Ride side-by-side on a Pedego tandem electric bike from Pedego Electric Bikes Dunedin, tracing paths through Dunedin, onto the linear Pinellas Trail and out toward Clearwater. The tandem’s throttle-only design and an impressive up-to-40-mile battery range make it possible to cover extended distances together, while rentals come with a helmet and lock for basic safety and security.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE RANGE

Up to 40 Miles on a Single Charge

The Pedego tandem offers a remarkable battery range that lets pairs ride well beyond a short loop — enough to string together coast-facing road sections and long stretches of the Pinellas Trail without constant recharging.

THE RIDE

Throttle-Only Simplicity

This tandem operates on throttle only, removing the need for coordinated pedaling and letting partners focus on the road and the scenery rather than cadence and gearing.

BASIC KIT

Helmet and Lock Included

Rentals include an ASTM-standard helmet and a lock, so you and your riding partner have the essential protection and security for stops along the trail and in town.

What the day feels like

What the Ride Feels Like

This is a cooperative, low‑strain outing: two people share a single electric drive, cruising with throttle power rather than pedal assist, making sustained miles feel effortless while you take in shoreline views, parklands and small-town streets between Dunedin and Clearwater.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this tandem works best for — and who should think twice.

1
Adult CouplesIdeal for pairs where at least one rider is 18 and the other meets the minimum 13‑year age threshold; the tandem design favors two people sharing a single bike.
2
Adult + TeenWell suited to an adult riding with a teen (13+), allowing a shared experience without demanding pedaling effort from the younger rider.
3
Multi‑generation PairsPairs spanning generations can enjoy the ride together provided the age minimums are met — the throttle-only setup reduces physical strain on less powerful riders.
4
Families with Young ChildrenNot a match for families hoping to include children younger than 13, since the operator requires one rider to be at least 13 years old.
