Tour Route: A Scenic Ride Through the Past and Present

The Coastal Classic Historical E-Bike Tour starts at our shop in Kennebunk's Lower Village, crosses the Kennebunk River into the touristic hub of Dock Square, and winds through the Kennebunkport Historic District, where 19th-century sea captains and shipping magnates oversaw vast economic empires from stately mansions.

Next, you'll head towards the ocean for a ride along the most beautiful stretch of coastal road in Southern Maine, stopping along the way to view the sweeping summer compound of two American presidents.

The tour then heads for Cape Porpoise, a charming seaside village and home to a nearly 200 year-old lighthouse. Here, in a deep harbor ringed with wild islands, Maine fishermen and lobstermen have plied their trades for more than three centuries.

The Bikes: A Smooth Ride

From start to finish, this tour is pure, effortless fun aboard our well-maintained class 2 e-bikes. Hills are nothing to worry about. Four pedal assist options tailor the experience to your physical ability level, with an optional throttle for those moments when you would rather not pedal at all.

And if you've never ridden an e-bike before, no worries. If you can ride a regular bicycle, you'll be fine. Your patient and personable guide will demonstrate everything you need to know before the tour begins and will continue to check in on you throughout the experience.

Safety is our top priority. Your guide will teach you how to share the road safely with vehicle traffic and will make sure the entire group remains together throughout the tour. No rider left behind!
