Pro Tip

Request a Pedego if you want an electric. Arrange delivery and pickup for multi-bike rentals and inspect child seats and kickstands before you leave.

On the corner of Balboa and 20th, the tiny showroom smells of salt, chain lube and sunscreen. Families wrestle helmets while a couple argues over which Pedego to try. The fleet is honest: brand new electric Pedegos sit next to beaten-in cruisers with stubborn kickstands and rusty chains that squeal like a gull. Staff move with concierge efficiency. They deliver eight bikes to a vacation house, rescue locked chains, and pick the fleet up on checkout. Service is friendly, sometimes almost apologetic for a seat that creaks or a baby seat that has seen better summers. Bring patience and a sense of humor. Ask for a Pedego if you want effortless speed. And watch the sunset from the boardwalk as the tide writes soft, wet lines in the sand.
