Did the self-guided ebike tour, which exceeded expectations. The bikes are great and have both pedal assist as well as a throttle (e.g. like a motorcycle) option. The seats were also very comfortable and were Cloud-9s. I think I got my bike just over 21 mph which was fun at full throttle.
One of the cool things about the bikes is the battery is QUICKLY swappable so in the off chance something goes wrong, they can quickly run out a new battery to wherever you are to get you back up and running again if/as needed.
The self-guided tour was very much covered in shade most of the time, and because you choose how hard you want to work vs the bike, even on hot days, you don't have to get insanely sweaty or exhausted unless you want to get some exercise in and do more manual pedaling. I was very surprised how easy and nearly "effortless" it was to do 16+ miles in about 3ish hours or so.
Amy is who helped us and is/was amazing and provided exceptional customer service. We appreciated the flexibility of not having to return the bikes to the very minute of the reservation time.
We'd definitely rent the bikes again the next time we are up this way and highly recommend it to anybody. If you're considering it, do it - you'll have a...
Read moreMy husband and I spent a couple of days on Wonderful Amelia Island and were Excited to try an e-bike. There were no tours available for our bike day, but Rossi the owner was Terrific and she encouraged us to come in anyway and take our own self-guided ride. She taught us how to use the bikes and made sure we were comfortable riding them and well-equipped with helmets and water. The bikes are great, easy to use, and a pleasure to ride. (My husband was especially pleased that we rode about 20 miles and he said "had no exercise at all"). We took the same route as the tour would have taken us. The day was warm and Gorgeous and we were surrounded by such Beautiful scenery on our whole trip. The self-guided map does need some work (when you get to the end of the bike trail, you have to cross the road where the trail continues; when you get to the bridge, you take the big one to the left; if you don't take the beach path, pay close attention to the path you came on so you can get home) and we got somewhat lost before we backtracked and found our way. Rossi came to find us and (very kindly) did not charge us for our "lost" time. We loved her and the whole...
Read moreI called several ebike and other rental stores around the island and Amy @ Pedego was extremely responsive, knowledgable and patient; answering several preliminary questions and reassuring when I was concerned my son would not be able to ride a bike of his own. She said she would assess his readiness and as long as he's comfortable riding a bike, he should be fine. When we arrived, Amy was accommodating and welcoming and immediately engaged my son in casual conversation that I could tell was part of her assessment. She took the extra time to make sure the bike seats were customized to our individual leg lengths and allowed us to test drive the bikes to get a feel for the throttle and weight variables. AMY WAS AMAZING! Our bike ride was EPIC and when we had issues with the bike lock and battery she came right out to find us and bring us whatever we would need to keep rolling. I COULDN'T RECOMMEND PEDEGO AMELIA ISLAND MORE!! Thanks again Amy! Your service is...
