PRLog -- Pedego Electric Bikes is celebrating yet another triumph, as their City Commuter model is leading the pack in worldwide popularity. Employee purchases supported by several multinational corporations and Pedego dealerships springing up in more than 35 countries have pushed Pedego's City Commuter into the winning position. Several key features helped make it
the e-bike of choice for cyclists around the world as far apart as Canada and New Zealand.
The City Commuter's sleek design attracts attention, but it's the extras that have really speeded up sales. Starting with built-in lights and fenders, the bikes also come standard with Schwalbe balloon tires, matching handgrips and seat. The most prominent feature is the onboard computer, which adds pedal assist, also known as
pedelec -- the cruise control of electric bicycles. Pedego goes one further in that, too. Other brands of e-bikes may offer pedal assist, but then it's typically the sole option on their bike. City Commuter riders have the ability to switch between pedal assist and a manual throttle.This choice allows riders more control, a potential lifesaver. For example, a rider facing strong headwinds may enjoy using pedal assist to roll along without paying it much attention. But in traffic, that rider can use the throttle to maneuver quickly of out a car's path. This choice has proven extremely popular with riders.
The subsidies tech-related giants are offering their employees have pushed steady growth in purchases. And this is a long list of employees, considering the corporations include Google, Inc., Apple, Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Tesla Motors. This success is due in large part to Pedego's willingness to expand their line. the company's core value of innovation led them to design a bike that would be stylish and functional in cold, rainy weather. And the resulting popularity of the City Commuter is one that CEO and company co-founder Don DiCostanzo celebrates. "We're pleased to be able to provide the solution to so many commuters' needs. this bike is a phenonemon."
