FOUNTAIN VALLEY, Calif., Feb. 26, 2019 — A new Pedego® Electric Bikes store is now open in Summerlin, Nev., in the center of the Del Webb community. Pedego Summerlin owner Howard Ickes is thrilled to open his second Pedego Electric Bikes store. He also owns Pedego Henderson near Las Vegas, which opened in 2011. Pedego is the Number 1 electric bike brand in the United States.
Ickes, also known as “Mr. Electric Bikes” by his friends and fans, came out of retirement in 2011 at age 71 to open Pedego Henderson. He previously owned a kitchen appliance distributorship. Now at 79 years old, he says owning Pedego stores makes work too much fun to retire.
“Riders on Pedego electric bikes rediscover the simple joys of a bicycle as they conquer hills, headwinds and distances with ease,” said Ickes. “Summerlin’s active seniors and their family members can ride together and enjoy the region’s abundance of scenic bike paths. We look forward to welcoming our community to the Pedego Summerlin store grand opening and to sharing the joys of Pedego electric bikes.”
Pedego Summerlin offers rentals, tours, sales and service of Pedego electric bikes. Powerful Pedego electric bikes help riders conquer hills, distances and weather-related challenges. Riders say they feel like a kid again while getting fresh air and controlling their exercise as they zoom around the Las Vegas Valley. Riders enjoy zooming to restaurants and shopping without having to take a car. With the bike’s Pedal Assist and twist-and-go throttle, they’ll be in complete command of their workouts. Pedal or not, they can enjoy the scenery as they ride around town and beyond. The store also offers free test rides.
“Pedego bikes make riding a breeze,” said Pedego Electric Bikes CEO and co-founder Don DiCostanzo. “Riders can zoom great distances in warm or cool weather, smiling through all kinds of terrain and flying up hills with ease while enjoying the scenic splendor that surrounds them.”
