IMPACT OC

Negotiating change

Sometimes the hardest person to convince is yourself.  Learn how professional negotiator Perry Hubert convinced himself it was time for a change as he entered semi-retirement.  And started riding his way to health and happiness, logging in nearly 30,000 miles in just 30 months on his new Pedego Electric Bike. And losing 90 pounds along the way.  Riding from his base in Colorado thru all sorts of weather including heat, heavy rain and some "polar bear rides" (as he called them).  All that and more on this week's PEDEGO PODCAST and our ongoing "ebike adventures". Here on OC TALK RADIO, Orange County's only community radio station.

Ride Along on ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO

This week we're happy to showcase another passionate Pedego owner.  An appeals attorney named Duane Daiker out of Tampa, Florida who found his ebike so appealing that he started his own podcast to chronicle his own journeys and experiences called ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO. 

Taking us thru his own evolution from regular bike rider to ebike enthusiast, as he found a way to get his wife back on the road after she suffered a serious heart attack at 50.  Giving her the confidence and capability to ride again. And opening up a whole new world of adventure (for both of them) like their recent trip through the National Parks of Utah. Going farther than they once thought possible. And telling the world all about it. On ELECTRIC BIKE RADIO and this week's PEDEGO PODCAST.

Running 2 Businesses at Once

Who says you can't successfully run two businesses at once? Not today's guest, Jordan Clark.  A hard charging corporate executive who found himself out on the road (as always). But stranded in his hotel down by the beach with an afternoon to kill. 

He spots a Pedego Electric Bike in his hotel lobby and on a whim decides to rent one and try riding a bit (not easy with his then 330 pound frame). And eureka!  He gets his own eBike epiphany and decides to buy a few for fun. Only to end up buying the whole store in Summerlin, NV and two more in Henderson and Lake Las Vegas. After dropping 80 pounds along the way from his new found passion for riding.

All while continuing to run his own corporate meeting business from his base in Las Vegas. 

Showing once again what can happen when people simply say "Hello Fun" and start pedaling along on a Pedego. And follow the path driving more and more entrepreneurs and enthusiasts to the eBike Revolution.
