A FUN & HEALTHY WAY TO GET AROUND TOWN
ADAM LEVINE IS OWNER AND OPERATOR OF ONE OF THE FIRST COMPLETELY ELECTRIC BICYCLE DEALERSHIPS IN MONMOUTH COUNTY. OVER 6 YEARS AGO, HE VISITED A PEDEGO ELECTRIC BIKES DEALERSHIP IN COLORADO, FELL IN LOVE WITH THE CONCEPT AND THE BRAND, AND OPENED A STORE OF HIS OWN, ALONG THE JERSEY SHORE IN SPRING LAKE, THREE MONTHS LATER.
Since then, he has seen an electric bicycle wave sweep across the country, with ebikes becoming the fastest growing segment within the bike industry. The health benefits of bike riding are universally known, and electric bikes are simply making these benefits more accessible for everyone. From being an excellent form of exercise, to being an environmentally, traffic-friendly way of commuting, to having something fun to do with friends and family, there is no wonder ebikes have become so popular.
So, what is an electric bike? It’s simply a bicycle with a small motor and a battery (usually lithium ion) which assists the rider while they pedal. In many cases, these bikes also offer a throttle option which allows the rider to not have to pedal at all.
Every customer has a story, and with six years in business, Adam has heard just about every reason why someone would buy an electric bike. “The feel-good stories never get old. You are seeing people who haven’t been able to get on a bike in years due to some physical ailment, get on a Pedego and start riding like they’re a little kid again. People are also buying these bikes to simply level the playing field and keep up with other stronger riders, or maybe they live in a beach community and don’t want to deal with traffic or parking. The bottom line is that these bikes allow you to go beyond your normal limits and make riding more fun!”
Pedego Electric Bikes is currently open for sales, service, and rentals out of their Spring Lake location, and will be opening a second location in Marlboro, NJ this month. “We also do house calls, deliveries and pick-ups for those who are unable to transport their bikes on their own.” As a brand, Pedego has been around for over 15 years with almost 200 dealerships throughout the country and more abroad. Beyond the years of experience that this brand has, along with its industry leading five year warranty, it’s the local support system behind it that makes Pedego most unique. “While people are becoming more knowledgeable on the concept of ebikes, most are still unaware that the service and support required to keep them running smoothly may not be readily available. That is why it is so important that there is a dealership like Pedego, which services and stands behind the product.
We are here for our customers for the initial sale/test rides, tune-ups, service, questions, etc. You become part of the Pedego family when you buy a bike from us. Local support is a big deal.”
