World's First Electric Tandem Bicycle

PEDEGO just unveiled the world's first electric tandem bicycle. The PEDEGO tandem e-bike features two wide, cushioned seats, relaxed handlebars and a rear motor. It operates a lot like a regular tandem bicycle but uses a parallel electric drive system that includes a 750 watt motor and 48 volt lithium manganese battery. The battery will last about 15,000 miles and costs less than 10 cents to recharge. The throttle is controlled by the rear rider gently revving the right handlebar grip.

"PEDEGO fuses fashion and fun with electric bike technology, so we're thrilled to be the first company to offer a cool tandem bike with electric components," said Don DiCostanzo, co- founder and CEO of PEDEGO. "As interest in electric bikes continues to grow both here and abroad, PEDEGO remains committed to offering consumers unique, quality bicycles available in stylish designs with customizable options."

The PEDEGO electric tandems will be available in time for the holiday season for about $2,300.
