PEDEGO AND BIG WHEEL BIKES TO UNVEIL NEW ECO-FRIENDLY ELECTRIC BIKE ON THURSDAY, APRIL 22 -- EARTH DAY

(Arlington VA) -- To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Earth Day on Thursday, April 22, Big Wheel Bikes will introduce Pedego Electric Bicycles to the DC area.

"We will demonstrate Pedego's complete product line at Big Wheel Bikes, 3119 Lee Highway, in Arlington, at Lyon Village Shopping Center, from 3 PM to 7 PM on Earth Day," said Alan Levine, the Pedego distributor in Arlington, Virginia. "We are very pleased to be aligned with Big Wheel Bikes. We feel that their 39 years in business and unmatched service makes them the perfect dealer for Pedego Electric Bikes. From Big Wheel's Arlington location, riders can easily test-ride the bikes on the Custis Trail, which offers a good combination of gentle slopes and steep uphill climbs. Saving energy is the key to America's future, and every bike we add on the road is one less car. We can actually take cars off the road for good."

Levine invites any official who has ever spoken about saving energy, reducing carbon footprint, or other green initiatives, to attend the unveiling. "On Earth Day, everybody talks the talk, and some walk the walk. Let's see who rides the ride," challenged Levine.

Pedego, based in Irvine, California, offers the highest quality and most unique electric bicycles in America. Pedego Electric Bicycles enable anyone, regardless of age, ability, or physical condition to rediscover the joy of bike riding. Pedego Electric Bicycles function as ordinary pedal bikes, but at a touch of the throttle, the zero-emissions motor silently kicks in to assist the rider to surmount even the steepest of hills. Riders can choose between pedaling, using the motor, or both. Pedego Electric Bicycles can travel distances up to 30 miles at speeds up to 20 MPH on one four-hour charge from an ordinary wall plug. The battery is detachable for ease of charging, and the charger is similar in size to a laptop charger. Under Federal Law, electric bikes do not require a driver's license or registration.

One of Pedego's models, the patented Umbrella Folding Bike, folds up in one second. When folded, Umbrella Folding Bikes are small enough to carry in the trunk of a car, store in a closet, or roll onto a train. Alan Levine, co-founder of Hybrid Pedals, the DC area distributor of Pedego, said, "This bike is very powerful, and the easy folding feature makes it perfect for commuters, boaters, RV owners, or anyone who can't store a full sized bike." Pedego also offers a full-sized beach-cruiser-style bike, available in a wide array of color choices. "All of our e-bikes offer a fun, smooth and stylish ride", Levine said. "We like to call it recreational exercise. Boomers love this bike because of the ease of riding and the fact that they can ride longer distances and not be afraid of hills." Levine added "every person that goes for a ride comes back with an ear to ear grin on thier face." Pedego Electric Bicycles are manufactured to last, using high quality beand-name components. Both models are designed for urban transportation or recreational exercise. In particular, Pedego Electric Bicycles are ideal for persons with health issues, such as heart or respiratory issues, or other conditions that would prevent them from riding a regular bicycle. "Pedego Electric Bicycles are also a good choice for amputees or wounded warriors who want to get back on their bikes," said Levine.

Big Wheel Bikes has locations in Alexandria, Arlington, Bethesda, Georgetown, and Potomac. Big Wheel Bikes will serve as the official repair and maintenance center for the innovative new Pedego Electric Bicycles. For more information about Big Wheel Bikes, see www.bigwheelbikes.com

Eric Fingerhut, founder of International Cycling Law Association (eric.fingerhut@cyclinglaw.org) will attend to answer any legal questions about electric bicycles.

(A list of invitees will be available shortly.)

Dr. Delivery, an Arlington-based multi-restaurant delivery company, will provide refreshments, food, and live entertainment during the unveiling.
