This 4 Wheel E-Bike DESTROYS Every Trike You’ve Seen! Meet the Simple Glide Quad EBike

For many riders, the joy of cycling eventually meets a crossroads. Perhaps a two-wheel bike no longer feels safe, or maybe even the three wheels of a traditional trike don't provide the level of confidence you need to enjoy the open road.

At sixthreezero, we’ve spent 20 years innovating in the e-bike industry to solve these exact problems. Today, we are introducing a game-changer: The Simple Glide Quad E-Bike. This isn’t just another electric bike; it is a four-wheeled powerhouse designed for maximum stability, comfort, and utility.

When moving from two wheels to 4 wheel e-bike, you need a motor that can handle the extra stability and weight. The Simple Glide Quad is built to perform without breaking a sweat.

• Motor: 750W rear-mounted motor.
• Battery: 48V, 15Ah lithium-ion battery.
• Top Speed: 16 mph.
• Range: Up to 50 miles (depending on rider weight, terrain, and assist level).
• Weight: 140 lbs (Reduced to 132 lbs if the battery is removed for transport).

The bike features five levels of pedal assist. Level one provides a gentle nudge, while level five gives you the full 750W of power to tackle inclines. Additionally, a twist throttle allows for effortless cruising without pedaling at all.

One of the most significant upgrades on the Simple Glide Quad is the seating. We’ve replaced the standard bicycle saddle with a high-end Captain’s Chair.

Fully Adjustable Ergonomics

To ensure every rider finds their "sweet spot," we have integrated multiple adjustment points that require no tools:

1. Height & Depth: The seat can be raised, lowered, and slid forward or backward.
2. Recline: The backrest can be tilted to find the perfect angle for your spine.
3. Armrests: Padded armrests provide a relaxed, recumbent-style riding position.
4. Handlebar Stem: The stem features three adjustment points, allowing you to bring the bars closer to your body or higher up to prevent slouching.

With nearly five inches of premium cushioning, you won’t feel the vibrations of the road, making long-distance rides more enjoyable than ever.

Safety is the foundation of the Simple Glide Quad. Because this bike is designed for those who prioritize balance, we’ve included features rarely seen in the e-bike world.

• Hydraulic Disc Brakes: You have four wheels, so we gave you four-wheel braking. These hydraulic brakes are smooth, quiet, and offer incredible stopping power.
• Parking Brakes: Both handbrake levers include a locking mechanism, ensuring the quad stays put when you’re mounting, dismounting, or parking on a slope.
• Seat Belt: While optional to use, we’ve included a seat belt to ensure you remain securely seated during your journey.
• Reverse Mode: Maneuvering a four-wheel vehicle can be tricky in tight spaces. By toggling the assist level down past zero, you engage Reverse Mode, allowing you to back out of driveways or narrow paths with ease.

Cargo and All-Weather Options

The quad is a utility beast. It features a front basket for easy-access items and a large rear basket tucked neatly behind the seat. For those in sunny or rainy climates, we offer an optional full canopy and windshield that attaches to the frame, shielding you from the elements.

To truly understand the Simple Glide Quad, you have to see it in action. During our test rides, we put it through a variety of real-world scenarios.

Hill Climbing

Despite its 140 lb frame, the 750W motor handles substantial grades. In a test with a 230 lb rider on a 7% to 9% grade hill, the quad maintained steady progress. While you may go slower on steep inclines compared to a lightweight two-wheeler, the stability allows you to stop and start mid-hill without any fear of tipping over.

Handling and Steering

The quad utilizes 16" x 3" front tires and 20" x 3" rear tires. The narrower front tires make steering light and responsive, while the 3-inch width provides a "fat tire" feel that absorbs bumps.

Pro Tip: While the stability is unmatched, remember to corner conservatively. A quad has a wider turning radius than a trike, so wide turns are your friend.

Off-Road Capability

We took the Simple Glide Quad onto hard-packed dirt trails, and the results were impressive. The four-point contact with the ground means you don't have to worry about sliding on loose gravel or hitting a rock and losing your balance. It turns the trail into a "little racetrack" where you can focus on the scenery rather than your equilibrium.

The transition to a quad e-bike is about independence.

For many, the fear of falling is the single greatest barrier to getting back outside. The Simple Glide Quad removes that barrier entirely. You can stop at a red light and keep your feet on the pedals. You can cruise through a park at 3 mph without the bike becoming "wobbly." You can even navigate sidewalks (the quad is the same width as a standard tricycle) to stay away from heavy traffic.

A common concern with four-wheeled vehicles is their agility. While the Simple Glide is incredibly stable, its turning radius is naturally larger than a two-wheel bike. To solve this, we’ve integrated an intuitive Reverse Mode.

• How to Engage: On your handlebar controls, toggle your pedal assist level down to zero. One more click below zero activates "R" (Reverse).
• How to Move: Gently twist the throttle. Note that on this model, the pedals will rotate backward as you reverse—this is a safety feature that keeps the drivetrain engaged and gives you full control.
• Why it Matters: This feature is a lifesaver when you’re pulling into a crowded garage, navigating a tight turn on a narrow trail, or backing out of a parking spot at the grocery store.

The heart of your Quad is the 48V 15Ah battery. To ensure you get the full 50-mile range and a long lifespan out of your investment, keep these best practices in mind:

• Charging Flex: You can charge the battery while it’s mounted to the frame or remove it (using the provided key) to charge it inside your home. A full charge from empty typically takes 6 to 8 hours.
• Removal for Transport: Removing the battery takes about 8 lbs off the bike’s total weight, making it significantly easier to load onto a heavy-duty hitch rack or into the back of a large SUV.

Conditioning: When you first get your Quad, we recommend charging it for a full 12 hours. This helps "condition" the lithium-ion cells for peak performance throughout their life.

For many of our riders, the Simple Glide Quad isn't just a bike; it's a replacement for a car on local trips. To make it a true year-round vehicle, we offer a modular canopy system.

The canopy is designed to be user-installable. It features a sturdy frame that mounts behind the rear basket and extends over the rider, including a clear windshield. This provides:

• Sun Protection: Essential for riders in desert climates or high-UV areas.
• Light Rain Coverage: Keeps you and your groceries dry during unexpected afternoon showers.
• Wind Reduction: The windshield helps cut the breeze, making winter rides much more comfortable.

When you purchase a Simple Glide Quad, you aren't just buying a piece of hardware; you're joining a community of like-minded riders.

We encourage all new owners to join our sixthreezero Pedalers Facebook group. It’s a place to share trail recommendations, show off your custom setups, and ask questions of veteran riders. You can also download our official app to track your mileage, see your top speeds, and even compete on our global leaderboard.

The Simple Glide Quad E-Bike represents the pinnacle of "stability-first" design. Whether you are a senior looking to maintain your independence, someone recovering from an injury, or simply a rider who wants the most relaxed experience possible, this bike delivers. It bridges the gap between a bicycle and a personal mobility vehicle, offering the exercise and fun of the former with the safety and comfort of the latter.
