I just purchased my new bike, here in Minnesota. We have excellent bike trails , but our time to ride our bikes can be limited to about 6 or 7 months ( unless you are a true adventurer and get yourself a Fat Bike). I have never rode an electric bike and decided on the Boomerang Plus. The first time I rode it was so much fun, and I can't wait to get it on our trails, especially on some of our hills. I have had a hip replacement, and the low step thru on the Boomerang was a perfect fit for me. We also have a lot of windy days so the electric bike will be a treat. I can't say enough about the folks at Straight River Sports in Owatonna Mn. They were excellent in helping me choose my bike and their customer service was EXCELLANT. Many Thanks to Ann and her team. Im so glad Pedego Electric Bikes came to Mn. I strongly recommend giving them a try. I can't wait to continue my new adventure on me new Boomerang Plus.
