Practical Cycle, Sacramento Electric Bike Sales, Service, Rentals, Accessories

Steve and Carolee are long time electric bike riders.  They have owned several different types of bicycles and and even an electric assist tricycle over the years.  This time around, they really did their homework.  They did all the research they could online and then test rode five different brands- Hebb, A2B, Stromer, BionX, and Pedego.  When they were convinced that Pedego Electric Bikes were best suited for their needs they came back to Practical Cycle to rent a few for a longer ride along the American River Parkway. 

When they returned, Steve was a bit discouraged because the longer ride had caused him some pain in his back and tail bone.  My dad suggested he try the Easy Seat, and Steve took one home to try out on one of his current bikes.  Problem solved!  They were back two days later to pick up these two Step-Thru Comfort Cruisers with Balloon Packages.  Carolee's bike has fenders and Steve ordered an extended range battery to help him haul their dogs in a trailer.

Emily originally came to Practical Cycle looking at a Linus we had on clearance.  She was familiar with Breezer because she works with our customer Patty, and her sister, who lives in Portland, just bought an Uptown Infinity.  She has never been able to find a bike that fit her just right- that is until she test rode a small Breezer Uptown 8 we had in stock.  It fit perfectly!  We ordered an Uptown 3 for her in the same size, and it was here within a week.

When I took this picture she modestly said, "I was afraid you would ask.  I've seen your website!"  Thanks for being a good sport Emily.

Dan in a nutrition coach and this BionX powered Yuba Mundo is part of his healthy lifestyle.  His goal is to drive his car as little as possible.  He was riding a motorcycle around town, then he switched to a "crappy ten-speed," and now he has found a nice balance between the two.  Dan preferred the BionX over the kit that comes on the ElMundo because of the natural feeling of the pedal assist with a torque sensor.  It feels like having bionic legs! This is the first BionX conversion kit we have done (or even seen) on a Yuba Mundo.  It took a little creativity, but it turned out awesome.

Karen doesn't drive anymore, and she will be using her new Worksman Port-o-Trike to get around in Rocklin.  Its much faster than walking and gives her much greater freedom and independence.  She is a super fun lady, and you can tell by the smile on her face what a great time she had on her test ride.  She even called later on that day just to say thanks again and tell us how much she loves her new wheels!
