Product Description
This bike is for the conservative rider who likes the safe bike color. Black is the safest color now that Beige and Taupe didn't make the cut. But we did have to add the red rims, or the green ones, just to show people you can have a bit of rebel in you, with or without, you know, the cause. The balloon tires with this bike are awesome, but we think every bike should go balloon or never go back.
Optional Tire/Seat Package Upgrades:
OK, so you can see in the Tire/Seat Package options that the balloon upgrades available for Pedego bikes make the bike look different - and cost more! But what's the big deal? The balloon upgrade is distinguished by hand-stitched, padded hand grips; a padded suspension seat; and Schwalbe "Fat Frank" tires. The tires have Schwalbe Kevlar Guard built in to help prevent flats. So the balloon upgrade gives you incredible looks and superior performance as well.
Pedego Classic Cruiser Specifications:
PEDEGO was conceived in 2007 to create a line of electric bikes that combine style and function to open up cycling to anyone who might otherwise not be getting the benefits from bike riding. PEDEGO bike is just like a regular bicycle with a quiet built-in electric hub motor to provide additional assistance. You can pedal normally and just use the motor to help out on hills and headwinds or use the motor all the time just to make riding easier. The experience is entirely different from riding a gas scooter or motorbike. The electric assistance is perfectly smooth and silent, which complements, rather than supplants, human power.

A Real Joy,
By
This review is from: Pedego Classic Cruiser Black with Red Rims (Misc.)
Pedego is sort of the Apple computer of electric bicycles. Everything is designed to work together beautifully. The components are all top notch, but the emphasis is on the user's experience -- having relaxing fun and reasonable exercise while getting somewhere.
I went shopping for an electric bike because I loved the freedom of bicycling but no longer had the strength or endurance to do the rides I wanted to do. A local bike shop salesperson told me they thought they would be selling Pedagos to retirees like me, but they are mostly selling to the commuters, especially the scientists who work at the lab up the hill and people who want to ride to work and not have to clean up. The second group is the spouses and friends of hard core bicyclists. With an electric bike they can go along for the adventure without being a dedicated athlete. The Pedego is a throttle type bike. That means I can peddle as much as I want and add in as much electric motor as I want. I have fun mixing it up. Sometimes I just fly, peddling with the motor up. Sometimes I turn off the motor and peddle. Sometimes I just sit back and let the bike do all the work. Most of the time I peddle with a little motor blended in. The only time I absolutely have to peddle is on a killer hill. It's easy to shift gears and use the throttle to get a good blend going, all using your right hand. The Pedego has one of the strongest motors on the market (500W) and a strong battery. A couple days ago I did a 15 mile ride and the battery never went below fully charged. The Pedego is a bike in the California Beach Cruiser style, which means it has wide high handlebars, a comfortable upright sitting position, and a heavier build for a smooth ride. It's for fun and transportation, from back before bicycling meant leaning forward over a minimal bike in bizarre racing clothes. The pedals are forward from the seat so you do not need to sit so high. You can easily put your feet on the ground. And you can lean back like an easy rider motorcyclist. The style says fun. I get lots of smiles, maybe because I am smiling, and a lot of questions and complements. I compared it to a lot of bikes and test rode what I could. The Pedego had more zip and glide and was light enough for me to put it on my car rack. The Pegego follows the rules so that it is classified as a bicycle instead of a motorized vehicle, which means you can use bike paths and not need insurance etc. Amazon is offering a good looking model at a great price. There are more colors, upgrades, videos, and pictures on the Pedego website.

too much for too little,
This review is from: Pedego Classic Cruiser Black with Red Rims (Misc.)
I can do the same thing converting my own bike
with a phantom hub motor; choose my own motor / battery / speed, for less money. Nothing wrong with this prebuilt, but, i need an e-bike for transportation, not just recreation. Got to have fenders 2115|R8RJU6CFPVXKA;2115|RELQRWZ92LYWG;
