For replacement parts, technical information and warranty assistance, please contact E-Glilde at 310-396-1453 or at info@e-glide.com SAFETY Helmet: Always wear an approved helmet while riding your SS Ebike and follow the helmet manufacturer’s instructions for fit, use and care of your helmet.
IMPORTANT!!! 1.Turn bike off before dismounting. There is a chance if the bike is left on, and you are walking it, that the pedals can move, engaging the powerful electric motor. This results in the bike “flipping”. Be sure to shut the bike off when walking it, before you walk it.

2.Turn power on. Depress On Button until it lights up. – (straight line) is on. 3.If the battery is fully charged, all four green lights will shine. 4.When power is demanded, the LED’s on the battery gauge indicate instantaneous line voltage as measured at the battery terminals-NOT the available energy in the battery pack.
PEDAL ASSIST / THROTTLE CONTROL Select pedal assist powersetting, low, medium, or high. As you pedal, the power will kick in, experiment with the different settings. The throttle control is operated on the right hand side. You control the throttle by twisting it from its resting position.
BIKE CARE Periodically clean your SS E-Bike with a damp cloth. Avoid spraying the bike with a water hose to avoid electrical issues. Store your bike in a dry shelter area away from direct sunlight and wet or damp environment. It is also recommended to apply chain lube (such as Tri-Flow or ProLink) to the drivetrain of your bike when you clean it or wipe it down to keep it in good running condition.

How do you control the motor? The SS is equipped with both a throttle and a pedal sensor. You can use either system to control the speed of the electric motor. If you want to cruise without pedaling the thumb throttle can be used. If you enjoy pedaling and want to feel more like you are riding a regular bike (with an awesome silent electric motor) you can use the pedal sensor.

Do I have to pedal? No. There is both a throttle and a pedal assist system. You can pedal and the elec- tric motor will kick in and provide you with assistance, and there is also a thumb throttle that will override the pedal assist and allow you to ride the SS more like a motorcycle, only silent! The level of pedal assistance will determine how much boost power the motor provides based on your peddling input.
