Coastal Maine Scenic E-Bike Adventure

Long sandy beaches, rocky coastal crags, sprawling seaside mansions, classic New England countryside, stunning historical architecture -- this tour has it all, and then some! The Coastal Maine E-Bike Adventure is for intrepid spirits who want to go the distance and see it all.

Along this 15- to 17-mile loop you'll venture a little bit farther afield than most while still visiting the must-see highlights of the Kennebunks. And don't worry; this isn't a whirlwind tour. Your guide will make sure to allow plenty of time to stop, learn about local history, dip your toes in the ocean (if you want), and take pictures.

The Grand Tour

Your adventure starts at our shop in Kennebunk's Lower Village and heads across the river to the touristic hub of Dock Square. From there you'll cycle through the Kennebunkport Historic District before turning toward the ocean for a ride alongside some of the most gorgeous coastline in Southern Maine.

After stopping to visit a magnificent historical church and the storied Bush family compound (summer home of two presidents), your guide will lead you out of the hustle and congestion of Kennebunkport and into the peaceful surrounding area where (among other things) you'll visit a working fishing pier, view a nearly 200 year-old lighthouse, and marvel at miles of open beach. The return trip will take you through sun-dappled forests and bucolic farmland.

The Bikes: Made to Move

This is a true e-bike adventure, traversing a variety of environments with lots of opportunities to cruise and enjoy the ride. Our well-maintained class 2 e-bikes make it possible without working up too much of a sweat. 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 speed is your thing, your guide will give you the chance to open up the bike and see what "turbo mode" can really do.)

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 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 everyone is together and heading in the right direction. No rider left behind!
