I waited, with much anticipation, for my bike to arrive. I just got my Pedego today Wednesday August 17,2011. Between reading Instructions and assembly the bike it took about 25 mins then I was off. WOW, it is more fun than I ever expected. I wanted it for exercise and fun and it delivers both. I am a 66 year old and it feels being a kid again being able to ride again i haven't been on a bike in 20 years. It pedals so easily with no power assist, moves easily into assist mode, and goes fast on full throttle. What I like most about this bike is that I can go for longer rides without getting tired, having to worry about hills or getting across a busy street quickly. All this fun in a great bike that is "Built to Last" Thank you. John D. Mass.
