We rented 2 e-bikes to explore Acadia National Park. This shop was well organized ( make sure you get there early). We thoroughly enjoyed our 30 mile ride throughout the park following the route suggested by the bicycle shop. Most significantly when we experienced a mechanical problem with the bike en route the shop immediately responded to our call , brought another bike to our location and we were on our way . Great service , great attitude. Highly recommend

Awesome experience!! People were great. We went end of season when all the kids were back at school and these guys got a long line through in no time! And you know us tourists aren’t the fastest (or easiest). Special shout to the owner! Gave us a quick bonus tour of the town to help us finish out our visit! Highly recommend. Highly.

Excellent bike shop! Jay and the Boss took such good care of our group of 6. We dropped our pedals off the day before our ride and our road bikes were ready to go for us first thing in the morning. Lots of good energy, friendly banter and small details that made our ride around Acadia extra special!

We rented twice from BHBS on our vacation. We had a hybrid for the carriage ride and a road bike for Cadillac Mtn. Their service was exceptional and the guys were just awesome. They fitted our bikes and put the pedals on for our cleats. There were some other small details that just made our experience awesome. Thank you to all the guys at Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop! You guys rock!

Fantastic, friendly service!! We rented 2 e-bikes for a half day ride in Acadia National Park. We received an excellent recommendation for which trails to ride, including the loop on the point overlooking the harbor where we could see our cruise ship anchored.We thoroughly enjoyed our day!

The shop's location near Acadia National Park was convenient, making it easy to explore the beautiful surroundings. The e-bikes provided an excellent riding experience and were user-friendly. The person at the check-in desk was very helpful. He gave us a map, which he marked to show us riding options so we could confidently explore the area. The experience was marred by the unhelpful and unfriendly attitude of the staff member handling the bikes. He yelled at us and the others in line. We weren't informed about the battery life, which made us anxious about whether the charge would last throughout our ride. I recommend this store but be bold and ask questions even if the employee is gruff and uninterested in helping you; getting information is not just for convenience but also a safety consideration.

We were told they have e-bikes for walk-ins at their counter. We gave credit card information, signed rental agreements, picked up locks and helmets, then waited in line only then to be told by another worker they DO NOT have e-bikes for walk-ins. What a waster of time and a disorganized business.

We had a fantastic experience with their electric bikes for riding through the Acadia carriage roads. Great customer service and availability of electric bikes even for walk-ins, while other places did not have it without a 48 hour advanced registration.Charges were nominal and bikes were in good condition; since we returned within half a day, we were only charged for that.

Yo, sit down, let me tell you about Bar Harbor Bicycle shop. There’s a reason they’ve been in business forever, it’s because they’re unreal! Super nice, responsive, transparent, and knowledgeable. The whole staff. Ten thumbs up. 13 out of 10

The staff at this bike rental company was awesome! The young man that rented us e-bikes even mapped us out a route that gave us great views and 9 Rockefeller bridges. The route also took us away from the crowds a bit. The e-bikes were fantastic, and we covered 24 miles in 4 hours. I really loved that they had a half-day rate as well. It made it easy to decide to do the e-bikes. Great place! Great bikes! And riding the carriage trails was our favorite day in Acadia. It was even a foggy day, but we saw so much!

Easy no fuss rental, x4 pedal bikes, not electric motorcycles. Functional bikes with bolt upright position. Tires and brakes suitable for Acadia carriage trails, but could have used a few more PSI.

An E-Bike Rental. A National Park. The Carriage Roads just opened for the season. These were the makings of an amazing day. Turns out that exploring Acadia on the Carriage Roads on an E-Bike from Bar Harbor Bicycle Shop is the best way imaginable to experience this wonderful place. We took the advice of the very nice people at BHBS and toured the widest possible range of the Carriage Roads. The bikes were perfect. Having the "E" boost made the ride easy and so much fun. This was a wonderful experience. Thanks so much to the folks at Bar Harbor Bicycle!!
