Ride farther, go faster and explore breathtaking locales with a Pedego Electric Bike from Pedego La Jolla, located in the heart of the Bird Rock Community. Pedego is the oldest electric bike manufacturer in the United States, founded in 2008, with the largest dealer network in the e-bike industry. Thanks to Pedego’s powerful, whisper-quiet motors, and branded, industry-leading battery technology, enthusiasts can cover up to 100 miles in a single day, with the ability to conquer any hill.
At Pedego La Jolla, expect to be treated like family. Co-owners Tracy and Terry, along with the entire Pedego La Jolla team, delight in providing exceptional customer service and aiding customers in choosing one of the brand’s more than 20 exceptional models with multiple sizes therein, including cruisers, tandems, commuters, fat-tire bikes, mountain bikes, cargo bikes, trikes and a convenient electric folding bike to stow in your trunk or take on a bus, train, boat or airplane.
Pedego La Jolla is now showcasing the new 2024 models, i.e. Pedego Moto, Cargo and Fat Tire Trike, all of which feature Consumer Products Safety Commission (CPSC) safety certification standards, state-of-the-art performance and technological advancements.
Riders who prefer to get in a workout need not worry. Studies have shown that electric bike riders burn more calories on average due to their ability to ride longer, further and conquer hills they wouldn’t attempt on a non-electric bike. Choose from several Pedal Assist options ranging from 20 percent-100 percent assistance up to 20 mph (28 mph with a Class 3 upgrade) in conjunction with your pedal power to customize your ride to your needs. On a minimum setting, for example, a 749 watt motor may provide an average of 20 percent assistance to the rider’s energy output, with the next step up at 40 percent, and so on. Once pedal assist is engaged, a little extra power propels the bike forward, making it easy to go long distances and climb any hill. In addition, a cyclist can activate the throttle, which is a secondary way to access the motor, used best in conjunction with pedal assist. The throttle can also be used in throttle-only mode; if needed, a cyclist can always activate a throttle for 100 percent battery power. Nasty headwind? Tiring at day’s end? Use the throttle-only option mode to get back home!
Fun and practical for fitness and/or everyday use, Pedego e-bikes make the perfect travel companion. Tracy and Terry further explain that the bikes are very eco-friendly. Instead of taking the car, save fuel and hop on a Pedego to a friend’s place, the store, or zip to work! Prefer to try before you buy? Complimentary test rides are encouraged for both novices and avid cyclists. Pedego La Jolla also promotes full instruction self- guided rentals, featuring a rent-to-own program, which has proven to be popular for those interested in purchasing an electric bike in the future.
