I reserved my bike online last night and picked it up this morning for the day. The bike was great and the service was helpful and friendly. I hope to return to Bar Harbor and rent from here again. I loved riding the carriage roads and the ride to Acadia from the shop was not difficult. You just have to pay attention to the bike path signs to go the easiest way.

AMAZING time e-biking on the carriage road in Acadia National Park! Could the owner be any sweeter?! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and prompt. Keep in mind, the tandem bike is not as easy to catch on to, with children. After getting the hang of it though, we all had a great time. I highly recommend! Side note- the bikes have cute colors too!

An amazing day riding the carriage roads of Acadia!! It was our first time riding E-bikes but they were very easy to use after a quick lesson. Shop location close to entrance. Carriage roads give a different view of the park. Will definitely rent again!!

The bikes were not properly tuned and not kept in very good condition, but otherwise they were fine. Two of the four bikes I rented for my group kept derailing the chain into the spokes of the rear wheel, and I had to adjust the low limit derailleur screw during my ride to fix the situation. One bike had a bent chain guard that was rubbing from the beginning, and I had to bend it back into proper position to fix it. Otherwise the riding in Acadia with these bikes was very enjoyable. We experienced no battery or electric motor problems while riding, and this was good. Most of the bikes came with locks and front handlebar bags or saddle bags which was a great convenience. I would recommend their rental bikes, especially for those who are experienced bike mechanics.

We online rented 4 e-bikes about 1.5 wks ago for today 8/16/23, the only online option is to rent for entire day , you can do it in person for hrly rate but at peak times you may not get an e-bike. It didn't take long to set us up (about 20 min) - mapping street direction to Acadia carriage trials , going over the bike operating instructions, adjusting the fitting. We had never ridden an e-bike but it was easy to get the feel and handling of the bikes as we rode toward the carriage trials. This was perfect for us as the e-bikes allowed us to do our sightseeing and photography without fatigue- it was sunny and 70-80 in the sun. The bikes come with lock and tools to do adjustments if needed(ie seat height - we didn't need any as bikes are in great shape). However not all bikes have water bottle holder but you can place a knapsack etc on back of bike - secured by bungee cord- supplied by shop. Overall we had a great experience- about 5.5 hrs rental time including a stop for lunch at Jordan Pond House(20 min wait without reservation) . The bike battery was still about 70 percent full at the end. Again the store representatives Mallory and Sara were great. Would definitely rent from them again on our next visit!

One of the best things to do in Acadia. We had never ridden E-Bikes before and these did not disappoint. We rode all through the carriage trails and boy did it help going up the mountains. This was by far the best experience we had.

Great experience! The best way for a group of all abilities to see Acadia with the option to get a good workout or not break a sweat. Covered about 25 miles of the park in a couple of hours and could to the park right from Pedego without having to load the bikes. We had plenty of battery charge remaining if we had time to do more. The staff members were great and made sure we had a map, made suggestions and gave explanation of how to operate the bikes. I would highly recommend this event and service, you won’t regret it!

My husband and I spent a week up in Bar Harbor and rented bikes from the Bar Harbor Pedego store for two of those days. My husband is an avid road cyclist and rides thousands of miles each year so he's hard to impress when it comes to bike stores.But we were both blown away by the level of knowledge and service we received. This is a family owned business and they are one incredible family. We were greeted by Phoebe behind the counter who is only 14 years old but don't let that fool you. Her level of maturity and knowledge about the bikes was well beyond her years. She even went over all the trails up in Acadia National Park with us and told us all about the best place to have lunch up there.Then on the next day, we were greeted by Mallory who is Phoebe's 17 year-old sister. We also had another great conversation with her as she made sure our bikes were ready to go. This family has four daughters and everyone of them work at the store including their 7 year old who sells water and other snack items to customers.We loved this story and hope to see them again next summer when we come back to Acadia National Park.We would highly recommend making a reservation and renting early because they are a busy store in a great location and the bikes go quickly.

This is the absolutely BEST way to see Acadia! My wife and I did 30 miles around the carriage trails without breaking a sweat! We would never have been able to do that on regular bikes. We had never done e-bikes before and it couldn’t have been easier. I would definitely recommend!!!

I highly recommend Pedego Bikes in Bar Harbor. The staff was friendly and helpful. They made sure we had a good biking plan and that we knew how to operate the bikes. It is a great way to explore Acadia with a group of varying bike abilities. Thank you for a fantastic day!

My family had a great experience with Pedego Electric Bikes. The staff was incredibly helpful and friendly. They provided great service including recommendations on where to ride and made sure we knew how to operate the bikes. We had a great day exploring Acadia with the e-bikes. I would highly recommend this outfit to anyone looking to get the most out of a day in Acadia with varying biking levels.
