How does Wisconsin define what an electric bike is?
Ebikes are regulated like bicycles.  The same rules of the road apply to both ebikes and human-powered bicycles.
Wisconsin designates three classes of electric bikes.
  • Class 1: Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the ebike reaches 20 mph.
  • Class 2: Bicycle equipped with a throttle-actuated motor, that ceases to provide assistance when the ebike reaches 20 mph.
  • Class 3 : Bicycle equipped with a motor that provides assistance only when the rider is pedaling, and that ceases to provide assistance when the e-bike reaches 28 mph.
Do you need a license, insurance or registration in Wisconsin?
Electric bikes are not subject to the registration, licensing or insurance requirements that apply to motor vehicles.

Once you have made your reservation we set aside that time and day for you, making it unavailable for anyone else. Therefore, if you wish to cancel and your reservation is more than 24 hours away you will be responsible for only half the price of booking. However, if you cancel less than 24 hours in advance you will be responsible for the full price.

What if we damage/lose a bike or any of the equipment?

When you sign the waiver you are taking responsibility for your experience. This means that you are financially responsible to replace anything that you may have broken or lost. If this ends up happening we will assess the damage with you and explain how to move forward.

Why do we only have to sign one waiver for our group?

The person who decides to sign the waiver is the designated “guardian” of the group. This person is accepting responsibility of the reservation. This is also explained in the waiver.

What is the brand of your E-Bikes?

We have some of the most accommodating electric bikes on the market, featuring the Eunorau fat tire step though bicycles.  These bikes are very easy to mount as well as ride. When cruising, you decide just how much effort you want to put in.  If you are looking to get a good sweat, simply set it to 1or 2, or turn it off and let your legs do the work.  If you are looking for an easy ride, just set your power to 3, 4, or 5 and let the Eunorau take you where you want to go.  You do have to steer though!  Our bikes are always charged up and ready to whisk you away to wherever you want to ride off to.  With so many attractions around Door County, you will have plenty of options.
