Public Is Invited to Join in World’s Largest Electric Bike Parade in Support of HomeAid OC

FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., June 7, 2016 — Pedego® Electric Bikes, the world’s leading electric bike brand, has just rolled into expansive new corporate headquarters in Fountain Valley, Calif. The Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, June 18, will include the world’s largest electric bike parade, expected to set a record in the Guinness Book of World Records. The public is invited to participate in the 12-mile ride to Newport Beach. Pedego bicycle rentals are available at no charge to the public on a first come, first served reservation basis.

Pedego is also proud to support HomeAid Orange County, a non-profit organization with a mission of building new lives for homeless families and individuals through housing and community outreach through Development, Service and Advocacy. Pedego is donating proceeds from the bicycle ride as well as a Pedego Electric Bike for HomeAid OC’s annual gala.

“Pedego has enjoyed exponential growth from the start, going from a small location in Irvine to our new 38,000-square-foot facility in Fountain Valley plus more than 70 retail stores,” said co-founder and CEO Don DiCostanzo. “Our new home in the heart of Orange County will provide the space we need to supply our global retailers network with top-quality Pedego electric bikes.”
