The glider is considered a sidewalk bike. As such, it does not meet the full requirements of a bicycle (height, 
reflectors, and brakes) and therefore should never be ridden on a road, street, or anywhere where cars may be 
traveling.  It is designed for small kids to be ridden on sidewalks only and always under adult supervision. 

This bike was designed for kids.  It should not be ridden by an adult.  The maximum weight limit is 100 lbs (36 kg). 

A child 

MUST 

wear a helmet while operating this glider or any bicycle. 

EZee Gliders have limited braking power (rear brake only), and depend on good coordination of the rider.  Avoid 
riding on inclines like a sloped driveway and near drop offs like a curb or near a swimming pool. 

Before riding fast or in more difficult conditions, learn the function and performance of all the mechanisms of your 
glider by riding at slower speeds in a flat, empty area. Practice at slow speeds first by walking along while seated 
on the bike. 

Make sure your Glider fits your child properly. 

Make sure there is adequate clearance between your child and the bike frame. 

Operation 

The EZee Glider works by allowing children to learn at their own pace while feeling safe that they are not going to 
fall.  The bike was designed with a low-center of gravity and slack head angle for better control and balance. 

Some children learn very quickly while others may take longer. This depends on age, ability, and other factors.  The 
EZee Glider will help them achieve the goal of riding a bike as quickly as possible, while providing then with a fun 
toy that they will continue to enjoy long after they have learned to ride. 

Start using the Glider by sitting on the bike and pushing your feet. The action should be just like walking, one foot 
in front of the other and pushing off with each foot.  Once you become familiar with the way it works, you can 
start walking faster, giving yourself increasingly harder pushes with your feet, until you start to glide along. Once 
you start gliding, you can place your feet on the foot pegs. 

For examples of gliding techniques please visit our website: 

WWW.GLIDEBIKES.COM

, and click on Video Clips Link. 

Because the EZee Glider is so effective, it is better to let the child learn at their own pace. We recommend not 
holding or pushing the child on the bike before they learn to balance because it prevents the learning process from 
happening. 

Warning 

An EZee Glider rider may not be visible to others, which can cause a collision resulting in a severe injury. Failure to 
avoid all automobile paths will increase your chances of being involved in an accident. 

Know and obey all local bicycle riding laws. 

Frames or parts under high stress may fatigue prematurely, causing them to fail and increasing the risk to the rider. 
The following riding practices increase the risk of injury to you and the risk of damage to your glider: 

Hopping or jumping on your glider
