Moab E-Bike Rentals
Moab, Utah, is known worldwide as a mecca for mountain biking, hiking, and 4x4 adventures. But let’s be honest—the desert heat, high altitude, and steep, sandy terrain can take the fun out of a pedal-powered bike pretty quickly.
Enter E-bikes!
Renting an e-bike
at Bike Fiend isn't cheating; it’s optimizing. It allows you to cover more ground, climb steeper hills with a smile, and spend less time sweating and more time soaking in the unparalleled scenery of the Colorado River and red rock canyons. Whether you are a seasoned mountain biker looking to speed up the climb or a beginner looking to explore, an e-bike rental is the best way to experience the area. Ride in style with e-bikes from AMFLOW, Cannondale, and Salsa.

2. Access Stunning Views with Less Effort
Want to see the views at Dead Horse Point State Park or explore the scenic Klondike Bluffs without losing your breath? E-bikes make the ascent easy, allowing you to focus on the spectacular panorama of canyons and pinnacles.
3. More Miles, More Smiles
Because you are cruising faster and with less fatigue, you can ride further. Take that extra loop, explore a new path, and see more of Moab’s unique landscapes in a single day.

Quick Tips for Your Moab E-Bike Trip
Book in Advance: E-bikes are popular! Secure your rental, especially if visiting during spring or fall.
Understand Class 1: Most trails allowing e-bikes require Class 1 (pedal assist only, no throttle).
Manage Your Battery: Deep sand and steep climbs drain batteries faster. Switch to "Eco" mode on flat sections to save power for the hills.
Bring Water: You are still in the desert! Always carry more water than you think you need.
