Maximum Fun, MinImal effort! Tour Kennebunkport in Comfort!

You’re on vacation, so why work harder than you need to? Thanks to our top-of-the-line electric bikes, the Kennebunkport area’s breathtaking seascapes, historical landmarks, and backroad treasures are accessible without breaking a sweat — or sacrificing the simple pleasure of pedaling.

(If you can ride a regular bicycle, you can ride an e-bike! Check out the FAQ below for more information on riding an e-bike.)

Our 10-mile Coastal Maine E-Bike Tour hits everything you must see when you visit the Kennebunks:

• A historic shipbuilder’s home
• Breathtaking scenery: rocky coastal crags and long sandy beaches
• A stunning seaside stone chapel
• The summer home of the Bush political dynasty
• A charming fishing port ringed by wild islands
• One of the last lighthouses in Maine to be automated
• Plus a few lesser-known surprises!

All our guides are locals, with deep knowledge of the region’s history and culture and a gift for storytelling. We love talking about our area and we will be happy to answer any questions you might have along the way.

You can expect your e-bike tour to be entertaining, informative, and most of all, fun!

An easy, breezy scenic tour for adults, older teens, couples, friends, and active seniors!

Yes, it is, and we share the road with traffic. It is simply impossible to plot an off-road bicycle tour along this section of the Maine coast; the roads are too old and narrow for dedicated bike lanes. However, Kennebunk and Kennebunkport are known as bike-friendly communities. Summer traffic moves slowly and drivers watch out for cyclists and pedestrians. Furthermore, our guides are all experienced riders, trained to provide careful instruction and observation to keep you and your group-members safe along the route. Coastal Maine Hike and Bike has a spotless safety record. Please call if you have any concerns (207-967-6065).

Sure, but on our e-bikes, you won’t notice them.

No! If you can ride a conventional pedal bicycle, you can ride an e-bike. You pedal, brake, and shift gears as you would on any other bike, and our guides will demonstrate how to operate the rest. You will not leave our shop without being confident on your e-bike.

We’d be happy to explain the technical details, but in essence, all an e-bike does is magnify your pedaling effort with an electric motor. The harder you pedal, the more help you get, meaning, if you’re trying to get up a hill or reach a faster speed, the bike will detect your effort and compensate accordingly. The sensation is as if you have super powers. Pedaling up a hill feels as easy as pedaling a conventional bike along flat ground.

Yes! Again, if you can ride a regular bike, you are 90 percent of the way there. Our guide will get you the rest of the way.

On our class 2 e-bikes, that’s an option. Our bikes are all equipped with thumb-operated throttles which allow you to activate the electric motor without pedaling — if you wish.

Also an option! The great thing about e-bikes is you can work as much or as little as you want. This allows groups of mixed ability to cycle together.

Our class 2 e-bikes can reach a maximum speed of 20 miles-per-hour. However, we will not go that fast for most of the tour. After all, it is a tour, and at those speeds, you would miss too much. Our tours move at an appropriate pace for sightseeing and for keeping the group together.

If you are looking for a go-fast e-bike experience, we recommend checking out our e-bike rental selection.

No. You will share the tour with other groups. We take out up to 10 participants at a time.
