You know they have an actual website where you can buy directly from them (and get better support), and you can get replacement parts there too.

You must have gotten a bad unit. I have the Q20 20ah and the Q20 pro. No issues with brakes, batteries or wobbling wheels.

Great Honest Review Basement 👍Im still debating on which Ebike to get myself . Im still looking at the Wicked thumb bikes Deuce S or a Full Size model unfortunately not all come with front shocks so its more $ to upgrade the 2024 RatRod bike is Nice also but more Expensive.

Awesome review. I was feeling that impulse to buy one off Banggood on this late saturday night while lying in bed before coming across your vid. I own a german engineered, bosch powered touring Ebike and was thinking of getting this based purely on looks, a bit of fun and for using when my "proper" commuting bike is down for repairs/maintanance, but I doubt whether it would even be good for that. Thanks for the no BS review!

i love my ridstar ive had it for a few months. Pedaling isnt that bad, the gear shifter helps bigtime. i do have the same brake issue but havent looked into it yet. im definitely not gonna buy it again but its a great starter e bike in my opinion.

I went with the Amyet G60. Very similar ebikes but a couple hundred bucks less off of ebay. They took my offer of 649... after taxes and shipping came out to 794. Would I buy it again? Maybe... the price makes it hard to complain. I've only put 8 miles on it so far. Brakes are cable operated, which I'm ok with them. They work good enough for now. Eventually, I'll upgrade to hydraulic brakes, still come out cheaper than purchasing the Ridstar and won't have any of the brake issues that both of these ebikes come with. I agree, this style of ebikes sucks for peddling. I knew that before my purchase... thanks to various reviews. I'm happy just using the throttle. 😂 I noticed Happyrun's selection of replacement parts on their website. Should a person wreck or have a part failure after warranty is expired... they got everything available separately.

@Colinnn.Ай бұрын
the “manual” thing with the headlight symbol is just Chinese cheap corner cutting. on many e-bikes, holding the plus button on the controller turns on the headlights, ridstar didn’t care enough to bother changing that button and just left it wired to nothing and they put in their own controls for headlights

Bro, you can not complain about a1000 box e-bike, however, I have this bike since a long time and I never got an issue, only the brakes, you can change the entire break set to another one instead of fighting with people in ebay auction.
