The mileage range for ebikes varies according to the route taken, the pedaling effort applied and the rider's weight. As part of your lesson, you will be shown how to manage and monitor range.

Wonderful self-guided tour through Acadia National park. We loved the freedom to be able to stop whenever we wished. The beauty and Majesty of the park speak for themselves. We passed several people on regular bikes who seem to look with Envy at our e-bikes. The e-bikes were certainly a great convenience for this trip, allowing one to fully enjoy the experience. Yet there was enough opportunity for exercise as well. We lucked out in both ways.

This was an overall great experience. We were given great information and direction from the guide before going out on our own. I would recommend choosing the unguided route to go at your own pace. The e bikes were top notch and we rode for over 4 hours no problem. Great way to see as much as the park as possible in one day. We added the drive to Cadillac Mountain after our bike excursion.
