Pedego Boomerang Review - $3k

The Pedego Boomerang is possibly the lowest low-step mass market electric bicycle ever created! The standover height is just 8" (20.3cm) off the ground, making it extremely easy to mount and stabilize. Available in two frame sizes with 24" or 26" wheels respectively, five beautiful colors that span the fork, rear rack, and chain cover, and two battery pack sizes (480wh or 720wh). Premium Schwalbe puncture resistant balloon tires with reflective sidewall stripes pair nicely with the Satori suspension seatpost and integrated front and rear lights to keep you comfortable and safe. Powerful 180mm hydraulic disc brakes with large four finger levers make stopping easy, both brake levers have motor inhibitors built-in for added control. Upgraded 7-speed drivetrain with wide 12 to 32 tooth cassette provides easier starts and climbing as well as comfortable cadence at speed. The SRAM X-4 derailleur is two steps up from the base and tends to be very reliable, but the trigger shifters are a bit small. Upgraded LCD display is large and easy to reach while holding the left grip, it even has a built-in USB port to charge electronic accessories as you ride. Optional matching fenders, side mirrors, and trunk bags add utility. Vast network of dealers for test rides and post-purchase support, industry leading five year limited warranty. Upgrade path to Platinum Boomerang with air suspension fork, nicer suspension seat post, and higher capacity batteries. Trade-offs include rear heavy design, limited suspension, no slap guard, and center mount kickstand that can cause pedal lock. 0:00 Introduction and quick overview 1:16 Wheel strength, optional cast magnesium rim options 2:02 Cadence sensor, kickstand details, weight discussion 3:30 Handlebar, adjustable stem, geometry considerations 4:53 Battery pack: 48v 10ah 480wh and charger: 48v 3 amp 6:17 High quality cells, battery care tips to extend life 8:15 Steel fork, chain cover, optional fenders can rust 9:10 Official maximum weight rating: 250lbs (113kgs) 10:15 Cranks, pedals, cassette and derailleur details 11:48 Tires details: puncture resistant and reflective 14:02 Planetary geared hub motor: Dapu 500w 45nm rated 14:59 Brake details: hydraulic disc with 180mm rotors 16:18 Company history and founder story, began in 2007 17:12 Display panel overview, USB charging port 19:21 Display panel settings menu, trigger shifters 23:05 Ride test begins, first person shots 26:07 Drivetrain and motor closeups, frame camera 27:46 Forward facing camera, fork and trail shots 28:47 Third person camera, rideby shots 29:28 Conclusion, site resources, customer story Full review with specs and comparison tool: https://electricbikereview.com/pedego... → Become a Subscriber: https://www.youtube.com/subscription_... → Instagram:   / ebikereview   → Facebook:   / electricbikereview   → Website: https://electricbikereview.com/ → My Channel Home Page:    / electricbikereview   → This is the first accessory I add to any electric bike: https://amzn.to/3aX2dKD → As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. *If my video review was helpful, please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing.* Disclaimer: Due to factors beyond the control of EBR, I cannot guarantee against improper use or unauthorized modifications of this information.
