Two motors and a 23-amp-hour pack. The E26 Pro is the 26-inch line's heavy hitter.
The biggest battery Ridstar puts on a 26-inch wheel, with a motor at each end.
The E26 Pro is Ridstar's dual-motor 26-inch bike at $719: a combined 2000W, a 48V 23Ah pack holding 1,104 watt-hours, hydraulic brakes, 26x4.0 tires and a 330 lb rating. It is out of stock with us today; the Q50 carries 1,200 watt-hours at $799.
Out of stock right now. The Q50 is the nearest bike on our shelf: the same 2000W rating and hydraulic brakes, with 1,200 watt-hours against the E26 Pro's 1,104, and a published 330 lb load rating. See the Q50.

This model, the E26 Pro Dual-Motor Fat Tire Electric Bike, is named in a UK government safety report, and its maker is the subject of two US federal stop-use warnings. Everything below is quoted from the regulators and the courts.
Before either US notice, the UK Office for Product Safety and Standards published Product Safety Report 2506-0011 on 19 June 2025 for the "Ridstar E-Bikes Q20-Plus, Q20-Mini, E26 Pro and Chargers", risk level "Serious": "the charger has poor quality soldering, and the transformer does not meet the minimum requirements for creepage and clearance distances." Its corrective measure: "The import has been rejected at the border." The E26 Pro is one of the three models that report names; the charger, not the battery, is the part it describes.
The March 19, 2026 warning covers the "Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Pro e-bikes": "The e-bikes' batteries and wires can ignite, posing a fire hazard to consumers." The Commission "is aware of 11 reports of fire, including one burn injury, five reports of smoke inhalation, and two reports of property damage totaling over $40,000." Its instruction: "remove the battery from the e-bike immediately and dispose of the battery following local hazardous waste disposal procedures. Do not sell or give away these hazardous batteries."
The June 25, 2026 warning covers the "Ridstar Q20 and Q20 Lite e-bikes": "The front wheel can detach without warning, posing a crash hazard to consumers." The Commission "is aware of 32 reports of the front wheel detaching, including 31 reports of injuries such as concussions, broken bones, cuts, scrapes, and bruises." Its instruction: "stop using the e-bikes immediately and dispose of them. Do not sell or give away these hazardous e-bikes."
Neither notice is a recall, and there is no repair, refund or replacement program. The March notice states that "the manufacturer, Huizhou Xingqishi Sporting Goods Co., Ltd., of China, has refused to agree to an acceptable recall"; the June notice states that it "has been unresponsive to CPSC's requests for information about these products or a recall."
Two product-liability suits over a detached Ridstar front wheel were filed in 2026 and are undecided: Cunanan v. Amazon.com Services LLC (D. Or., filed April 7, 2026) alleges a Ridstar Q20 caused "numerous facial fractures"; L.E. v. Walmart Inc. (Palm Beach County, filed July 30, 2026, removed to S.D. Fla.) alleges a Walmart-bought Ridstar's front wheel "unexpectedly detached during normal operation" and injured a minor. Both are allegations, not findings.
The same company also sells the YVY brand. The full record, the Trustpilot scores, the warranty terms and every model's status are in our Ridstar brand profile, verified September 11, 2026.
Two driven wheels change what a heavy bike does on loose ground: it pulls away instead of spinning, and it climbs seated where a single rear motor would break traction. On 26-inch fat tires that is a genuinely capable combination.
Ridstar's 48 volts times its 23 amp-hours. Two motors want energy, and this is the biggest tank Ridstar puts behind a 26-inch wheel — around 15% more than the 960 watt-hour bikes on the same wheel size.
One of the few bikes in the 26-inch line where Ridstar states hydraulics rather than mechanical discs. On the heaviest, most powerful bike in that line, it is the right call.
The load ceiling covers rider and cargo together and is published rather than implied, and a seven-speed drivetrain keeps you pedalling usefully when the pack runs low.
The E26 Pro is $719 when it is here, against a $1,699.99 compare-at on our own listing, live 29 August 2026. Today the Q50 offers more battery, the same hydraulic brakes and the same 330 lb rating for $799. Both ship free in the lower 48, with Shop Pay instalments offered at the payment step.
Your E26 Pro ships free anywhere in the lower 48, with tracking emailed the day it leaves. Nothing is added at checkout: the $719 on this page is the $719 you pay.
Shop Pay instalments are live at our checkout, so you can split the $719 into payments instead of putting it on a card in one go. You pick it at the payment step.
If something covered fails, you send us photos and we take it from there — we file and track the claim, and arrange the part or the replacement. You never deal with the factory, and you never pay to be helped.
Support, warranty handling and returns are all run from here, in your timezone, under US consumer law. One storefront, one set of terms, one company that has to stand behind the sale.
That last one is worth more on this brand than on most. Search “Ridstar” and four storefronts come back, each presenting itself as the official one, at prices that differ by hundreds of dollars for the same machine — and they do not share return terms. Ridstar.net publishes a statement on its own site that reads, in full: “Except ridstar.net, other similar websites are our dealers. We hope that all customers can find the right merchants to make purchases, so that they can get the best, most complete and most timely after-sales service.” Buying the E26 Pro here removes that question entirely: the terms below are ours, they are the ones that govern your order, and the specifications on this page come from one named listing on ridstar.net/products/ridstar®-e-bike-e26pro-folding-fat-tire-mountain-electric-bike, retrieved 2026-08-26 with the U.S. market forced.

Source: Ridstar Official Statement, retrieved 2026-08-26. Ridstar's own return policy charges 15% processing fee plus $200 return shipping per e-bike on a cancellation after despatch, and ridstar.com, the other storefront, publishes a different set: a 14-day window and a 25% restocking fee. Two storefronts, two return policies, same brand. Those terms govern an order placed with Ridstar. Yours is placed with us.
Free shipping on every electric bike within the contiguous United States (lower 48). Orders are prepared and dispatched within 1–3 business days. Most e-bikes arrive within 5–10 business days after dispatch, depending on location.
Ships via trusted parcel and freight carriers — UPS, FedEx, and LTL freight for larger items — with tracking emailed at dispatch.
Open the box and look it over on the day it lands. Report damage or a wrong item with photos inside 48 hours and it becomes our problem to solve. You send the photos; we handle the rest.
Bikes with power, charging, or component issues are covered under the manufacturer warranty; Redtail coordinates repair or replacement remotely at no cost to the customer.
A one-year limited warranty from Ridstar Bikes, running from the original owner's receipt or purchase date, whichever is later, as verified by Ridstar. Redtail files and tracks the claim for you; you do not deal with the factory.
Change-of-mind returns run on unopened, factory-sealed items requested within 72 hours of delivery, at a 15% restocking fee plus return shipping — against Ridstar's own return policy, which charges 15% processing fee plus $200 return shipping per e-bike direct, and ridstar.com, the other storefront, publishes a different set: a 14-day window and a 25% restocking fee. Two storefronts, two return policies, same brand. Cancellations carry a 3% transaction fee because card processing is non-recoverable.

Alaska, Hawaii, U.S. territories, P.O. boxes, and remote areas may incur extra charges or be excluded — contact us before ordering.
| What | Coverage |
|---|---|
| Hardware and firmware defects | 1 year from the warranty begin date |
| Inbound and outbound shipping on a valid claim | Ridstar's cost, within the warranty period |
| Return shipping where no fault is found | the buyer's cost |
| Out-of-warranty repairs | parts at material cost; no labour charge where Ridstar sold the bike directly |
This Limited Warranty covers any defects in hardware or firmware under regular use during the Warranty Period.
A one-year limited warranty issued by Ridstar Bikes, beginning from the original owner's receipt or purchase date, whichever is later, as verified by Ridstar, as published on its warranty page and retrieved 2026-08-26. One caveat worth knowing: Ridstar's own product listings print a bullet headed "ONE-YEAR WARRANTY" that then states a warranty on the motor, battery and charger — on some models one year, on others two — while its warranty page states one year for the whole bike. Every page states the figure from that model's own listing and says the page disagrees.

Specifications as published by Ridstar at ridstar.net/products/ridstar®-e-bike-e26pro-folding-fat-tire-mountain-electric-bike, archived 2026-08-26 — read out of the copy on that page — Ridstar publishes no specification table for this model, so every figure above traces to a sentence in its own description, and the sentence behind each one is on file. Watt-hour totals are our arithmetic from Ridstar's own volts and amp-hours and are marked as such. These are the manufacturer's ratings, not our test results.
Where Ridstar's own material prints more than one figure, the row above carries the value this page uses and the alternate is recorded here: Ridstar also prints 87 miles for the range; the table carries the lower published figure; Ridstar prints “hydraulic dual brakes”, “hydraulic disc brakes” and “dual disc brake” across its copy; Ridstar prints “full suspension”, “front suspension fork”, “front and rear suspension” and “dual suspension” for this model.
Manufacturer pages carry marketing, and marketing sometimes disagrees with the marketing an inch below it. Every place Ridstar's own material disagrees with itself for this model, every figure it leaves out, and which value this page uses:
We pulled Ridstar's entire live catalog on 2026-08-26 — all 93 published listings — and worked out what is actually on the shelf: 26 bike listings, 11 scooters and 41 accessories. Among the bikes we found 4 pairs of listings that are the same machine listed twice, counted only where the descriptions are byte-identical or the two listings share most of the same image files. The widest gap is the Q30 Pro 4000W, which appears at $899.00 and $1269.00 on the same storefront. That is why the price on this page is matched to a named listing rather than to “the manufacturer”.
Redtail original analysis, counted from Ridstar's public storefront feed and collection endpoints on 2026-08-26; every price cross-checked against a second, independently fetched endpoint. Method: Two listings are called the same bike only where their description text is byte-identical after markup is stripped, or they share 60% or more of the same image FILES. Shared boilerplate paragraphs alone were not enough — an earlier pass that keyed on the first 400 characters produced four false pairs and was discarded.
The E26 Pro is a two-wheel-drive 26-inch fat bike for trail, forest road and private land.
Ridstar publishes the motor as a combined 2000W and the top speed as 28 mph. Federal law defines the low-speed electric bicycle category this way:
the term “low-speed electric bicycle” means a two- or three-wheeled vehicle with fully operable pedals and an electric motor of less than 750 watts (1 h.p.), whose maximum speed on a paved level surface, when powered solely by such a motor while ridden by an operator who weighs 170 pounds, is less than 20 mph.
15 U.S.C. § 2085(b) (Pub. L. 107–319, § 1, Dec. 4, 2002, 116 Stat. 2776), carried into 16 C.F.R. § 1512.2(a)(2). Retrieved 2026-08-26 from the U.S. Government Publishing Office and confirmed word for word against Cornell's Legal Information Institute.
Set those two published numbers against that threshold and this bike sits outside the federal low-speed electric bicycle definition. What that means where you live is decided by your state: some apply moped, motor-driven cycle or off-highway vehicle rules above the federal line, and those can reach registration, insurance, licensing, helmets and which paths and trails are open to you. Some states set their own wattage ceiling instead. Check yours before you ride on any public road, bike path or trail.
Start here: our state-by-state e-bike law guide. Current as of 2026-08-26; state law changes, so re-check yours before relying on it.
Four things buyers ask before ordering this one, and what each actually means for the ride you are planning.
Its page says 50 miles in one place and 87 in another for the same bike, with nothing to reconcile them and no conditions attached to either.
Plan from the pack: 1,104 watt-hours is a measured quantity, and two motors will spend it faster than one in exchange for traction you cannot get another way. Treat 50 miles as the working figure and anything beyond as a light day.
Ridstar publishes a combined 2000W and never splits it, and no continuous-versus-peak figure is stated for either motor.
For riding, the number that matters is that both wheels drive. For paperwork it can matter more, because some states write their rules around a per-motor rating; our state-by-state e-bike law guide carries the table. If you want one settled figure on a single motor, the Q50 publishes 2000W and is in stock at $799.
Neither figure appears for this model, and none is borrowed from the other 26-inch bikes, which are different frames. Two motors and a 23Ah pack make it the heaviest bike in that line, which is exactly why no number is invented here.
The 330 lb load rating is published and covers rider plus cargo. If a lift, a rack limit or a doorway decides it, tell us the constraint and we will measure a unit rather than estimate.
Not today; it is out of stock on our store. This page stays up so its specification and sources remain available.
Ask and we will tell you when it lands. If the reason you are here is a big pack with hydraulic brakes, the Q50 beats it on capacity today; if it is two driven wheels, the Q30 Pro is in stock.
Ridstar publishes 28 mph, a manufacturer claim on throttle with no test conditions stated, and it sits above the 20 mph federal low-speed line.
Ridstar gives 50 miles in one place and 87 in another; the table carries 50. The pack holds 1,104 watt-hours, 48 volts times 23 amp-hours, and two motors spend it faster than one.
Your state decides. Federal law defines a low-speed electric bicycle as having a motor under 750 watts and a motor-only top speed under 20 mph; this bike is published at a combined 2000W and 28 mph, outside that definition, and some states write their rules around a per-motor rating that Ridstar does not publish. The statute is quoted in full above.
Yes, published by Ridstar — one of the few in the 26-inch line that states them.
Ridstar publishes no weight for this model, and none is carried over from the other 26-inch bikes because they are different frames.
The Pro adds a second motor and a bigger pack: a combined 2000W and 1,104 watt-hours against the E26's 1000W and 749. Neither is in stock today; the Q50 carries 1,200 watt-hours at $799.
Ridstar describes its packs as waterproof on several listings and publishes no IP rating for the bike, display or controller on this one. That is the whole of what the manufacturer states.
The E26 Pro is out of stock today. The Q50 carries more battery, the same hydraulic brakes and a published load rating, at $799.

How we verified this page. Every specification above was read from an archived copy of Ridstar's own product page (ridstar.net/products/ridstar®-e-bike-e26pro-folding-fat-tire-mountain-electric-bike), retrieved 2026-08-26 with the U.S. market forced and the currency confirmed as USD, with the price cross-checked the same day against a second, independently fetched endpoint on that site. Figures are the manufacturer's ratings, not our test results; where Ridstar's material disagrees with itself, or leaves a specification out, the “How to read this spec sheet” section names it and says which value this page uses. The federal definition is quoted from the statute and was retrieved from two independent publishers. We publish no rating or review score for this bike because we hold no first-party reviews of it.
