Posted on Jan NVerified Best rental shop in town... Rented eBikes from this in town location for a day trip on the Acadia carriage roads. A smaller business shop nestled on Main Street in Bar Harbor well worth the visit. Staff was awesome very helpful totally stress free experience along with best prices found in the area. Get there early for reservation parking is limited in town other than that highly recommended establishment..!!Posted on SeaSpankerVerified E-bike rentals for Acadia Rented 2 class I e-bikes for 4 hours and self-toured the “tri-lakes” of Acadia. Online reservations were easy. The guys at the shop were very chill. They even extended our time by 30 min because instructions, directions and signing waivers for a small group cut into our 4 hr reserved time. Bikes were in great shape and battery was powerful and long lasting. Very happy with our experience.Posted on hixter57Verified E-bike Rental Heroes We attempted to rent some e-bikes for Acadia National Park, but everyplace was sold out. Then a Google search brought up Acadia SUP and I was ecstatic to find they had two available. They showed us how to use their e-assist bikes and off we went for a FABULOUS ride on the park’s Carriage Road system of trails. Definitely recommend these guys!Posted on Diana PVerified Great first time e-bike experience This was our first time trying E-Bikes and boy was it a blast. Chris and his team were professional and friendly. We were giving instructions on how to use the bike and all our questions were answered. We didn’t feel rushed throughout the whole process. Bike riding the Carriage Roads couldn’t have been more fun. Wonderful experience and I highly recommend this adventure shopPosted on Donna HVerified Fun in Acadia! Renting e-bikes here was such a smart move! We leisurely arrived, were fitted with helmets and given ample instructions. It was not difficult to ride up to the park entrance from Main Street. The bikes performed beautifully during our day-long excursion. Other people often stopped to view our e-bikes, noting the quality. We were able to navigate the many carriage trails in the park with ease.Posted on KC10DaveVerified Excellent E-Bike Rentals! We rented E-bikes for the full day. Well worth it and great bikes! Excellent staff and service. When we return, will definitely rent again from Arcadia SUP and E-Bikes. Highly recommend!Posted on Donna BVerified Gold Medal E-Bike Rentals This is the consumer focused, polite, professional, and exceptionally cool place to rent your E-Bikes from for a ride to Acadia National Park.They were helpful answering questions, safety oriented, and super informative about the bikes and best practices for a memorable trip. Just Do It!! *not a natural biker -but loved every, last minute of it Thanks guys.Posted on DJReed79Verified Great place to get SUPs! Great experience! They strapped 3 SUPs to our van and away we went. Good directions to spots on Echo and Long. REALLY appreciated the wetsuits on our less-than-ideal-weather day. Would definitely recommend!Posted on Tanya PVerified Paddle boarding Lee was an amazing paddle board guide. My husband and I had fantastic time. It was very relaxing and informative. Thank you Lee for a wonderful afternoonPosted on Brian ZVerified Awesomeness at Long Pond Last year, we did SUP for the first time at Echo Lake. Mike joined us with another guide and had my daughter doing hand stands and yoga poses! My daughter and I had another private paddle with Mike! Loved it! He is the best.
