We were full of questions and Allan answered everyone. We bought 2 Bagi ebikes but we didnt test ride one of them and unfortunately when we got home, 1 of the bikes PAS was not working. We took it back and Allan exchanged it immediately. Customer service was outstanding. We spent the rest of the weekend riding them and having so much fun!

We had an awesome buying experience here! Allen was very knowledgeable and very patient with our questions. He brought out as many bikes for us to try as we asked. We felt he helped us choose the bikes that were just right for us and was not pushy at all. Jill and Scott

My wife and I are novices and were exploring the possibility of purchasing e-bikes. We went to the store and Allen spent at least two hours with us reviewing our needs and different models available that would be considerable for us. I cant say how patient and informed he was with the time he spent and the information he provided to us. I would highly recommend stopping at Freedom 4 and giving them a chance to try to help you find your perfect electronic bike!

I shopped for ebikes up and down the sun coast, from Tampa to Venice, and settled on Freedom 4 Electric Bikes for one reason — Mike, the owner. He’s a straight shooter, but most of all, he takes care of his customers. Not only have I benefitted from this excellent service on numerous occasions, but I’ve even been approached by strangers who recognized my bike, a Magnum Peak, as a model that only Mike sells, and I’ve heard firsthand their stories of him going out of his way to help with facilitating sales and making repairs easier. Twice, this has happened, people approaching me. In addition, he sells only quality products (the only Magnum dealer around here). I looked at Gazelles and Terns, and Pedegos and Rads, but I kept coming back to his shop.

We have owned Magnum Metro bikes we purchased from Mike at Freedom 4 Electric Bike Company. From the first day we owned them, Mike has been helpful, informative and responsive. We have had our bikes well over a year. We ran into a problem the other day. As expected, Mike took care of us as if we had just bought the bikes. Cant say enough great things about this business. Highly recommend.

We purchased an AWESOME fat tire trike from Mike and Debra who happen to sell the Best Quality bikes around. There word is perfect and whatever they tell you that is exactly what they deliver. They spent time with our daughter explaining how to ride the trike safely and all the working bells and whistles.These owners are quality people NO DISAPPOINTMENTS HERE!Purchase with confidense.

Our buying experience. We had been looking at different models of ebikes for several months and while visiting family in Sarasota we decided to see what was available. I called late in the afternoon and talked with Mike and he said come on down even though they were closing in about 1 hour.We got to the Shop and Mike let my wife test ride multiple different models even past closing time. Mike is the ultimate salesman and did a terrific job of explaining the benefits of the different models. We came back 2 days later to buy a Bagibike B27.Mike did everything he could to help us be a satisfied customer. My only complaint is that Mike stated that since we lived out of state we would not pay sales tax. When we went to buy he said that taxes was required? Other than that issue Mike went above to make us a happy customer. Thanks for helping us select a bike.Bagibike b27 cruiser bike. We selected the Bagibike even though we could not find any reviews which was a concern for us.We really liked the appear and the added features. It came with lights, fenders, hidden battery. The bike comes with a 48 volt battery system with 9 levels of pedal assistance.Our first charge lasted over 75 miles until it needed recharge. The two minor complaints are that the battery indicator went down to 2 bars and then jumped to appear fully charged but it was really time to recharge. I talked to 2 people and read other reviews and that seems to be a common issues. The other issue is that the brakes started squeaking. The bike has been terrific for my wife who is 5ft 6 tall. We get lots of positive comments as we ride. I will send another update as things change.

We purchased two magnum electric bikes last month they are a lot of fun and encourage you to ride more often longer distances. They are also great if the temperatures outside are excessive you can still ride comfortably by just using more assist. They seem to be built well and a good product I would highly recommend Mike and the product as well.

Review №14

After researching electric-assist bicycles, I decided that Pedego was the quality leader. So I was willing to drive 275 miles from my home to test drive at a full service/authorized Pedego dealer, and after meeting Mike Weatherby at Pedego Sarasota, I am sure glad I chose his dealership. We corresponded via email on what I (and my wife) were interested in trying out, and he was waiting with every model that we were considering when we arrived. Although we were primarily interested in the Boomerang model, he had suggested in advance that we also test ride an Interceptor model. The man knows what he is talking about - we both bought Interceptors. Mike had Pedego CA ship the bikes directly to our home in FL at no extra charge, personally shipped to us a bunch of useful accessories again at no extra charge, and had Pedego configure our bikes with upgraded adjustable handlebars - you guessed it, no extra charge. A great buying experience.

Had a great experience learning about and buying our first electric bikes, purchased 2 magnum folding bikes and they. were amazing, even fit in the back of the small suv we have! Everything was well explained to us and we couldn’t be happier. Would recommend to anyone looking at getting an electric bike.

First of all, Mike is a great guy that provides excellent customer service. Shopped around for a year, in fact we shopped here months ago. When we finally decided to go with Pedego, we knew where we were going to make our purchase. Weve only had our bikes for a week and they are amazing. Lots and lots of fun.

Mike and crew bent over backwards to see we were satisfied and we were! Told my wife when we first called the store that I would buy from this guy just based on his actons while on the phone. I was a bit surprised as our recent experience with other Pedego dealers was less than satisfying to say the least.

I rarely write a review, but felt it was well deserved. I purchased a Pedago electric bike to be shipped home to Ohio. There were a few problems with the accessories and the shipping, but Mike stepped up and resolved everything immediately. To me, this is the sign of a trustworthy dealer, someone who still helps you after a purchase has been complete! Would highly recommend and am loving my new bike!

I would give this bike shop more stars if possible! Mike was very, very helpful in describing the bikes in the store, setting several up for me to try. I have not ridden a bike in many years due to an injury, so I was nervous. Mike was patient, and when I rode the Perego Interceptor, I was in love. In seconds. So smooth, easy and most of all, FUN! Mike changes out the handlebars, seat, adds fenders and more to make the bike totally awesome. I went for my first 14 mile ride yesterday. I am so very happy I bought this bike, I loved the ride. I did it in all of the setting. No help, with pedal assist and on a very curvy part, I used all electric motor! I received a goody bag from Pedego about 2 weeks after my purchase. Great sway! A water bottle, watch, light back pack, and a few more things. Really a fantastic store, due to Mike, the owner. He made my experience truly memorable, in a positive way. I highly recommend this store!!

Mike was very helpful as my wife and I wanted to trade in and purchase our second set of Pedego bikes. Not only did Mike let us test ride bikes he followed thru with all the new bells and whistles that that our older bikes did not have. Delivery was great and we are enjoying our bikes very much. When it is time to update to new Pedegos, we will head back to see Mike.

My husband rented a Pedego Electric Bike in Steamboat Springs, CO a few months ago and came home too excited for words. We shopped around to explore electric bike life and all the brands available out there and then visited Mike at Pedego in Sarasota. Well, that was it! The customer service is exceptional and Mike will give you the shirt off his back without asking. He is very knowledgable and can answer every question there is. We purchased a mens Interceptor 26 in platinum and a ladies Interceptor 24 in seafoam green. Our neighbors see us coming and stop us often to ask about the bikes all the time. Must be the giant smiles on our faces! We most highly recommend you visit Mike when considering an electric bike. Pedego brand speaks for itself, Mike does the rest!! THANK YOU, MIKE :)

I have been renting & shopping for a Pedego for a year now. After our last rental we had picked out the model we wanted but were not comfortable with all of the extras that dealer was adding on. While on vacation I emailed Mike and he answered all my questions. He came in on his day off and quoted us a complete package of extras we hadnt even asked for. That price was cheaper than the other dealers basic price and he dropped shipped them to our house. We have gotten the bikes (10 days from when we ordered). Everything was as promised. While in the store he educated and taught us. This is the only store I will use or recommend when it comes to Pedegos. We left Very Happy customers. And felt like we made a friend in the process.

I found a posting of theirs on Craigslist which I thought was too good to be true. After several emails back and fourth with Mike, I felt comfortable with the deal being legitimate. Upon arriving, he was friendly and knowledgable. He even let me test ride the bike without so much as asking for an ID or anything (sure, my vehicle was there). When all was said and done, I got my new bike, with factory warranty for near a thousand dollars less than I could find it anywhere else!

When it comes to an electric bike I have shopped around and there are so many configurations makes and models that it gets a little bit confusing Mike at Pedigo was very patient and explained everything after he knew my needs and paired me with the perfect bike for my needs thanks Mike and their service department is right on the ball they take care of what you need when you need it

Mike and Debbie have always been attentive and professional business persons. We genuinely enjoy our Pedego bikes. We have owned ours for 3 years without any problems. The bike was very valuable in my rehab from a very debilitating illness. I could pedal until weary, then motor through stiff winds or inclines as needed. They are far more fun than a stationary bike.Don and Nicki GreenbergAnna Maria, Fl.

A couple of our friends were over and were wanting to look at Ebikes. The wife and I thought ok this would be fun so we wound up at the Pedego dealer in Sarasota. Mike was very informative, helpful, and funny. He took as much time with us four as we needed and never rushed or dodged a question. Very good experience and we all bought bikes that day. They arrived in about a week and Mike let us know when they would be ready for pick up. He showed us how to adjust the bike rack for our bikes. We are glad we got hooked up with Mike and will visit him when we drop back thru next year. He is a good dude who provides GREAT service.

Review №39

One would think that with a franchise selling such pricey bikes that they would have a little better training dealing with people in general.Make sure you have all your paperwork if you are trying to get replacement parts. I understand that bikes are an easy thing to steal but when you right off the bat assume that one is stolen because it was purchased at a pawn shop, that just makes bad business. I was hung up on after asking if they could give me the number to Pedego so I may authenticate my bikes serial number. Granted, I could have easily done it myself to begin with but still!I am sorry that they were upset that I didnt pay full retail price for a Pedego!Ps. I did get my charger for my NOT Stolen bike, directly from Pedego in California. Everyone should do themselves a favor and avoid this Sarasota franchise like the plague.
