Pedego Myrtle Beach

Amazing business. Couldn’t recommend any more highly — and I don’t tend to say that lightly. While Pedego also sells Pedego electric bicycles, they also rent out bicycles as well. You can rent by the hour, the three-​hour, and the day — but he’ll rent in half-​hour increments as well.
Got there without an appointment (yeah, I’m a butt like that), and the owner was happy to fit me into the schedule with three bikes for me. He’ll ask about your height and help you pick out the best bicycle design for your height. He’ll adjust the seat for you as well. He explained how the bicycle works (after all, most people aren’t used to electric bicycles), and each person takes a turn on the bicycle with him watching to ensure you know what you’re doing. He also offers free helmets if you choose to wear them. And THEN he starts your time-​limit for a rental. Very friendly service and a very fun guy to talk to as well.
The bicycles themselves were in fantastic shape. All of the batteries were fully charged, and our full-​hour ride didn’t even move any of the battery level away from «full». No mechanical problems at all. They were super shiny and kept in perfect condition.
The Pedego bicycles are super fun to ride too — just independent of the business as well. They’re heavier than regular bikes, but as you peddle, you can twist the handlebar section to add power. The bikes go to about 20 miles per hour, and while you’ll work up a sweat if you peddle, you don’t have to if you don’t want to. You can just use the throttle when you want — to get you started from a stop or moving up a hill or whatnot.
Decent location for this too. While the Market area doesn’t want you riding on the sidewalk near the shopping district, there’s a large lake (with birds!) and a bike trail easily within the hour-​long limit. You could probably make it to the beach as well, but we weren’t looking to do that. You won’t have to ride much on the road at all.
It was about $ 20 a person for an hour for this, and it was totally worth it. They also have a tandem bicycle that you can rent. They publically post their rates on their website, so it makes it easy to plan things — as you rent more bikes, you’ll receive a discount as well.
Fantastic. I feel like this is something most people should make a part of their vacation — especially if you’re looking for a good fitness activity. Since you can add throttle to the bicycle as needed, the less in-​shape people can just add more power while the more in-​shape people can just use the bicycles for a fantastic workout and way to see the Market District area.
