Our verdict on each
G-Force
G-Force suits budget riders who want a throttle and a large battery without moving upmarket, with fat-tire, cargo, folding and step-through models listed at $599 to $1,899. The trade-off is partner-run servicing and a short frame warranty, so read the terms before buying.
Ridstarofficial
Ridstar suits riders who want fat-tire, folding, city and mountain e-bikes from a single US seller and can pay $549 up front. It holds the en 15194 certification and ships across US, AE and AT, but a 12 months warranty and finance being no narrow the saving.

Pros and cons
G-Force
Pros
- Throttle and removable battery as standard, with a 3,120 Wh pack on the ZM PRO and a claimed 338 km of range.
- Hydraulic disc brakes and a 181 kg payload rating make the RS useful for heavy loads and rough ground.
- A 14 days money-back window plus finance available, so a bike near $1,899 is easier to justify.
Cons
- Frame and battery cover runs 1 year and 1 year, thin for a bike listed at $1,899.
- Servicing is arranged through partner shops rather than company workshops, so check local coverage first.
- Belt drive is not offered, so the chain wants regular cleaning after wet or muddy rides.
Ridstarofficial
Pros
- One seller covers city, fat tire and folding, so a rider can move between fat-tire, folding, city and mountain without changing brand.
- The claimed range of 290 km on the reference fat-tire bike is backed by 2,000 W nominal power and hydraulic disc braking on that model.
- A spare parts shop is stocked and servicing runs through partner shops, with sales through both channels.
Cons
- Finance is no, so the $549 entry price is a single outlay rather than a monthly cost.
- Warranty is short: 12 months on the bike, with frame cover of 1 year and battery cover of 1 year.
- The money-back window is 15 days, so any test ride has a fixed deadline.
Who each suits
G-Force
Who it suits
- Riders on a budget who want a throttle and a big pack, with the RS and ZM PRO line starting at $599.
- Anyone moving loads or riding rough ground, given fat tire, cargo and folding in the catalogue and a 181 kg payload rating on the RS.
- Buyers in the United States, CA and GB who want the choice of ordering direct or through a dealer.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone after a mountain bike: Kalkhoff lists city, hybrid and step through, and the G-Force range of fat tire, cargo and folding leaves e-MTBs out.
- Riders who want a city and commuter line rather than fat-tire and cargo machines: Tern covers cargo, commuter and folding.
- Buyers wanting fat-tire alongside commuter and e-MTB options from one maker: HK BEIRUI TRADE CO. lists commuter, folding and fat tire.
Ridstarofficial
Who it suits
- Riders who want a fat-tire or folding e-bike at the $549 end and are willing to pay outright.
- Commuters in the US, AE and AT list who are comfortable arranging servicing through partner shops.
- Buyers after hydraulic braking and a long claimed range, hydraulic disc and 290 km on the reference fat-tire bike.
Who should look elsewhere
- Kalkhoff shoppers, since city, hybrid and step through is the list for anyone after a step-through or hybrid city bike rather than fat-tire and folding.
- Tern riders who want cargo carrying, because cargo, commuter and folding covers cargo and commuter while city, fat tire and folding has no cargo model.
- Anyone planning monthly payments, since finance is no and the $549 entry price lands in a single go.

Questions about each
G-Force
How much does a G-Force e-bike cost?+
Prices run $599 to $1,899 across the range, and G-FORCE RS, G-FORCE RS ST, G-FORCE ZM PRO, G-FORCE DE-S are the reference bikes. That entry point puts G-Force at 32 of 149 brands on lowest price, while the top of the range sits at 48 of 145. Entry is competitive; the ceiling sits higher.
Which models does G-Force sell?+
The catalogue covers fat tire, cargo and folding, with G-FORCE RS, G-FORCE RS ST, G-FORCE ZM PRO, G-FORCE DE-S as the reference models. Motor setup is consistent across the line: hub drive from a bafang motor rated at 750 W, with a throttle on board. The RS and RS ST take heavy loads, the ZM PRO carries the biggest battery, and the DE-S is the step-through.
Ridstarofficial
How much does a Ridstar e-bike cost?+
The catalogue starts at $549 and runs to $1,399, covering city, fat-tire, folding, mountain and road bikes. The spread is wide enough that the price of a specific model matters more than the headline range, and the whole figure is paid at checkout.
Does Ridstar offer finance or instalments?+
Finance is no. The $549 entry price and everything up to $1,399 is a single payment, so a shopper who wants to spread the cost over months has to save for it or look at a seller that offers instalments. Returning a bike later does not change the payment terms.
