I'm thinking a stock Pedego Ridge Rider is probably perfect out of the shipping container for someone 5'9" or 5'10". In fact, Court in his video review says he is 5'9", and comments that the Ridge Rider, "Is just about perfect for me."
I satisfactorily rode a Ridge Rider on a 28 mile loop and decided to buy one, but I'm 6'1" and 190 lbs.. So I bought from the Pedego only dealer in Franklin (nashville), TN a few things to set it up just right. The owner, Bob Harris installed a 4" riser at the headset, as well as moving the also optioned BodyFloat's fore/aft adjustment fully back (I also have a BodyFload on my road ebike). Perfect. There's already plenty of range in the seat post to get that right. Also, I added a rack, very light hollow aluminum, but with a 50 lbs. capacity.
I was scheduled to do a 48 mile ride today but scurried back to Franklin when the rain started, so 31 miles. But that was enough to tell me the bike was nicely dialed in for me. For the steering to be as responsive as this bike is and still be rock solid down a big hill at 35 mph is amazing.
Well done Bob and Kem, Pedego Franklin (TN). Well done Pedego.
