New Pedego Electric Bikes Forth Worth Store Draws Customer Stampede
Exciting electric cycling store comes to Cowtown, and the locals saddle-up for fun.
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., July 12, 2017 — The first official Pedego® Electric Bikes store in Texas is now open, making the bike paths happy trails all over Fort Worth as riders cruise along on amazing electric bicycles. Located in the revitalized area of Near Southside in the heart of Fort Worth, the Pedego Fort Worth store is situated in a 2,400-square-foot metal building that was built around a shipping container. It was designed by renowned architectural firm of 97W, also located in the Near Southside area. Pedego Fort Worth is the 102nd Pedego-branded store to open worldwide.
Owning the state’s first Pedego store followed a logical progression for store co-owners Vicki and Neal Peden. The two already own and operate Fort Worth-based Cowtown Cycle Party along with their daughter Keely Peden. “When we opened in 2012, we were the first party bike company in North Texas,” said Neal. Then they tried Pedego bikes. “We had a great experience riding the bikes on vacation,” said Vicki. “So we bought a Pedego rental fleet and started doing guided tours. The reaction to our Pedego bikes was so positive that people wanted to buy them. The next logical step was to open a Pedego store.”
