No not pedicure, Pedego! Just opening on the proposed hotel property at 104 East Main St. in Franklin, Pedego provides electric bicycles for purchase or rent. We stopped in and got the low down from Kem Harris as she was busy setting up the store and unpacking bikes.

WS: What is a Pedego?
PEDEGO: A Pedego is a world class electric bike that can go 20 m.p.h. Pedegos are sold in 40 countries and currently comes in six different models and a wide variety of fun colors. A Pedego electric bike is just like a regular bike, complete with seven gears, but has one stellar upgrade: with the turn of a throttle, the bike will spring to full electric life with no need to pedal! For those who like to pedal or prefer a more natural riding experience, five levels of pedal assist can be an option. When riding a Pedego, you can pedal or not. It is up to you. Pedego electric bikes are completely green and are so fun to ride it can be addictive. Pedego electric bikes are used for transportation, recreation, and health and fitness.
It is no secret that a Pedego electric bike can transform a person’s life for whatever reason. Kem Harris, Franklin Pedego.
