The Pedego Interceptor and Boomerang Plus are available with a Mag wheel option which brings capacity to 400 pounds. Also, the Stretch is capable of at least that. We've put 6' tall guys on stock Interceptors and Stretches, but I might recommend a longer seatpost. The Boomerang would likely...

As a Pedego dealer, my expertise lies with that brand, so I'll focus there. Like you, my wife is 5'1", and her three favorite Pedegos to ride are the Stretch, the City Commuter 26" Step Thru, and the Interceptor 24" Step Thru. Neither the Interceptor nor the City Commuter is specifically...

This is a rack/babyseat combo that should fit most bikes that have standard rack eyelets (and no rear battery rack). Topeak is a quality company. Most bike stores probably could order it for you if they don't stock it. https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/child-carrier

I have a Fat Tad in my garage that I'm planning on converting. I'm not completely decided, but I think I'm going to go with a rear, geared hub motor. It's more simple than mid-drive, and I don't really need the climbing advantage of running the drive system through the gears. I'm deciding...

I see you checked with body shops, but in our area, we have a shop that specializes in hitch receivers and trailers. They will install custom hitch receivers while reinforcing the vehicle's frame in order to put 2" receivers on cars that can normally mount only 1.25". I think they charged...

I'm one of many Pedego dealers, so I'm biased, but Pedego is arguably the biggest electric bike company in the US, and we're still growing, although I don't know whether our market share is growing. We don't target every market segment, but we have a wide selection of models and sizes to choose...

Haven't been around here in a while, and didn't see an answer to the leads question. You can check voltage at the charge port *or* where the battery plugs into the bike. If you have a 48v plastic case battery, you have a 3 pin connector at the charge port (36v use a different connector to avoid...

Love the stretch cruiser look! But there could be a couple problems. I assume NX3 means it has an internally geared hub, and that's why you chose a front hub motor. Seems like the right move, but there are a couple things you might want to consider. I don't know anything about that fork, but I...

I'm not very familiar with those bikes, but I've been Facebook friends with someone from Ariel for a while now. I don't really know him, but he seems like a stand-up guy. I hope I'm not going too far off-topic, but Pedego has a few bikes capable of handling 400 pounds or more. With the mag...

I believe that helmets are way more likely to help than hurt, and I believe everyone should wear one, but I don't believe people who refuse to wear them are crazy. We all need to choose our own level of acceptable risk. I pretty much always wear my helmet, but the one time I forgot mine, I rode...

I'm not 100% sure how you're thinking of wiring this up, but I recommend being very careful. I wouldn't just connect two completely different batteries in parallel (and obviously not in series). Be sure you know what's involved and double-check the battery specs. Maybe it'd be better to switch...

You can't see the patterns at low speeds or stopped, but the LEDs still light up, blink, and change colors. Definitely not as cool if you can't see the patterns though.

Perhaps "wire" was the wrong word. I was trying to convey the technical difficulty without getting into technical details. I figured there's a good chance the new battery's connectors wouldn't match and something would need to be swapped. That wouldn't be too hard, but the new battery would...

If you want "not too hard to pedal", I'd avoid direct drive motors. I suggest looking for geared hub motors or mid-drive. I'm most familiar with geared hubs and highly recommend them for your use, but if you find a mid-drive you like, that's fine, too. All Pedegos have throttles, and most have...

Depends on where you park, how long you're there, and your tolerance for risk. I recommend mid-level security ratings at the bare minimum. I prefer near the top, myself. We sell a lot of the ABUS Bordo Big. It's security level is good at 10 out of 15. The Bordo Granite is 15 of 15, but not as...

Coincidentally, a few days ago, my wife was leading a group ride, mostly with people who rented Pedegos from us, and one had a flat. Everyone got a class on dealing with a hubmotor. Most Pedegos have 15mm axle nuts on the front and 19mm on the rear, so we keep an adjustable wrench in our kit...

50 mile range, good hill climbing, and reliability are going to be tough for $1200, but not impossible. Verses a gas car or scooter, remember either of these is going to incur greater ongoing cost than an ebike, for things like gas and insurance. In California, a 250cc scooter is going to...

Hello Steve. I'm a Pedego dealer, so I'm biased, but here are my thoughts. First, one of the main reasons people choose Pedego is our reliability. Since the battery is arguably the most important part of an ebike, I highly recommend sticking with our batteries for the best experience. It's...

We rent a child trailer and child seats at our Pedego store. Most babies are put in the seats, mounted to the bars or the rear of our cargo bike. They're rated for 35 lbs or something like that. Bigger kids can be put in the trailer. Our trailer has a mount that slips onto the rear axle. The...

Awesome! I'm eager to see how this turns out! I always wanted to do a recumbent Atomic Zombie project. I have their book. I picked up a production tadpole that I've been meaning to convert to electric. I can get it wholesale, so I decided not to fabricate for now. Good luck with your build!
