Pedego Big Island plans grand opening
A new Pedego Big Island electric bike store is having its grand opening celebration beginning at 9 a.m. Saturday. The public is invited to attend.
Co-owners Craig and Michelle Pivo have chosen their electric bikes for their power, reliability and durability. From beachy Comfort Cruisers to hill-tackling Interceptors and sleek Dutch street-style City Commuters, fat-tire Trail Trackers and super-strong Stretch cargo bikes, there is a model for everyone.
While vacationing in California, the Pivos discovered Pedego electric bikes. After enjoying enormous fun, they decided to open a Pedego shop on the Big Island — where they knew people would appreciate the kokua these bikes provide by flattening hills and making headwinds a breeze. In the process, the Pivos chose to remake their own lives. Saying farewell to their longtime corporate careers in the pharmaceutical industry, they set up shop in one of the world’s most scenic vacation locales.
Pedego Big Island offers Pedego electric bikes for sale, tours and rentals. Located at 75-5669 Alii Drive, Suite 1107, the shop is across from Kailua Pier. The company also offers authorized Pedego service on the premises. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
