Pedego® Announces Industry Leading 3 Year Battery Warranty

Online, May 1, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Pedego® Electric Bikes today announced a 3 year limited warranty on all of the batteries featured on its line of electric bicycles. Pedego® provides state-of-the-art lithium ion rechargeable batteries and to demonstrate its confidence, it now offers a full three year limited warranty so customers will have full assurance in battery longevity.

Lithium-ion batteries are the most popular type of batteries found in todays's consumer electronics. They have one of the best energy densities, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. Beyond consumer electronics, lithium-ion batteries are also growing in popularity for military, electric vehicle, and aerospace applications. Continued research by our suppliers is yielding a stream of constant improvements, focusing on energy density, durability, cost, and intrinsic safety.

Pedego® is rapidly becoming the market leader by creating the coolest and most fashionable electric bicycles outfitted with the latest in state-of-the-art technology. Chic and stylish designs partnered with a built-in electric hub motor, Pedego® electric bicycles offer a cost-effective and green alternative for transportation, exercise and recreation. Pedego® electric bikes are perfect for anyone who enjoys the fun of cycling and experiencing the outdoors, no matter what age, size or physical endurance level. The company, based in Irvine, Calif., started as an electric bicycle dealership but found that no one produced quality, stylish electric bikes that customers wanted to buy.

Pedego® was formed to create a premium line of electric bikes that combine style, design and function plus offer the joys of cycling to people of all ages. Many people would like to ride a bike, but find it impractical or impossible because of hills, distance, health reasons, knee problems, aging or the inconvenience of having to shower and change at work. Pedego® electric bikes make biking accessible to almost the entire population.

Pedego® designs all of its electric bikes to offer a new and promising alternative form of urban transportation. They provide all the advantages of a regular bicycle: fun, exercise, free parking, zero emissions and freedom from gridlock while eliminating one of the bicycle's more serious drawbacks... lack of speed and power.

Pedego® launched the Comfort Cruiser in 2009 after seeing the popularity of electric bikes soar in Europe and the need for comfortable and fashionable electric bikes in the United States. Besides the retro styling, the Pedego® Comfort Cruisers come in 90 different color combinations with color coordinated wheels and tires. Their newest offerings include the original Electric Tandem Bike and The Interceptor, a high performance version of the ever-popular Comfort Cruiser, designed for law enforcement. It boasts a 48-volt propulsion system for heavier weight riders or those who simply want faster acceleration and better hill climbing capability.

Pedego® offers its products at quality retailers throughout the United States and in Canada. The company is expanding its market presence throughout North America via specialty retailers and quality independent bike shops.
