Unbiased, In-Depth Analysis of the Best Electric Bikes
Pedego Electric Bikes is the largest electric bicycle brand in the United States. There is a chain of over 60 Pedego branded stores around the world. Pedego Co-founder and CEO, Don DiCostanzo, started as an electric bike retailer in 2007. He was frustrated by the boring style and poor quality of the products available then, as well as the lack of support provided by the manufacturers. Pedego Electric Bikes was created to offer more stylish, user-friendly electric bikes, and to stand behind them with world-class customer service. Today, Pedego focuses on putting people first. The most important part of every Pedego isn’t some high tech gadget or fancy bicycle component – it’s the person riding it. The Pedego motto is: “hello, fun…”.
Pedego is known for making durable, beautiful, cruiser style electric bikes. They started off with a Classic Cruiser design and eventually developed a smaller 24″ version for petite riders and then introduced a Tandem cruiser to accommodate multiple riders (which could double as a cargo bike if you removed the rear saddle and handle bar). […]
The Pedego Boomerang is cruiser style electric bike designed to be extra easy to mount and dismount. Pedego has long offered traditional step-thru designs (even one that’s specifically built for shorter riders) but this model, new for 2015, takes that concept even further by reducing the step height by about one foot. The top tube […]
Pedego began making its own electric bikes around 2009 and the Classic Comfort Cruiser was one of the first designs. Prior to this, the founders were using Electra bicycle frames and aftermarket kits to approximate what you see here. Its soft oversized tires, elongated handlebars and large padded seat deliver a comfortable upright ride that’s […]
Pedego is a pioneer in the electric bike space, especially in the United States where it has been building custom cruiser style ebikes since 2009. The Comfort Cruiser hasn’t changed much over the years; it’s simple, durable and powerful. It has become one of the most popular models for electric bike tours for all of […]
The Pedego Tandem Cruiser offers a sturdy, classic design that’s intuitive and fun to ride with a friend. The oversized seats, elongated handlebars and balloon tires add just enough comfort while supporting an upright riding position. It may lack some of the fancier features like an LED display and pedal assist mode but the simple […]
The Comfort Cruiser is one of Pedego’s original designs, dating back to 2009, and the Step-Thru variation is meant to be easier to mount and ride for smaller individuals. The bike is simple, sturdy and powerful but less sophisticated than some of the newer designs offered by Pedego and others. That’s part of its charm […]
The Interceptor is Pedego’s work horse. It’s large, powerful and sturdy and up until this second revision (known informally as the Interceptor II) it hasn’t really differed from the 48 volt version of the Classic Cruiser. Same frame, same drive system configuration… just a stronger power source. All of that changed in 2014 when the […]
This review is for the original 2013 Trail Tracker which has since been improved. Please visit the new review for updated specs unless you’re buying one used and want to learn about the old version. The Pedego Trail Tracker joins the likes of Surly’s Moonlander and Neck Romancer Pug which add oversized tires to create […]
Pedego spent over two years experimenting with this three wheel electric bike concept before finally releasing it in 2013. The Trike design maximizes stability by keeping the motor, battery pack, controller and rider low to the ground. This makes mounting and dismounting the bike a cinch. Much like its cousin, the Cruiser, it keeps riding […]
This review is for the original Pedego Interceptor I which ended production in 2013 and was replaced with the newer Pedego Interceptor II. If you happen to find this bike used at a garage sale or new at a discount from an ebike dealer please continue reading! It’s a wonderful bike that received a great […]
