[@giorgiorocchi8313]

[@Reiger1984]

P10 setting is also handy if you want pedal assist to start quicker. I found out that it takes very long for pedal assist to start working in setting 0 (only pedal assist). With setting 2 (the combined pedal assist and throttle) the pedal assist starts with half a pedal rotation, while setting 0 starts at 3 pedal rotations

[@BRichSolution]

Good to know

[@dickflinghammer2985]

I just commented about the wheel size setting in another video on this bike. Seeing you have it set to max power it seems like setting the wheel size to 12 in could get it to 33-35 mph. Also it looks like the seat could be modified easily enough to make room for a gas tank battery. Good for distance but top-heavy for off road.

[@BRichSolution]

I tried to change wheel sizento smaller like i did in my sondors to increase speed but no luck. Top speed stayed the same at 31 mph. Most likely can’t get much more from battery and controller maxed out at 20 anps

[@rmoreno6014]

Dude! An outstanding Video!! Thank you so much!!! Going through the advanced settings to the controller was just a huge help. Exactly what I needed. Especially to achieve the bikes fastest possible setting. I really thought I was going to get more power out of it, since I own a Bagi Bike, that only has a Bfang 500 Watt motor, 48V 13 AH battery and it does 31 MPH no problem. I thought for sure this bike would smoke it, because of the 1,000 watt, much bigger, and more wattage motor, yet it did not yield what I expected. Your thoughts......?

[@BRichSolution]

The Q20s 1000W motor is should be torquer or faster acceleration then 500w bike. I heard from other comments that the 13Ah version may have different controller and might be slower. As for top speed the physics won’t allow much faster speed. $5000 super73 with 48V only have top speed of 32-33mph. To go faster you’ll need 52V or 60V but then the bike weights 120 lbs

@@kennyandrade267 the AMPs is the current limit. You can pretty much max out most of the settings that limit performance. You just don’t want to change things like tire size. The performance limits are to allow the bike to qualify as a Class 3 bike for “legal” road use.

[@christopherhinkel8274]

I really appreciate your content with budget ebikes. Got my Cruz V8 in Cambodia, it's actually more like this Ridstar with the M5, 1000W motor, but with a hard tail, passenger seat and higher handlebar. Unfortunately i can't change many of the custom settings on the M5; the top speed is hard set at 50kph, but thankfully it's already at 20amps. A motor controller upgrade will surely be complicated as well, I'm rethinking that mod. So, what do you think about the throttle on your bike? Mine is very touchy with a limited range of variability, like a half inch of rotation. I need to be careful as the bike wants to do a wheelie with my partner on board!

[@BRichSolution]

That doesn’t sound like normal operation for throttle. Isn’t the cruz v8 the same as ouxi v8? See settings segment in this assembly video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/nnnMaaqqgNVgb8ksi=1UOM2Lg3-p-aT2r_

[@christopherhinkel8274]

@BRichSolution it's the same throttle I assume by the looks. My explanation is not clear then. The motor power is either full off or full on except for a small amount of throttle rotation in the middle that modulates the power. It's hard to only give part throttle, and I'm considering replacing the stock throttle with something else that's easier to modulate the motor power.

[@Reiger1984]

​@@christopherhinkel8274 i think your cruz v8 is almost the same as my ouxi v8. I have double battery and a backseat too. When riding with someone, the front end gets very light, because the person sitting behind you, is sitting behind the rear wheel. I don't have a throttle though, as its illegal here.

[@christopherhinkel8274]

@Reiger1984 my controller hits hard, and unfortunately, I can't adjust that. This situation has gotten worse as I did the shunt mode on the controller, so now the motor runs at 30A or more. I've even turned off PAS as that sometimes comes on unexpectedly and created one small accident. After that, I rotated the handlebars forward so that I could comfortably sit a lot closer to the front of the bike. It looks a tad bit silly, but I'd rather be safe.

[@sandrinam88]

Hi, I've been following you for a few days but I already love all the videos for Ridstar!! I think you know that in Europe (Spain-Fuerteventura-Canary Island) to be able to travel on asphalt roads we have to limit the power, and here you explained how to do it (for us max 250w) but can you disconnect the accelerator cable? this too is essential to be legal. Thanks for the reply

[@BRichSolution]

You can turn throttle off in the settings. And limit amps to 6 amps will limit motor to 250W

[@BRichSolution]

I don’t think you can set the throttle to walk only mode. What you can do is turn off the throttle completely in the settings or consider buying 3 pin SM connectors and wire in on/off switch under the seat so you can turn the throttle on and off quickly

My P15 is set to 41 miles and it will not let me change it. What exactly does this setting do? Does it tell you how much battery battery is left with that amount of mileage?

[@BRichSolution]

P15 is under-voltage when the bike shuts off to protect the battery. See user manual drive.google.com/file/d/11lAw9iM5LSeClU6BIZ9uhWouXFD8nR_3/view?usp=share_link

I just got my ridstar q20 and can hit 30 mph but the speedometer only goes 8.9 and stays there even when im not riding it, is there a setting im missing

[@BRichSolution]

check P06 setting for tire size as it should be 23 for 23 inch diameter tire. Smaller number will read slower on display. see full manual drive.google.com/file/d/11lAw9iM5LSeClU6BIZ9uhWouXFD8nR_3/view

Hello I just wanted to say thank you for the video. I had one question for you, so I bought the ridstar q20 from Ali express for 740. I got the 48v 20AH and 1500w model. Do you think I got scammed?

[@BRichSolution]

If the bike arrives and it has 20ah battery then you did good for $740

[@thund3rb0lt63]

Does this model auto reset back to the 25kmh (15mph) setting if u hold the minus and the power button together?

[@BRichSolution]

No, holding + and - button saves settings that you adjusted

[@thund3rb0lt63]

@@BRichSolution I mean the right power button and the minus button. I have a v20 pro and on my model it resets it to 25km/h, same display same buttons

[@quangquannguyen7721]

I bought ridstar FM-001, and the voltage shows 54V, no matter I changed the voltage level at the setting P03. Do you have any idea for it? Thank you

Measure battery voltage with voltmeter on + and - contacts to verify 54v

Hello Mr. Rich, sorry to bother you, but is it possible that you can show us a mod or a hack to go a little bit faster please?

[@BRichSolution]

Its maxed out due to physics. $5000 super73 only go 32mph stock. You need to increase volts to 52V or 60V but that cost a lot of money

[@OU812NVME]

Yeah well my friend went to go change the brakes and he had a special order of them from the Chinese red star site we cannot find them anywhere else

The brakes are nothing special and can be easily upgraded unless you must have brake lever cut off wires?

_Hi, what pressure do you use on your tires?!

[@BRichSolution]

18 psi

[@jingostanklong1265]

If you change the wheel diameter in setting i believe it can get up to 40 mph

[@BRichSolution]

Thats what the speedometer says but let validate with GPS data. I did that on my Sondors and was able to get 3 more mph

[@BRichSolution]

The bike & motor is limited by power output limited to 20A from controller. I changed the wheel diameter from p06 setting wheel size from default 23' to 16" and speed read slower on display but top speed with GPS was 30 mph. This worked with my Sondors bike but not with Ridstar. I set wheel diameter to 30" and display top speed was 40 mph, but GPS said 30 mph. This confirms controller limits the speed by only outputting 20A

Is the charger bad or battery? Charge the battery for 4-6 hours. If it does not charger then buy this charger from amazon amzn.to/47WemI4 to prove that that charge or battery is bad. If you determine battery or charger is bad reach out to seller for replacement battery or charger

Ah yes very common issue with bikes. Loosen bolt that retain the brake caliper and its allowed to slide a little for adjustment. Squeeze the brake level to center the caliper on the rotor and then tighten bolts. See various youtube videos for adjusting brakes on bikes

Error 10 means the controller can't communicate with the LCD, so you must gave damaged one of the wires inside the cable, or you wiped out the controller or LCD when some wires shorted. Check that no pins in the connector got bent
