Ridstar Q20
BikeRide finds and shows you the best prices of the bikes you want to buy. Prices constantly change and it’s impossible to compare them all yourself.
We search for prices on over 120 bike retailers to guarantee that we find the lowest prices – to save you time and money.
It’s a promise we stand behind: If you find a lower price on a bike elsewhere, we will sell it to you for 10% less. For example, if you find a bike for $480 that we have listed at $500, we will offer you to buy it for $432 through BikeRide. The bike must be the same color and size, sold in the US and not include the use of a coupon.
If you find a lower price, email us at [email protected] with documentation of the price. We’re committed to making sure that the cost of a bike does not keep you from cycling!
Facts

15 reasons to buy
- Testers and owners agree the Q20 is “super fun.”
- This bike comes in three builds with different battery capacities.
- The Q20 Pro features two 52V 20Ah batteries and two 1000W motors.
- All builds include a phone mount with a USB port, a soft cargo bag, fenders, lights with brake activation, and a “loud” horn.
- The Q20 Pro has two mirrors.
- Experts report a “respectable” range, getting 35 miles on pedal assist and 25 miles throttle-only from the standard build’s 960Wh battery.
- Testers savor the wide and “comfortable” saddle.
- The “rugged” aesthetic and moto-style looks draw compliments.
- This bike’s ability to tackle climbs, even carrying a substantial load, impresses reviewers and owners.
- The Q20 can carry up to 330lb.
- Reviewers praise the responsive power delivery from both throttle and pedal assist.
- The handling is “balanced” and stable.
- Owners say the Q20 Pro’s higher 35mph top speed gives them more confidence in traffic.
- The 4” knobby tires have good grip on varied terrains, say reviewers.
- Buyers profess strong satisfaction with Ridstar customer support.
6 reasons not to buy
- Experts and owners say the “basic” suspension bottoms out too easily.
- Ridstar states rider fitment of 5’4″ to 6’2″. Given the 33” standover height and complaints by a 5’6” tester, this bike isn't practical for shorter riders.
- An expert finds the tires are too thin, puncturing too easily, and wearing out quickly.
- A reviewer’s Q20 stopped working because of a defective display.
- The stock brake pads can be noisy, and alternative pads are hard to find, say reviewers.
- With no rack and only a “flimsy” storage box, this bike offers limited cargo capacity.
Bottom line
Ridstar's Q20 is a moto-style full-suspension electric bike with a choice of three battery capacities and single or dual-motor configurations. The "smooth" power, good speed, hill-climbing ability, and "respectable" range impress testers, who say this bike is huge fun on roads and light trails. Reviewers also praise the accessories, and Ridstar customer support wins fans among owners. Testers and owners agree the "basic" suspension is too soft, the tires are too thin, and the bike is unsuited to short riders. Though the mid-tier Q20 is deemed "excellent" value, the heavy Q20 Pro is "relatively expensive."Expert Reviews
