    Any eBikers familiar with Acadia National Park

    Well I went ahead and booked that hampton inn. The price on priceline was 4 dollars cheaper than hilton.com, so i called and asked for a price match. They matched priceline, then took an ADDITIONAL 25% off the total cost of the reservation! What a steal! 7 nights in Bar Harbor at the Hampton for...

    Any eBikers familiar with Acadia National Park

    How crowded will bar harbor be, mid-week, during the third week of may? Will there be plenty of local traffic/cars on the road in the downtown area, or pretty much empty? I am wondering if I will be able to bike into and around the downtown area, for tasty lobster rolls and an evening stroll...

    Any eBikers familiar with Acadia National Park

    I was actually about to book that Hampton Inn. Looking at the map, it seems I would bike down a somewhat steep road - Norman Rd - and then turn right onto another somewhat steep road - Highbrook Rd - and then I could access the carriage road towards the end of that road, prior to when it...

    Any eBikers familiar with Acadia National Park

    Thanks - I was going to book a hotel now, with free cancellation, in case covid picks up again. You recommended the Hampton Inn in Bar Harbor, looking at the google map and the AcadiaBike Map, it seems to be a quick and easy bike ride from the Hampton Inn to the Acadia Inn, along minimally...

    Any eBikers familiar with Acadia National Park

    Thanks guys. Please forgive me for I have several follow-up questions. The week I was planning on going is the third week in May. Accuweather lists the historical average as mid 60s, which is warm enough for me to bike. What is your experience with the weather in the park at this time of year...

    Sounds good. Any recommendations for places to stay? It looks like the only hotels with availability in the area are the quality inn and the microtel inn/suites in manfield. Do you know if either of these are clean places that you would recommend?

    I was thinking of doing the pine creek gorge this week as well. Coming from Philadelphia area, I was thinking of staying in Williamsport. Is that a safe area? Also, is there parking at the Slate Run trailhead? Realistically, I will drive up from Philly, then bike from Slate Run southward...

    How does the Abus 540 U Lock mount to the bike?

    Hi, I am looking at buying the Abus 540 U Lock and was wondering how the mounting shackle affixed to the bike. Does your bike need a straight section of round tube for the mounting adapter? I have a BH Rebel Lynx Full Suspension bike, and was not sure if I would need a pannier to carry the U Lock.

    How are you guys lifting your ebikes over your truck tailgate pad?

    Looks great. I have a 5 foot truck bed. How long is it when folded up? Would this ramp work with the tailgate closed, to get the bike over the closed tailgate and onto a tailgate pad? Any pictures?

    How are you guys lifting your ebikes over your truck tailgate pad?

    What you suggested with the ramps is basically what I am already doing. Currently, I have a 2x4 piece of plywood that I keep in the bed. I use the plywood to wheel the eBike up into the bed, and then strap it down with a couple ratchet straps. I use a Gorilla stepstool to help me get into the...

    Good evening, I have a BH Rebel Lynx, size Medium frame. I am shopping for a bike bag that I could use to bring my eBike into a hotel that does not normally allow bikes to be brought inside. Think Bed and Breakfasts that would be horrified at the thought of a muddy eBike ruining the new...
