A former government affairs executive, the new store owner Todd Ketch has made Pedego Alexandria his second career. Ketch discovered Pedego electric bikes on a visit to Pedego RVA in Richmond, Va., with his daughter. “We took off on a couple of Pedego bikes, and it was so much fun that we couldn’t stop smiling,” said Ketch. “It was a really joyful experience that motivated me to open Pedego Alexandria.”

As a lifelong cyclist, Ketch was especially impressed with his ability to ride great distances on the Pedego bikes despite having endured major back surgery in 2016. He said, “Pedego bikes deliver extra fun for all riders, and they also help people who need the extra assistance to ride.”
