Greer's OC

Now that we’ve experienced the fun and excitement of an Irvine based Pedego Electric Bike for ourselves, we get it. This bike elevates the cycling experience with speed, ease and freedom. A Pedego is really perfect for all ages-- from 16 to octogenarians—and can fit any lifestyle, for those who need transportation, exercise or just want to ride for fun.

The zero- emissions bikes can charge quickly and run up to 30 miles per a charge. The top speed is 20 mph with no pedaling and you always have total control of speed. We love the models offered including the Comfort Cruiser, City Commuter and Trail Tracker, always with options to pedal or not, and you can custom the colors of any bike.

You can find Pedegos at dealers and dedicated stores that are also a great way to meet like-minded people--stores even offer group cruises, meet-ups and tours.

Just in time for the holidays, is the new ruby red Interceptor. Available in classic or step-thru frame (pictured above).

Pedego is offering a 12 Days of Christmas Giveaway on Facebook starting Friday, Dec, 12 to Wednesday, Dec. 24.

Pedego will be giving away a 36V 10Ah red Step-Thru Comfort Cruiser each day... for 12 days! Sign up now by clicking on "Giveaway" tab or click here to register.
