Press Release Body: MINOT, North Dakota - September 5, 2008 – ElectraPed LLC today announced that the company will unveil its Wentz Family of E-Bikes to a national audience at the Interbike Expo in Las Vegas, which runs September 23rd through the 26th.

The Interbike Expo, which draws thousands of bike retailers from throughout the world, will be held at the Sands Expo Center. There are nine different models in the Wentz Family of E-Bikes, including e-bikes in the mountain, street, touring, three-wheeler and foldable categories. The foldable version fits easily into a car trunk, and the three-wheeler has proven to be especially popular with seniors. Several models feature a European step-through style, and all of the Wentz E-Bikes offer a smooth ride, silent motor operation, and an impressive range.

Duane Brekke, founder of ElectraPed, says he is particularly proud of the craftsmanship of the bikes; “The engineering of the Wentz is masterful—solid as a rock, and elegant in design. People are sold after a short test drive.”

The Wentz E-Bikes have a hub motor to assist pedaling—allowing riders to go farther, faster, and up hills with greater ease. Bike riders can also choose to let the motor do all of the work or turn off the motor and use the Wentz like a regular bicycle.
