    Big and Tall rider and my new Evelo Delta

    Hi, Evelo community. I just purchased an Evelo Delta and am waiting for it to be assembled and delivered via VeloFix. I have received fantastic service from Alex Stegemann at Evelo. He and I discussed the needs I have as a 6’3” 345lb guy who is looking to utilize an ebike to cruise and...

    I just heard back from Dave at Priority bikes and it looks like their bikes won’t work for me after all. It‘s a bummer as it was a sweet bike and the customer service and responsiveness was stellar. I love that he didn’t try to sell me o. Something that wouldn’t work for me and he said that...

    My with bought me an ebike for my birthday, over a month ago. I did not anticipate such a challenge in picking one out. I was in Boulder this week and told my story to Ben at University Bikes (https://ubikes.com/). I can’t think of a time where I have had better customer service. I told...

    FOR SALE: 2018 PEDEGO INTERCEPTOR PLATINUM EDITION with 15Ah Battery

    After sleeping on it, I think that it would be tough to go used without face to face first but, as popular as the Pegedo is, I suspect you will sell it quick. Best of luck.

    Hi, @Ravi Kempaiah thanks for the suggestion. The wife’s reaction when I showed her the photo pretty much ruled that one out.

    I’ll shoot you a message @KurtW as I’m curious what else you looked at and why you choose the stunner LT over the Juggernaut.

    @Saratoga Dave nothing yet. I almost pulled the trigger on the Electra Ace of Spades but got cold feet. I was concerned about such a small drive and battery carrying my weight around. I had to rule out the Stunner X as they don’t offer a color I like (only comes in tan or Caribbean...

    Thanks @Gege Hughes I love the online options but am having a tough time finding a reputable bike shop near me that works on ebikes they don’t sell themselves. As a big guy, this is tough as a manufacturer will tell you you can ride it but then you hear the weight limit is lower than your...

    Thanks for the extra info, @ebikemom. I am thinking it won’t hurt to check them out before I pull the trigger.

    @ebikemom thanks for the quick response. While I have not tried a Pedigo, I looked at their cruisers online. They seem to have a large following but I don’t know that I want the throttle as I might be tempted to use it more than necessary. I liked the look of their Ford Cruiser but it...
