This is a unisex bike, without a crossbar so great for those with problems in their joints. It is well reviewed, and two points are particularly important – its extended charge life battery, and its maximum carrying weight of 19 stones. I found a good description at a retailer, Graham Goode, where it sells for £1125. It is on special offer for £999 along with the Glide 2 Sport at Off the Rock Bikes (see local dealers).
Glide 2 electric bike comes with its own battery charger. LiFePo4 rechargeable electric bike batteries are technically more advanced than the tradational heavy sealed lead acid SLA and Li-ion batteries. A LiFePo4 battery lasts longer, accepts a charge easier, is lighter, more powerful, works down to -10 degrees C and has lowest lifetime battery costs.
Glide2 has a 36 Volt 10 amp LifePo4 extended life battery integrated into the carrier system mounted above the rear mudguard, away from dirt, salt and water, giving more protection from the weather than most electric bike designs.

So how long does it go on 1 charge?
Try http://www.pedelecs.co.uk – a brilliant forum. On any bike there are several variables which determine charge distance – such as the power of the battery, weight of rider, hills and wind.

How can I can a replacement battery? Mine has come to the end of its life.
I really want one of these bikes (Glide2)
Is it possible to have one in pure white including wheels and saddle
Is it possible to have a test drive and is there anywhere local to Warrington Cheshire where I could purchase one,?
My carefully looked after battery has failed after 3 1/2years, my wife’s same year is ok. For a valid butler I expected better. Don’t know where to get another.
My wife and I have had Glide 2 bikes for 4 years, in regular use. We are both over 65 and live in a hilly area of Yorkshire. Brilliant bikes.
I am wanting to fit rear lights powered from the battery but cannot identify the correct leads, can anyone help please. Contact me Johnstephenson31@icloud.com
