Questions people ask about the Ridstar E26 Pro
How much does it weigh?
The Ridstar E26 Pro weighs 29.9 kg. That is 6% above the median weight of 28.1 kg for mountain e-bikes. It is not a light bike. You will feel the weight when lifting it or carrying it up stairs.
How much torque does it have?
Torque is 40 Nm. That is half the median torque of 80 Nm. This is a hub motor, not a mid-drive. Low torque means less punch off the line and less help on steep climbs.
What speed class is it?
It is a fast class e-bike. Assist goes above 25 km/h. Top speed is 50 km/h. Check local rules before you ride.
How far does it really go?
The manufacturer claims 80 km. MathBikes estimates 64 km, with a band from 56 to 71 km. That estimate is 20% below the claim. The estimate comes from the range calculator, which uses one reference ride. It is not a measurement.
What does it cost to run?
The price is 1200 USD. Running costs depend on electricity and maintenance. Use the cost calculator to see yearly costs. Warranty is not listed, so budget for possible repairs.
Where it falls short
The Ridstar E26 Pro has low torque. At 40 Nm, it is 50% below the class median. That makes it less capable on steep hills and for heavy riders. The max payload is 136 kg, which is fine, but torque matters for acceleration.
Who should buy it
This bike fits riders who value range and price over power. It has a 1104 Wh battery, which is 53% above the median. It costs 1200 USD, which is 37% below the median. If you ride mostly flat routes and want to go far, this is a strong option.
- You want a long estimated range of 64 km, which is 52% above the median.
- You want a low upfront price of 1200 USD, well below the median of 1899 USD.
- You ride on flat or rolling terrain where 40 Nm of torque is enough.
Look elsewhere if you need strong hill climbing. The 40 Nm torque is a real limit. Also consider the weight: 29.9 kg is heavy to lift. And there is no throttle, no step-through frame, and no cargo capability.
