E-bike through Kapalua — Maui’s Premier Resort Area!

Duration: 8 hours

Offered languages: English

Overview

Kapalua, loosely translated as “arms embracing the sea,” is one of Maui’s premier resort areas located at the foot of the verdant Kahalawai or West Maui mountains. Kapalua’s lovely shoreline is lined with five bays and three white-sand beaches, one of which was named “The Best Beach in America” by the University of Maryland’s Laboratory of Coastal Research.

The Kapalua Resort has miles of trails to hike, including the 3.5-mile Coastal Trail. At the ocean’s edge throughout Kapalua Resort, the coastal trail runs north from award-winning Kapalua Bay Beach, across the sand dunes at picturesque Oneloa Bay, through The Ritz-Carlton, Kapalua’s scenic grounds to popular D.T. Fleming Beach Park. The 3.5-mile trail will reach historic Honolua Bay, where the voyaging canoe Hokule‘a began its maiden voyage to Tahiti, launching the Hawaiian cultural renaissance in spring 1976, and where surfers all over the world come over to enjoy its winter swell.

Please note 3.5-mile coastal trail is not a bike trail. You can park your bike and walk the coastal trail and take amazing pictures.

Know before you go

What to bring and wear?
Comfortable cloths for biking, closed toe shoes for riding, water, sunscreen and a backpack (if you have one available)

How long will the battery last?
Typically, you can expect non-premium e-bikes to last between 12 - 30 miles on a single charge, and premium e-bikes to last between 30 - 60 miles. This will depend on the weight of the rider, how the bike gear system is used by the rider, the amount of pedal assistance used, the type of bike and the type of terrain (hilly vs. non-hilly). To attain the maximum range, make sure to use the gear system and apply a lower level of pedal assist. Especially when going uphill, make sure you are on a lower gear. If you run out of battery, the beauty is you will still be able to pedal and use gears and ride like a regular bike. If you are using a bike for more than a day, we recommend charging the battery each night, as it may take several hours to get to a full charge. We will show you how to remove and charge the battery during your orientation. If you are renting bikes for longer range and riding towards the north side of West Maui, employ energy saving techniques.

Keep your Bike Secure and Safe
A lock and helmet are included with each rental free of charge. It is your responsibility to pick up and return these items.

Store the e-bike in a safe location protected from the rain.

If you get off your bike, be sure to lock the bike and battery to a stationary object.

DO NOT change the lock combination. If you do this by mistake, please inform RideSmart Maui of the new combo.
