New Pedego Holdings Launches Two Groundbreaking Pedego 2.0 Models: RIDGE RIDER 2 AND LATCH 2 REDEFINING PREMIUM E-BIKE VALUE
First two models in the Pedego 2.0 lineup deliver full-size power, UL certification, and an unprecedented 5-year limited warranty - at price points the market has never seen from Pedego
IRVINE, CA, July 18, 2026 - New Pedego Holdings today announced the simultaneous launch of two landmark products: the Pedego Ridge Rider 2 ($2,195 MSRP / $1,999 introductory launch price through August 16) and the Pedego Latch 2 ($1,695 MSRP) - the first two models in the brand's Pedego 2.0 product series. Both bikes are the direct result of New Pedego Holdings' purpose-built new supply chain, engineered to deliver exceptional quality at prices that give Pedego's dealer network a formidable competitive edge.
New Pedego Holdings acquired Pedego Electric Bikes in late October 2025. Today's dual launch signals the company's arrival at scale, with more Pedego 2.0 models expected before year-end.
“The Ridge Rider 2 and Latch 2 are just the opening act. With four more Pedego 2.0 models launching before the end of this year, we are fundamentally redefining what riders and dealers should expect from a premium electric bike - exceptional quality, serious performance, and prices that make sense. This is the new Pedego.”
- Larry Pizzi, CEO, New Pedego Holdings
A New Supply Chain. A New Standard of Value.
Both the Ridge Rider 2 and Latch 2 share the same core drivetrain platform: a 750W motor with 90Nm of torque, the proprietary PedalSense® controller with Sinewave Field Oriented Control, and a 48V 17.4Ah / 835Wh LG-cell battery pack certified to UL2271 - the same motor architecture as Pedego's higher-priced models. The result is a pair of e-bikes that deliver measurably more performance per dollar than anything previously in the Pedego lineup.
Both models carry UL2849 electrical system certification, CPSC 16 CFR 1512 compliance, and Pedego's unprecedented 5-year limited warranty - the most comprehensive coverage Pedego has ever offered, and a compelling differentiator on the dealer floor.
