Pedego Electric Bikes

Riding Pedego Triangle electric bikes is one of the few remaining socially distanced "sanctioned" activities in today's environment. Electric bikes accommodate all athletic abilities, making it easy for small groups to stay together touring the beautiful countryside while still maintaining a 6 ft distance apart. Come ride a Pedego Electric Bike today. We offer electric bike rentals and are located right on the American Tobacco Trail--a 50 mile RT trail through the countryside where you can get a flavor of wildlife and scenic views of North Carolina. Take a picnic and stay on the pine covered trail or ride into Durham for sightseeing, restaurants, bars, shopping, or even a Bulls Baseball Game at the Durham stadium! (Once large group activities are resumed.) We also offer group rides such as one to a family owned vineyard where you can taste wine, picnic, and often listen to an outdoor concert in the vineyard. The best outdoor activity for everyone to enjoy!

Great equipment, instruction, and hospitality. Took the bikes on 20 m round trip southbound and still had plenty of battery left. Repeated the fun a week later.
