Jim and Loretta Buck, owners of Pedego Livermore, show off their fleet of powerful Pedego electric bikes that are ready to provide hours of energized fun.

“On the grand opening mini rides, participants will enjoy a sampling of our guided bike tours by riding up to a wonderful valley view spot,” said Loretta. “They’ll hear some interesting facts about The Livermore Wine Country while having fun zooming up and down the hills.”

The couple has enjoyed riding bikes since the beginning of their life together. Jim purchased a bicycle for Loretta after only a few weeks of dating. “I wanted her to ride with me,” he explained with a laugh. Now, they’re looking forward to sharing the joys of electric bikes with the Livermore community and visitors.

“Livermore is a pleasant combination of scenic beauty, wineries and tech industry,” said Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder Don DiCostanzo. “Riders can commute to work on green alternative transportation, and they can enjoy a bucolic ride through a winery.”
