    Some odds and ends

    I don't have much to say but the bike is running great. I had a flat though. Here in Las Vegas there is all kinds of branches, gravel, rocks on the the road not to mention glass and the Schwable Big Ben plus just handles it. I did run over a branch and a large thorn got stuck in the tire. I...

    E-Glide ST review

    I couldn't find that information anywhere. I know it is located on the top of the battery holder for easy access. You might want to call Dave at E-Glide.

    E-Glide ST review

    Roland, thanks for pointing that out. I completely missed it. Before I called Dave I saw the metal lock piece for the cable under the cap, pulled the cable through the hole at the end so I could reach the lock screw and ended up not being able to thread the cable through the hole again. In other...

    E-Glide ST review

    Hi, I'm coming up to 11 months with the ST now and the only problem I have is the remote lock up cable does not seem to be engaging. I tried the adjuster nut on the handlebar and it doesn't seem to help. I took the two allen screws off that holds it to the shock and it looks like it is set at...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I noticed some of the good starting price electric bikes like ours have upgraded their batteries. Rad power now comes with a 48 volt 14 Ah battery with their new models for $1499.00 so the price must be coming down. A year later now and the powerful 11.4 Ah battery in our bikes is looking...

    E-Glide handlebar grip upgrade

    I purchased some black leather handlebar grips from Rad Power Bikes. Comes in brown leather, black leather and black rubber. $25.00 even. No shipping or tax. Very nice. Fit exactly except for the plug on the left side. I had a spare that was narrower. Also did the rack update...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I found another E-bike manufacturer Volt Bike, that uses the same battery case as ours in their Yukon 750 series. 48V 11.6Ah. On sale right now for $499.00. VoltBike Replacement Parts So there are a number of ways to go when it's time to replace the battery. If you charge your battery 200 times...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I also read over the past few days that the cost of lithium-ion batteries are going down. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) reports that lithium-ion battery prices have fallen “by almost half just since 2014” Still, the price of the lithium-ion cells used in electric-car battery packs is...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I have also found Juiced Bikes use a similar down tube case like ours. Their Oceancurrent and Crosscurrent models have either a 48V 8.8Ah and a 48V 12.8Ah. The 48V 12.8Ah retails for 699.00! Good batteries are expensive! They have a nice battery chart on this page: (Link Removed - No Longer...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I thought I would start a new thread on the E-Glide Li-Ion battery. I mentioned " The Lake Mead area has taken me to the extreme limits of what my E-Glide can do. I have run out of juice twice before getting back to my car. Your pretty much dead in the water going uphill without the electric...

    E-Glide ST review

    Thanks Roland, I had the same idea for the Topeak bag since I used them on my last non E-bike and still have two Topeak bags. Now I have a winter project. Two things. I purchased my first set of Tektro HDC 300 brake pads since mine are pretty worn down from slowing down going downhill. Two...

    E-Glide ST review

    Roland I have had it down to one bar flashing! I'll keep an eye on it next time but I think the number was 43 BMR. It seems like it takes a long time to go from 5 bars to 4. After that it goes down faster. I've come to the conclusion that when I get the #6 error message, I'm trying to draw more...

    E-Glide ST review

    I have the Mondial tires. I have ridden on street with broken glass and loose gravel, and on hard packed loose grave and never had a puncture or flat. I should carry a tire repair kit going so many miles every day but never do. Just wanted to mention yesterday I completed the 34 mile Lake Mead...

    First issue with my E-Glide ST (Remote lock out)

    Hi Roland, I also had problems with the front fork lock out. It work at first but now doesn't seem to lock out. I also disassembled the top and it seems there is nothing you can adjust since it only has a pin or button on the top of the cylinder that is depressed by the switch on the handlebar...

    E-Glide ST review

    There is this steep incline in Vegas where these bikers with huge leg muscles are pumping to get up at maybe 7 mph. I like to pass them up sitting straight up on my bike, no handed, grooving to my I pod!

    E-Glide ST review

    I ride mine in the normal mode at level 3. I seem to cruise with me pedaling at about 15-16 mph I go the pace I like and have plenty of battery power. I never seem to notice much difference between 4 and 5 when I'm in 4 but maybe since I'm in normal mode. I have noticed it takes a long time for...

    E-Glide ST review

    My mileage may be different due to sometimes I go thru an elevation difference of 1000 feet. The longest ride I have taken is 28 miles. Also once the code 7 came up and I lost power going up a steep bank over the highway on a low battery. I thought something broke but I think the bike was...

    First issue with my E-Glide ST (Remote lock out)

    So there is an adjustment nut right at the handlebar suspension lock out switch. Some minor adjustment and it's working again. One thing I like about E-glide is all the manuals to the different components are right on their web site. They are very transparent and you pretty much have a good...

    First issue with my E-Glide ST (Remote lock out)

    This morning as I was preparing to get ready to ride I noticed that the front fork was in suspension mode. I thought I forgot to lock out the suspension with the handlebar switch but it was in the locked position. I thought here is the first warranty repair I'm going to need. 1/2 way through my...
