Interceptor: Platinum Edition

I always purchased Treks previously, but decided to try Pedego Santee and was sold immediately on the interceptor Platinum by the owner Greg. We have received the best customer service there, and are comfortable knowing if our bikes ever need service we will be taken care of!

My wife and I test drove ebikes today at Pedego Houston Heights. We loved them and ended up purchasing both bikes from Nick Jones who was very helpful and knowledgeable and made our experience quite enjoyable.

We tried the bikes out in Carmel Indiana and fell in love with them. Josh and his team made the purchase process easy and convenient and we are very happy with the bikes.

I purchased two Pedego bikes 4 months ago. My girlfriend and I love our bikes and go for a ride almost every day. The step through bikes are easy to get off and on. The pedal assist choices and the ability to €œthrottle up" are awesome. Even when we are tired, the Pedego's allow us to hit the road and just use a little extra assist. No excuses!

Great bike well made with quality parts and workmanship We purchasers are bikes at the Myrtle beach Pedgo dealer my Wife has Black edition City comuter I have a Platiom Interceptor our first bikes were City Comuters Pedegos but we're purchased from a bike dealer in CT that sold many different kinds still great bikes but coustmer service was nothing like the service we receive from Pedgo dealers Before we experienced that service we may have purchased something other then a Pedgo we truly are Pedgo people now

I have had two Pedego Bikes and loved them both. I especially like my Interceptor. My wife and I ride every chance we get. I have gone 30 plus miles several times and enjoyed every foot of it.
I got my first Pedego 4 years ago and lost 45 pounds in the first summer. I have managed to keep it off by riding. I love it.

What convinced me to choose this bike was the hydraulic disk brakes. They are superb at stopping this powerful and heavy bike. I’ve driven 400 miles in the two months I’ve owned it and the rave reviews of these hydraulic brake systems I had previously read about were very accurate.

I did have a rear tire puncture recently though. Luckily I have an expert on ebikes to take it to for warranty work and advice. He’s Greg Krzeminski at PEDEGO JUNCTION in the Detroit area. He’s helping me to understand what proper maintenance I should do on a regular basis. So that is my other reason for choosing an Interceptor, the warranty and bike expertise I get through Pedego Junction.

We bought two bikes in the heights last Friday. Sales and support staff were low-key and professional. I bought this 29-inch gem and my wife a 26-inch step-thru.  This bike has expanded my world immensely. I have a horrible spine following two surgeries and two total knees.   I can ride this bike without pain, and having the mobility to explore again and accompany my wife on trails is a game-changer. Rode 5 miles today and loved every minute. Yes it's expensive but the quality is there as is the experience. The staff at the Houston Heights branch were world-class.  Best purchase since I bought my wife's engagement ring.  Thank you.

Due to an ankle injury I am no longer able to run, but biking is a low impact exercise that I really enjoy.

While I have other bikes, I wanted something more comfortable and able to haul some groceries if I wanted.

The Pedego Platinum Intercepter which I purchased last October is AMAZING. It is super comfortable with an upright seat in this cruiser style bike. Buttery smooth brakes and shifting, and when I need it - five levels of electric assist. This allows me to comfortably go the five miles to the beach as well as the 3 miles to the grocery with ease. I can also take longer day trips of 20 or more miles.

The sales and support staff at Pedego has been excellent.

I have been really happy with my purchase and look forward to years of comfortable biking.

I highly recommend anyone looking at electric assist bikes consider, and test ride, a Pedego.

I use my Pedego to keep up with my husband on his road bike and can take on large hills with ease. I love my Pedego!

I’m so excited to start my cycling journey with my new Pedigo! It’s so comfortable and easy to ride. Being a complete novice, my bike allows me to feel steady and at ease. Thank you John and Linda at Pedigo 101... buying this bike was an easy and fun experience!

My social identity and personality is molded by my community relationships and my Pedego electronic bike takes me there.
Thank-you!

Love at first ride. This bike is pure exhilaration. A whole new world has opened for me with this bike. New friends, new places to go, new things to see and exercise. Imagine having fun exercising. Well this is it! Make time to go for a test drive it will change your life. It may even save your life.

I bought a Platinum Interceptor and it is simply awesome! As an avid bike rider in the past, I got board and frustrated by long rides home which always seemed to be into the wind. I use my Pedego for exercise and after riding nearly 1,000 miles I can tell you this is a quality machine. Since buying the bike, I've gotten healthy, loosing 68 lbs. and have never felt better. Your turn to do the same.

I love my platinum, it is helping me in multiple ways with my mental happiness and knee and back rehab it is almost a daily exercise program . Pedego bike is so much fun ! Great warranty and excellent care at my Pedego dealer

After months of investigation, I decided that the Pedego Platinum Interceptor would be my Happy 70th Birthday present to me. Many hundred miles later I can affirm that purchasing this bike was one of the best decisions I've ever made. My Pedego is an investment in my mental health and physical wellbeing. We all know that we should exercise, but I don't like treadmills and I don't like stationery exercise bicycles. And if you live in California, who wants to stay inside? So several days a week I'll mount up and just take off. Many times I haven't even decided on a destination or route until I'm well underway. I start out with the assist on #1, which means that I'm utilizing significant leg power. When I find myself going uphill, or perhaps going into the wind, I can either shift to a lower gear or kick the assist up notch to let me keep my desired pace. I'll normally start with the assist on #1, and as I tire I'll bump it up to #2, and then to #3 and sometimes #4 if I'm particularly tired or if it's been a longer ride than usual. Even if my return finds me going constantly uphill or facing a stiff breeze, it does not matter! I've got Pedego power. When the battery gauge hits 3 bars, I know it's time to think about returning home. I've taken trips in excess of 40 miles and have never gotten close to losing power (battery power that is, personally I'm pooped!)

There are hundreds of miles of paved trails in coastal Orange County to explore. These paths are shared with other bike riders, pedestrians, joggers, dogs on leashes, parents pushing kids in strollers and even horses. I find Pedego riders to be among the most courteous of all those sharing these wonderful trails, and let me tell you why. First, our brakes are fabulous €“ most like mine boast hydraulic discs on both ends that have miraculous stopping power. Even if I'm speeding downhill on a pedestrian trail, if I'm approaching others sharing the path, particularly parents with kids or with dogs on leashes, I can scrub off speed by squeezing my superb brakes so that I just crawl until I'm safely past them. Regular bikers hate to lose their speed at the bottom of a hill, but with Pedego I don't fear losing my momentum at the bottom because I know that my Pedego power is a simple twist-of-the-wrist away. I hit the power once I've safely cleared the walkers, then add a downshift or two and I'm right back on my pace €“ even as I head uphill. The smiles and occasional €œhello's"" exchanged with others enjoying the outdoors who I carefully pass are evidence that this consideration is appreciated.

Even with the many available trails, it's still usually necessary to ride on a public street from time to time. I feel safe on my Pedego for a few reasons. Obviously, I purchased a high quality helmet and never go riding without it. When stopped in the bike lane for a red light, it is hugely confidence-inspiring to know that you can blast off when the light turns green. There's no wobble. No hesitation. A twist of the throttle and you are up and out of the way of traffic. The boost is there when you need it, and merely assisting you when you don't. It is also safety-smart to be as visible as possible. My Pedego is wired so that the headlight and taillight can be continuously turned on when riding. The battery drain is minimal.
There is an old motorcycle joke that goes €œHow do you tell a happy motorcyclist? By the bugs in his teeth." Many of my Pedego miles have been accompanied with plenty of toothy smiles but fortunately - no bugs.

I am an old guy who never rides bicycles and stays home most of the time. In 2018, I purchased an Interceptor. The bike is fantastic and allows me to get out of the house to many fun parks in the City. I also ride to the beach and can go along the path for many scenic ocean view miles. I am now healthier and happier thanks to Pedego !

When I purchased my Pedego I thought I would enjoy having this bike but I never knew how much it would change my life! I ride my bike all the time whether it is just cruising through town or going on an adventure into a new area or running a quick errand to the store! This was the best decision I have made in a long time!

I am a 73 year old male with prosthetic knees, sever arthritis, and some minor health issues. I own a small horse farm and get enough strength exercise in that functin. But, I needed low impact cardio workout. I live in a rural area near an inland lake State Park. It is rather hilly especially going down to the Marinas, and campgrounds.

Enter Pedigo Interceptor Platinum. I ride through the beautiful contryside breathing fresh mostly clean air! I have the safety net of electric Pedal Assist on the steep hills going up from the waters edge. I have the safety net of knowing that if I go to far and get into trouble I can always get back home. If I have a medical issue miles from home I can go all electric and make it back!(I KNOW to call 911 if the issue seemed serious). But the comfort of nowing I don't have to "struggle" back home is freeing.

This E-Bike has perfomred exceptionally well in a smooth unintrusive way. I've set the Pedal Assist to a low setting knowing that I can use the power throttle if I need more help or, of course, increase the Assist setting. The Torgue sensor very smoothly adds assistance as needed. The Hydraulic brakes work very efficiently down those steep hills. The gear shifting is smooth and flawless. The motor is regulated by the prssure I apply to the pedals so it works smoothly in any gear.

I chose the gear to make the cadence of pedeling at a comfortable speed and set the PAS to make the force of pedalling suitable to my fitness. This is a touring bike, not an off road bike or a racing bike. The front suspention takes minor road imperfections in rolling stride.

The folks at Pedego of Louisville, KY are knowledgeable and helpful. They've answered all my questions and had helpful hints.

"I previously owned an electric bike and had major issues with it so I looked into Pedigo. Went and tried one out and bought one on the spot. Sales staff was very knowledgeable and helpful. Rode all summer and no issues.

Being an older adult I never thought I could ride a bike again but now I go out all the time!!

Love this bike! Recommend it to everyone! "

I've been an avid bicyclist for many years. At age 72, I was getting to the point where I couldn't ride as far or as frequently as I once did. Many of my favorite trail locations were no longer accessible. I decided to try an e-bike and WOW, what a difference! I now ride farther and more frequently than I ever did on my conventional bike! As a result, I'm also getting more exercise!

I did quite a bit of research on e-bikes before buying and decided on the Pedego Platinum Interceptor. I chose Pedego for it's well designed features, quality components and FANTASTIC customer service!

My wife and brother are also hooked on e-biking and I'm now the proud owner of three Pedego's!

In short, if you're thinking of giving up cycling due to age or health reasons, try an e-bike. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!

As a 73 year old with the loss of two lobes of my lungs the Pedego gives me the freedom to take advantage of the joy of riding in all types of terrain. I am able to tackle long rides of 50 miles and not worry about bouts of over exertion by adjusting the various levels of assist. The Platinum Interceptor is just plain fun and is easily used for short errands as a daily substitute to a trip in the car. More importantly I am able to ride with my wife who enjoys her 24 inch Rasberry colored interceptor.

Well done! I picked up my new Interceptor Platinum Edition today. It's an upgrade from my old Interceptor. I did a shakedown ride over city streets and gravel greenbelt trail. I'm impressed with the many safety, power, and comfort updates. The ride is much improved and the torque sensor drive was a pleasant surprise to operate. The overall maintained speed was higher and much more consistent thanks to the extra 249 watts in the motor and the efficiency improvement in the controller. The 10 speed cassette makes peddling unassisted easier than the old 7 speed gearing. If I was to make an analogy to cars the old Interceptor design, while good and serviceable, is like the everyday commuter car. The Platinum Edition feels like the bicycle equivalent of driving the T-bird I used to have. Comfort, power, luxury, and style.

Two years ago I was diagnosed with COPD and atrial fibrillation. I found I had to slow to a crawl for biking up even the gentlest inclines. I thought my biking days were over. I rented a Pedego one weekend and rediscovered the joy of biking. Seeing my joy, my wife bought me a Pedego one year ago for my birthday. I can now tackle even the steepest of inclines. My conditioning is improving and I'm able to "dial back" the power assist more and more on each ride. Loving my Pedego for bringing the joy of biking into my life!

My wife and I had the most incredible experience at Pedego Santee.  The whole crew were very helpful friendly and knowledgeable...We are excited to start riding.

I bought 2 Interceptors, silver for my wife, black for me. After 5 years of heavy use I can say I’ve had no issues. I’ve read that the battery lasts 2-4 years, mine are 5 years old and are doing great. Best purchase I’ve ever made. I don’t usually write reviews because I find them biased in one direction or the other, but feel so strongly about Pedego that I want to tell everyone.

After my recent hip replacement, I thought my biking days were over. Then I discovered the Pedego Electric bikes and I'm now back to the biking I love and I am now biking over 25 miles in one day ride.
