how much range do you get throttle only with the upgrade?
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.

So I have this bike as well and thinking about doing this to my bike as well for a little bit of more range. My question is since you added this second battery, have you seen a increase in speed with the bike or no?

No increase in top speed, but top speed is maintained longer and does not fall off after 20 miles like a single battery.
Anyway to remove the throttle? Throttles are illegal here in Ireland and I’m hoping to just use PAS mode on maximum and hopefully it would be easy to peddle? I don’t mind low speed. Just want to stay legal and hopefully no sweat 😂

Does the bike work on the battery? If so might be communication error if not then return it. My amp display does not show anything but volts do see settings video kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqKVp82vf9yup6g.html

How can you make the bike go faster?
@BRichSolution
7 ай бұрын
You could change the controller to 25A ouptut it might get you to 32-33 mph… but physics has you pretty much tapped out… sell the bike and buy 52V yolin for $1500
I just got my ridstar q20 it goes up to 30 mph but i can't get the speedometer to read it only goes to like 8.9 mph even when not riding it is there a setting for this

check P06 setting for tire size as it should be 23 for 23 inch diameter tire. Smaller number will read slower on display. see full manual drive.google.com/file/d/11lAw9iM5LSeClU6BIZ9uhWouXFD8nR_3/view

You can run both batteries or toggle back and forth with the battery combiner; see parts list in description below video

The extra battery comes with a separate charger and there is charge wires on the extra battery. You can see the black cable coming from the battery

how much range do you get throttle only with the upgrade?
@BRichSolution

13 miles throttle only in extra battery that is only 10Ah and 27 miles on stock battery so total of 40 miles. You can go further if you get larger 15Ah battery or ride in PAS 4

can you upgrade the motor next? maybe 3000watts?
@BRichSolution
10 ай бұрын
The issue with going to 3000W motor you'll also need at least 60V preferably 72V battery. That will cost you over $2000 and the frame might not be able to handle the torque. Best bet is to sell the Q20 and buy a Stealth Bomber Clone with 3000w. s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DDjbsn9 The 48V 3000W bikes has front and rear 1500W motor which is great for hill climb but range short and top speed is only 34 mph

Longer range but does help maintain higher speeds longer as after 18 miles top speed slows down with one battery

You can’t go much faster with 48V battery. $5000 super 73 only have top speed of 32 mph and Q20 goes 31mph. To go faster you’ll need a bike with 52V or 60V battery

Just Bought Ridstar. but i just wanted to ask, does the base battery (48V 20AH) Dies withing a year or so? I read a comment about the batterry being faulty and dies out after a year of use. Is this true?
@BRichSolution

All ebike batteries (even expensive LG or Samsung) have a cycle life. If you cycle (charge and discharge) battery constantly below 20% will shorten it's life. Typically ebike batteries get 500-2000 cycles

I typically start on factory battery and when I get to 1-2 bars I shut the bike off and power up with 2nd battery until 1 bar. Gives time for factory battery chemistry to settle out. Then ride home on both batteries
