A Pedego Electric Bike is the best way to experience all that Sarasota has to offer, including the Legacy Trail and Siesta Key. A Pedego is just like a regular bike – only better! You can pedal normally (or not) and get power when you want it. You have the freedom to go farther and faster, and to conquer hills and headwinds with ease. It feels like being a kid again!
Stop by and rent a Pedego Bike from the friendly, helpful staff at Pedego Sarasota. We promise an unforgettable experience that is sure to be the highlight of your trip.
We are located at 3460 Clark Road, Sarasota, FL 34231

Located in Palmer Ranch:
- The pedal forward design, upright, relaxed riding position makes them comfy, stable and fun to ride even if you haven’t been on a bike since you were a kid!
- You can plant your feet flat on the ground easily without leaving the saddle.
- The saddle is nice and wide (so you’ll be able to walk the next day)
- Some have a swooped top tube that allows easy step through.
