We’ve heard so many stories about people who had to stop biking because the hills were too steep for them and then they discover electric bikes and their world is transformed! There have been paper-delivery people, for example, who were about to give up their job because the weight of 100 newspapers was too much for them. We found them the right ebike or trike and they were on their way again.

Then there are those couples who had to stop biking together because one person is recovering from or enduring, hip, knee, foot, heart or lung issues to name a few. One or two test rides on on an electric bike and, voila, they’re back out there. Of course, sometimes they get so keen to ride their partner has to get an ebike as well to keep up!

Some people purchase an electric bike to use as their primary vehicle to get groceries home or ride to work. And some use it recreationally because there’s no better way to explore the area and surrounding islands. In fact, we’ve had people purchase ebikes so they don’t have to pay the high cost of bringing a car on the ferries, there’s always lots of room for bikes and they’re first on, first off.

We also hear great things about our Financeit program, which allows people to pay for the purchase of their electric bike over the course of many months, giving them the freedom to get to school or work without worry about prohibitive overhead. And the program encourages people to shop locally and keep money in the economy here in our area north of Duncan on Vancouver Island.

Finally, we  love owning a Pedego store because, like riding the electric bicycles, it’s just so fun!
