However, we will also always provide some key insights and takeaways for how to make the best informed choices for your life, your usage and of course the planet (we love her). Because ultimately, we are all using and...

Electric Bike Cost The cost of an electric bike is a huge factor to consider when determining what model to purchase. We get it, it’s definitely an investment. It’s cheaper than a car and more expensive than a bike, which makes sense. We wanted to find an easy way to break down the cost of an electric bike in a transparent way that leaves nothing hidden and gives you peace of mind in whatever model you decide to go with, (never a wrong choice when you choose electric though!)  Let’s get into it: Electric bikes are in demand and even...

As much as we can, we go for the adventure, the thrill, the max speed. What can we say, we love the rush. But even though we love to cut corners and race each other, we still know the importance of a good ol’ safety 101. Being a safe rider is part of the responsibility you share with the rest of the road, being aware and alert will go far! We see it as a balance, keeping the pace of adventure with the assurance that you’ll get there in one piece. Win win! Here’s our go to checklist for riders...

When we think about Venice, we think of home, our friends, our work, walking on the beach and the community ties we continue to create. We value all the aspects that create community, the local digs, the og characters, the legends, the iconic businesses and everything in between. Pedal Electric isn’t just a bike and it’s definitely not just a store, we’re a hybrid, a mix where dreaming, living, creating and discovering all come together under one roof and one sun (because  we’ll take outside over inside anyday!) Everything we do goes back to the community, so to keep it...

The Pedal Electric family is a close knit team of dreamers, movers, explorers and change makers. We’ve made our corner of the city by setting up shop in Venice, CA in a showroom that is becoming home to ideas and growth we are excited to continue to carry out. We knew we wanted community and intention to be big players in our story and how people would connect with us. A lot of us call Venice home, commute into work on our bikes, while continuing to really refine what it means to live this lifestyle and advocate for sustainability by...

At Pedal we are about pushing forward, getting to that place of bliss, of unstoppable inertia, of endless possibility. When we think about riding, we think about freedom, enriched experiences, and exploration. We champion for the road less traveled, continuing to seek out and push ourselves to the limit of how we can move and where we can go. When we ride, it’s never so much of a race or competition, we prefer to prioritize the experience of getting to the destination more than getting there faster (although we’re about that too). So where are we headed? Today is gonna...

How does the saying go? Two heads are better than one…better together... We couldn’t agree more. As much as our bikes are about making YOUR life smoother and easier filled with more adventure, it’s also about sharing that feeling and bringing it into your community.  Our bikes are built so you can always have your ride or die right behind you taking in the views, the breeze, the sun right alongside you.  A tandem ebike is the perfect way to cruise together. Whether it's a homie or your partner, we see tandem cruising as an indescribable experience to share and...

Where we’re going and how we got here has as much to do with the people in our community as it does with our ever growing vision. To us, our bikes aren’t just a technical product, they’re a conduit for change and connecting with the world. They take us where we want to go with the people we want to be with, to go and do what we love. And simply put, that’s the bottom line: do what you love. So much can get lost in living and moving that we forget to live and connect with what we are...

Electric bikes are a modern product that enhance the way we move through sleek design and high performance. With many models to choose from, there are countless ways of using an electric bike. Typically when buying an e-bike, determining how you will use your bike is the most important thing to consider before anything else. Whether you want to use an e-bike for errands around your neighborhood, commuting, weekend adventures or all of the above will inform you to determine which e-bike is best for you.

PEDAL electric is focused on cultivating lifestyle changes, so when we think of grabbing groceries after work or meeting up with our friends we envision our ebikes taking us there through and through. PEDAL electric is the conduit for all these moments of staying connected. More than anything we value being able to be on the go, on the move because we see this spontaneous ability as a driving factor in moving us to live more active present lives with ourselves and our community.
