DEAR FUN LOVERS,
Thanks for looking into the Pedego store opportunity. It’s my dream that you’ll discover the same joy and satisfaction that I’ve found in this business.
In 2008, my best friend Terry and I sat down for lunch, and Pedego was born on the back of a napkin – literally. Neither of us could have imagined it would grow into what it is today.
Four years later, a Pedego customer loved the brand so much that he opened the first Pedego store in Huntington Beach, CA. Since then, over 100 Pedego stores have sprung up all over the world.
Today, Pedego is the number one brand of electric bikes in America (according to Navigant Research). The electric bicycle industry is booming, and we’re well positioned to capitalize on this exciting growth opportunity.
With your help, we can take something good and make it truly great!
Sincerely,
Don DiCostanzo Chief Executive Officer
ROCK-SOLID FOUNDATION
The success of Pedego is built on the foundation of two basic principles:
DELIGHT OUR CUSTOMERS
Going above and beyond to delight
customers is more than a goal.
It’s a promise!
SUPPORT OUR STORES
Without Pedego stores, there
would be no Pedego.
Their success comes first.
IMAGINE EARNING A LIVING
DOING SOMETHING YOU LOVE…
The secret to unleashing your full business potential is to put your heart into it. Owning a Pedego Store is something you can be passionate about – it’s both enjoyable and fulfilling.
It feels good to see the smile on a customer’s face, or to hear how riding a Pedego has touched somebody’s life.
And it’s fun! At Pedego, we’re serious about fun. We believe it’s the key to long and lasting happiness. And isn’t that what life is all about?
THE OPPORTUNITY OF
A LIFETIME
The electric bike business is booming! You’re in the right place, at the right time, to get in on the ground floor of a promising young industry. Working together, we’re in a position to dominate the marketplace. An opportunity this good may only come once in a lifetime!
BABY BOOMERS LOVE PEDEGO
(AND WE LOVE THEM!)
Baby Boomers are the most attractive market segment of all time! Pedego was founded by baby boomers, for baby boomers; so we understand what they want, and we know how to give it to them. The “forever young” generation is doing everything they possibly can to fight aging, and riding a Pedego is a perfect way for boomers to remain active and healthy, and feel young again!
THE SWEET SPOT
Every product has a predictable life cycle. In the introduction stage, awareness is limited and sales volume is low. In the maturity stage, competition is fierce and profits decline. Electric Bikes are now entering the growth stage, which is the sweet spot where sales have grown (and continue to grow) dramatically, and the competition hasn’t caught up to it yet. Now is the time to jump on this incredible opportunity before everybody else does!
THE PEDEGO BUSINESS MODEL
SALES
The key to selling Pedego Electric Bikes is getting people to try them. Riders invariably fall in love with the bikes, and they sell themselves. Your job is simply to create an environment where it’s fun and easy to buy.
RENTALS & TOURS
Rentals and tours are especially fun and rewarding. They can be highly profitable, and they’re one of the best ways to get “butts on bikes” and let people experience the joy of riding a Pedego for the very first time.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories make riding even more fun for your customers while providing a high margin source of income for your business. Most buyers include several hundred dollars of accessories with their Pedegos.
SERVICE
Buying a Pedego is the beginning of a long and fruitful relationship. Your service department will provide world-class maintenance and repair service that delights your customers while making the cash register ring.
A WINNING FORMULA
Our philosophy is that you’re in business for yourself, but you’re never by yourself. The Pedego dealer support “dream team” is with you every step of the way. With well over a decade of hands-on electric bike retail experience, the “dream team” knows exactly what it takes to win in this business. Their sole focus is sharing their expertise and providing all the tools you need.
