@B Rich what about the Jansno x50? It's around 900
I have come to prefer the spoked wheels to the mag wheels. Lighter and easier to repair.
Nice video, wish I had seen it before buying the Engwe M20
Understandable
I love your videos... one question, does the ridstar q20 have direction lights?
No directionals on ridstar but you can add them later. Working on that solution now
Can u make a video on turn signals that hook directly on the bike's battery?
Is the Ridstar decal on the battery removable? Or is it painted on?
Removable
I have a dual battery Engwe M20. I cannot say how it stacks up to those other bikes but it is a fun bike.
Two issues with Engwe the brakes are not good and seat being short allows for little adjustment if you have to pedal
Engwe dual battery is nice but for $1500 you can buy dual battery Yolin which is faster, lighter (aluminum frame) and lots more range
th-cam.com/video/y3XJkRnppJ0/w-d-xo.html
@@BRichSolution I won the bike as part of a giveaway so it was hard to beat that price.
@@BRichSolution The seat and frame actually work well for me. I agree on the brakes. I might do an hydraulic brake upgrade.
Excellent comparison 💯👌🏾
with the ridstar, do you reckon you could easily fit two people on the one seat? Also how do the new hydraulic brakes on the Wuxi compare to the ones on the ridstar? great vid btw
Both Ouxi v8 and ridstar Q20 have the same seat that can fit 2 smaller riders. I would not want to have 2 riders for more than 1-3 miles but it is doable. The ouxi with upgraded brakes is on par with Q20 stopping but i would buy the Q20 over ouxi with bigger battery and more powerful motor for about the same price. amzn.to/43FkPV7
Just bought the Ouxi V8 for 900 euro's, it will be delivered to me beginning of next month. Cant wait to enjoy it.
congrats and great choice
Nice! How are you enjoying it?
i'v been googling for months on these cheap fatbikess but the motor power, controller, amperage, suspension or not, hydraulic disc or not all depends on the seller. i'v seen the voltsteed H9 with full suspension/hydro brakes for €949 on sale from a shop in eu. was sold out in days. i really wish the more practical fat tire cargo bikes could go this route they are still upwards of €1700 for something with a front and rear rack.
Is the ridstar Q20 available to you in EU?
@@BRichSolution . I have seen the Ridstar (1000 watt) here in EU warehouse for 1395 Euro. So that's about 1500 Dollar.
You can get it cheaper but then from China, takes two months.
I love the Ouxi, but I'm 6ft or just over, do you think I'd fit it comfortably? I'd really appreciate your opinion.
Yes 6’ tall you’ll be okay. My neighbor bought my ouxi and he is 6’1” and rides it without issue
I made my purchase, the bike is absolutely fantastic, thank you for your help. What is the small bag you have on the frame, it looks great.
@@reverendjonlawson1313any issues with durability/breakdown? Build quality?
Great video, thanks for sharing. U have a personal fav?
Out of the 3 Ridstar q20 with 20Ah battery is best value for range, speed and hydraulic brake amzn.to/3OFzVFK
Thanks Mann
Ok
Yeah the Ridstar for me it's great how I ride on the street, you asking how I ride hard , but the battery won't last that long 6 miles you see the battery drop fast but the speed is still good with the low battery life .. I got top 39 to 40 mph on it but I played with the display that's how I got it up to 39 top 40 when the battery was fully charged
What is the name from the handbag or something on the ouxi v8 at the saddle?
Rhinobag here is a link amzn.to/3qaf2JG
are you able to use the batteries on any bike you have in the video? IE..use the 20ah on one of the other bikes...or are the mounts specirfic to each bike?
Some are interchangeable some are not depending on mount
have you covered the same bike se what do you think about it?
Samebike SE is cool but priced wrong. For $1500 you can buy dual battery Yolin that has bigger batteries and its faster.
th-cam.com/video/y3XJkRnppJ0/w-d-xo.html
The bikes in this video comparison are $900-$1100.
Hi Rich, really like you're video's! Can you pressure wash the ouxi v8?
I wouldn’t pressure wash any ebike as the high pressure water could force its way into electric components like the screen, motor housing or throttle
@@BRichSolution allright thanks! But how do you clean it yourself?
Hey Rich, do you have a link for that aluminum bike that you said? I think it’s called a Youlden ????
See this video yolin eBike
th-cam.com/video/y3XJkRnppJ0/w-d-xo.html
I hope the Ridstar (tranlates to riding star in dutch) Q8 15AH is ok. @BRICH said to stay away from the 13AH. If anyone knows please tell me im buying in a few days and cant afford to get a pos. Thank you.
I received comments that the 13Ah version has different or smaller screen and maybe different controller which puts out lower amps
@BRichSolution I really hope it has a good controller. I'm not afraid to do some work but I hope to start off with a good bike & am not afraid to do some work. I hope it's OK. Thank you @BRICHSOLUTION. This man knows his stuff & has been a great help. I wish Shooters was still open in Ft. LAUDERDALE. I'd like to thank you & bring you out for a drink next time I'm down in Ft. Lauderdale. @BRich ever been to Briney's pub? I used to go to Pompano/Lauderdale every year & that's where I'd go a lot. Thank you for all your help.
Wait, so the ouxi v8 has no lock for the bike itself? Only for the battery? I must be understanding it wrong, right?
Correct, only battery locks on frame. The Engwe m20 is the same. You have to have power on the screen to use the bike
On the ridestar,, is that thin axle they give you safe cuz I seen the unboxing and it's thin not like a regular one more like a spoke ???
Its safe, the load is carried thru the outer bore not the small rod. Make sure to buy 20Ah version not the cheaper 15Ah its not worth the money
is there a bike that would be best for smaller riders but has the same performance and stats? around 5-5’3 in height
The Engwe M20 has lowest seat height and for 5-5’3” is okay
@BRichSolution PLEASE REPLY ASAP! If you had to choose between Ridstar Q20 vs. MG01 folding which would you pick and why?? Having the hardest time deciding? 🤔I want to peddle for exercise, have some steep hills too, but most flat. (5'9" 160# rider) Thanks! Will use your link if I get one.
Ridstar q20 with 20Ah battery do not buy smaller battery version. The Q20 has better speed, better range, better brake, better seat and more
@@BRichSolution I know bigger batteries and more watts is always better, but all things being EQUAL, two Ridstars, ones a Folding MG01 bike and the other Q20. Is pedalling the folding bike much easier or better than the Q20 for exercise? Also folding bikes have adjustable seat easily swapped vs. a fixed moto seat. However I'm worried the folding bikes arent as solid and STABLE at speed (from test riding a folder bike) as the moto style, but want to pedal a bike for exercise, so kinda looking for Dual purpose exercise/cruiser bike, but still want it to be Safe and Solid. 25-28 mph is fine for me. I'm thinking of swapping Bmx handlebars to a folding bike will greatly improve handling/stability/safety? Your advice is greatly appreciated... 🤔
Rich... in your opinion, which would you recommend to be your first ebike, ridstar q20 or engwe m20?
Ridstar Q20 with 20Ah battery is better value; it comes with bigger battery, hydraulic brakes, its faster, and more comfortable seat
Hey Rich, i got a c91 due to your videos. How do i make it as fast as possible. There is some kind of restriction. Its not going faster than 45 km/h.
Upgrade the controller to output 25A
@@BRichSolution you have a link for that?
:)
Does the Ridstar have a half twist throttle? The throttle always seems to be different on these bikes. What is your thoughts on the throttle for the Ridstar?
The ridestar Q20 with 20Ah battery has nice 1/2 twist throttle. I have heard in the comments the cheaper version with 13ah has different throttle and screens.
@@BRichSolution Cool, thanks man your reviews are really helpful.
where did you get the leather case? the one with the ouxi v8
Rhinowalk Bike Bag: amzn.to/3HKLF6n
This is super cool! I'm playing with the idea of the Engwe M20. As I live in the EU, I would be getting the capped version with 250W and max 25 km/h (Regulations…). I do wonder though if the EU version is the same as the US version and just software locked or if it actually has a different motor. Ie. if I were to ever move countries or regulations were to change, I could unlock it to it's full power… Any idea? Also do you know why people seem to critisize Engwe as a business?
Engwe is reputable brand. Not sure about computer caps performance at 250W; but sounds plausible
You can change the speed limit through the screen
Is there any way to add foot pegs on the ouxi? I own one but don’t know where to find and how
Pegs like this should bolt on to rear axial. amzn.to/44gUQo1
I just ordered this bike for $989 on Amazon. I also bought an EUY S4 for $1400 (25ah battery). I need 3 bikes total, for 3 adults, and need them to have similar range and terrain capabilities. We will moslty be off road on level to slightly hilly trails and sand, gravel.
Do you suggest another bike with long or double seat, with 20ah to 25+ah battery and less than $1,500? Prefer 1,000+ watt motor.
Yes, yolin ebike can’t be beat for less that $1500. Dual 22ah batteries. Get it with 52v batteries and xiongda motor (bafang motor is slower)
Bike will take 40-50 days to arrive but its worth the wait
th-cam.com/video/y3XJkRnppJ0/w-d-xo.html
Don’t buy EUY S4 its over priced and frame restricts the battery size
@B Rich thanks! you mean its weight? It's supposed to be less than 80lbs. Did they lie? Why was the HappyRun bike so bad? I can buy it for 1200 free shipping. It has 18ah batt.
The bike you suggested is now 1700.
@@thesetruths1404this is the exact decision I'm trying to make. Having them both, would you recommend the q20 or the s4?
Can you switch the back brake lever to the left hand on the rid star
yes if careful and you won't have to re-bleed
What speed dit you go for the range test on the ouxi v8
Highest PAS and max speed throttle only got 25 miles of range on the ouxi v8 on flat ground
great video...I bought a Meelod and it's a disaster...gonna exchange it for the Ouixi
Ouxi v8 or Amyet G60
@@BRichSolutionwhy not review the macfox x1
Are there any 250watt fatbikes i can purchase for eu netherlands legal use? I lie the ouxi v8 or v8 h9 (v9)
250W is low… you can restrict controller output to 250w
@@BRichSolution no but the thing is that in the netherlands an motor more than 250watts is illegal
When you change the bike can you leave it overnight, because some bikes batteries fry when you do that.
I don’t over charge my bike. If i charge over night i put charger on timer for 3-5 hrs
What are the seat heights for these bikes as well as wheelbases? Thank you
Seat heights are discussed video. 33” for 2 and 32” for Engwe M20
What about the wheelbases?
How do you unlock the top speed on the ouxi v8

Ouxi v8 do you have an ignition key? or some way to prevent my bike from being stolen.
No ignition key on ouxi except for the battery locks to the frame. You can buy a ebike lock like this: amzn.to/3JGFuBm

Ridstart on sale $405 Amazon, just ordered,,, cant wait :)
Wow $405 is great deal. Let me know if its the 15Ah battery and what changes made to lower price point
thinking about getting the ridstar q20 is it able to go in dirt trails
Make sure to buy the version with 20Ah battery. Do not buy 15 ah version as the saving is not worth it as comes with smaller battery, cheaper brakes and smaller screen

Which one would fit the shortest ? Because I can only fit 32 inch
Engwe m20 has the lowest seat and you will easily fit on seat amzn.to/3NH7RkC
I was looking at the q20, can anyone tell me are they good to pedal and are they comfortable to ride. Im 6ft.
It has a comfortable seat and you will be able to pedal if your 6’ tall.
What do you recommend me one of these to buy in Iraq roads ( bad roads ) also i’m not good in riding bicycle is it possible i can ride it depending on electric power 😂
The ridstar has full suspension and comfortable seat
@@BRichSolution unfortunately i didn’t find ridstar in Europe to ship it from there , only engwe in Europe :(
Not sure how old this video is but my ouxi v8 is different from the one they have on here. Mine is just like the ridstar. I mean they are the exact same bike really. My screen is in the center and it's the big screen. Mine also goes 31.2mph. The breaks are a little soft like he said so don't follow anyone to close but besides that really they are the same bike. I have the 750w with 1000w peak and it gets me from 0-31.2 in quiet a hurry. If I were a buyer now, I would go with which ever one has the lower price.
Yours is Ouxi v20 or H9?

Maybe it's just the camera angle, but the Engwe looks bigger than the other two.
Engwe is longer and handle bars are tall. Its not much bigger than Ridstar Q20. The Ouxi v8 is compact with short wheelbase
I was thinking about getting the ridstar for a good deal of $650 is it worth it?
Don’t buy the cheaper version with 15ah battery as it has small screen and mechanical brakes… spend the extra $100 for 20ah version with hydraulic brakes amzn.to/42okSGd
01:30 Engwe M20: 23 miles, 1 battery
03:40 Ouxi v8: 25miles, gotta replace brakes
05:15 Ridstar Q20: 27 miles, bonus key lock
That sums it up
Do they have rear racks?
The ouxi v8 you can buy with rear cargo rack
Anyone know can you just pop the wires out and then just switch them over to the other side on the hydraulic brakes

Which has best range
Ridstar with 20Ah battery
Which of these three bikes will you prefer?
Ridstar Q20 with 20Ah battery (do not buy cheaper 15Ah version). Ridstar has better range, faster and hydraulic brakes compared to the other 2 ebikes amzn.to/44mDkzN
Good video. It's a shame non of them are legal in the UK and Europe! Thanks politicians!!!
Sorry to hear that
Ridstar q20 or ouxi v8
Ridstar q20 with 20ah is faster a d bigger battery. Don’t buy 15ah version of Q20 as too many features cut

It the ride star for 550 dollars on Amazon is it good and reliable?
Spend the extra $100 for $650 version Ridstar Q20. The cheaper version for $550 mechanical brakes & smaller battery. Get the Q20 with 20Ah battery and hydraulic brakes its more than worth the $100. amzn.to/48faGRt
Hey I got a question I asked it before but the video is 8 months old so maybe you don’t see it 😅 my question was I want to buy the ouxi v8/v9 but I’m 6”3 (193cm) do you recommend this bike? Can you adjust the seat of the bike? I can’t vind the answer on google that’s why 😂
I responded to your comment before… the ouxi v8 will fit you. My friend rides the ouxi v8 without issue and he is 6’2”
There us also a few ways to make the seat larger. Takes some work , but it's worth it. Lots of youtube videos on the way if you search them up! Happy hunting
193cm is no issue for driving the ouxi v8/h9
Doing a compare video AFTER making upgrades is misleading. Even if you mention the upgrades, what they're seeing is not an acurate comparison or depiction of how the bike arrives.
Good point. The ridstar q20 has no upgrades nor does it need it like the other bikes
@@BRichSolution Confused, you have other videos adding shocks, battery, ect. to the Ridastar Q20. Why if not needed?
Le m20 fait pluss moto crosse guidon de bmx il a plus de charme que les deux autres le M20 ET LE SUPER 73 RX SONT POUR MOI LES DEUX BEAU MODELE DU EBIKE😎

@@BRichSolutionim pretty sure they put a 250w motor in the v20. It has a nicer screen but imo the v8 is better because the motor is more powerful and just looks better
Bangladesh paric hwo is many
Huh?
I wish i cloud speak to the engwe, but i still cant ride mine. I received my M20 last Friday with a dented fender and a defect in the front fork that makes the bike unrideable! I contacted the company via the service email and had to wait until Monday for a response.
Their response is to make me repair it myself and wait 15-25 business days for the parts!!!
Awful company to deal with. They make you think they have great service and an hq in the US but they have no such thing. Clearly they spend their money on marketing instead of customer service.
Run far away!
Sorry to hear you had bad experience. I would remove the fender and ride without until replacement can arrive. As for the front fork can you lock it out or mend it? If it makes you feel any better I had similar service with my $2000 sondors and friends super 73
@BRichSolution completely agree on the fender. Stuff happens, and I honestly think it would look cool without it.
The fork is a different matter. The arch is welded crooked, making one side of the fork an inch longer at the dropout. You can't fully attach the front wheel, let alone get it into the brake caliper. It should never have left their factory like that.
What's worse is there is zero customer service in the US even though they imply there is. And hidden in their terms is that you can't even return the bike for a defect unless you pay them $100!! No joke!
Bonsoir désolé mais le service est excellent..je doute que vous ayez un M20..😏😏😏en plus si problème faite retour du vélo directement..bon ride..👌🏽👍
@jeanlemaire1462 Lies and is an obvious company poster.
If you don't believe me, try calling their customer service, which is the 844 number listed on their website (youtube won't let me post it). You most certainly will not get any answer, much like myself, who called 53 times to get answered one time and told I needed to email.
Additionally, if you go to their shipping page, it states in the fine print that they will charge you $100 to return defective equipment. Of course the hallmark of a great company.
As for me, I am still waiting as the company only sent me a front fender and not the front fork.
@jeanlemaire1462 for further proof, I will post my video of the issue and link here shortly.
I can't be happy with my Chinese electric bike as well, first range, this batteries are very weak,15 miles on the 15ah battery,10 miles on 10ah battery, this is scandalous!, colour my choice yes, but I order blue 🔵 not purple 🟣! LCD displays battery parameters, not showing, how I can know if this is 15ah or 10ah battery or it's healthy if I can't see this on mine display!I bought this bike for work, know what I need to buy 2 more batteries to use all day.This is rubbish!!!!
This is my review about my order from Tiling Jinlongda Plastic Co.Ltd. Not recommended at all !!!!
15Ah and 10ah battery is too small for 1000w bikes
What is the point of owning an e-bike? These things and insane magnets for thieves.. and with all these crappy channels helping theives get past the most expensive locks if a thief wants your bike, unless you keep it indoors no matter where you go, they will get it..
To go farther and faster then regular bike. I can take 25 mile ride in 1 hour
Hunters use ebikes to venture into state and federal land which other wise no accessible
There are lots of reasons to own an ebike fast long range excellent for people with disabilities helps get cars off the road great fun cool as balls to ride yes it could get stolen but so can everthing else can't let what might happen put you off getting an ebike and cheap running costs and there is a great ebike community all over the world I always say people that don't like ebikes have probably never been on an ebike trust me mate thay are so much fun 🚵⚡✌
If you're scared don't get one,
Valid point. Wanna buy but cant, will get stolen.
I'm only getting one to see my gf she lives far away and using a normal bike hurts my legs after 15 miles so yea
My speed limit stuck on 25 km/h. Can you please tell me a way to change the top speed and do i need a password for Ouxi v8 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥹
