Zee left the nonprofit world to enjoy full-time fun as the managing partner at Pedego Frederick. Previously, she worked with Alexander for 20 years in various nonprofit, mental health and community-development settings. Alexander continues to work as a business consultant and professional speaker. Zee’s longtime friend Ricci works in the entertainment industry where he’s been a concert lighting designer and director for 30 years.

“Our Pedego store is a healthy and fun addition to the community of Frederick,” said Zee. “Locals and visitors exploring our historic city will enjoy this powerful new way to cruise around town.”

Pedego Frederick worked closely with Frederick’s Tourism Council and Visitor’s Center to design an eight-mile, hour-and-a-half guided “Fall in Love with Frederick” tour that gives riders a sample of the scenery and historic sites the city has to offer. Customized tours for private parties, family events and special themes are also available. For renters who prefer to explore on their own, Pedego Frederick is conveniently located near numerous historic sites and scenic paths in the “City of the Clustered Spires.” Riders can explore the city’s 50-block historic district with stops at various points of interest dating back to the 18th Century. A map is available online for the well-known Frederick History Bicycle Loop that takes riders on a 10-mile route around town with stops at the Francis Scott Key Monument and several Civil War sites.

“On Pedego electric bikes, riders can cruise together for a day’s adventure exploring historic Frederick, avoiding parking hassles and saving on car rentals while having fun every minute of the day,” said Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder Don DiCostanzo.
