Loved This, great real world look at your bikes. I think it is one of the best high performance models out there, can't wait for mine to arrive ordered (2) for me and my Misses. Cheers peeps
How long is the wait?
Awesome stuff Chris 💪
Thank Cathy🫶🏻
I like what I see, but I'm still waiting for the first critical review of this bike without it being sponsored by Ristretto, or company personnel hovering around the rider.
Agreed...Every "review" I see is made or sponsored by Ristretto. While theres literally 2 dozen ebike review channels out there that would do it for free. That spooks me that Ristretto is hiding something.
@@donvee2000Right? What’s their hold up. Ships in 2 months. No one has even gotten to take this home for a night to mess with lol
They have limited number of pre-production units which they keep on-site so people can stop by and test drive or to take with them to events to demo. I'm sure once they start mass production and have more units on hands, they'll be willing to send some out for review.
@@ashegam Fair point!
What a fantastic bike design, you should get an industrial art award for this bike. If Steve McQueen had an electric bike, this would be it.
An absolute masterpiece in design! The power on paper and from what others say sounds exciting! Wish i could drive/fit test this bike IRL. This will be my first ebike purchase. Looking to use it as my daily commuter and weekend cruiser. I'm a big guy 6'2" 280. About to drop some bills on this beauty! So please if anyone has any input or recommendations for me, let me know.
I think you’re making a great choice yea it’s a bit pricy but for the specs and look I think it’s a home run
Without even one critical review, yet... that's mighty risky.
nice i was just about to look up the weight capacity since I am 260
Order a a20 in bronzo can’t wait !!
did u get it yet?
@@greenrush4313 last update I got was. They have been shipped out and on their way to the US. Should arrive at their California warehouse in the beginning of June. 👍🏼
I didnt know there were 2 wheel sizes. I still think Id go with the 20s but choices are good
1)Is the power output adjusted between the 21" and 24"? All things being equal, the 24" would have lower torque at the wheel but a higher top speed, while the 21" would have the inverse of that(more torque, lower top speed), because...physics/engineering. Unless motor output or gearing has been tuned to bring them into parity.
2) I would assume it has a torque sensor, being mid-drive, but that's quite a unique gearing/chain path, so...torque sensor?
3) Does that sweet taillight illuminate when lights are on(not just under braking)? overall a gorgeous product, very tempted...
When will they deliver the product? They said January. I'm not feeling the love... Take your money but where's the product?
Very nice bike
8:14 are these coming to Salt Lake City Utah by any chance?
This is around the same price as a Super 73 RX and the Ristretto 512 destroys it in every single performance category it's embarrassing. This is the first E Moped/ebike where the price actually makes sense for what you're getting. All I have to say is I want want one haha but I'll have to save up some cash first.
Aniioki A8 pro max ftw bud. 120 miles on throttle only and 220+ on PAS. much longer range and adjustable seat height AND that 52V /60 amp hour battery
is this usa only or is it coming to the uk?
I love this bike boss. Wish I could test drive it in Ohio. Come check me out anytime
how is this compared to the Super 73 models? could be cool to do a comparison video on speed, spec etc etc...
do a search for Ristretto Squadra, he's posted a few video's on the specs and a video comparing their speeds. At the end of the day, there is no comparison, one is leaps and bounds better then the other and much better value. I'll leave it to you to do your own due diligence and figure out which one is which.
Dam man such a good looking bike and great specs..I wanna just wheelie this thing
Do you think it will be doable with the thumb throttle?
@@wrenboy2726 yea just annoying I hope there’s a way to go full throttle
@@manasseh7 I'm positive you can swap it with a twist throttle. I think I even saw someone on one of the Squadra videos asking something similar and the guy said you can easily put a twist on if you want one. Not sure which video it was.
@@wrenboy2726 yea I’m goin the surron route for 2024 but if it become a hassle I’m going with this bike for sure
@@manasseh7 I've really been eyeing the A20 or a Surron myself. If this gets pushed to Jan 2024 I'll already have a Surron by then. No way I can wait 2+ more months. With the A20 being lighter, a hair smaller, and an even easier battery to remove I really would like to go the Ristretto route. We will see
Only thing I’m worried about is servicing when something goes wrong. I have zero experience with these type of mid-drives
And no dealer network yet for assistance with this new product. Lots of excited, impulsive buyers, though, ready to throw $$$ at them. I've seen this before, many times.
Yeah I thought about that too
If you're wondering about motor and controller support they're made by CYC.
How tall was the guy at 9:12?
And shipment has been delayed multiple times, I'm close to demanding a refund and going with my original idea of purchasing a bike from super73!
I understand your disappointment with the new delay. Some things are out of my hands, we are doing our best to ensure the highest quality. We expect delivery in January.
DONT BUY SUPER 73!!! Their frames SNAP! Their quality is horrible!! ITS ALL “BRAND HYPE”!!! this ristretto 512 is the best thing I’ve seen for e-bikes in a LOOOONG TIME.
@@dexgray4581 let him buy that Sucker73 so when a 512 pulls next to him, he can just look over and regret his life choices lol
@@dexgray4581 Ya I've been trying to buy a bloody tire for my RX from them for 6 months and can't get it . I got the back but cant buy the front grizly tire anywhere . At least that ships to Canada. I just bought (per ordered ) this bike after waiting to get my bandit x trail pro for 6 months and it never materialized. This has been such a depressing process . Hopefully these guys don't pull a bandit on me and don't deliver
I'm just looking for a none chinese made
how mas a20 price in italy
Will this be shipped before Thanksgiving? Was promised in Oct now pushed another month.
it was never promised in Oct. From the very start their website stated delivery was planned for Q4 of 2023, and still says the same.
@@ashegam Yes it was said around October but now pushed to November I got an Email from Ristretto
the dealbreaker for me is that for a 4k+ price i expect a 60v and this is a 54v which make me leans toward the talaria/surron or wait for the lyric grafiti X
$3400 out the door, they have a 15% off active coupon right now. You're not going to find anything comparable to this in the market.
talaria and surron arent legal road bikes
@@ashegam Now they are charging $450 for shipping…
I cant buy one till i see the new seat. They never show how fast it actually goes on video. Love the look tho
Hey Tony, I’ll be sharing a new saddle video in my next video. We’ll also be posting it on our Ristretto Owners Facebook group. Stay tuned for the top speed video!
Every "review" I see is made or sponsored by Ristretto. While theres literally 2 dozen ebike review channels out there that would do it for free. That spooks me that Ristretto is hiding something.
They're not hiding anything. They have limited number of pre-production units which they keep on-site so people can stop by and test drive or to take with them to events to demo. I'm sure once they start mass production and have more units on hands, they'll be willing to send some out for review. Nice conspiracy theory though!
Nothing to hide we offer group rides every week. We're anticipating reviews from Electrek and several other channels in the next couple month’s. As we receive the first batch by the end of Q4, you can expect more reviews to follow. Keep an eye.
You should make more of them since you are selling them to people who have money. I would love to get one, but I would have to save up for a bit.
How off road capable is this?
I don't have hands on experience with the 512 but since it is mid-drive and the large battery is center mounted that makes for a better balanced bike than hub motor ebikes. There's no hub motor in the wheels to effect the weight meaning the shocks that come stock on this bike will perform quite well. The front fork and rear shocks are all DNM suspension components which are commonly used as entry/mid tier downhill mountain bike suspension, so it should fair much better than 97% of all other higher end ebikes of this "cafe" style currently on the market.
Bottom line, it's not recommended or intended to be an off-road machine but it'll definitely hold it's own and not fall apart or bottom out easily.
@@zadraking Only thing I would disagree with you on is that it is 100% advertised on their website home page as a more than capable off-road ebike. Now, how accurate that is, we have yet to see. BUT Chris does have a vid up with them riding it on a dirt track. Hopefully it holds up nicely but only time will tell
@@zadraking Thanks for the details. Very thorough.
Fixed seat bikes hurt my knees
Seat has been upgraded, watch out your next video.
cool. release some helmets.
Im sorry i dont like this design of the Ristretto 512. I think the old design 303 bike looks better to me. All they did was follow every other ebike company design. I bought a ebike off of Alibaba for half the price. I got 72v battery, 5,000w motor, side bags. The range on the ebike is 70 miles i got on a full charge battery.
Best luck with your Alibaba bike.
@@chgerardino still going strong man
@@chgerardino what is wrong with Alibaba? Half the ebikes in American is made in China.
whats the name of that bike, sounds nice
