proly sounds like a silly question but also if it rains?? im assuming you can still ride it no? 😂

[@ampedcycle]

@@angeldaviani8678 If you're feeling risky

[@OGraede]

I keep the front tire off most of the time. I'll switch the front on to accelerate faster once I'm already rolling or when I'm going up a hill. There's nothing like doing 32 mph going up a steep hill

[@Reeferjedi]

Do you notice better range with it just in single motor mode?

[@OGraede]

@@Reeferjedi Single is probably most efficient. I also disabled pedal assist. It's even more efficient that way. Now I can use the throttle for a boost or to get going. Once it's rolling I can pedal it without using any power.

[@bobjim7659]

How long have you had the bike and how is it holding up?

[@OGraede]

@@bobjim7659 3 months now. I have 800 miles on it. It's holding up good so far. Only thing I've done besides regular maintenance is adding some foam padding to the controller box under the seat to keep the controllers from rattling around.

I'm hoping the dealer fees are low If I'm getting two wheels for transportation and for the same price I can get something that's gas powered and can go 100 mi on 1 gallon and I don't have to worry about weather... But then I have to get a motorcycle license and insurance for it... Whereas in my state I could just get on an e-bike put on a helmet and that's it...

[@5lim.0]

Oh no, why’d you have to contact customer service?

[@OGraede]

If it's because it's stuck at half speed, hold the right brake while turning the bike on and hold for 15 secs. You can use this process to limit or unlock the limit.

[@Mackdez]

Yeah dude I want to know why you had to call customer service to 😅, you know before I buy 🤔

[@ztreetfotoz736]

Hold down the + and - at the same time to unlock the settings. Also check the connectors on the controller box, my PAS stopped working and it was a loose connector.

@@Mackdez the bike makes some strange noises above 23mph. Everything works fine, but the motor itself is definitely not going to last.

Amyet s8 vs ridstar q20 Which has more top speed? Seen a video from a guy on youtube that max speed the ridstar q20 at 50+ mph Would love your opinion on both top speed from the two👍

The ridstar comes with a 30A controller, I do believe, because my brother has one, and he said he got his up to 40 mph

[@B7litz]

Ridstar is a max of 28-30mph

[@raginggill]

@alexrojas9725 My brother has a Ridstar Q20 like I mentioned before, and all I can tell you about that is what he told me about his , but the Amyet S8 is dual motors and I saw that they have a dual motor dual battery version also, but I would go with the Amyet s8 with the dual motors, I know the first version of the Q20 came out loaded with 4 piston hydraulic brakes good front shocks the whole 9, that's when he bought his, I don't know if they change some of those features when they started selling the cheaper versions.

Im curious of the range. My G60 has never achieved 30-50miles. More like 22-24mi.

[@ampedcycle]

I just took the S8 26 miles on dual motor mode throttle only, And I still had at least a mile or 2 of range left

[@aceofwaters]

@@ampedcycle roger, thanks.

[@trevorjameson3213]

I achieved exactly 35 miles on mine the last time I tested it (the S8). That is mostly on the rear motor only, reasonable speeds 15-25mph, and a few fast passes full power both motors at 35mph. This was during normal commutes in town, real world riding as a street bike in the city. I sure if you ride it harder and faster, it's not going to exceed 22-24 miles like you said. It would be nice to have an extra battery to keep the backpack when riding longer distances.

[@aceofwaters]

@@trevorjameson3213 I know your bike is a bit of an upgrade. Im pretty sure we both got a good deal. My bike is at 1100 miles and still rides the same, minus the wear on the tires.

[@JesseJimenez1101]

I’m torn between the Amyet S8 and Amyet EV900x. What do you think?

[@ampedcycle]

Well the EV is only single motor and the S8 has 2 motors, So it depends what you're looking for. If you're bigger you might fit on the EV better, But you cant beat dual motor of the S8. I would get the s8 personally

[@JesseJimenez1101]

@@ampedcycle good insight - I think I’m undecided on what look I like better as well. The dual motors is a huge differentiator. Do you notice if the front motor makes the ride bumpy from the front?

You must have done something wrong because the motors are really good. They could take some abuse and do a higher voltage instead of 48 V.

Overall is the Ridstar Q20 or this better built? Seems like you could fit an extra person on the S8 if you really had to but no for the Q20? having turn signals is pretty key.

[@ampedcycle]

I would say they’re both well built, I had a passenger on the S8 who is about 5 feet tall and they fit perfectly and the bike did fine, even went off road. There are foot pegs on the S8, the Q20 doesn’t come with any so your passenger wouldn’t be comfortable

Wondering if it'll do better with me because I'm 280lb's , or maybe it would be beneficial to you to use the rear wheel first get up to speed, then switch the button to dual wheel? Idk I don't know what do you think.

[@OGraede]

I switch on the front wheel after I'm rolling so it doesn't spin. Works great that way

[@ampedcycle]

If you sit more in the middle of the bike there’s more weight over the front wheel and it won’t spin as much
