    This was by far the most informative and helpful E-bike video on KZread not to mention specifically for the Ridstar Q20... Your videos reassure my purchase as I'm using this as a fulltime commuter till I get my license back. This e-bike was the best bang for the buck,, and I knew I could and would upgrade it down the road,, Just didn't know how till your videos... Ik most ppl aren't interested in this, but would LOVE to see a speed upgrade done to this bike, cuz like i said this is my fulltime commuter n sometimes the mornings don't go as planned, n I'm not tryna be late lol. Anyway great vid!

    I was hoping you could provide some clarification. This is a great video btw. Thank you for making it. I was reading the comments and you said once the battery is installed you don’t remove it. If this is correct, does that mean in order to charge the battery, I would have to have the bike near a wall outlet? And why can’t you remove the battery every time you need to charge it like the stock battery? Is it that inconvenient to remove it? Thank you for taking the time to answer my question. Your videos are well put together and I am seriously considering doing this . After all 12 extra miles would me helpful. My concern is with charging. I store my bike outside in a shed away from the elements where I don’t have excess to a outlet and since I use this as a commuting bike, having to bring it inside to an outlet every time I need to charge it would be a hardship I think. anyway, thank you so much for your videos.

    The extra battery comes with a charge it’s identical to the bike charger. You can easily remove the battery from bag if you don’t want to use it and then reinstall when needed. The straps take a few minutes to adjust once installed

    No gain in top speed but with 2nd battery you can maintain the higher speeds longer than with single battery after 18 miles speed slow, with two you can go 28 miles. Not much more speed you can get out of bike with 48v; 31 mph top speed is respectable. $5000 super 83 top speed is 32 mph

With 48V your maxed out on speed. Even $5000 Super73 only gets top speed of 32 mph and the ridstar Q20 does 31 mph. If you want to go 40-45 mph you’ll need a 60V ebike which expensive and heavy

    No disconnecting the battery once installed. Battery comes with separate charger which is interchangeable with factory battery
