  • Our e-bikes reach speeds of 20 mph when fully throttled. The speeds can increase or decrease depending on hills and surfaces.

    Each e-bike has a battery life of 6 to 8 hours, ensuring you have plenty of time to explore some of the best parts of Northern Michigan. You can conserve power by manually pedaling and not being on full throttle for the full rental duration.

  • Reservations may be canceled with a full refund if requested one day before the rental date. Please email (anchorinn.mi@gmail.com) or call (231)-714-4484 in the event that you must cancel a rental.
