When the E-Bike Factory test team received the Ridstar YVY C20 Lite electric bike, expectations were high. The bike was immediately put to the test in a variety of riding conditions: city streets, gravel roads, uphills and longer rides. Already during the first kilometers, it became clear that this model is made for the rider who wants to combine efficient electric assistance, good range and a solid riding feel in the same package.
A powerful electric bike for everyday life and leisure
The Ridstar YVY C20 Lite offers a powerful 48V electric system that allows the bike to accelerate smoothly and ride effortlessly even in more challenging conditions. The 48V 15Ah lithium battery provides a good range for commuting, city riding and longer leisure routes.
The bike's 48V high speed brushless motor provides powerful and smooth assistance. Uphills, headwinds and heavier loads don't feel the same as on a regular bike, but the ride remains light and controlled.

Mechanical disc brakes at the front and rear provide safety and control at different speeds and in varying conditions. The bike is well suited for both city riding and lighter off-road and gravel road use.

Manufacturer's warranty – you deal directly with the factory that sold the bike
The seller of an electric bike is the factory that manufactures or supplies the bike. The factory is the independent and sole seller of the electric bike store and is responsible for the product's delivery, warranty, and any possible defects.
Sähköpyörätehdas Suomi Oy is not a seller or guarantor of the electric bike. Sähköpyörätehdas offers you a separate customer service and technical system through which you can contact the factory's salesperson.
How to handle warranty issues
After ordering, you will receive personal usernames that allow you to chat directly with the factory salesperson.
If your e-bike has a fault:
- Log in to the service with your own usernames.
- Start a conversation with the factory that sold you the bike.
- Describe the problem as precisely as possible.
- Please include photos, videos, order number, and other necessary information requested by the factory.
- The factory salesperson will assess the matter and provide instructions for inspection, spare parts, repair, or other warranty processing.
