The same factory now sells the direct successor under the YVY name — Ridstar rebranded to YVY, and the YVY C20 is the renamed Q20 on the same platform with an upgraded motor. If you came here for the Q20, the replacements below are what to buy instead. Ridstar Q20 — Discontinued in Canada We’re no longer bringing the Ridstar Q20 to Canada. The good news: the exact bike lives on under a new name. Ridstar rebranded to YVY, and the same factory now builds the Q20 platform as the YVY C20 — same 48V 20Ah battery, full suspension, 20″ × 4.0″ fat tires and Shimano 7-speed drivetrain, with a slightly stronger motor. Below are the closest replacements we stock, from the like-for-like C20 to longer-range and lower-priced alternatives. 🇨🇦 Ships from Canada · Free Canada-wide shipping · Not sure which one fits? Call 1-866-938-7580 — real humans answer What to ride instead · Compare replacements · Original Q20 specs · FAQ What to Ride Instead Direct replacement — same maker YVY C20 (Upgraded 1500W) The renamed Q20, built by the same factory (Ridstar → YVY). Identical 48V 20Ah removable battery, full dual suspension, 20″×4.0″ fat tires, 160mm hydraulic disc brakes and Shimano 7-speed — with a stronger 90 Nm motor (up from the Q20’s 85 Nm). If you wanted the Q20, this is the like-for-like buy. Step up — same YVY family YVY C22 The C20’s longer-range sibling. A bigger 48V 25Ah (1,200 Wh) pack for more distance, full suspension, hydraulic disc brakes, and a Bluetooth alarm meter that pairs with your phone plus a 4-button remote key. Pick this if range and security matter more than saving a little up front. Also worth a look Z8 Moped-Style eBike — lowest entry price A comfortable, stable moped-style fat-tire eBike: 750W motor (1500W peak, 80 Nm), 20″×4.0″ fat tires and Shimano 7-speed. Comes in three versions — Z8 (single battery), Z8S (bigger battery + hydraulic brakes) and Z8 Pro (dual battery) — so you match range and braking to your budget. GT33 Cafe Racer — most range & torque A cafe-racer-styled fat-tire cruiser with the biggest numbers here: 1350W peak, 258 Nm, and a 48V 27Ah (1,296 Wh) pack that’s dual-battery ready to roughly double your range. Full suspension, integrated turn signals and a keyed ignition. Choose this for long rides and retro-moto looks. Samebike M20 — retro styling, strong torque A retro fat-tire eBike with a punchy 1000W motor (1500W peak, 100 Nm), a 48V 18Ah 21700-cell removable battery (manufacturer-listed 40–140 km), lockable double-shoulder front fork with rear shock, 20″×4.0″ CST fat tires and 180mm hydraulic brakes front and rear.
