Test Riding the RAREST E-Bike- Ristretto 512 First Impressions/Test Ride Electrify Expo Long Beach 

Yeah the p-51 looks great but is a little pricey. Never heard of the Christini fat 5 mid drive, looks sick!

When ya get time I urge you to look gears in the drive are like a transmission. No safety bullshit all high end components XX1, SRAM Code brakes, XX1 shifter like a regular bike to work on. Does a lot of military stuff. P-51 has a great look and simple and not afraid to lock up somewhere.

@@josecarrillo9933 ah I see. They overshot the range estimate in this footage too but I didn’t include it (they said it got 100 miles range 😂)

How is the seat & rear suspension? Is the production version comfortable?

@@StuartGrand yup they overshoot the range I dont get not even 40miles on full throttle And the rear suspension was still when shipped W a little adjustment its comfy now thumbs up for it

@@StuartGrandmy biggest issue is How come it barely do 40 And thats sometimes Isnt w the upgraded Gen4 CYC motor Suppost to boost it up ???

@@StuartGrand i mean the the Gen3 peaking at 4.5kW and how it was advertised would 40 w the upgraded @ 6kW by logic should be more powerful And in all honesty I dont see the upgraded motor making Any difference And if u go to the phone spec And connect the bike to it It reads the Gen4 motor peaking at 6,000 So am as lost as You are buddy

To be fair, there is ONE guy in the comments who said he got his bike hahah. If I had to wait that long I'd be so pissed

@@StuartGrand And he is probably affiliated with Ristretto...

@@butchie2752 I had the same thought but I believe they started delivering some bikes

It seems like they just started delivering their first couple bikes to customers recently. & yeah it did seem like they disappeared for a while since I haven't seen any other videos with a Ristretto bike other than from the company themselves. So I figured to post this video since there's hardly any information about it. I forgot about this footage its over a year old lol

I've considered getting a bike from Lyric, they look sick!

@@StuartGrandthanks folks. The designers at Ristretto have done a great job and the CYC motor is a beast of a powerplant. Our Graffiti X is a direct drive hub so it’s totally different. Pros and cons to both. Support to either of our companies is a vote towards high performance.

@@lyriccycles thanks for watching! Looking forward to the day I get to try out one of your bikes 🤙

This is a first time upload, but the footage is from last year since I never got around to editing this

@@jeremylove754 this footage was from a year ago so maybe they changed some specs. So do you own one? I would agree to wait until after the first batch or two. It seems like the company has a lot to prove

@jeremylove754 ITS BECAUSE THEY LIE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS ABOUT EVERYTHING! They also LIED about the WEIGHT of the bike, saying it 80 pounds when, in fact it's 120 pounds! The LIED about the RANG AND TOP SPEED. Plus, the Motor is LOUD AF and rhe Suspension SUCKS! It explains why they don't give the bikes out to ifluencers to be reviewed because they would I rip it apart and tell people how the suspension and brakes are cheap Chinese components. SEAT IS awful. The Motor is LOUD and annoying and can't even make it to 37mph! When it's advertised at 40mph! This company and the owner, Christopher, are POS weirdos that have ZERO Business Knowledge, don't give a crap about his customers,, his side kick Domnick makes the same Fake Promises and LIES over and over again. Ristretto is NOT a Kickstarter ebike (their 303FS was and they screwed people on that one as well with lies). However, with the 512 , this is their SECOND PRODUCTION BIKE, and they still took CUSTOMERS MONEY IN FULL and LIED about the delivery Dates for over a YEAR! They used CUSTOMERS money as an INTEREST FREE LOAN to BUILD the Bikes, and could care less if customers were UPSET, cause they are a SCAM, and as a CUSTOMER I eas LUCKY to get my Money Back after waiting for months, I called them out and told them I was going to BBB and reporting them as a FRAUD, so they didn't even apologize, or try to talk to me, just RETURNED MY money and found another SUCKER to buy a bike from them! I was a lucky one that received my REFUND IN FULL, others have never received the Refund and some were even charged a Re-Stocking fees after waiting over a YEAR! Do NOT Buy from this HORRIBLE, UNETHICAL COMPANY! JUST AWFUL!
