• Pedal-assist up to ~20mph

Yes! Mount Rainier National Park allows Class 1 E-Bikes anywhere traditional bikes are permitted. Because our rentals are pedal-assist only (no throttle) and capped at 20mph, they meet the park’s requirements for E-Bike access.

That means you can explore places like Westside Road and other park-approved bike routes—just follow all posted signs and trail etiquette.

Battery and range tips:

• Use Adaptive Smart Mode for the most efficient power delivery
• Maintain a steady pedaling cadence around 60–80 RPM
• Shift gears as needed—don’t just rely on assist
• Lower assist levels when descending to save battery

Braking and shifting:

• Brake in pulses, not continuously, to avoid overheating
• Use the rear brake first, then ease onto the front
• Don’t shift under full load—ease off the pedals slightly when shifting

Trail etiquette:

• Use your bell when passing others
• Park on level ground and lock the bike to something solid
• Avoid leaning the bike on brake rotors (especially when using roadside racks)

E-Bike pickup and return must happen during our normal store hours.

• Plan to arrive at least 30 minutes before your reservation to get properly outfitted
• We offer delivery and drop-off for an additional fee
• Do not leave bikes outside the shop after hours—you may be charged a return fee at the discretion of our staff
