I was considering buying an electric bike and wanted to “test drive” the Pedego Boomerang, so I took the Flying Bike’s West Asheville “RAM” tour on one of their rental Boomerangs. I’m 74 and hadn’t been on a bike for years, except a brief test-drive at another e-bike dealer’s that did not go very well because of their poor instruction, and the idea of learning to use an e-bike on the hills of Asheville was rather frightening. But our tour guide, Ethan, was EXCELLENT, gave the best instructions on how to handle an e-bike both before and during the tour. I learned so much and felt very well cared for. The tour went so well I decided to buy the Pedego Boomerang. I was impressed that Ritchie had chosen, after much research, Pedego bikes for his tour business. They are definitely a quality product, the only e-bike brand to offer a 5-year warranty, which impressed me.
