Ridstar Q20 - How to get rid of that RATTLE (it's the controller under the seat...)
If you just got a Ridstar Q20, you have probably noticed a persistent rattle under the seat, especially on rougher terrain. The problem is that they have the controller just sitting there in a plastic box under the seat. It's not stabilized. In this video, we use a piece of the packing material to solve the Ridstar Rattle problem.

We got an eBike - Ridstar Q20
Переглядів 5782 місяці тому
We got a new Ridstar Q20 ordered directly from their site. It is a Beast of a bike and it's working really well so far (50 miles on it). We put a DNM spring shock on it and backed off all the preload and it's a nice ride now. The forks are not great but they don't suck as much as that stock shock. Overall SO FAR it's just performing like an absolute MACHINE. Let's see if it's durable over time....

We rode the TRE to Ft. Worth Central Station, then took The Dash to the Museum of Science and History. Not as impressive as the Perot in Dallas, but my grandson absolutely loved his time here.
Amtrak to OKC - A Great American City

We rode Amtrak's Heartland Flyer from Fort Worth, TX to Oklahoma City, OK to see what was going on in the city on St. Patrick's Day 2023. We were absolutely delighted by this city! It's clean, safe, and fun. We look forward to going back with family and friends. We visited the memorial site of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building. We think this is a place all Americans should see for themselve...

We ride TEXRail into Grapevine, Texas, have lunch at Harvest Hall, and ride the Grapevine Vintage Railroad with the grandson. This is a great experience for families with small children. Spend the extra bucks for the Touring Class so you get the huge windows. This trip is 100% kid approved by my grandson. Also in this video: Hotel Vin in Grapevine, Texas

Our kids loved KidZania USA in Frisco, Texas (Dallas)
Переглядів 2 тис.2 роки тому
I went to KidZania USA in Dallas with my kids and grandkids. The little ones got to make pizza, work in a hospital, be a veterinarian, serve on the police force, and whole lot more. It's an indoor city where kids learn and do jobs to earn money that they can use to buy candy and other little things at the store. They loved it - I think this is an experience they will always remember.

I’m gonna get it since I can’t find anything better my budget is 1500$ i would get the x21 but idk
This is definitely what i wanted 3:33 to hear, got one being delivered this Monday
The dallas amtrak station is a piece of crap.
That is one quiet train trip.
I thought you were going to start it so we could hear it!
what class ebike is this??
Not sure technically but it has 5 speeds - 4th being the "legal" 27.5 mph and the 5th going on up to 33 mph. This one has 48V20A so it's technically you got 960W. SO FAR, it's working well and super fun. My mountain bike is jealous because I'm spending more time with this thing.
Baik linda
Hi Dev!
Where did you get this bike
Anybody have a ds2 with 27.5 wheels
I heard that one of these companies have the rights or patents to one of Hondas 125s from like 20 or 30 years ago... Hondas engines were still bulletproof back in that time. There are some chassis mods they need for sure. Frame mounts especially. There are only 2 and the bolts are smaller than the diameter of the wholes on the engine. I think people drill them out and install m36s or something like that. Im getting ready to do some work on mine.
I live in San Antonio
Yammie Noob savaged this bike! You didn't have many miles on it. I don't think I want one! I'm soured on e-bikes, had 2 lemons in the last 2 yrs. Going scooter or minimoto. I did have a good Motorino e-scooter. My Daymak Vermont lasted 2 mos. My NCM T 1,000 lasted 8 mos. Going gas.
I just found one of these on Offer Up for 100$ stock in good condition about to pick it up in a few hours hope everything works out🤞
what is the plug on top of left side of engine for ?
Dude that sucks. I didn't even ride mine until I replaced all the shady parts on it. You need to replace the chain, sprocket, carb, mounting bolts, add third mounting point in the bottom, oil, fuel filter, EGR delete and exhaust. I didn't even ride mine until all that was done.
This dude talks PAINFULLY slow. I had to stop watching cuz i cant tolerate slow ass talking.
It wasn't the manufacturer that caused the issue. This was caused by unnessary thinkering.
It is pretty well documented (on UA-cam, Reddit, and other places) that this bike has a few things it needs initially, the chain being one of the biggest. I have not figured out which stretches quicker, Baodiao (the maker of the bike) chains or taffy. A couple hundred dollars later and the bike is decently reliable for what it costs. It's a far better cost ratio than what I am pouring into my Honda Navi just to get it to 50 mph reliably.
Scared to take the Amtrak to San Antonio. I heard they sometimes check immigration status. Is that true in your experience?
no it is not true.
They won't tell you.
I threw my ds2 out last year, I dumped it in the trash and walked away, probably wouldn’t have ridden it anyway but I regret it
What would it cost for the manufacturer to put normal size wheels on it? The small tires make it look like a toy or a child's bike. I'm sure the 125 Honda clone is a great little motor, but I wouldn't buy it for the cosmetic or visual asthetics reason alone.
Yes, you did pass the Alamodome. And the riverwalk is a great place to be, day or night. Your video is still pretty good, considering that the window view of the scenery is a tad foggy. Good job anyway. Thanks.
Slap a new motor in it for $350 or so and keep going. Put a good chain on it.
Enjoyed your video, worked most of those towns many years ago on music circuit, Amtrak not super reliable!
I would only buy the bike for the chassis anyway lol. Get a Dayton 4v with about 20hp or more , put a good chain on it , and enjoy it
Looks gr8. Worth keeping it looking that way.
I was drinking and ordered one thinking it was a mopad .
This is how you're supposed to do it. I did the same and couldn't be happier.
I am not convinced. I think that you are the exception to the rule.
They have improved the assembly quality a lot in the last couple of years. But don't fool yourself, there are many things on that bike that must be changed, or else you run a risk.
That definitely looks like the result of a chain stretching out, a 428 gold chain from cycle gear or similar places is the way to go as amazon sells a lot of fake parts. These motors can be replaced for around 200-300$ if the 190-212 option is too steep or just not interested. That bike is still a canvas to work with regardless of the unfortunate blemishes. You may have sold this bike out by now so this is more for anyone who has this same issue.
Do you have a list of those parts or a link?
I have a DS3 that I bought in the year 2000 from Poison Spider Bicycles in Ottawa. I was 18 when I bought it, now I'm 40!!! OH God lol. At the time my Mom was like "Why are you spending 1000 dollars on a bicycle? (which I earned at McDonald's), You're never gonna ride that thing!". And every time she visits me I point it out to her and say "See Mom? See? I still have it! And it is why I am in such good shape and I am able to keep up with my toddler and be a great father. It gave me my health!!". I would have paid 10 000 dollars for it. DS3 FOR LIFE.
Dropper post?
Thanks for the chain recommendation!
This has nothing to do with being a Chinese manufactured bike or engine. For the record, the Grom is made in Tailand NOT Japan like everybody thinks.
How’s this bike been now? Still have it? 😊
What brace is that?
That's an SBA4 brace I believe.
Glad I'm not the only one still rocking their old Warp!
I did the same thing a few years back, I still love my Warp! I've got the same fork, its been great; but, be sure to wipe down the stanchons whenever they get wet. Mine started rusting/putting almost immediately. How's that rear air shock? I almost put the same one on; but, the stock one has held up very well.
You should have been checking the chain tension after every ride. This looks like your fault not the bike. Chain got loose and tsunami
Good video. Might get one these Chinese clones in some model. I think I would try it for the price.
I live in Leakey Tx. Rhett's car collection was awesome to see. He will be missed.
it was an awesome experience! love what this place brought out in the children. great video!
June 4th 1982
Anyone here in San Bernadino or close by? I just bought this and need help with the upgrades. First bike and need the extra speed 😁
Have a T7 and my chain is giving me issues too. I tune it up and it still makes a lot of noise, and it has a KMC basic 12 speed chain, going to buy a Shimano one and see if It fixes
Thanks can you make a video on process of getting plates ? Also before and after after market parts
Rite most important part and he talked nothing about ...
Bro what size your frame is?
It's Cast iron block so no shit it's not going to take a chain impact with torque being applied. The chain breaking is your own due diligence issue. You are just about the only person I've seen complain about them being about overall. Have some accountability, these things are dirty cheap so to complain like you didn't know you would have to look over me things and research what usually should be replaced is just ignorance. This is why we can't have nice things. I'm 700 miles in and I love mine, about to try and put air ride on the rear 😤🤙
I have three of these and they all have well over 3500 miles .these bikes teach you how to bbw a motorcycle mechanic lol
did you ever have any problems with a noisy clutch?
