From start to finish, the rental at Pedego Electric Bikes Norfolk was amazing. We were on a cruise that changed itinerary midway and were not sure what we would do last minute in Norfolk, Virginia. Based on our activity choice and the five star reviews, we booked the “Elizabeth River Trail 2-Hour E-Bike Rental.” I easily booked and paid online through TripAdvisor and was contacted by Amy, the owner, via email to confirm our booking the day prior to our excursion. We arrived at the scheduled time and she could not be more knowledgeable and accommodating! She answered all of our questions and gave us a thorough training before setting off on our adventure. She even offered to get us to the starting point of the Trail. My husband is a cyclist so he quickly took off, where I took things a little slower. The wonderful thing is you can experience the same ride but be at various levels of cycling, peddling, activity & physical ability. We were free to go along the Elizabeth River Trail and in and around the city. It was easy to navigate and Amy was just a phone call away if we needed her for anything! After our ride, we spent a lovely time chatting with her about Pedego, Norfolk and our exciting first time Ebike experience. The shop is meticulous yet comfortable and you can see that great care is taken to make this ride safe and fun. I’m am happy to have found this gem enroute to the cruise port and I highly recommend Pedego Electric Bikes if you are in Norfolk and we wish much success to Amy and the store!
