WHERE: Pedego RVA, 1301 E Cary St, Richmond, VA 23219
WHEN: Grand Opening on Wednesday, July 19, from 12:00–2:00 p.m.
WHO: Store Owner Buck Ward, Ryan Maccione and Cassidy Castleman from Pedego Corp., dignitaries from Richmond Chamber of Commerce and Richmond Region Tourism
Ward was already a successful tour operator in Richmond when he discovered Pedego Electric Bikes on a trip to California. “I fell in love with how fun Pedego bikes are to ride. I am amazed with how far I can ride with literally no range anxiety whatsoever,” he said. Pedego RVA is taking over a floor of his three-story tour company building that includes Segway of Richmond.
Ward’s tour business has been in operation since 2008, hosting Segway tours, trolley rides and electric car adventures. His business focuses on providing customers with unusual and fun ways to see, discover and experience Richmond’s 400 years of history. Now, visitors are finding that the tour destinations make a perfect fit for Pedego electric bikes, as these bikes, with their powerful 500-watt motors, can carry riders great distances — flattening hills and making headwinds a breeze.
Pedego RVA’s most popular tour is the Shirley Plantation History & Wine Tasting Tour, a 25-mile adventure on the scenic Virginia Capital Tour. Richmond’s bike shuttle is available to carry visitors and their bikes back to Pedego RVA. Self-guided Pedego tours are also available. The Virginia Capital Trail, a 53-mile round-trip route from historic Richmond to Jamestown/Williamsburg, takes riders past grand 17th-century plantations. This overnight ride makes a serene mini-vacation that allows riders to charge their bike batteries overnight and ride back to the store the next day.
Pedego RVA also offers all 12 Pedego models for sale, including Pedego’s popular California cruiser-style Interceptor, which zooms up hills with 48 volts of power. Pedego’s Platinum Interceptor is a favorite of Pedego fans due to its unique rider-friendly upgrades, including effortless hydraulic disc brakes. Pedego’s ingenious Latch electric folding bike offers the best in convenience and portability. And the Pedego City Commuter is destined to invigorate a lot of Richmond commuters who wish to escape their cars and have fun on the way to work. The store also offers bike accessories such as racks, lights, pannier bags, helmets and mirrors.
“Pedego electric bikes bring a different and exciting experience to Richmond, blending history and fun into a unique adventure,” said Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder Don DiCostanzo. “Buck’s passion for these bikes will delight tourists and locals alike as they try electric bikes and have the time of their lives.”
