“We are excited to help commuters leave their cars parked at home and join in living a green lifestyle,” said Amy. “Pedego riders get fresh air, exercise and they save on transportation costs while they reduce their carbon footprint.  Pedego Norfolk’s highly experienced and engaging biking staff will ensure your Pedego, or any other bike, is well maintained and ready for many miles of fun.  They will help fit you with the perfect model and size Pedego for your riding needs.

The new Pedego Norfolk store is located close to Norfolk’s extraordinary Elizabeth River Trail. Tour and rental destinations include the Elizabeth River Ferry to Olde Towne Portsmouth, Old Dominion University, the Chrysler Museum of Art and the Virginia Zoo. Riders can also enjoy follow a self-guided loop along the Elizabeth River, a Norfolk Mermaid search and visits to breweries and the many historic sites along the waterfront. Zooming down Norfolk’s many new bike lanes is extra fun with Pedego’s Pedal Assist and twist-and-go throttle that helps the rider power through headwinds and across distances with ease. Pedal or not, Pedego riders can easily go longer, father and faster than they could on traditional pedal bikes.

“Norfolk is an amazing city with so much rich history, beautiful scenery, and exciting activities,” said Don DiCostanzo, Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder. “On Pedego electric bikes, riders are empowered to enjoy riding as they cruise down the ever-expanding network of bike lanes in Norfolk.”
