Ridstar E26 pro review and opinions

Possibly you can get help with your display since there are some really astute individuals here if the company doesn't respond. However, don't be surprised if your battery starts losing charge faster because "second-grade" cells aren't unusual with some of these companies.

Thanks the display is showing all info all the time in overlayed form leaving it all totally unreadable. It also has a weird green looking splotch in the display when it's off now. It's been an ongoing problem for several months but I haven't been able to ride due to health issues so I wasn't able to get proof until yesterday. In the past they have always gotten back to me within hours, now that I have the proof they requested not one word in response! Hopefully I'll hear something by tomorrow if not I'll contact Ebay. The bike has a year warranty which runs out in a little over a month. I did buy the two year insurance plan through ebay so one way or another it should be covered. The bike has been great and customer service has been as well until now. It only has 600 odd miles last I could read the display so I'm sure it's still under 700 but starting to get close to 700 total miles! Way to few miles for actual problems that aren't covered by the warranty!

It took 5 solid hours to recharge so my battery was way lower than it had any right to be after less than 15 miles total. 21AH battery 3 amp charger takes roughly 7 hours to fully recharge. I am not 100% sure but I am 99% sure this is the longest I've ever charged my battery. I don't like it getting below 30% and have never let it until this happened!

Na batteries fine. I did learn several things today on my 25 mile ride. One the rear tire was down to ten psi and I think that may be where my mileage went. I hadn't put air in it since last year, it's back up to 15psi now where I usually try and keep it. It sure rode smoother with 10psi. Found out of I get close up to the display and way way off to the left I can read it. After my ride of 25 miles I had exactly half charge left or 47.4 volts. I did not have the trailer with me today. Turns out I've put a few more miles on than I had realized, 764 miles after todays ride. Dang bike is a pure joy to ride! Once I get it up to 2400 miles I figure I'll call it paid for! LMAO So I'm almost 1/3 there. hahaha

Good luck; I hope it keeps charging (pun) down the road or wherever for you.

You want more miles put 3 inch wide tires on and pump them up to 35 psi you will also be surprised by how much better the bike handles.

Thanks but I love my 26x4 tires and will take comfort over a few more miles! My old broken body needs all the cushion it can get at this stage in life! lol Speaking of tires I already bought a set of 26x4 Ultraverse to replace the chow yang's that came on it once they wear out. I just hope I don't miss the side lugs these tires have they come in quite handy with the terrain here.
