A beautiful way to see Acadia. I would highly recommend it. The pedal assist bikes are truly easy to get the hang of - you will definitely still get exercise but it will be a lot easier getting around. Just be careful of the charge running out - it depends on the weight of the person and the distance you go. It is enough to do a full loop of the park. If you are good with a map, you don't need a guide. The carriage roads are so fun.

Thanks so much for the strong recommendation. Thousands of our customers choose the self-guided tour and enjoy it immensely, but for future readers I do want to point out that our guided tours offer more than direction. Our guides have years of experience in Acadia and speak to the park's history, geology, flora, fauna and architecture in a way that guided tour customers appreciate. Regardless of whether a guide is chosen, we can't agree more with your take: The carriage roads are so fun. Thanks again for choosing us and writing the review!

For our first ebike rental, we were very happy with the experience and with Island Time. We were given good instruction and a very detailed map of the park and Carriage Roads. The bikes were comfortable with padded seats and very easy to operate. They came with cell phone holder and a large pannier bag on the back which was so handy to store our water, snacks and jacket. I highly recommend Island Time to anyone looking to rent an ebike in Bar Harbor.

Being able to see Acadia National Park in a different way. It was stunning and quite beautiful. The paths were in great shape.
