Ridstar MN-26 Performance E-Bike
The Ridstar MN-26 stands out in the performance e-bike category by pairing a robust 1500W hub-drive-rear motor with a high-capacity 960Wh lithium battery, all for an accessible price of $1,299. With a factory-tested range of up to 90 kilometers on a single charge, it meets the needs of long-distance commuters and trail riders who demand both power and endurance. At 37 kilograms, its weight contributes to a stable ride feel without sacrificing too much agility on twisting paths and urban streets. Engineered to deliver consistent torque and smooth pedal-assist response, the MN-26 excels on steep climbs and fast flats alike. Built around a reinforced frame design, this e-bike blends durability with performance-focused features that enable confident, all-day rides, while its onboard display and multiple assist modes keep power delivery adaptable to any terrain.
High-Powered 1500W Hub-Drive Motor
The MN-26’s rear-mounted, hub-drive 1500W motor delivers instant acceleration and sustained power output ideal for tackling steep hills or powering through wind. Although torque specs aren’t published, riders will notice a responsive boost under pedal input across all five assist levels, ensuring smooth starts and consistent support at higher speeds. The sealed design offers reliable performance in varied conditions and minimal maintenance compared to mid-drive alternatives. By centralizing thrust at the rear wheel, this system also provides enhanced traction during climbs, making the MN-26 a solid choice for performance-focused cyclists seeking a no-compromise powertrain on challenging terrain.
Enduring 960Wh Battery and 90 km Range
Equipped with a 960Wh lithium battery, the MN-26 strikes an impressive balance between capacity and compact integration. Riders can expect up to 90 kilometers of range in mixed use—enough for day-long excursions or multi-leg commutes without mid-ride recharge anxiety. The battery seamlessly fits into the downtube, maintaining a clean aesthetic while optimizing weight distribution. Charging time typically falls between four and six hours on a standard 2A charger, making overnight charging simple. This large-capacity pack not only supports higher power draw from the 1500W motor during demanding rides, but also extends service intervals and adds versatility for varied riding styles.

Using lower assist levels and moderate speeds helps maximize mileage, while frequent use of high-power modes and steep climbs will decrease total range per charge.
The MN-26 features a 1500W motor capable of supporting pedal-assisted speeds aligned with most e-bike regulations. In unrestricted settings, riders often reach around 30 km/h, while compliance configurations typically cap assistance near 25 km/h.
