Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.    The largest private e-bike company in the U.S. continues to innovate.    In the midst of the pandemic last year, sales of e-bikes grew 145 percent, industry wide.   Pedego gives its customers local service…through more than 200 locally owned stores…along with a five year warranty.    CEO Don DiCostanzo e-bikes are getting people who haven’t been on a bike for years…back into cycling…

“It’s the person who stopped riding a bike.  Because they age, they get a little bit older and say I don’t have the energy level, I can’t go up that hill.   I’m afraid I’m not going to get home.  That segment has now come back into cycling and it’s been the best thing to ever happen to the cycling industry.”

The company has a broad range of models and offers rentals and tours as well.   Find more at www.pedegoelectricbikes.com.
