Ridstar FM-001 electric bike review

Model number FM-001 ridstar electric bike review 48 V 15 amp power unknown hub motor. They come in three 750 1000 and 1500 not sure which one it is. It definitely has great power. I am a heavier rider at 230 pounds and me and my nine-year-old pretty good, definitely good range. Good display, headlight and loud horn. I would definitely recommend purchasing this. It has great build quality definitely worth it for the price. At under $1000

I’m getting closer to 100 miles on the ridstar FM-001 still no regrets you’ll definitely love it

Nice review. This bike has mechanical brakes or hydraulic brakes?

Mechanical disc

Nice review. How is the shifting and how is it holding up?

[@SouthDakota1989]

It’s holding up great. No problems yet over 100 miles now ..I can’t complain. First through fifth gear works great. Battery holding strong still can reach speeds of 30 to 32 depending on grade.

How can we change the mode of pedal assist to throttle?

[@SouthDakota1989]

On this e-bike pedal assist is always on through mode 1 through 5 you can use throttle anytime as it is always fully functional

Hey there. I cannot figure out why my display wont work. I charged the battery. Does the battery light on the battery supposed to stay on or do you have to push it for it to show how much charge? Any tips to figure out why it wont power on?

[@SouthDakota1989]

What Iv found is when you turn the switch on the battery… and push the battery bar button as long as the bars are illuminating, you can turn the key to the on position…. And then hold down the power button until your display screen illuminates.

[@SouthDakota1989]

The bars on the battery do not stay illuminated that is just a check the level, but when the switch is off, the bars will not illuminate

Does it have pegs for the second rider to rest their feet on?

[@SouthDakota1989]

Yes
