The 2024 e-bike contest at HaveFunBiking has a winner

Congratulations to Liz Wilkinson, our E-bike contest winner from St. Paul, MN!

We are happy to announce that Liz’s e-mail was drawn from our pool of e-database contestants. We enjoyed meeting her at Pedego in Mendota Heights and giving her the keys to the new Avenue E-bike from our 2024 Bike/Hike Guide campaign. Seeing her enthusiasm and plans for using the bike was refreshing. Liz is excited about having her new electric-assist e-bike to commute to work. Her route will be easier with the many hilly streets and trails along the Mississippi River bluffs. Thanks to everyone who registered to win. Stay tuned for another e-bike contest in 2025,

About the e-bike contest bicycle.

The Pedego Avenue is a beautifully designed electric bike, perfect for urban riding or commuting. Its step-thru frame makes it easy to mount and dismount. Add the powerful 500 48V 14ah power system with a fully integrated battery, and you have a fun mode of transportation. It is excellent for climbing those hills and makes most commutes sweat-free.
