pedego lcd display free sample

Pedego electric bikes are equipped with an LCD console that monitors your pedal assist level, speed, odometer, trip distance, riding time, and battery energy level. If you have purchased your electric bicycle from a Pedego dealer or via the official Pedego website, your ebike will arrive with all the correct LCD console settings, such as km/hr settings and a maximum motor speed of 32 km/hr. In this article, we list the different numbers and symbols, what they mean, and how to change certain settings on your electric bike.

It’s easy to turn the LCD console on. First, make sure the battery is fully inserted and the on/off switch is in the on or [I] position. Then press the power button (top button) on the four button selector located near the left grip on the handlebars. To turn off the LCD screen completely, press and hold the power button for three seconds. The console will also automatically turn off after five minutes of bike inactivity.

Pedal Assist Number: The large number on the left of your screen. The higher the number, the more energy the motor is exerting to propel you forward while you pedal. On most Pedego bikes there are 6 levels of pedal assist. In Level 0 the motor will not be activated by either throttle or pedal assist for most Pedegos. Levels 1-5 give you increasing levels of power (and top motor-assisted speed) while pedalling. Note that in these levels, the throttle acts as an override and can be activated to increase the power temporarily up to the maximum km/hr speed as required. Level 6 is a throttle-only setting and pedalling does not activate the motor. Pedal assist power can be adjusted while riding: simply hit the plus [+] button to increase power or the minus [-] button to decrease the amount of power the electric motor is applying to the wheel when you are pedalling.

To turn on the screen’s backlight as well as the integrated front and rear lights on your Pedego, once the LCD screen is on, simply press the power button and the lights will come on. Press it once again to turn them off. (Pressing the power button for longer than three seconds will turn the entire LCD unit off.)

There are other functions your LCD console can perform. By pressing and holding the “SET” button for a couple of seconds, located just below the power button, you’ll enter the programming menus. Here are the explanations for each screen and how they function.

After you’ve powered on the LCD screen, hold the “SET” button for two seconds. The screen will become backlit and you can release the button. You’ll see the number 1 in the bottom left corner. You’ll also see the trip odometer figure and here is where you can reset it back to zero by simply pressing the minus [-] button. This is useful to determine how long a particular ride is or how much battery power is used over a particular distance. To reset the trip odometer to zero, hold “SET” again for two seconds to exit the setup interface.

This should have been set when you purchased the bike. After powering on the LCD screen, hold the “SET” button for two seconds. The screen will become backlit (release the button at this point) and you’ll see the number 1 in the bottom left corner. Press the set button twice, and you’ll see a number 3 in the bottom left corner. If your electric bike has 28-inch tires, the number on this screen will read 28. You can toggle between all the sizes by pressing the minus [-] button. Hold “SET” again for two seconds to exit the setup interface.

Again, if your electric bike was purchased in Canada, the LCD console will already be set to kilometres per hour. To change between MPH and KPH, power on the LCD screen and hold the “SET” button for two seconds. The screen will become backlit (release the button at this point) and you’ll see the number 1 in the bottom left corner. Press the set button three times and you’ll see a number 4 in the bottom left corner. To toggle between MPH and KPH, press the plus [+] or minus [-] button. You can also use this function to determine whether you’re eligible to receive Mile Marker pins. (Check about this with your local Pedego store!) Hold “SET” again for two seconds to exit the setup interface.

To engage the pedal assist limiter, or to turn it off, power on the LCD screen and hold the “SET” button for two seconds. The screen will become backlit (release the button at this point). Press the set button four times, and you’ll see a number 5 in the bottom left corner. When the pedal assist limiter is set to “OFF,” you’ll have a reduced top speed through all pedal assist modes. Toggle between “OFF” and “ON” by pressing the plus [+] or minus [-] buttons. Hold “SET” again for two seconds to exit the setup interface.

To engage the throttle limiter, or to turn it off, power on the LCD screen and hold the “SET” button for two seconds. The screen will become backlit (release the button at this point). Press the set button five times, and you’ll see a number 6 in the bottom left corner. When the throttle limiter is set to “OFF,” you’ll have a regulated throttle output to about walking speed. Toggle between “OFF” and “ON” by pressing the plus [+] or minus [-] buttons. Hold “SET” again for two seconds to exit the setup interface.

The LCD console also has a USB port embedded in the underside of the LCD console that allows you to charge your mobile devices. To activate the USB charger, press the plus [+] button and the SET button at the same time for 2 seconds. This will turn on the USB charging capability. Hold the same buttons again for 2 seconds to turn this feature off.

In a recent post on the Pedego Owners Group, electric bike owners in Canada and the U.S. discussed how Pedego’s pedal assist functionality as well as changing gears during a ride, affects the bike’s battery life.

For every ride you do on your electric bike, there are four factors related to riding efficiency that need to be considered. Firstly, let’s chat about the gears. They are controlled by the lever mechanism on your handlebars that shifts the derailleur, which in turn moves to the chain to a different sized ring. Most Pedego electric bikes have one lever that cycles through seven gear options on the rear wheel. The bigger the ring your chain is on (for a rear derailleur), the lower the gear you are in. We could get into some physics here, but the bottom line is a lower gear is easier to be in when riding up a hill and your legs rotate faster for a given bike speed. When you are in a high gear, your legs spin slower but you have less power (torque) for pushing up hills. High gears are needed for when you’re cruising at high speeds on the flat or downhill; otherwise you’d be pedalling like Roadrunner to keep up!

One of the best things about Pedego electric bikes is they have a pedal assist mode, which is controlled via the computer on your handlebars. You can select multiple power levels, from very low to maximum, and when you start rotating the pedals, the motor will smoothly give you the selected power. On the bottom left of the LCD display you’ll see a number indicating your pedal assist level. A low number reduces the amount of power (torque) delivered and also the top motor-assisted speed. If you are pedalling and reach a speed above the top motor speed, the power will fade out and you will be all on your own. Drop below that speed, and the motor engages again. Usually there are five or six levels of pedal assist, depending on your bike model. One thing to be aware of with electric motors is that they also have sweet spots; kind of like the cadence we mentioned about above. If a motor is rotating very slowly, it is inefficient. If you are riding up a hill under about 10 km/h, you will hear the motor working hard and this is using a lot of battery juice. We’ll talk about the effect of this in our summary below.

The final factor we need to touch on is speed, specifically, what speed do you want to travel at? In Canada, Pedego bikes fall under the federal category of “Power assisted bicycles” and are regulated to travel a maximum of 32 kilometres per hour under motor assistance. (You can certainly roll or pedal faster than that if you want to!) Just like a car, if you travel faster, you will use more energy. The only exception for electric bikes is if you travel too slowly up hills (below about 10km/h) using the motor, you’ll also use more energy.

When you turn on the Pedego display (which can be done by single pressing the power button), you come across your first screen. This is your main display. At the top of the screen, there is your speedometer. Immediately underneath is the battery charge. Underneath that, there is a trip meter, riding time, and odometer (they can be switched by single pressing the "set" button). To the left of the screen is the pedal assist level (which will always start at 0 and can be increased or decreased by pressing the plus and minus buttons).

Turn on your Pedego display by single pressing the power button. Press and hold the set button (underneath the power button) until it becomes backlit. There are different settings.

If your bike display is not on, single press the power button. Once you are on the main riding screen, single press the power button again. The screen will light up, and this will activate both your head and tailight.

Single press your power button to turn on the display. If there is a flashing error message next to the battery indicator, then you should call the Pedego Tech Support at 800-646-8604 or your local Pedego dealer. If you purchased your bike through Electric Bike Place or MACkite, please call 800-622-4655.

Turn on your display. To activate the USB port, press the "set" and plus button for 3 seconds until you see the USB icon. You can then remove the rubber cover and insert your USB cable into the bottom of your display.

Turn on your display. Press the "set" button until the screen is backlit. Press "set" until you reach level 6. When your indicator is set to "on", then your throttle will be unregulated. Press the plus or minus button to regulate your throttle output to walking speed. Hold the "set" button to save your changes.

Turn on the display. On your screen, you will notice a "BMS". Select Pedego models have battery communication. You can see your type of battery communication above the battery indicator.

Turn on the display. Press and hold the "set" button until it becomes backlit. Single press the "set" button two times. "Set 3" will be the wheel size. You can press the plus or minus button to increase or decrease your wheel size. To save, press and hold the "set" key.

Turn on the display. Press the "set" button until it becomes backlit. Next, single press the "set" button three times until you reach "Set 4". To change between MPH and KPH, single press the plus or minus key. Once you have chosen your preference, hold the "set" button to save your changes.

The City Commuter has long been a favorite ebike model for me, especially from the Pedego lineup. It’s comfortable but more active than some of the cruisers they sell with a shorter handlebar and lighter frame. In recent years they’ve improved the way the throttle works (letting you override pedal assist) and introduced a smaller size playfully referred to as the “Mini Commuter” for petite riders. This new version has a shorter frame that also sits lower to the ground thanks to 26″ wheels vs. the standard 700c ~28″ available on both the standard high-step and step-thru models. Pedego still offers the professional black and white color schemes but now has a metallic blue (that sort of changes color when the light hits it) as well as metallic taupe that looks handsome. On the positive side, the City Commuter is feature rich with integrated LED lights, full length fenders, a chain guard, puncture resistant tires and an integrated rack but there are some trade offs. The bike is rear heavy and the saddle isn’t as comfortable to pedal on as it is to just sit on. I love the seat post suspension, padded grips and adjustable angle stem and appreciate the warranty (which is comprehensive for the first year and then pro-rates the cost of a replacement battery for two additional years). The other neat thing about this ebike is the battery choice options which let you maximize range and power or save some money and reduce the overall weight of the bike.

Driving this bike is a 500 watt planetary geared hub motor that’s made by Dapu (the same company that Easy Motion uses for many of their electric bikes). It’s one of the zippier, more powerful geared motors I’ve tested and on the City Commuter it delivers a lot of strength for overcoming wind or climbing moderate hills. It does produce some whirring noise, especially under full power, but that hasn’t bothered me as much as some other models and almost feels satisfying because the bike rides more like a moped. This is an important point… even though the bike offers seven speeds to pedal with and is one of the most active rides (ergonomically speaking) in the Pedego lineup, it is still heavier and less comfortable to pedal with than some other electric bicycles I’ve tested. For this reason, the more powerful motor, cadence sensing pedal assist, twist-type throttle and louder operation feel right. This is a great bike for cruising around the neighborhood or commuting short distances without over exerting yourself. It’s one of the best options for throttle-only operation that I’ve tested.

Powering the motor, the backlit LCD display and the front and rear LED lights is a beautiful Lithium-ion battery pack that uses high quality Lithium-ion cells from Samsung. The pack is available in four configurations with either 36 or 48 volts of power and either 10 or 15 amp hours of capacity. Basically, the larger the pack, the more you pay and the more it will weigh! A question I hear a lot about these battery sizes is “should I buy the 36 volt 15 amp hour or the 48 volt 10 amp hour?” and the answer is that it depends on the weight you intend to move. If you weigh (or plan to have a maximum load) over 180 lbs, I believe it is more efficient to go with the 48 volt system so that the motor will get full power and operate at optimal efficiency. Still, if you’re getting one of the smaller sized bikes and don’t weigh a lot then the 36 volt packs should perform just fine. Whichever configuration you choose, the pack offers some great conveniences like being able to charge on or off the frame, having an integrated replaceable fuse and offering a toggle on/off switch to reduce phantom draw while storing. The on/off switch can actually be annoying at times given that you have to click it before the display will turn on and this may require dismounting the bike after you just hopped on… basically, it’s a second step that you should really take every time you get on or off of the bike. It will help deter tampering with the display while you’re not at your bike for example. I like that the pack features an LED charge level indicator (great for checking status when it’s not on the bike) and that it locks to the frame. You are not required to leave the key in while riding which is actually a big deal because panniers may otherwise collide with the key and bend it (I recommend taking them out in this case especially). The big drawback to this battery is now it’s mounted to the frame (high and towards the back). With weight ranging from eight to nine pounds, it can create a bit of a “crack the whip” feel with aggressive riding and makes transport and parking less stable. Thankfully, the oversized kickstand works great.

Operating the e-bike systems is pretty easy on the City Commuter. Once the battery is charged, mounted and locked to the rear rack you press the toggle on/off there and then again on the display panel. I like the LCD unit that Pedego is using now because it combines the LCD unit with four interface buttons that are large and reachable while riding. It swivels up and down but is not easily removable which means that it could take more weather wear over time. Using the “Set” button you can see your trip distance, time and odometer and access a bunch of different settings if you hold “Set” for a few seconds. I was able to change from Miles to Kilometers, edit the wheel size and adjust the top speed (which defaults at 20 mph). The other two buttons are “Up” and “Down” which let you navigate through five levels of pedal assist and a zero “throttle mode”. The lowest assist level felt smooth and quite which would be perfect for navigating crowds or conserving battery while the highest felt exciting and powerful. At any time you can twist the throttle and override assist and this is handy for boosting up a hill or getting started from rest. The bike uses a cadence sensor to activate pedal assist which means that once the bike is up to speed you really don’t have to push to get the motor to help out (which is the case with torque sensors). The drawback to cadence sensors is that starting from zero requires all rider power because the motor hasn’t “woken up” yet and this can be a pain if you’re in a higher gear. Again, this is where the twist throttle override comes in super handy. I found myself riding in level two or three assist and gear level six most frequently and I did use the throttle regularly :)

At the end of the day, the City Commuter still honors the relaxed cruiser style that Pedego is known for (large saddle, powerful motor, twist throttle) but offers a slightly more aggressive body position with narrower handle bars that are responsive and easier to fit through doors. When it first launched, this was one of the only models that offered integrated lights and fenders but Pedego has since added them to all of the others as well. I like the adjustable stem, sleek integrated bell, modern diamond frame (vs. the cantilever curved style on the cruisers) and all of the sizing and color options here. I have had great success actually commuting with one of the older City Commuter models and while it can sometimes feel stiff and bouncy at speed (especially if your tires are extra full) the seat post suspension shock, padded saddle and grips really help. The spring latch on the rack isn’t incredibly useful but there are lots of ways to mount your own bag or panniers. If you like the style then this ebike could be a great choice because of the solid warranty and excellent dealer network that is now global. Pedego electric bikes are also commonly used as rentals and tend to hold up well. If you get the chance to rent one for a fun tourist ride it could help you choose between this or one of the more relaxed cruiser designs.

Integrated LED lights and backlit display are powered by the main battery pack so you don’t need to worry about purchasing additional cells or having them run out independently

Cons:The battery pack must be activated independently from the LCD display, this might deter tampering but requires extra time and may be forgotten (leaving the battery pack on to drain slowly)

FORT MYERS, Fla. (BRAIN) — Hurricane Ian left at least one bike shop "utterly destroyed"— the Fort Myers Pedego store. It"s likely that many more stores and the homes of their owners and employees were damaged or destroyed. Retailers who have been able to re-open are trying to quickly rescue customers" bikes that were submerged. And they are contemplating how their market will be affected as the area rebuilds.

The Pedego store was steps from the Caloosahatchee River in Fort Myers, as seen in the TV news screenshot below that Pedego CEO Don DiConstanzo shared with BRAIN. The store took a direct hit, DiCostanzo said. "All those boats you see stacked up are directly behind their store," he said.

DiCostanzo said Pedego"s corporate offices and surrounding dealers are assisting the store owners. The owner of the Pedego in Santa Rosa, Florida, for example, packed his store van with supplies and headed to Fort Myers to assist.

A new Pedego Electric Bikes store opened in Santa Rosa in the heart of the beautiful Sonoma wine country. Forbes Magazine and Frommer’s travel guidebook have both named Sonoma County a top destination in the world. Pedego Santa Rosa owner Colin Thomas is delighted to offer rentals, tours, sales and service of the nation’s Number 1 electric bike brand. Free test rides are also available. The store will celebrate with a grand opening party.

An enthusiastic bike rider as a child and avid mountain biker as an adult, Thomas, age 43, discovered Pedego Electric Bikes while on vacation. Intrigued, he researched the opportunity to own a store and knew Pedego store ownership was right for him.

A native of Chico, who moved to Santa Rosa for college in the 1990s, Thomas worked in outside sales for a variety of companies, including Miracle-Gro and Watkins Wellness. A natural-born salesperson, he was selling things from the time he was a kid, including baseball cards. Selling Pedego bikes was a perfect next step.

“With Pedego, I was already sold on the brand as I love my Pedego Trail Tracker fat-tire bike,” Thomas says. The flexibility of Pedego’s licensed model and its exceptional dealer support cinched the deal. The fact that I bring a smile to my customers’ faces is priceless.”

A first-time business owner, Thomas worked closely with the Pedego Corp. team to identify a location, sign the lease, get his bike inventory, and set up his store. With new freedom that comes with a licensed store model, Thomas is redesigning his life as an entrepreneur. He said, “I am thrilled to be my own boss, taking control of my life and destiny.”

Located in downtown Santa Rosa behind the infamous Russian River brewery, Pedego Santa Rosa offers rentals, tours, sales, and service of Pedego electric bikes. The store is near many bike paths, including trails at Howarth Park, Spring Lake Regional Park and the Trione-Annadel State Park. The nearby Joe Rodota Trail takes riders on an eight-mile jaunt to the charming town of Sebastopol, and the West County Trail takes riders more than 15 miles to Forestville. Riders will enjoy seeing Santa Rosa’s beautiful parks, rolling hills and vineyards. After an exhilarating ride, the nearby Barlow is a popular destination for food and drinks.

“In Santa Rosa, Pedego riders can cruise for miles with ease along gorgeous vineyards, parks and charming towns as distances, winds and hilly terrain are no challenge for Pedego’s powerful motors,” says Don DiCostanzo, Pedego Electric Bikes CEO. “Colin is a perfect host, helping his customers and guests enjoy this awesome cycling experience.”

Pedego Santa Rosa is the region’s premier dealer in Pedego Electric Bikes. The store offers electric bicycle sales, rentals, tours, accessories and service. Located near the intersection of 5th Street and E Street at 751 5th Street in Santa Rosa, CA, Pedego Santa Rosa offers scenic rides along vineyards, parks and charming towns. The store is open Tuesdays through Saturdays by appointment only. Call 707-540-0253 or email info@pedegosantarosa.com to arrange a free test ride. Visit www.PedegoSantaRosa.com for more information.

That mischievous feeling constantly came back as I cruised around Portland on Pedego’s City Commuter Lite Edition. Not because I was out of line, and not even because the bike is that quick — it’s slow and heavy, even for an ebike. Yet my brain couldn’t gel the heft of the bike with the effortless cruise it can maintain. It made scooting around town simple and left more than a few fellow cyclists sweating through their bib shorts in a futile attempt to keep up.

Though it’s Pedego’s most basic City Commuter model, the Lite still has a 500-watt motor. There’s no pedal assist here. Just twist and go. On flat terrain, the bike glides to cruising speed in a few seconds. Keep the throttle open and you’ll eventually hit the top speed of 20 miles per hour.

You can wander up to 45 miles, according to Pedego’s marketing materials. I’d say that’s a charitable claim. I ran the battery down to a quarter with two 12-mile trips, which meant I had to charge once every three days. Most riders will see between 30 to 40 miles on a charge. That’s a tad less than you might expect from a Specialized Turbo Como 2.0 or Trek Verve+ under similar conditions, and the City Commuter Lite Edition is more difficult to ride when out of juice because of its heavy frame. Charging the Lite’s battery from near-empty to full took about four hours.

The most expensive ebikes can be complex, and some even have smartphone apps. The City Commuter Lite Edition strips most of that out in the name of affordable, reliable transportation. Pedal assist? Not here. LCD screen with speed and range? Nope. It has a throttle, disc brakes, a rudimentary charge gauge, a taillight, and that’s about it.

Stripping out features does rob the bike of excitement. Sitting atop a $5,000+ Specialized Vado or Riese and Müller Charger feels like an event before you start moving. Pedego’s City Commuter Lite Edition is just a bike. It looks like a cruiser but, unlike most cruisers, it’s not available in exciting colors (at least, not in Lite Edition trim).

You can find more features on less expensive ebikes. The GenZe 200, which we reviewed last year, offered pedal assist and a basic LCD screen. Other options include the Sondors Thin and Propella 3.0., both of which are less expensive but have a few additional features. Those bikes are also a bit lighter.

The City Commuter Lite Edition has a more powerful motor, however. While many competitors have 250- or 350-watt motors, Pedego includes a 500-watt unit. The difference is noticeable from a standstill, and the bike can (eventually) haul itself up steep hills that affordable electric bikes usually can’t tackle without help from your quads.

Pedego has one feature that’s rare among electric bikes: a nationwide retail network. Pedego, which has operated for a decade and calls itself the biggest electric bike brand in America, operates over 100 stores across the United States and promises a two-year warranty. You’ll find Pedego stores not only in the usual coastal bike havens but also in Boise, Indianapolis, and Santa Fe. Only the largest bike brands, like Specialized and Trek, have similar reach.

Pedego’s City Commuter Lite is more electric moped than electric bike, and that statement alone should help you decide if you’re interested. Looking for an ebike that’s great for exercise or covering long distances? Skip it. Want an ebike you can zip across town without arriving sweaty and exhausted? The Pedego City Commuter Lite is for you.

Pedego offers a two-year warranty and has a broad dealer network. The dealer network is great, but the warranty is so-so. Major bike brands offer tiered warranties that usually cover electric bike components for two years and cover the frame for life.

Pedego Electric Bikes is one of the largest electric bicycle brands in the United States, helping tens of thousands of people get off the couch, putting them on e-bikes, and out on the open road.

Pedego’s main motto is “hello, fun…” which pretty much sums up what you get with one of its bikes. They’re fun to ride, simple to use, well-made, and also look good.

If you’re thinking about getting one of Pedego’s attractive e-bikes, you should first read our detailed review. We’ll tell you all about the brand, the lineup, important features, and answer some common questions you’ve been sending our way.

Pedego Electric Bikes, like many other successful brands out there, began as a solution to a big problem. Once upon a time, the e-bike market was not as saturated as it is today with different manufacturers, types, models, and technologies.

The biggest problems were the quality of bikes, the boring, uniform design, and the inexistence of customer service. They still are for many people. In comes Don Dicostanzo, adamant to change that, and founds Pedego in 2008.

These are not necessarily the cheapest bikes on the market, even though Pedego does have a few excellent budget models for those with limited funds. Nonetheless, a great customer support system and reliable components come with a price.

So if you want to get the cheapest e-bike, there are definitely more affordable choices. If you want to get an e-bike from a reputable brand that’s known to treat customers as family, Pedego is the way to go.

Pedego’s e-bikes come in four different categories. They are characterized by upright geometries, low-step frames, comfy saddles, and wide tires. Sure, there are models with step-over frames and faster tires, and even tandems and trikes, but these are in minority.

$3,695 – This is one of the most beautiful e-bikes in Pedego’s lineup. It’s an official Ford Electric Bike with a breathtaking design and even better performance.

Conveyor– From $4,995 – If you hate maintenance, this is the Pedego e-bike for you. A hybrid model that features a belt drive instead of a chain, a mid-drive motor, and a smoothly integrated battery.

If you need more excitement in your life, you can look for it away from smooth, paved roads. Check out Pedego’s Off-Road category for e-bikes with fat tires and capable suspension that can go anywhere.

Element– From $1,495 – This is the cheapest e-bike Pedego makes. Element is a versatile fat bike with 20″ x 4″ wheels, a low-step frame, and a fun appearance and ride feel.

Elevate– From $5,495 – The only full-suspension e-bike Pedego makes and the most expensive model as well. It features a Shimano mid-drive motor and capable RockShox suspension.

Apart from the traditional types of e-bikes, Pedego also makes some more unique types that meet the needs of certain people. This category consists of a trike and a tandem bike that look good and ride even better.

Tandem– From $1995 – Rides are best when shared. That’s why Pedego has built one of the only Tandem e-bikes on the market. Get it if you want to ride with friends or family members and have incredible fun.

When it comes to the Classes and electric components, Pedego offers a wide variety of choices. Most of their bikes are Class 2 e-bikes, which means they offer both pedal-assistance and throttle. The maximum assisted speed is 20 mph. However, there are also Class 1 e-bikes that offer only pedal-assistance modes, such as the Elevate FS model.

Pedego e-bikes are usually equipped with 500W rear hub or mid-drive motors. These generally output 35-45Nm of torque, but there are a few exceptions that develop up to 90Nm of torque, such as the Conveyor model. The 500W is the nominal output, whereas the motor peak output goes up to 1,058W.

Pedego’s bikes also feature practicalbacklit LCD displays that let you control the bike. These can be monochrome or colored and come with a USB charging port to keep your devices topped up.

Pedego stands out from the crowd because its bikes feature a pretty unique frame design. Pedego combines aluminum frames and steel forks to achieve maximum cost and weight efficiency. This choice also ensures the best possible comfort and attractive looks.

The bikes are characterized by having oversized tubes that make Pedego e-bikes sturdy, durable, and give them a high payload capacity. They’re also usually available in several colors, which is a plus.

Almost all models in Pedego’s lineup are multi-gear models with high-quality Shimano components. Most models come with 7 gears, but some have up to 11 gears, such as the Elevate full-suspension e-bike.

The wide gear range makes Pedego bikes good for climbing and riding on different types of terrain. The Conveyor model is an exception, as it has an internal gear hub and a belt drive that require virtually no maintenance.

Pedego is the biggest e-bike retailer in the USA for a good reason. They have excellent user reviews on popular platforms such as Facebook, Reddit, YouTube, and on their website.

What people like the most about Pedego e-bikes is the ease of use, warranty, and good customer support. Pedego has a huge dealership network in the US. Thus, it’s incredibly easy to service your bike or get help with anything you need.

Pedego’s bikes are generally most popular with older folks. That’s because they don’t worry too much about getting the most modern design or the best performance around. They worry about practicality, reliability, and comfort.

So, to sum things up, Pedego does not make the cheapest or the best-looking e-bikes you can buy. However, Pedego has built its success on the premise that their bikes are incrediblyfun, practical, versatile, and easy to ride.

Pedego Electric Bikes are made in Taiwan, Vietnam, and China. This is a common practice that most bicycle manufacturers employ nowadays. It allows them to cut down on costs and provide their customers with a cheaper final product.

Pedego bikes are generally more expensive than what the e-bike market average price range dictates. The cheapest model costs $1,495, whereas the most expensive model is $5,495. The average price tag on a Pedego Bike is around $2,000-$2,500.

Pedego bikes are very dependable. The company fits its bikes with quality electrical components, powerful motors, and high-capacity batteries. Other components are usually sourced from Shimano, RockShox, and Tektro, which are renowned brands as well. The company also offers excellent customer support, with a no-questions-asked approach.

Pedego and Rad Power bikes are similar at first glance, though Rad Power e-bikes are cheaper on average. It equips its e-bikes with some better components, which is why some of its models are more expensive. Overall, Rad Power provides better value for money, but its customer support is not on par with Pedego’s. Therefore, you need to decide what’s most important to you when choosing which one to buy.

Pedego Electric Bikes is the most popular e-bike brand in the USA and the biggest e-bike retailer in the USA. It is not the best brand out there, but it stands out because it provides outstanding value for money. It builds high-quality e-bikes made to roll for thousands of miles. Therefore, you will not make a mistake if you get one.

We are located right on the adjacent canal bike path that leads you in so many directions and routes. You can head east today and then explore west tomorrow. So the sky’s the limit where you can go and what you can see on a Pedego Electric Bike.

Pedego Scottsdale not only sells & services Pedego Electric Bikes, but we RENT them and have guided and self-guided tours available as well. And owning a Pedego Electric is the perfect, practical and sustainable way to make your daily commute more healthy and enjoyable again.

This deep blue cruiser is actually a rental from Pedego Calgary, where my wife Melissa and I each rented a new model – Melissa on a ’21 Boomerang, and myself on the ’21 Interceptor.

It was a gorgeous 24°C (about 75°F for my American friends) in sunny Calgary, AB. It’s high-noon by the time Melissa and I set off from Pedego Calgary’s downtown Eau Claire market locale, and from that spot we set out to explore Calgary’s riverfront.

Much of the hardware between the standard and Platinum bikes is shared, including the 500W motor (that outputs 45 Nm of torque), Pedego PedalSense cadence sensor, and most of the hardware tied to the physical construction of the bike.

Visually, I think Pedego has some much better-looking bikes that fill a similar cruiser/commuter role (the Boomerang and City Commuter both accomplish similar things, but look much better doing so).

FREY eBikes, for example, is able to offer the 2021 FREY CC – their front-suspended commuter bike with included rear-rack – for $3,280 USD, which is just 10% more than what you’d pay for an equivalent bike from Pedego… but with premium suspension, more than twice the power, and a torque sensor to boot. In fact, the entire2021 FREY lineupis filled with high horsepower bikes with MSRPs below their direct peers.

Plus, when you look closely at the Interceptor, you can see the level of care and ability applied to its construction. Thanks to Pedego’s large and accessible North American dealer network, it’s actually quite easy to see the bike in person before committing to buy – something you can’t do when buying an ebike online sight-unseen.

The left handlebar houses the LCD display and TEKTRO brake with an integrated bell. The display is relatively large on paper, but in practice feels much smaller. I found it difficult to read while moving, both because of the minimal display brightness/contrast in direct light, and the fact that it’s on the left handlebar (forcing me to always look down and to the left). The screen is also prone to glare.

Speaking of brakes, the 2021 model-year Pedego’s have hydraulic brakes, and they’re beefy enough to stop you quickly. I managed to briefly lock them up when I aggressively mashed the brakes in an effort not to make contact with a Canadian Cobra Chicken that had crossed my path while I was doing nearly 30 kph, but otherwise they proved predictable and well-suited for their task.

But, it’s also using an old-school cadence sensor (even if Pedego’s is a more polished and fancy version) and it’s quite expensive compared to several of its peers. Owners of ‘19/’20 model year bikes looking to upgrade may want to hang on to their bikes for a while longer if they’re hoping for a torque sensor, and at this price, many other brands have bikes with torque sensors equipped.

With a variety of colors, batteries, and frame sizes to choose from, the Interceptor may be one of the most personalizable eBikes you can buy right now. And, Pedego is doing better than most in terms of bike availability.

The Interceptor is Pedego"s most popular eBike, and Pedego says it"s also the most popular in America. A comfortable riding position for most, as well as smart pedal-assist and capable power from the 500W motor, means that just about everyone will be able to hop on an Interceptor and enjoy the ride. It"s not a perfect bike, but that doesn"t keep thousands of people from enjoying this classic cruiser.

The LCD Display Upgrade provides additional information while riding, including Speedometer, Odometer, Trip Odometer, Average Speed, Max Speed, and Pedal Assist (PAS) levels 1-4. This replaces the stock LED display on the RadRunner, RadMission, and RadExpand.
