ongratulations on the purchase of your new Glide Cruiser! Before you 

start riding please take a moment to make sure that you understand the 
capabilities and limitations of your new ride.  

Before You Glide 

Check Equipment  

Take a quick look at your Glide to make sure that nothing looks out of place. 
Although there aren't many things to be concerned with, it is good to have 
"peace of mind" before you ride. First thing to verifiy are the tires and brakes. 
Make sure that the tires are adequately inflated (45 - 50 PSI) and that the brakes 
work properly. Check the front brake by lifting the front tire off the ground, 
spinning the tire and clamping the brake lever. For the rear brake (making sure 
kickstand is down) spin the tire manually or by using the throttle --  test the rear 
brake. Lastly, verify your battery charge and operation of the motor. Simply turn 
the key on and check the motor by pressing the thumb throttle (partially down) 
to verify movement of the motor. All units are shipped with a full charge and 
should be ready to ride. To be sure - feel free to conduct additional charging.

 

Plan Your Ride 

Distance, weather conditions and terrain are all important factors to consider 
when riding your Glide. Glide Electric Cruisers are not designed for off-road 
terrain unless the trail or road is relatively flat with no obsticals. The Glide frame 
has little ground clearance and is designed for low-center of gravity operation. 
Ideal riding terrain is paved bicycle lanes or bike trails. Some cities or counties 
have regulation preventing operation of electric bikes and scooters on bike 
trails. However, most do allow electric scooters - under which the Glide is 
classified. Further, the maximum speed for most US cities (regulation) is 20MPH. 
Just be aware of your own riding regulations and restrictions. If you would like to 
limit the maximum speed of your motorm consider our optional APM console.

Depending on which battery you have, your Glide will have variable capabilities 
for total distance. Other factors are constant speed, hills, rider weight and 
fluctuation of throttle acceleration. If your destination has A/C power and you 
are concerned about running low on your charge - we recommend that you 
bring your charger and restore the charge mid-way through your ride if possible. 
Otherwise plan your trip with reasonable distance expectations. We do have a 
general distance & speed chart for reference (located at our website /manuals). 

Lastly, the weather is an important factor when planning your ride. If it is raining 
or going to rain - we do not recommend that you ride your Glide. Water and 
electronics do not mix well and should you get water in the throttle, controller 
or battery components - it CAN cause malfunction! If you are caught in the rain 
or must ride in the rain - we suggest that you make sure at minimum that the 
throttle and controller are both covered with plastic or some other waterproof 
material. Avoid riding through puddles.

 

Basic Operation 

1.  Turn the key on and place your hands on the grips while resting your fingers 
on the brake levers. (Tip 1 : always ride with a helmet) 

2.  Place your dominant foot on the footboard slightly off to one side - making 
room for the other foot. (Tip 2: never with two people) 

3.  Press the thumb throttle down (only down) slowly as you push off with your 
ground foot. Then place your loose foot on the deck.  Find your comforatble 
position. It is important to press the throttle 

smoothly & slowly 

since it can make 

your start a little jerky otherwise. 

4.  Brakes should be applied "evenly" during your ride. This is very important 
since applying only the "front brake" can cause the rider to be lunged forward. 
The rear brake rotor is larger in diameter in order to yield more stopping power 
to the rear since most of the cruiser weight is to the rear. 

--- We wish you many hours of happy & safe riding!
