2. If you finish your ride early, please use the bike lock provided to secure the e-bikes in the approved location we show you as part of your lesson.
3. 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. Most riders get between 30 and 50 miles.
4. You are allowed to ride the ebike anywhere in Acadia National Park or in the Bar Harbor area as long as a pedal bike is allowed in the area. Bicycle use is prohibited on hiking trails.
