We had never tried electric bikes before, so we were totally new to this. The staff at Pedago was super nice. Conor showed us how to work the bikes (easy) and we practiced a bit in the area next to the shop. We had it down in 10 minutes. Then the real fun began! There was a family of 4 in our group (total of 6 riders plus Conor) and we rode through beautiful neighborhoods, lots of trails, the Univ of Colorado, NIST, to the base of the mountains, and up and down hills. The scenery was beautiful and there was time along the way to take pictures and even cool off inside one of the NIST buildings. Conor was a wealth of knowledge about the Boulder area and has a great personality. We had the best time ever and will do this again on our next trip to Boulder. We are not bike riders, so we wondered how we would do on these bikes, but the great thing is that you can pedal the whole time, pedal some of the time, or not pedal at all! It was a hot day, but letting the bikes take us up the big hills instead of pedaling was sooooo nice!
