- čas přidán 5. 08. 2024
- 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.

Pedego Boomerang is not merely for people who need a very low step over. My husband and I prefer a lower step over than the traditional triangular or cruiser style frame requires. While I chose the City Commuter for several reasons, my husband discovered that the length of his feet made the V-shape in that model's frame too narrow to provide any step over benefit. The "length" of the step through opening on the Boomerang suited him very well. The frame does have a bit of flex, but he did not find it noticeable. By the way, over two years after purchase, we are very happy with brand and model choices.
I appreciate that you're starting to include the max weight limit info, which benefits heavier riders like myself. Keep up the great work!!
Very comprehensive review...much appreciated...this reviewer just keeps getting better and better.
I've watched both your vlogs today and I'm loving the front camera shots you can see how fast the bike is going and the beautiful places where you live court Respect, my friend 💙👍🏾
Nice to see you giving something other than a Bosch system a favorable review, the Bosch system doesn't suit everyone and does have its own drawbacks for some people with weak legs as its definitely biassed towards torque, and a simple cadence system can have benefits for some of us not able to put in that power so are more heavily reliant on a cadence type handing you the power.
Good to know '.
I love my Pedego Boomerang. Ive had it for 2 years. We have had good service with them. My biggest problem with them is that, if the battery drains down or the motor malfunctions, the bikes are very hard to pedal without help from the motor.
It’s heavy due to the electric motor attached
great review, i just picked up the 26" version a two weeks ago, and it's arrived with the shimano
trigger shifters with the big top mounted display. absolutely love having a LBS for service and support
after beating up the derailleur earlier this week.
Glad you interviewed the man in the shop; the needs of his wife are similar to mine. I've only seen a couple of your videos -- one with your dad, the Element and this one. Getting the perspective of a smaller person who can't lift as much is something I appreciate.
The frame is almost an exact copy of the Biria easy boarding bike that has been around for a long time.
I've had my boomerang for about 9 months, and I learned so much from your video. Like the USB port - who knew? I didn't!!
Terrific review. Thanks for all the detailed info.
Your reviews are realy thorough. It's everything you need to know to decide if you should by the bike.
I My wife as a I have the Boomerang and we love it. The price was worth every dime! We've had ours for 5 years now and they run as good as brand new! We both are slightly over the 250lb recommended limit but they run excellent! Made many 20 mile runs with plenty of battery left. We LOVE our Pedego Boomerang bikes!
I ordered a boomerang platinum in person at my local pedego store. The employee said I should be fine at 260-265lbs (my current weight) even though their website seems to suggest 250lbs is the weight capacity for riders. They gave me a V1 element as a loaner until my boomerang platinum which is quite older and it seems to handle my weight just fine. Can't wait to receive my boomerang platinum!
My wife can get on most any step thru Pedego, but she prefer’s the spacious feeling the Boomerang provides😀
OK Court, time to 'fess up - who do you think really walks their bike backwards without putting up the kickstand? I know "pedal lock" has been one of your pet peeves for years, but I have a hard time trying to figure out why anyone would walk their bike backwards without first putting up the stand.
Probably the same people who burn themselves with coffee, then turn around and sue McDonalds. There is no shortage of morons.
sometimes a person forgets too' and the bike is too heavy for an easy fix once locked.
Funny looking design, purposely built for those that can't lift their feet very high. However, that battery location is a problem. It's way to far to the rear. It should have been located vertically, between the rear tire and the seat post, or the front downtube. I had an ebike with a rear battery like that and immediately took it back and exchanged it for an ebike with front mounted battery. Seems expensive for what you get, comparing to the Aventon Level ST.
I was considering this bike. Can you share why it is a bad idea to have the battery in the back so I can make an informed decision.?
@@TuscanyFill катаюсь 3 года , всё хорошо и удобно.
So the 24” Platinum also comes with front shocks I see. That’s a big deal for me.
I have a Sun Streamway 7
Extreme low step thru just like the Boomerang
Easy on easy off but it's not an ebike
In the future I see myself purchasing an ebike.
Have a wonderful day!
Just ordered my boomerang. Was a runner and want to be one again:) This is my first step!
With all the weight on the rear how is the balance of the bike.🇨🇦😎🚲
Is there a tricycle that pettico sells ?
I asked in a previous video about adjusting the motor to get more speed out of it. Do you know if that is possible? And do you think 20mph is good for this bike?
There may be some hills on my ride.
@@starrybear9778 Thank you for the info. I would be interested in the 26" one.
Did test ride several Pedego models.
The 26" seemed tight. And the dealer didn't have any 28". Will need to re test with the 28".
How much over the 20mph can you go?
@@277kne you can alter the settings and bypass it but it voids the warranty so be careful
Yeah it sounds like this thing is priced for the service aspect for folks that don't like dirty hands. I have to say though that that frame with the mag wheels is pretty darn hot in a modern retro kind of way.
Please review the new platinum interceptor and the new regular interceptor. All of their bikes the high-end ones at least now come with a 52 V 749 W system. The Platinum one come with a torque sensor.
Would you ride the Boomerang out west? In my mind the Element would be better suited for “mountain” biking. But, the Boomerang is so much nicer.
This is my question as well!
Does the store sell spare batteries?
I was hoping you’d show how the handle adjusts.
Dring Dring! Boomer Rang! We might have an ebike fit just for him!
I wish Pedego would find a fix for the PAS not engaging and dead throttle issue. Customer service and now Tech Support claim they have been working hard to resolve this problem but its been over 7 months and still just promises of a fix.
This thing is like a 6 yr design and it's now out of stock, that is crazy!
Any chance we can expect a Lectric 2.0 review? Seems similar to this (minus the brakes) with some extra features (included fenders, foldable) at a much much much better price.
Perhaps unpopular opinion but I wouldn't agree with the "for people with less mobility" argument tho, maybe an e-bike is not a good idea if are coping with less mobility? Maybe a tricycle or other ride is more appropriate then? And I think the one they had in Spain didn't have a throttle? [to my knowledge it's not called bike if it has. (in E.U.)]
Must be some gold-plated service to defend the price.
Review Sondors Madmods.
I like the frame design, but not the price.
Price is what you pay, value is what you get. -Warren Buffet
Really? $3K for this. I say no more than $499.00.
Get Pedego and any other model together and Pedego will destroy it especially with distance I work at a bike store and trust me pedego shines among other e bikes company’s and people say the price is expensive I have people come in the store spending 10-15k on 1 e-bike
ALL that weight over the back tire - - - nah. - - - Oh have You seen the price for this so so bike ??? $$$$$$ - - nah - - - >>
A car salesman started Pedego need i say more
As expensive as a good used car?
Or a used motorcycle.
should of named it the pedego boomerobbed!
😂😂💀
A majority of the price point comes from the battery. Pedego has the best battery’s on the market and comparing them to any other company is kind of embarrassing.
@@itsgalahad8224 The absolute best they offer, is a 48v 17ah. Explain how this is class leading.
@@Charlesbjtown u mean 52v 17.5 AH u don’t don’t even know what your talking about
@@itsgalahad8224 Man whatever, believe what you want. Probably mad because you got robbed.
Why nice e bikes in usa ,here(india ) we are not even getting proper bicycle with nice design
It's too noisy when you pedal.
Incredibly overpriced. So much more competition out there with better specs and better designs. I can't see why anyone would pay 3K plus for this.
Was this a paid review?
With pedego a majority of the price point comes from the battery it will outride any bike you throw at it. They have the highest quality battery’s on the market so its worth it if u like to ride. The most important part of these bikes are the people riding them and that’s what I love about the company.
Pedego is ridiculously overpriced for what u get.
He forgot to mention that pedigo is MASSIVELY overpriced.
Again, ‘price is what you pay, value is what you get’ Warren Buffet
@@JamesLorentzen I don't subscribe to Warren buffet. Like I said, pedigo is VERY overpriced for what you get.
For someone who has mis-spelled the company name (twice), I don’t believe you know this brand very well.
@@JamesLorentzen pedigo...pedEgo.... whatever. How much do you need to know about the brand?? A simple look at the specs of their offerings, compared to the price is all I need to know. Maybe you need more, not sure. But it's really not all that complicated..... at least to me.
It’s not about the specs & bike. Walk into any Pedego store and you’ll understand. The most important part of this experience is the rider. See the comments from people who own them.
