I second everything you said in this video, but I can't emphasize enough how much of a gamer changer these tires are compared to the stock balloons that come on it. As you said, they inspire confidence while cornering, they grip great, my puncture anxiety is pretty much gone and my overall range dropped a hair. VERY worth it trade off for the piece of mind imo.

Please ensure that your controller is compatible with the new battery when selecting an e-bike kit. For instance, a 48-volt battery would work well with a 48-volt controller, and a 52-volt battery is also an option. However, it's crucial to verify that your controller can support the chosen battery voltage. While the hub motor should generally be fine, I'm not aware of any specific limitations. Some individuals have even successfully used a 72-volt battery and controller without issues. However it's always good to know what is your motor limitations you just got to experiment

I've had mine f0r bout two months. keeping an eye on the pads and so far they're good but notice the front pads are getting more worn then the back ones. just wanted to get an idea of how many miles i can get out of a pair. thanks for the feedback. and i think the vast majority would agree with me when I say we appreciate the "how to" videos. so if you wanted to mak more of those, say how to cange your tires, brake pads ect ect. we would appreciate it. thank you for the videos!
@guitarlessonsbyjoe2336 hey man I'm currently at 1,700 miles on my ridstar and I'm still on the stock brakes. From a visual inspection the brake pads are still ok I'm not sure how much longer I will get out of them but I try to be easy on the brakes as much as possible. I changed my rear tire at about 1,500 miles currently commuting 8 miles to and from work 16miles a day, bike has been great!
Your suggestions are videos I'm doing. The brakes and their life are really dependent on your breaking style. Going easy and coasting to slow down a bit really makes a difference.
It sounds like you are easy on your brakes as well. Braking style has a lot to do with it. I know some people that race race race and then hard brake and the brake pads were done by 500-600 miles.
Seeing this review be rather uneventful is a breath of fresh air considering I purchased my q20 pro about three days ago. The back tired already popped so I bought some thicker tubes, I had to walk it home for about 5 miles. I knew I should have had the spare tubes already, but I thought id at least make it till they showed up in the mail.
I agree, uneventful is good.
What tubes did you purchase?
@ChrisBurns24 using the stock tubes, but I put Flatout in them on day one. They are poor quality tubes, and you don't want to overinflate them.
@@Ridstar_Q20do you just buy any type of flat out and apply it when you get the bike to prevent punctures ?
Overall would you still recommend getting the Ridstar or are there bikes you are aware of that would be slightly better for around the same or a little more than the Ridtsar’s price range ?
I still haven't seen another with the same power/speed/range for the money. I would still recommend. The Ridstar doesn't seem to have any more or less problems than any other. In my opinion, none of them are built well and you need to be kind to them.
