    Meeting and Pickup

    Meeting point

    • 25 Visitor Center Rd, Bar Harbor, ME 04609, USA

      We will meet you in the parking lot at the visitor center and you can hop on an ebike with direct access to the carriage roads. We will meet you back at the starting point when you are finished. If you finish before the full rental period then there is a bike rack to lock your ebikes up.

    End point

    This activity ends back at the meeting point.

    What To Expect

    Acadia National Park is yours to explore at your own pace, speed, and preference from the moment you arrive at the Hull’s Cove visitor center. Connect directly to the carriage roads when you pick up your ebike.

    Your rental includes a few conveniences and necessities: a helmet for safety, basket for your belongings, bike lock for secure stops, and a cell phone holder so you can photograph wildlife before they sneak away.

    A lesson is also included before you speed off, but feel free to also ask questions about what you should see or which routes you should take. Park Loop Road is a popular destination, and with between 30 and 50 miles of power, you can explore this coastal landscape in full before returning to the visitor center.

    A beautiful way to see Acadia
    Sujata_P, Nov 2024
    A beautiful way to see Acadia. I would highly recommend it. The pedal assist bikes are truly easy to get the hang of - you will definitely still get exercise but it will be a lot easier getting around. Just be careful of the charge running out - it depends on the weight of the person and the distance you go. It is enough to do a full loop of the park. If you are good with a map, you don't need a guide. The carriage roads are so fun.
    Extremely Happy

    Fantastic family activity with an amazing company.
    Karinn_J, Oct 2024
    Bikes were easy to understand and ride. It was our first time and we rode 30 miles through Arcadia National Park with no issues. Self guided was the way to go, Ride as much as we wanted stop and take pictures we wanted too. Was able to ride at our own pace. We seen 3/4 of the park using the carriage roads. They were wide and stable pathways for riding. October was beautiful with the fall colors and perfect weather!!

    Bike adventure in Acadia
    Shelly_E, Sep 2024
    Really appreciated the bike instructors directions to ride the park in reverse & to take a longer route. It was absolutely perfect - encountering very few other bikers along our route. The first 14.5 miles took 2.5-3 hours - stopping many times along the way to enjoy the view. The last 10 miles took another hour, with an hour stop for lunch at Jordan Pond House. Highly recommend the electric bikes - we would have NEVER made it without them, and it provides the opportunity to unique views throughout the ride.

    Wicked happy to have your sharing and review. Island Time e-bike rentals appreciates you. Have a lovely weekend.
    E-bike Acadia ride
    Margaret_R, Sep 2024
    What a wonderful way to see and explore Acadia National Park. Self paced, good comfortable bikes with saddle bags. We ate lunch at Jordan Pond grab and go. Rode by wildwood stables and enjoyed the trails without having to dread any hills. The e-bike assist helped so much.

    Eagle Lake Carriage Road
    Donna_B, Sep 2024
    The Eagle Lake trail was absolutely gorgeous & we had a picture perfect clear blue sky day to enjoy on our e-bike ride! Stopping at Jordon Pond was a great way to take a break from riding. Every hill and turn had a spectacular view to admire & stop to take a selfie! Highly recommend

    I did not ride after trying in the parking lot. The bar going across the middle was a challenge for me!
    Easy fun experience

    Easy to ride and such fun exploring the carriage roads all on your own. Instructors gave excellent tips and shared suggested routes. Peddle assisted bikes made getting around fast and easy. A truly relaxing yet exciting experience.

    Best Part of My Trip🚵!
    DANIELGUZMAN, Sep 2024
    This was the favorite part of my trip to Maine! Going through the carriage roads on e-bikes was definitely the way to go in order to have a unique experience through Acadia National Park 🏞️! We started bicycling around 9:30am and finished by 1.30pm. There is no end in sight to the picturesque landscape and views you will encounter during this bike ride. Plenty of bridges and woods throughout. Even more magnificent was the lack of noise and the stillness that you are engulfed in. The bikes are super easy to handle even if you are a first timer in an e-bike. The company does a great quick tutorial. Please don’t miss out on this incredible experience if you have the chance to!

    Had a great time. The bikes were easier to use than I anticipated. Instruction was good. The guys were very patient with our group due to late ship disembarking. The map was helpful. Would do this again!

    Tara_B, Aug 2024
    What a great way to see Acadia! The carriage roads are not busy and you can go at your own pace. Our first time on e-bikes and they are super fun. It was a warm day but the shade of the trees really kept you cool. No traffic or crowds at all. Do it!

    Loved It!!
    Stephanie_M, Aug 2024
    This was such a fantastic way to spend the day! Island Time met us at the entrance to the Carriage Road with our bikes, and was right there at the end of our day to take them back. The e-bike made the 25 mile ride so easy and fun for each of the four of us. This was a seemless excursion from beginning to end. Thank you, Island Time!!
