Quick Specs

The Imperial is a great commuter e-bike that is super comfortable to ride. Perfect for short and long in town commutes or errand runs, as well recreational riding. Whether you’re looking to get back into riding or extending your riding years the Imperial is there to make it fun, easy, and even affordable!

You’ll come to love cycling again with the assistance of the 500 watt Bafang hub motor and optional 48v 15.6Ah or 20Ah lithium ion battery. On the Imperial going up hills is a breeze and it’s possible to ride ride further then you may have previously thought possible. Easy to pedal with 8 gears, 5 levels of pedal assist with either the cadence sensor or intuitive torque sensor, and the use of the thumb throttle. Easy braking with the 180 mmUnion Star hydraulic disc brakes. The ride is also super smooth thanks to the Suntour NEX front suspension fork and super springy SR Gypsie saddle. Plus, worry less thanks to puncture protection provided by the Kenda K-Shield tires.

Love the purchase of my used Imperial e-bike! Much more affordable price and with amazing power! It makes riding a bike SO MUCH FUN - without too much sweat 🙂 I've started using my bike every day, which is so therapeutic and helps me get out in nature more! Since getting this e-bike I have really cut down on using my car, and feeling too tired to bike is no longer an excuse I use. It took me years to finally make the decision to buy an e-bike, and I am so glad I did.

Truly amazing ebike I had to buy a second for my wife and she loves it so much she would rather ride than drive!! When people come and ask how much did I pay and when I tell them they are baffled because of the sleek design and quality parts they figure I paid over 5000 for it! Also the staff are awesome. Again if your looking for a affordable ebike please go to RIDE THE GLIDE! My wife and I are happy to be part of the RTG family!!!

Absolutely amazing bike! Picked bike up from amazing people and when I got off work headed to Sydney ! Got home and it only used 2 bars of power and I used level 5 on pedal assist! Ride was smooth! If your looking for a e bike go to Ride The Glide! It was a perfect experience! Now I will be purchasing the Regal for my wife!!

May 18 Update: Bike is perfect and buying second one for my wife! I have put almost 800 km on my limited and no major issues. It’s a nice clean user friendly bike

ABSOLUTELY Love my Imperial Cruiser!!! OK, E-bike. In the first month I put on 200km and saved about $30 in gas. I've yet to do a trip so long that I run out of battery but my best so far was close to 50km over 2 days. Going green and getting some nice exercise without over-stressing my heart, due to recent heart attack. Had 1 small issue and RTG really stepped up to assist. They are a great bunch to deal with and highly recommend them to everyone.
