I think they list this bike for as short as 5'2". That would make this bike a constant wrestling match. In the seated position, it's not good geometry for pedaling. The bike is intended, in my opinion, to be ridden on and assisted when needed. Thanks for the feedback on the video.

Would it be a stretch to assume the company might think whoever rides this bike would pull up to a stop light in the same manner as a motorcycle? An by that I mean how bikers usually lean one way or the other until it’s time to go again…?

@@kavanlaughon2889 I think it's possible, but I think it could also be a disconnect between the manufacturer and the end user. On the manufacturer side, the geometry of this bike is really not for pedaling. On the user side, I have read so many comments that are bicycle oriented from an audience that isn't familiar with motorcycle riding.

this dude is lying to you holy christ. I’m 5’2 and i can ride the bike perfectly. Maybe he has a different version of the bike but i just got mine 1 month ago and i’ve been fine.

​@walkerwn, you do realize, or maybe you don't, that a difference of opinion is not a lie but simply a difference of opinion?

Thank you for the feedback. Glad you liked the video. I wanted to answer all the things that I couldn't find prior to my purchase. There is more to come. Just dropped a maintenance video. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jr1zfqmE0526p2Q.html

I need to know please what site did you get the bike from

My pleasure!

Thank you. You will love your Q20.

And also I was watching another video and someone got a extra battery do you think that would be worth it?

​@YourFavoriteBlonde123 you have to answer that based on your riding. For me, I'm not having any kind of a range issue for my needs.

Sound advice. Ride safe.

You are very welcome. I have more content to come.

@@Ridstar_Q20 Subed and will be waiting!!

This bike uses tubes. I use a sealant, Flat Out. The best price I have found is through Amazon.

Good to know...Thanks for sharing...@@Ridstar_Q20

Some people buy clamp on foot pegs. Max weight is around 300 lbs.

would it fit if you are any shorter

I would join this group and ask. Ridstar is really pure garbage about being able to get brake pads. It's like a game, and you never know where brake pads will show up. The latest seems to be Aliexpress, but I can't find them. In the forum group, somebody might be able to tell you where they are showing up today. facebook.com/share/G7ywdQo2ECF6dGwm/?mibextid=A7sQZp

They seem to be pretty good bikes.

@@Ridstar_Q20 is there anyway to make it accelerate faster?

When the battery is full just off the charger, it will show me a speed of 32 mph. Once the battery has a bit of miles on it but still fully charged, it will consistently show 28-29 mph.

Sorry I missed your post. The ah amp hour gives you an idea of how far it will go. 20 goes further than 15 and 40 goes even further.

At first, they can be very hard to slide off. Assuming you haven't locked it in place with the key and forgot that you locked it, here is what I do. I lay across and on top of the seat with me left shoulder towards the handlebar. I place my left hand on top of the battery from the stood if the bike you're on. I then reach over the bike with my right arm and grab the battery from the bottom and pull up until the battery releases. My hand in top gets a bit squished when the battery releases, but it prevents the battery from slamming when it does release. Around 500 miles of user, battery being put on and off, it finally wore in and slides on and off easier. Ride safe.

I assume the rest of the bike works? I would take the wire wrapping off, remove the seat, and trace the wiring back to the controller under the seat and make sure it's plugged in. After that, initiate a return which will prompt the seller to contact you and then you can pursue getting a replacement part. Ride safe.

It will be a little cramped if you tried to pedal it, but for what you want to do, I think it would work. Ride safe.

Nothing to unlock.

The seated position is close to the pedals. I'm 5'6" and it feels like I'm sitting on a standard BMX bike with how high my knees come up. If you are tall enough for the bike then you will be closer than you need for the pedals.

Yes

@@Ridstar_Q20 thanks Just ordered one

Ordered the 5 pin one. Didn’t work

From my research, I have read 700-800 full charge and discharge. With that, there are a number of factors that can extend or shorten life expectancy. For example, not leaving it on a charger when fully charged. Not charging it in the freezing cold. And there are more. Ride safe.

If you’re talking about how long does a battery last for one charge? You can go a while especially if you do a little peddling even though this bike takes a while to catch up for the pedal assist it doesn’t kick in right away so it’s mostly a throttle bike but even that that we ride all night long for four hours and my battery only gets halfway down. I would say you should get an easy 20 miles if you did nothing but full throttle of course if you’re in level five it’s going to wear the battery down more but if you’re in level three or something like that, you should be able to get 20 miles easily.

It's about 75-80 lbs.

No. Just means it's a little more work. As a fellow short person, just one of those things we learn to deal with.

Plenty of riders are out in the rain and one person I know of ran his through what was forming to be a pond. No one to this point has complained of any water problems. Ride safe.

You will have to initiate a return which will prompt the vendor to reach out to you. Then you'll be able to identify that the charger doesn't work in the vendor will replace it.

@@Ridstar_Q20 I have asked the vender on Amazon and I don’t know when they will respond I think it’s the charger thought the battery came charged and it rode fine for 10 miles until It ran out

​@@yuvalbriller8115initiate the return process and that's what triggers the vendor to reach out to you because they don't want to ship that bike back.

thank you they have shiipped me a new battery@@Ridstar_Q20

Problem is that there's no quality aftermarket front shock.

What ?

Sure, I can. I didn't know if there would be interest.

If you haven't seen it, I have my first ride video up, Ride-n-Chat. And an 8-second clip of my first crash. Ride safe.

I had pulled the link because they were out, but I found another vendor with 3 currently. Move fast. These are the pads if your bike is equipped with the two ears - see the picture. www.ebay.com/itm/364591038876

would you recommend just replacing the calipers from the jump rather than dealing with the head ache of trying to find he brake pads later on@@Ridstar_Q20

I believe the best thing is to use the time on this first set of pads to find an off the shelf setup for future proofing the bike. I would look at brakes from downhill mountain bikes. Much more severe loads than cross country. Cross country brakes seem to be what I often see spec'd on ebikes.

@Ridstar_Q20 ok but would I have any trouble finding replacement caliper set or are the mounting points on the frame standard. I live in the Caribbean so it would be pretty tough on me if I ordered a set of calipers and they don't fit. I've been scourering for a video about someone doing a brake upgrade on this bike and I haven't found one yet. Might be a good opportunity to make a unique video on one especially because of the issues finding brake pads.

With any battery, cheap Chinese bikes, or Tesla's, batteries are a crap shoot. Typically, a battery like this should be a 700-800 cycle battery. If you ran the entire battery out and recharged every day, then you're looking at 2 years. But Tesla's have crapped out at 25,000 miles, and those were premium batteries. Who knows, time will tell.

Thank you so much.

😆, watching you pedal would be funny at your height. Enjoy.

@@Ridstar_Q20 thx and I’m not much of a peddler

@@Ridstar_Q20 thats why im buying your guys product

You're correct, the bag could hold the phone. However, the sloppy fit of the bag, the wear on the paint, and the fact a zip-loc bag is more waterproof are all reasons that the bag, for me, is not worth having. Additionally, at 300 miles, it already had two wear holes.

That does look like a pretty sweet bike.

@@Ridstar_Q20 Amyet doesn't mind releasing their bikes fully unlocked.. one reason I like them. They have a dual motor S8 which is a badass bike.. I love the Q20 but it's an older bike at this point and should probably have a couple 100 chopped off the list price.

​@jahbrake9791 the industry is definitely evolving quickly, but until this bike you showed me, I haven't found one that matches the specs of the Q20 for the money.

@@Ridstar_Q20 I agree! I've gone back and forth between the Q20 and the Amyet G60. A couple of weeks ago Amyet released a version 2 of the g60.. apparently upgraded controller, screen, different frame and rear suspension... So the listing you see now on Amazon hasn't been reviewed yet...A few people have reviewed the original version which got me on the bike.

You can still ride it, just know it's a little harder.

If they do it becomes an electric moped/motorcycle and other laws apply versus a being a bike.
