Wonderful E-bike ride experience - Had an amazing time on our e-bike ride. We did a lot of hiking the first two days of our visit and wrapped it up with a bike ride around Eagle Lake and Jordan Pond. What a relaxing way to experience the carriage roads. Maine State Kayak and E-bike rates were very reasonable.

Book it! You won’t regret it!! - Seriously…book this company! Just like you, I was worried about the fat tires making it harder to bike the trails. We flew past so many people and it was so much safer having the wider tires. The communication from the company is outstanding. Extremely kind and helpful

Best activity in Acadia!!! - Prior to the day of our ride, Maria gave me great info about the bike and assured me I could ride it even though I am 4'11". On the day of the ride, Iz gave me a private lesson on controlling the bike. Then our private guide, Ian, led us thru Acadia and our ride was fabulous. He was great!! The leaves were beautiful. This was the best part of my trip!

Great Carriage Path E-Bike Riding - Maine State was so organized and provided great equipment for our e-bike rental. Instructions were clear. Staff was so nice. The carriage trails were awesome - zero cars allowed, perfectly safe. The only thing that was little hard to get the handle of was that initially, the fat tire e-bikes take a little getting used to. When leaving bike shop at the start of the trip, there is a little bit of traffic, so get used to your bike in the parking lot. When you leave the shop and head to the park, you go uphill and need to give it some juice to climb. Overall, such a great experience. I am so glad we did this. Thank you!

Great Location, Super Friendly Staff, Nice Bikes and Acadia National Park!!! - Awesome experience riding the RAD fat tire e-bikes through Acadia! Great location, super friendly staff that answered all of our questions with a friendly positive attitude. Bikes were easy to use and we rarely used the pedal assist on 4 or 5 even on the steepest hills on the carriage roads. Wife and I wanted another hour or two to explore some other paths but we had other stuff to do in Acadia that day. Highly recommend this company!!!

Great business to rent from. - We rented bikes in town and took them to Acadia Park from there. The route to Acadia was very well defined from the business to Acadia park and rode along the carriage path. The staff was very inviting and showed a few videos of how to ride the bikes and how to navigate the signs through the park. Saved us a lot of money renting from them versus inside the park. I would highly recommend them!

Perfect way to see Acadia Park. - Excellent way to see Acadia park! We had a blast with the e-bikes…you can put as much or little effort into the ride as you want, and cover a lot of ground quickly if needed. Love the extra handling with the bigger tires. Highly recommend this experience.

Excellent staff. Excellent experience - My husband and I loved riding e-bikes on the carriage roads. It was a great way to see more of the park. Rent from Maine State! The staff was friendly, helpful and easy going. They loan backpacks if you don’t have one in addition to renting helmets. 4 hours was the perfect amount of time. Highly recommend!
