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 fit 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. Overall, the Q20 is deemed excellent value, but the heavy Q20 Pro is considered relatively expensive.

100-Mile Review on the Ridstar Q20!

Level 1 expert

The only thing that I would change on this bike when I get it is this is suspension. It is pretty good for a bike around [this price] but it’s not the suspension that I would need for my riding requirements.
