How long does the battery last on a full charge?
The battery life of an eBike depends on the model, terrain, rider weight, and level of pedal assistance used. Most eBikes can travel between 25-60 miles on a single charge. For optimal battery life, we recommend using a balanced combination of pedal assist and manual pedaling.

Do I need a special license to ride an eBike?
No special license is required to ride an eBike in Sarasota, Lido Key, Siesta Key, and surrounding areas. eBikes are classified similarly to regular bicycles as long as they comply with local power and speed regulations.

Can I ride an eBike in the rain?
Yes! Our eBikes are designed to handle light rain and occasional splashes. However, we recommend avoiding heavy downpours, deep puddles, and saltwater exposure to protect the electrical components and prolong the lifespan of your bike.

How long does it take to charge an eBike battery?
Charging times vary depending on the battery capacity and charger type, but most eBike batteries take between 4 to 6 hours to fully charge. We recommend charging the battery after each ride to ensure it's ready for your next adventure.

What should I do if the battery runs out while riding?
If your battery runs out during a ride, don't worry—you can still pedal the eBike like a traditional bicycle. However, due to the extra weight of the motor and battery, riding without assistance may require more effort.

Are eBikes safe for beginners?
Absolutely! eBikes are great for beginners because they provide pedal assistance, making it easier to ride with less effort. At Opua Adventures, we offer brief tutorials before your ride to ensure you're comfortable with the controls and safety features before heading out.

Can I take an eBike on public transport?
Some public transportation services allow eBikes, but restrictions may apply based on bike size, weight, and battery transport regulations. We recommend checking with the specific transport provider before your trip.

Do eBikes require special maintenance?
Additionally, ensure the battery is stored in a dry place, avoid extreme temperatures, and charge it periodically if not in use for extended periods.
