Calling all nature lovers and art aficionados, the Joy Ride E-Bike Tour combines the natural beauty of spruce forests meeting the Atlantic Ocean’s rocky coastline with the art inspired by it. Our first stop will be Villard Studios where Kim and Philippe Villard's woodblock prints brought the beauty of the Boothbay Peninsula into the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA), NY. We’ll ride through quaint neighborhoods along the Linekin Bay coastline, along an old Indian trail skirting a hidden pond, and enjoy stunning views of Boothbay Harbor’s working waterfront. A feast for all five senses!

Will this be your first time riding an e-bike?
While no experience riding an electric bike is necessary, guests must be able to confidently ride a standard bike. If it has been a while since you’ve been on a bike, we highly recommend you practice, even just once, before your tour.
What To Expect
We'll visit Villard Studios, the last working studio of the 1901 Commonwealth Art Colony, for a studio tour and art demo by the artists, Kim and Philippe Villard.
A beautiful hidden pond tucked alongside an old Indian trail used for centuries by the Wawenock tribe.

5.00I enjoyed the ride very much. I felt very safe and well taken care of. The area we biked through was beautiful. My husband thought it would have been helpful to have headsets so that our leader could talk directly to us as we rode rather than just at designated stopping points.
Give E bikes a try!

5.00The business owners were very friendly and helpful and encouraging about learning to use the E bikes. During the ride they taught us about the sites that they were showing us and provided some pictures as well. She really seemed to understand the history of the area and was enthusiastic about sharing it with us. Everything was right on time.
Awesome!

5.00The joy ride e-bike tour of Boothbay Harbor was fantastic. The tour guides enhanced our visit by taking us to the Villardstudios to experience revived woodblock art. You can’t find more beautiful scenery than on the east side of the Bay. The hosts were very careful to ensure our safety on the bikes and we rode through local neighborhoods being regaled with some ghost stories and some history like JFK’s visit. Highly recommend.

5.00We toured the Maine coastline on a small ship cruise. Included is Booth Bay. Lots of touring, but if you want to see the local Boothbay and have an enjoyable afternoon our bike ride with Lisa and Roger try this out. Very fun and safe way to tour the area with their electric bikes.
Fun Boothbay Harbor e-bike tour!

5.00My sister, 64, and I, 61, did the bike tour with Lisa, the owner, and Kevin, the bike shop manager. We met them at the harbor and they drove us along with a few others to their shop where we were able to practice in their parking lot before we set out on the road. The bikes were already fitted for our heights but Kevin made adjustments to our seats and my handlebars to make sure we had a good fit. It took a little bit of practice to get used to how quickly the motor got you up to speed but they made sure everyone was comfortable using the ebike before we set out. Lisa was always in the lead and Kevin was the caboose to ensure we stayed together and were safe while riding along the roads. The majority of streets during this tour were quiet and beautiful neighborhoods. We had several stops along the way where Lisa took pics (which she sent us after the tour) and told interesting stories about the history of the locations. One locale was Villard Studios where we were given a whiteline woodblock print demo by a local artist. Overall the ride around town was a delight. Our guides were super knowledgeable and personable, and made sure we were safe AND enjoyed the experience. One thing to note: It’s important that you’ve ridden a regular bike in the past year before taking this tour otherwise you may struggle riding the ebike.

5.00E Bike tour was not only beautiful but very informative. Lisa & Roger were extremely friendly and made sure all riders were comfortable before hitting the road. Saw parts of the island we would never have seen on foot. Also, Lisa shared lots of historical information /facts on our stops along the way. I highly recommend!
Have wheels will travel.

5.00We had a great E-bike ride today. Really appreciated that we got to do a few test rides around the parking lot to get accustomed to the bikes. Loved the stop at the Art Gallery. Our tour guide took pictures for us at several of the stops. Then she sent them to us via text. She shared numerous stories about the area and some of the residents present and past. Safety was a huge concern for them. We had a great time on our tour.
