Fantastic time riding around Norfolk, VA - We had a group of 4 riding on a hot summer day and it was still amazing. Bikes were easy to learn, helmets added a really fun way to communicate as well. We got our monies worth with a solid 4 hours and 1 hour spend at a delicious restaurant as break. I will do this again and again!

Adding some info and a map pic to my previous review... - I thought I could update my recent review to add a picture, but I couldn't, so I am adding it now. Also, the Pedego shop is ideally located near the cruise port in downtown Norfolk. The trail map they provided is of the Norfolk bike path, approx 8 mi from downtown to the North and it ends near the Naval base. The bike path was fairly easy to follow once we knew how to look for the small path signs, however, there were a few spots we needed to refer to the map to determine what road and direction the path took when it was along the road (not a separate path), so the map was important. The restaurant area near Chelsea was a great stop on the way back to the shop. It has food, a distillery, a few brew pubs, etc. but check the operating times. Many of them are closed on Monday and may not open on weekdays for lunch, so later tends to be better. We really enjoyed our Sunday brunch during our ride.

Biking in hot weather with a motor - We took the day of our anniversary to tour Norfolk. After 28 years it is hard to find new things to do. This shop is top notch and the tour was great.

Helpful and accommodating - Even though they are usually closed Mondays, one of my cruisemates alerted them and they agreed to open for us. I did not have a reservation, I was able to rent last-minute on site. Staff was very accommodating. I had a glitch with my bike and they were very helpful. The bike trail by the waterfront is a nice, authentic way to see the area, through neighborhoods and such, mostly very safe although there’s a few road crossings. You might have to keep your eyes peeled for the trail marker signs in town, but they can also give you a map if you get off course.

Fun ride on a sunny day - Very fun e-bike ride in Norfolk. The Elizabeth River Trail is very easy to get to from the store, and there are a lot of things to see - from the waterfront to the university to the neighborhoods. I'd definitely recommend.

Great quality bikes, and customer service if you’re rich go for it - Great electric bike ride along the Elizabeth trail. The bikes are super high quality and go out to 21 mph. However if you’re looking to save money the line bikes are everywhere and can accomplish the same task for a fraction of the price.

Nice Place to Rent a Bike! Well worth it. - I would give this a five star but I wasn’t crazy about getting a fat tire e-bike, which did not have the torque sensor, which takes a bit to control the peddling speed. Plus with the fat tires it was very stiff and the ride was very bumpy. I guess I compare it to our electric bikes that have the torque sensor and front shocks, which makes it both smooth peddling and sooth riding suspension. Without the sensor I had to peddle hard and fast while in the 1st speed setting to keep up with my wife, who had a regular frame and smaller tire bike. And then in the 2nd speed setting I had to constantly back off peddling or it would I to her or go past her. I guess it’s a matter of getting use to it, but I would not recommend a fat tire bike for a casual day ride. The rentals were in a high quality looking sore, and in a very nice location close to the start of the trail and near the downtown area. The staff and owner were very helpful and friendly. We were on a cruise, and the shop was actually running a tour with a group of passengers from our ship, but we decided to do the self guided tour on our own. We followed the same trail that the tour took and it was really nice along the river and through neighborhoods of beautiful old houses. You will find nice little cafes and restaurants along the trail. This is well worth taking.! Just make sure you get the right bike for you. If it had been a different bike for me, it would have been a five star review.

E bike ride - The bikes were good quality and very easy to handle. Vendors were very helpful and made any adjustments required. The trail on the other hand was a bit difficult to stay on as we kept losing the signs. The trail also goes through a lot of residential areas on the residential streets. We did get onto actual trails from time to time.
