* NOTICE**
Front battery powers the front hub only, rear battery powers the rear hub and the electronics to power unit on. So if you just use rear hub until battery is showing empty, you can swap batteries or use just select front hub to double your range.
How fast is the Q20 Pro? Unlocked I got a top speed of 37mph, and I GPS confirmed the speedometer, it is accurate.
This is my favorite budget E-Bike so far! Best budget e-Bike I've tested. Selectable front and rear or front OR rear hub is a great feature and with all the accessories it comes with stock you can not beat the price!
Today in Cheezy's garage I explain why the Q20 is only using one battery. Then take a beautiful scenic 50 mile ride on the Dutchess rail trail over the old poughkeepsie Railroad bridge (Hudson river walk) and back.
Race! Ridstar Q20 VS Magicycle Pro VS the Nakto 4Folding OX, I win of course! I also climb a huge hill on a powerline (camera was off). This bike is AMAZING! And my favorite so far.

[@RatdogDRB]

That's some good mileage from a single battery, and having another one on-board as a back-up is sweet!

[@IDGplayz]

Does the phone holder and pouch come with the bike

[@MotoCheez]

Yes, mirrors too

[@Carcajoo121]

If the RTA Q2 had REGEN it would be perfect along with decent suspension

[@MotoCheez]

Regen would definitely be nice on the hilly areas

[@captsam54]

Problem is: I am not paying $1800-$2000 for one of those..... I paid $1299 for the Kettles 26" bike... with your discount back when.. off Amazon w/ free shipping.. I like it but want something I can throw around more... I will wait for a bit.. thx..

[@MotoCheez]

It was $1600 w discount... Must have gone up.

[@MotoCheez]

The PLJ2008 is pretty good too! Single battery so less

[@carpelunam]

you are literally addressing my specific question I can't get answered anywhere else

[@MotoCheez]

Awesome!

[@outthere2]

Man, my knees hurt when I see people riding with such a low seat. How come Jeff didn't put her seat up like his? I had a Mulberry tree too, it was so huge, we used to climb up and jest hang out and eat the berries. The tree was in a Battlefield park. I bet the soldiers used to eat them too. Cool ride Vin Cheezle. Cool bike.

[@MotoCheez]

I did ask her if she wanted me to raise the seat when she was going to have to pedal but she's nervous not being able to touch the ground with both feet so she declined. I lost about 20 minutes of video because I said something I shut my GoPro off when we were waiting for Sonya and I forgot to turn it back on. The mulberry tree that we had when I was a kid was also huge that we would climb! Thanks 😁

[@Carcajoo121]

I just purchased the RTA Q2 PRO and going on a 100 mile trip this weekend with my brother-in-law’s. Can’t wait to try it out.

[@DomenicLoria]

Man let me know how it goes I’m looking at getting one and planning to go touring with it. How do the batteries actually get you?

[@vnpyre]

would you recommend this bike in Cali ? Or do you think it’ll be bait for cops, great video

[@MotoCheez]

Looks wise? As long as you're riding within the limits of the area you're riding you should be fine. I'm not familiar with CA laws but I know most places are strict within city limits to be set on class 1

[@AKCobra1120]

So how can you ride using the front motor alone if it doesn't power up the display? How can you set the PA level? And yeah you can go a long way on 1040 Watt Hours if you're riding in PA 1 or 2 and pedaling. Especially on trails, which are usually pretty flat.

[@MotoCheez]

The rear battery powers all electronics

[@daqweezy]

They must be sending out different model's or something because i have the q20 pro as well and my front battery does all the functions as well as runs runs both motors with the back battery off and vice versa.

[@MotoCheez]

That's weird! I contacted the company and they explained it the way I did...

[@lastcall170]

Its not the Poughkeepsie/Newburgh span...its rhe Poughkeepsie/Highland span you rode on.

[@MotoCheez]

You're right!

[@vharrald]

I'll get you my pretty, and your dog too😊

[@f.j.garcia5782]

Nice ride Cheez, I really enjoyed the video. It's chilly out? Wow! Hard to fathom here in South Texas where today; we had our 15th day in a row over 100 degrees.

[@MotoCheez]

Thanks! I can't wait for the heat wave headed out way! Hate the cold

[@f.j.garcia5782]

@@MotoCheez Hope you get to enjoy the weather, Happy Riding my friend.

[@denzelmotuba5336]

Do you think it is smart to go for the single 20AH battery pack and get a 2nd battery to always have incase. Or should I just go for the dual battery set up. Nice videos Cheez🔥🔥

[@MotoCheez]

I think you'll save more money getting the dual battery, no? But either way as long as you can hang it in that spot you'd always have an extra battery. Thanks!

[@SCVM906]

thats some reall nice milage off one battery!!

[@glbaker5595]

I wish you had my mulberry trees I hate the damn things, my car stays covered with red stain from about July to mid August, and when the berries aren't dropping off by their self and hitting the car then it's bird s*** from where they're eating the berries and shiting on the car 🤪

[@MotoCheez]

Haha, I bet! I'd never plant near the house! Back of yard probably

[@Sycothrash666]

Yeah I wanna take my lil kitty for a ride too! Seeing more of the dual motor/ battery bikes coming out. Have you seen the Bandit X Pro? Supposed to be pretty cool too. Thankx for all the hard work making these cheezy videos!

[@MotoCheez]

I have not seen the bandit X-Pro, I have to look it up. thank you

[@captsam54]

That was a very scenic ride.. Cool old RR track paths... $14.00 for 2 hotdogs a drink and tiny chips?? lol

[@MotoCheez]

Yeah that was pretty steep!

[@bellyacres7846]

I like your reviews of this ebike, good stuff and thanks for the info about the batteries! I assumed they were blended and not one for front & the other for rear. oops I heard another guy talk about this and Im glad I didnt correct him as he is right. gee not such a great thing being separated like they are. oh well there are other benefits, but an old concept. I had assumed they were blended & 40 ah, better to know before I bought one.

[@MotoCheez]

I didn't like the concept at first but I actually prefer it this way now because there's always a reserve battery and you can switch to front only if you want or switch the higher charged front battery to the rear spot..

[@bellyacres7846]

@@MotoCheez yeah I see that is "ok" Id prefer it was current tech and blended together - if you remove one battery or one dies you loose functions this way. it is good to know its this way. thank you :) you saved me and now, my quest continues.

[@MotoCheez]

@bellyacres7846 you could always add a battery blender, they're cheap. BUT having one battery powering one hub will allow more amperage to each IMO

[@bellyacres7846]

@@MotoCheez maybe - but in my thinking its 1 20ah battery by itself blended 2- 20 ah batteries should be 40 ah. so maybe better?

[@MotoCheez]

@bellyacres7846 that's amphour, so it's related to time more than output amps, this is the best performing bike I've tested so far

[@dankfarmtron3066]

Great vid, really enjoy all of them, will be saving up for this one, unless you find some thing better.

[@MotoCheez]

This is definitely the best bike and best bargain so far!

[@jaybones614]

I'd rather have the batteries in parallel. Less stress and you get more available amps to play with.

[@MotoCheez]

You can hook lithium cells in parallel but for some reason they don't recommend hooking lithium battery packs in parallel. But since these are the same identical battery packs I don't see why you couldn't. They do make a device that allows the two in parallel electronically but I'm not sure if it physically raises the amperage output or if it keeps alternating between the two batteries. I guess I could do some more research, it wood be good to know

[@SeventhSky1]

Can you use just rear battery to run both motors?

[@MotoCheez]

No, the rear battery runs the rear hub and controls, the front battery runs the front hub only

[@SeventhSky1]

@@MotoCheez so how fast does it go on just one battery one motor? Does it reach the top speed like that?

[@MotoCheez]

@SeventhSky1 Yes it'll reach top speed with just one hub running front or rear

[@carpelunam]

You can get a battery balance module that will plug in both your batteries and make them work in sync, You could also add a switch into the line and make it so you could alternate

[@MotoCheez]

Good options!

[@captstevenagy]

That's a good looking E Bike. Time to break out the DRZ Cheezy

[@MotoCheez]

I know, still damn cold here most days

[@frankmc5021]

Get on your bikes and ride!

[@aquickfoo4256]

Have you gotten in trouble by the police for riding that?

[@MotoCheez]

No, i respect the speed where I ride... Mostly

[@buck9739]

Reminds me of my mom. Nice ride cheeze. Great review

[@MotoCheez]

Thanks!

I wish I could of went with you guys next time tho but all way’s love the videos

[@MotoCheez]

I would have invited, figured you want to wait on controller. And jeffro picked me up

[@Motorider2018]

Ya

[@Slane583]

That sure looks like a fun rail trail to ride on. We've been to some rail trails near me several years ago but they were nothing nice like this. They looked more like dirt roads setup like ATV trails because they were aimed at hiking and mountain bikes. I'm not much of a fan of hiking or mountain bikes so the trails were just meh at best. As for mulberry's we have a couple of bushes we planted in the yard ourselves. I like to call them caterpillar-berries when they're fully grown. Too bad you couldn't take your dual-motor stand-up scooter on that rail trail. :)

[@MotoCheez]

I actually prefer the off-road type trails. I've seen the scooters in these trails, not sure how legal it is

[@Slane583]

@@MotoCheez I like off-road trails when I'm on an ATV or dirt bike. If it's a bicycle or walking it's a take-it or leave-it thing for me. I've hiked in the past but it was mostly with some friends or family who wanted to go. Other than that it's not an interest of mine. I wish we had nicely paved rail trails like these around here. I like the idea of being able to ride on a nicely paved road without the vehicle traffic. Going a few miles and popping out by small food stands for a break sounds nice. The scattered spots of history related to the rail road is is neat too. There's not many exciting attractions around here. You have to travel to somewhere else for that. :)

[@MotoCheez]

@Slane583 that is a good point, I guess I like the feel of being in the woods. Completely straight roads get boring after a while. A mix would be good like in FL

[@Slane583]

@@MotoCheez Yes, a mix of different roads would be nice. I agree with straight roads getting boring. When I take a trip to go shopping on my own I avoid the interstate as much as possible. I like taking the scenic roads going through or pass the neighboring towns. It takes a little longer but the view is nicer. :)

[@MotoCheez]

@Slane583 definitely!

@@MotoCheez Jeff & Sonya seem pretty cool. :) Nice video.

[@josephsaucedo8691]

Im surprised that they don't have a push plate set up on the back of the bikes that and battery regen would be something. Iv seen a mobile landscape set up someone made for e bike that was pretty sweet 💯👍✌️🫡

[@MotoCheez]

Some of these bikes do come with regen breaking feature, it must cause more money in the controller to do this though. It does seem easier to push with a bike then pull because there's really no great point to attach to pull and it seems safer. I wonder if they make something

[@josephsaucedo8691]

My cousin can't drive because of his eyes never had a driver licensens so he uses a ebkie and a baby trailer hook up on back to do his shopping for food. I thought that was pertty smart he was brave and pick up a big screen tv one time with the same set up 20miles home.💯👍✌️🫡

[@MotoCheez]

Wow, that's Great that he can get around with the bike since he can't get his license. How far did he have to travel with the big screen TV, that's pretty cool idea. I wonder what kind of trailer setup he has. Thanks for sharing

[@josephsaucedo8691]

@MotoCheez he got a 50in and had to go 20miles to get it home I was impressed. I ask why he didn't call me I would of picked it up for him. He said he had a 30day warranty if anything happened to it he could get It replaced. A little crazy I dough they seen the way he was having to transport it. The little trailer is for a regular bike but he uses it on his ebike it attaches to the seat post you have to remove the seat and post to slide it in the attachment it best if it's a quick release seat post iv seen him hook it up one time it has two mountain bike tires on a axel but it's not really that big it reminds me of a bike side cart.💯👍✌️🤔

[@MotoCheez]

@josephsaucedo8691 That's pretty awesome! Gives him the freedom since he can't drive a car. I'm sure he felt a great accomplishment picking up that TV by himself

[@josephsaucedo8691]

@MotoCheez ya I think that's why he does it I no not being able to drive does get to him sometimes but for not being able to he gets by pertty good. He faked his eye test for a long time before anyone new that he's blind in one eye he's go a good memory to remember the chart when he could see it with his other good eye then be able to repeat any line back even though he couldn't see it with his blind eye he had to basically memorize the chart using his only good eye in less the a minute then act like he was reading back when in reality he couldn't see it. They caught him but he was in high school by the time any one realized it. He's considered legally blind . I always thought it was strange we would shoot bb guns as kids and he's right handed but shot left handed with a scope I can do both but I'd ask why he shot like that he say it was more comfortable but he was lieing . He try to come back and say your mainly right handed but shoot a basketball like a lefty but I just sucked compared to him playing basketball 💯👍✌️😉🫡

[@MotoCheez]

@josephsaucedo8691 that sucks, but at least he's still has the freedom with the e-bike!
