Ride Along on ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO
Posted in electric bikes on December 6, 2021 by OC Talk Radiohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-kdgtp-114c04b
This week we’re happy to showcase another passionate Pedego owner. An appeals attorney named Duane Daiker out of Tampa, Florida who found his ebike so appealing that he started his own podcast to chronicle his own journeys and experiences called ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO.
Taking us thru his own evolution from regular bike rider to ebike enthusiast, as he found a way to get his wife back on the road after she suffered a serious heart attack at 50. Giving her the confidence and capability to ride again. And opening up a whole new world of adventure (for both of them) like their recent trip through the National Parks of Utah. Going farther than they once thought possible. And telling the world all about it. On ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO and this week’s PEDEGO PODCAST.

Shatner flies on his Pedego EBike
Posted in electric bikes on November 22, 2021 by OC Talk Radiohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-tt8kq-113b5dd
Our Pedego Podcast is off for Thanksgiving week. But we thought we’d celebrate anyway with a “blast from the past”. And what better to show our Thanks than to share our earlier episode with Star Trek’s famed Captain Kirk (otherwise known as actor William Shatner). Who talked to us about his passion for eBikes (and the pack of them he got for his extended family of 14 to ride). From riding rockets into space to riding his Pedego eBike everywhere else, this 90 year old explorer continues to push the boundaries of what aging looks like today (for all of us!).
On their first date, they discover they both lost their first spouses to pancreatic cancer.

What are the odds of going on your first date, talking, enjoying each others company. You feel this amazing connection and in getting to know each other you ask the question “how did your spouse die?” Imagine the dismay they must have felt to realize they both lost their spouse to pancreatic cancer.
Lee and Dwaine are open and honest about their relationship, their relationship with their pervious spouses, their loss, how they found each other and their common passion to help others and how they keep fighting the world’s toughest cancer in honor of their spouses.
This episode is dedicated to Sally Reitler and Chuck Mattei

Running 2 Businesses at Once
Posted in electric bikes on November 15, 2021 by OC Talk Radiohttps://www.podbean.com/media/share/pb-i7sn6-11317a3
Who says you can’t successfully run two businesses at once? Not today’s guest, Jordan Clark. A hard charging corporate executive who found himself out on the road (as always). But stranded in his hotel down by the beach with an afternoon to kill.
He spots a Pedego Electric Bike in his hotel lobby and on a whim decides to rent one and try riding a bit (not easy with his then 330 pound frame). And eureka! He gets his own eBike epiphany and decides to buy a few for fun. Only to end up buying the whole store in Summerlin, NV and two more in Henderson and Lake Las Vegas. After dropping 80 pounds along the way from his new found passion for riding.
All while continuing to run his own corporate meeting business from his base in Las Vegas.
Showing once again what can happen when people simply say “Hello Fun” and start pedaling along on a Pedego. And follow the path driving more and more entrepreneurs and enthusiasts to the eBike Revolution.
