Bikes: Pedego City Commuter

I have come to the conclusion that a comprehensive comparison across the many ebikes available just does not exist. Daily commuters usually have experience with the one they purchased. Some shop owners have experience with one to three brands tops. Add to that many addtional factors like where on the planet various brands are available. What is your intended use for the bike? Is your world relatively flat or do you have big hills and long grades? Do you have temperate weather or rain, ice, snow, wind, etc.?

I am one of those "experience with the one I bought" people. I live in Seattle (wet weather). I have an 18 mile commute that includes hills and long grades. During the winter it is dark both ways. I am over 50 and 35 lbs overweight. Cost wasn't my driving decision maker. A bike well suited to me, my commute needs and my environment is what I was looking for. I did all of the research I could. When I found was I felt was the best available electric bike for my needs, The Pedego City Commuter, I still had a lot I needed to do to it to get it right for me. Everything from storage to lighting to a seat that worked for my behind.

I am very happy with my choice. I believe I selected the best ebike available for my needs. I continue to be impressed with the quality of the bike and the quality of the company. I have been keeping a site with photos and reviews including the various modifications that I made.

Pedego certainly has my recommendation
