FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHAT IS THE BATTERY RANGE OF THE BIKE VOLCANO E-BIKE?

 

Electric bike (e-bike) battery range varies! Depending on weight, hills and how much you use the throttle, most folks average 30 miles although many have achieved much more by using the pedal-assist efficiently.

 

DO I NEED TO WEAR A HELMET?

Yes! We require our customers to wear helmets for your safety!  We provide all of our customers with a bike helmet.

 

HOW FAST DO THE E-BIKES GO?

Our electric bikes comply with federal and state regulations. Basically our e-bikes can go about 20MPH on electric only.  With pedaling, you e-bike can exceed that speed!

  

ARE E-BIKES WATERPROOF? CAN I RIDE IN THE RAIN?

E-bikes are not waterproof and should not be submerged in water, but are water resistant and able to be used in the rain and other inclement weather conditions. To preserve the condition of your bike and make it last longer, we recommend wiping it down after use in the rain and storing it in a dry environment.  – PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT WE DO NOT GIVE REFUNDS OR RAIN CHECK DUE TO RAINING WEATHER CONDITIONS.  PLEASE DRESS APPROPRIATELY AND BE PREPARED FOR WET, WINDY, AND MISTY CONDITIONS. Temperatures at the Summit (4000′ above sea level) sometimes range in the low 60’s to upper 70’s.

 

IS THERE AN AGE REQUIREMENT?

In Hawaii, persons 15 years and older may operate an e-bike. 

 

WHERE AM I ALLOWED TO RIDE AN E-BIKE?

All our e-bikes are considered an ‘electrically assisted pedal cycle’ (EAPC) and are permitted on the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Bike trails, bike paths and roadways.  It is prohibited to take them on non bicycle trails or past Puhimau Crater on the Chain of Crataers Road in the Hawaii Volcanoes Natiaonal Park (please consult your GPS map).

 

IS THERE A WEIGHT LIMIT TO RENT AN E-BIKE?

All our e-bikes are available to be rented. There is a weight limit for the e-bike rental. The weight limit is 250 lbs. 

 

WHAT ARE THE PICK-UP AND DROP OFF TIMES?  CAN I KEEP THE E-BIKE OVERNIGHT?

All our e-bikes are available to be picked up anytime between (10AMM – ideally by 12PM) and dropped off by our closing time (generally 4PM).  If you are staying in the Volcano area you can keep your bike until opening  time the following day.  For reservations less than 24 hours of the pickup date, please call (808) 934-9199 to arrange pick-up time.

 

ARE CAR BIKE RACKS PROVIDED AND CAN YOU TAKE THE E-BIKES OUTSIDE THE VOLCANO AREA?
