Ridstar Q20Pro

Two motors and two batteries set the Ridstar Q20Pro apart, for riders who put traction and range first: a 1000 W motor front and back for 2000 W in total, and a pair of 52V 20Ah packs holding 2080 Wh. By the brand's figures, that is good for up to 290 km with pedal assist or 121 km on the throttle.

Highlights

• Dual 1000 W motors. Front and rear, 90 N·m each, so both wheels pull; top speed 55 km/h by the brand's figure.
• Dual 52V 20Ah batteries. 52V 40Ah in total, and the brand quotes 4–6 h to charge.
• Hydraulic disc brakes. Front and rear.
• Full suspension. Front and rear, over 20 x 4.0 in fat tires.
• Shimano 7-speed. Mechanical shifting on an aluminum frame.

Who it suits

Good to know

• Its 2000 W motor is above the 500 W limit for e-bikes in Ontario, Quebec, B.C. and Alberta, so it is sold for private-property use. See the rules by province.
• Range is the brand's figure; speed, hills, rider weight, tire pressure and cold all change it. How to estimate your range.
• Ships free anywhere in Canada (no P.O. boxes).
• The brand has not published the weight or maximum load for the Q20Pro.
