    A Note for Parents and Guardians The E-Glide S/T is not designed for use by children. As a parent or guardian, you are responsible for the activities and safety of your child. It is your responsibility to BE SURE your child wears a helmet if you choose to let him ride the S/T, and that he be familiar with its operation.
  • Page 5: Battery Managment

    BATTERY MANAGMENT About the Battery Your S/T lithium battery is made from Panasonic 18650 lithium cells, the same type of cells found in Tesla EV’s. The battery is removable and can be charged on or off the bicycle. The battery is sealed and maintenance free, you must never open the battery as this will void the warranty.
  • Page 6: Installing The Battery

    3. Plug the DC 2.5mm Jack into the battery charging port, confirming a tight con- nection. The charger light will display red as it starts charging. Upon being fully charged (up to 8 hours initially), the charger will light green. Disconnect the char- ger from the battery.
  • Page 7 1.To mount the battery, you would first slide the base of the battery into the frame’s lower docking mount (closest to the crankset) 2. Then move the battery sideways into the lock position. The S/T’s battery mounts on the downtube of the bicycle from the left side.

    3.The battery will be a tight fit. ALWAYS confirm the battery is locked in place by pulling the top of the battery sideways. By pulling on the battery, this will assure the battery has locked into position. Removing the Battery Insert key into battery lock, turn key and pull lever at same time, and pull battery off of bike.
  • Page 9: Storing The Battery

    Storing the Battery The Li-ion battery the S/T utilizes is the latest technology in Li-ion battery cells. It is recommended that you do not store the battery in hot conditions. If the bicycle is being stored indoors in a cool environment, the battery should be stored on the bicycle in the “OFF”...
  • Page 10: Basic Instructions

    BASIC INSTRUCTIONS Bicycle fit It is very important your S/T is properly adjusted for comfort and to avoid the possibility of losing control while riding. The saddle and handlebar can be adjusted to allow for a safe and comfortable riding position. Seat Adjustment The ball of your foot, when resting on the pedal, should only allow for a slight bend at the knee when seated.
  • Page 11: Suspension Seatpost Adjustment

    Suspension Seatpost Adjustment Your S/T had an adjustable suspension seatpost. Remove the seatpost. There is a knob on the bottom of the seat post. Turn as marked for softer or firmer ride. Safety First It is important you follow your local bicycle laws but also it is important you ride safely.
  • Page 12: Before Your First Motorized Ride

    • Tires and Wheels: Make sure tires are correctly inflated • Brakes: Check the brakes for proper operation. Squeeze the brake levers. Are the brakes properly releasing? All control cables seated and securely engaged? Do the disc brake pads grasp the rotors within an inch of brake lever movement? Can you apply full braking force at the levers without having them touch the handlebar? If not, your brakes need adjustment.
  • Page 13: Riding An Electric Bike

    Riding an Electric Bike Riding an electric bike is like riding a non-electric bike but there are some differenc- es to note. An electric bike is slightly heavier and requires more time to stop due to higher traveling speeds. Your bike is also equipped with a powerful motor that provides a boost noticeable when starting from a stop.
  • Page 14: Best Practices For Extending Range And Battery Life

    Best Practices for Extending Range and Battery Life • When riding under power, you can enhance distance by holding the throttle at 10% below full throttle. • When riding under power, add as much non-powered coasting (similar to tradi- tional pedaling) by releasing the throttle and allowing the bike to freely coast under its own momentum.
  • Page 15: Safety Guidelines

    • Avoid riding in wet weather. When wet, handbrakes may require a long distance to stop. • Avoid riding in the dark. If you do, be sure the bike is equipped with a headlight, a taillight and reflectors. Apply retro-reflective trim to clothing, or wear reflective vests and jackets.
  • Page 16 • Avoid Biking at Night: It is far more dangerous to bicycle at night than during the day. The ST requires LED lights for night time riding. If you must ride at night, you should also do the following: wear retro-reflective clothing or material, not just white or florescent, especially on your ankles, wrists, back, and helmet.
  • Page 17 • “Drive” with Care: Share the Road - When you ride, consider yourself the driver of a vehicle and always keep safety in mind. Choose to ride in the bike lane, if available. If the roadway or bike lane is wide, ride to the right; if the lane is narrow, you may choose to ride in the middle of the lane.
  • Page 18: Wet Weather Riding

    Wet Weather Riding Whenever possible, you should avoid riding your bicycle in the rain. Riding a bicycle in the rain is like driving a car in the snow. You will not be able to stop as fast and must leave a larger distance between you and the obstacles around you. Your brakes will not work as efficiently when they are wet.
  • Page 19 • Familiarize yourself with the braking action of the bike. To test the brakes at slow speed, shift your weight toward the rear and gently apply the brakes, rear brake first. Sudden or excessive application of the front brake could pitch you over the handlebars.
  • Page 20 Normal Operation Screen Illustration • Hold on/off and LCD will go on. This will also turn on the electric bike system. The LCD will provide Normal Default screen and will display: Current Display - Shows discharge current, each mark is 2amps Riding Mode Selection - There are three modes for riding with arrow selection, Power, Normal, and Eco.
  • Page 21 • Shutting Down - On/Off button until LCD screen shuts down. Bike is now turned off. LCD Operation Manual: www.e-glide.com/lcdopperation Suspension Fork Your S/T is equipped with a Suntour XCR32 Air Suspension Fork. Features are Magnesium Lowers, Pre-load Adjustment, Rebound Adjustment, Speed Lock out Lever and 100mm travel.
  • Page 22 • Pre-load Adjustment - Controlled by turning the knob on the top of the right fork leg. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the spring pre-load, and counter clockwise to decrease the spring pre-load. • Adjusting Rebound Damping - Rebound damping allows you to adjust the speed with which the fork rebounds after being compressed.
  • Page 23: Parking, Storage, And Transport

    • Do not park, store, or transport your ST on a rack that is not designed for the size and weight of the bike. • Locking up your bike is recommended to ensure your bike is secure and the chance of theft is reduced.
  • Page 24: Maintenance And Bicycle Care

    MAINTENANCE & BICYCLE CARE To ensure safe riding conditions you must properly maintain your bike. You should follow these basic guidelines and see your certified local bike shop seasonally to ensure your bike is safe for use. • Properly maintain batteries by keeping them fully charged when not in use. •...
  • Page 25: Technical

    TECHNICAL Tire Pressure WARNING: Never inflate a tire beyond the maximum pressure marked on the sidewall. Exceeding maximum pressure may blow the tire off the rim, causing damage to the bike and injury to the rider and bystanders. WARNING: There is a safety risk in using gas station air hoses or other air com- pressors.
  • Page 26: Tire, Tube, Wheel, And Axel Repair

    Tire, Tube, Wheel and Axle Repair The S/T was designed for ease of servicing. Repairs are no more difficult than on a traditional bicycle. Any neighborhood bicycle shop should be able to repair a flat, change a tire or replace a wheel. Please review the following chapter on how to remove and replace the front and rear wheel of your S/T.
  • Page 27 4. To work on your bicycle, it may be easier to turn the bicycle upside down by placing blankets on the ground and resting the bicycle on the saddle and handlebar. 5. Locate the motor disconnect weather proof plug on the left side of the bike frame 6 inches from the motor axle and separate the connector.
  • Page 28 6. On each axle nut there is a rubber nut protector, remove these protectors simply by pulling on them. On the wired side of the axle, slide the rubber protector up the wire only a few inches. 7. Using a wrench, turn counter clockwise each axle nut until the axle washers are loose.
  • Page 29: Installing The Rear Motor Wheel

    Installing the Rear Motor Wheel 1. The rear motorized wheel easily installs onto the rear frame dropouts within a few minutes. Follow the instructions below on installing the rear motor wheel. One cable tie will be needed to install the motor. Read the instructions fully before attempting to install the wheel.
  • Page 30 4. Prior to inserting the wheel into the dropouts, pull the chain onto the cassette. 5. Slide the motor into the frame dropouts by aligning the axle into the dropouts. The axle has flat edges which require the axle to enter the dropouts from the bottom.
  • Page 31: Removing And Installing The Front Wheel

    6. Now check to make sure the chain is not in the way and align the wheel with the dropouts and pay attention to the lining up of the disk brake rotor into the brake caliper (between the pads). 7. Each axle side has washers and a nut. Slide the washers over the axles and tighten nuts by hand.

    2. Locate the quick release and pull the quick release lever open and away from the fork dropout. 3. Opening the quick release lever will loosen the grip on the fork and then loosen the acorn nut to clear the safety tab sat fork dropouts. When installing the wheel, it is the reverse process of ―removing the wheel’.
